Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore knew that there had been a blood clot in Everleigh’s brain, and Maxwell had said that he was concerned that the clot would not dissipate. If it did not dissipate, surgery would be necessary. Regrettably, the clot had remained when Everleigh was in a coma.

Who would have thought that the blood clot would disappear after she woke up?

“That’s great,” Theodore said, glancing at Everleigh, who was lying on the bed. Her eyes were tightly closed, and he finally felt relieved.

The news that Everleigh woke up was soon known by everyone. The Trevino, Jenkins, Meyer, and Hayes family members all came to visit.

Especially Cecil, who hugged her and cried when she saw her. “You’re finally getting better. You have no idea how worried I was about you. I was so afraid that you would never wake up.”

Everleigh patted her on the shoulder, feeling like a disaster survivor.

“Hey, don’t worry. I’m okay now.”

Saniogo and Abraham’s eyes were also red. It was for the best that she was alright. They had both been worried that something dreadful would happen to her.

“Everleigh, would you like something to eat?”

“I want to have some meat. I’m so hungry,” she replied pitifully. She had had her nutrition shots, but they did nothing to stop the hunger.

“Dr. Harrison said that you should only eat some liquid food now. Otherwise, your stomach won’t be able to take it,” Theodore explained softly. He didn’t hide the feeling of heartache in his eyes. If it hadn’t been for the nutrient solution, she might have starved to death by now.

“I’ll get you some minced meat in your soup later so that it’ll be even better,” Saniogo said in a very caring tone.

“Yeah, and when you get better, I’ll have Christopher bring you your favorite meal,” Felicia said.

For the first time, Everleigh realized that it was really nice to have her family around. In the past, when she was abroad, no one came to take care of her even when she was babbling with a fever. That feeling of loneliness was something she never wanted to experience in her life.

“Where are Alastair and Adrienne?”

“Erine went to pick them up and they will be back soon,” Alexander explained. He was going to go, but Erine told him to go in first. Everleigh had finally woken up. Naturally, she wanted to see her family members, so he agreed.

As soon as his voice fell, Adrienne and Alastair came in.

The two of them rushed over and called her at the same time, “Mommy!”

“Alastair, Adrienne.” Everleigh looked at her two children and smiled brightly. When she had been kidnapped that day, she had thought that she would never see them again.

When they met again, she felt like she had survived a disaster.

It was a great time to be alive.

“Mommy, you’re finally awake. Alastair is tired,” Adrienne said in a childish tone, and the joy in her eyes could be clearly seen.

“Why?”

“You were sleeping, and Daddy had to stay with you everyday and didn’t care about the company’s business. Alastair had to handle the company’s affairs everyday after school. Don’t you feel pity for him?” Adrienne told her briefly about it.

Everleigh looked at Theodore and asked, “Is that true?”

“Yeah,” he replied. Between his wife and the company, he would definitely choose his wife.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

If he lost his company, he could start another one. If he lost his wife, she would be lost forever.

“Gosh, you haven’t seen Theodore during this period,” Cecil said. “His face was always covered with stubble and his hair was a mess. I almost wondered why you like him.”

As soon as Cecil’s words left her mouth, the room suddenly erupted in laughter.

Everleigh could imagine how hilarious he had looked, but she still felt warm inside. Theodore wouldn’t say many sweet nothings but he would let his actual actions speak for itself.

This was enough.

“He’s my husband no matter how awful he looks. In that sense, isn’t yours equally sloppy?” Everleigh spoke up for Theodore.

Cecil was speechless. She glanced at Alexander and said, “If he becomes like that, I won’t want him anymore.”

He was unhappy. “How can you say that? I haven’t agreed yet.”

He didn’t like hearing that. Since he and Cecil had been together, he wanted to see her everyday and loved her more and more.

His words made her blush. How could he not tell that she was joking?

However, everyone in the room couldn’t help but laugh at his words. Everyone knew that Alexander was a gentleman who was not very good at cracking jokes. God knew he had changed so much once he met Cecil.

The group stayed there for a long time before going back, and Alastair and Adrienne followed them. They had to go to school the next day so they couldn’t stay there too late.

Seeing that everyone had left, Theodore closed the door and walked over to hold Everleigh in his arms. “Thank God you woke up. Otherwise, I would have gone crazy.”

“I know, I heard everything you said to me.”

“You cruel woman. If you knew, why didn’t you wake up? Do you know how I endured for such a long time?” He complained. He didn’t know what kind of expression he would have on his face if she didn’t wake up. He didn’t know how his life would go in the future if she didn’t wake up.

Everleigh hugged Theodore’s back. She knew that it had been a torturous time for him. She had tried to comfort him when he cried, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t open her eyes.

All she had been able to do was listen to what people were saying to her.

“Theodore, I’m sorry.”

He released her and sat down in front of her. He reached out his hand and touched her face. “It was my fault. If it wasn’t for Wilson, you wouldn’t be put on the verge of death.”

Everleigh’s eyes turned red. She shook her head and said tearfully, “I don’t blame you. When I learned that Wilson had kidnapped me, my first thought was to worry if he would hurt you. I knew I was his bargaining chip and that he wouldn’t hurt me, but you were different. He could use you for bad things at any time.”

Theodore smiled bitterly. Up until this point, she was still the most concerned about him.

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t say sorry anymore. I don’t care, really. I’m fine now. Didn’t you say that Wilson got a life sentence? We’re going to get better as we go along.” Everleigh was not a woman to be retrospective. As long as she was alive, she would move on and enjoy her days.

Hearing her words, Theodore’s expression gradually regressed into an unpleasant one.

“What’s wrong? Why does your face look bad?”

“Everleigh, Wilson broke out of prison. It’s like he disappeared from the world and no one knows where he went,” he said coldly.

Her expression froze. “He… ran away?”

“I’m still sending people to find him. Don’t worry, I won’t let this happen again.” He wasn’t joking. He couldn’t accept what had happened this time. If it occurred again, that would be the last straw for him.

She nodded, reassuring him. She would also be careful not to let anything befall her.

Over time, her body gradually recovered. She went to the garden alone and basked in the sunshine. It felt so good.
