Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh looked at his actions, and was puzzled. “Where are you going?”

“I have to catch a flight. I’ve managed to find most of the people on the list, and there are two who are abroad, so I’ll go and take a look. Although, there’s one more person who is abroad, and I think it’s better for you to look for him yourself. Here, I’ve sorted out the detailed information for you.” After Elvir finished speaking, he left straightaway.

He was really in a hurry.

She took the file back to her office, and Christopher was already there waiting for her.

“Everleigh, I’ve found the locations of several people. Come here and have a look.”

“Take a look at this too.” She handed him the file.

He was confused. When he looked through the document and saw the information, his eyes widened.

“Oh my gosh, who gave this to you? It’s so detailed!”

She scanned through the information prepared by Christopher as well, and it was basically the same as what Elvir had investigated.

“Elvir came by just now. He passed this to me and left. It seems like he is going to a neighboring country, and the only one left is…” Everleigh pointed to a name on the document, Xemon White, from Maniville.

Christopher looked at his details. “Xemon is working in… Jenkins Group?”

No way, he was working in Jenkins Group.

That…

“He’s working in my Aunt Missha’s company.” She had talked about it with Missha before, and she mentioned that she wanted to look for him in the future.

She remembered everything about him.

Unexpectedly, it was actually useful to her.

Christopher’s mouth twitched. “This is really incredible. I guess it’s destiny.”

Everleigh looked at the document on the table, and had an indescribable feeling in her heart. The whole matter could be extremely serious. It wasn’t really appropriate for her to look for him just like that.

“We need to find an excuse to look for him.”

“Excuse? Do you even need a reason to visit your own aunt?” He asked in confusion.

He felt that there wasn’t a problem for her to visit her own aunt’s company.

She sighed softly, “If I just show up to my aunt’s company and investigate her employee like this, do you think she wouldn’t ask any questions?”

After thinking about it for a while, he felt a little uneasy.

If Missha really asked questions, could Everleigh tell her the truth? What would Missha think if she found out about it? Questions began to appear in his mind.

It was indeed a difficult situation to deal with.

Suddenly, both of them fell silent. However, two nurses in the corridor who were walking by suddenly said, “There’s a meeting later, and I heard that it will be about an exchange program to Maniville for ten days.”

“Ten days? What can we learn in ten days?”

“We’ll just be looking at different machines, won’t we?”

Everleigh and Christopher both heard the conversation and looked at each other tacitly. “We have an excuse.”

“I’m going to find Mr. Lawson right now. I’m sure he’ll be very happy for us to go,” she said with a smile. Then, she headed straight to Benedict’s office.

As expected, he agreed. After all, she had a good understanding of medical machinery. It would be really good for her to learn a few new things.

Soon, all the doctors in the hospital received the news that she was joining the exchange program, especially Maxwell. “It’s rare to see you volunteering in such a program.”

“Dr. Harrison, I’m not that lazy, okay? I’m doing it for the people,” she responded to his mockery.

He rolled his eyes at her. It was true that a doctor’s duty was to serve the people, but it seemed that Everleigh was just taking it as an opportunity to go for a short vacation.

He couldn’t be bothered to expose her, so he switched the topic. “When are you coming over to my place? My wife really misses you and the two children.”

“I’ll be there tonight, and I’ll bring along the kids. Of course, I have a request, I want her pork chops,” she said with a grin.

She was craving it. The pork chops that Priscilla made were literally the best in the world. She would never forget the taste for the rest of her life.

It was such a pity that she wasn’t a talented cook, so she could only watch other people make good food.

“No problem. I’ll give her a call later to prepare it for you.”

“Thank you so much! Alright, I have to go now. See you later.” Everleigh had to prepare for her trip to Maniville. Plus, there was nothing else for her to do at the hospital.

In the evening, she brought Alastair and Adrienne over to Maxwell’s house. When Priscila heard that they were coming for dinner, not only did she prepare the pork chops, she even bought a bunch of delicious snacks for the two children.

“Madam Priscilla, it’s nice to finally see you again, I’ve missed you so much!” Adrienne rushed in and gave her a big hug before kissing her on the cheek.

“I’ve missed you too, Adrienne. Come in. Let me show you the snacks that I’ve bought.”

“Alright!” Adrienne was a sweet talker, and she always made people happy. Even an old man like Maxwell was amused by her and laughed.

Then, Maxwell and the two kids sat in the living room while Everleigh helped Priscilla out in the kitchen.

“These two kids are really adorable. You’re so lucky to have them.”

“Well, sometimes Adrienne might be disobedient and will make trouble together with Alastair.” Everleigh knew that she was lucky, but when she thought about the times that they had caused trouble, it really gave her a headache.

Priscilla smiled and said, “Don’t say that. Kids are supposed to be mischievous and lively. You should be grateful.”

“I’m very grateful to have them, but, I’ll be even more grateful if you can prepare your pork chops more often.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Priscilla chuckled, “I knew that you would say this. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you bring all the leftovers home when you leave.”

“Great!” Everleigh was looking forward to it.

At the dining table, Adrienne ate a lot of food, and her lips were stained with grease.

Priscilla wiped her mouth and said, “You greedy little girl, eat slowly.”

“If the child likes it, just let her enjoy it.” Maxwell was tired of her nagging and he didn’t want to listen to it anymore.

Everleigh knew that it was their habit to squabble everyday, so she didn’t care about it.

Before leaving, Maxwell stopped her and asked, “Everleigh, is there something else you want to do during your overseas trip?”

“How do you know?” She was stunned. Was she acting so obvious?

He chuckled and responded, “I know you well, but now that you have accomplished many things, as your mentor, I don’t think I no longer know you that well.”

His words were rather sentimental. He had a lot of knowledge in medicine, but he didn’t know much about emotions.

She understood what he meant. During that period of time, she had been focusing on her research on new medicines and medical equipment, so she didn’t have much time for consultations.

“Dr. Harrison, a medical practitioner must be benevolent and kind-hearted. That is what you taught me, and I’ve never forgotten about it. However, everything that I’m doing right now is also contributing to the field of medicine. I know that you are disappointed with my recent behavior, but I really hope that you can trust me. I’ve never forgotten the reason why I wanted to become a doctor. Whenever I’m holding a scalpel, I know my duties and responsibilities.”

His thin lips tightened a little when he heard her words.

“Dr. Harrison, it’s time for me to leave. I’ll come over again when I have time.” After saying that, she turned around and left with Alastair and Adrienne.

Everleigh remained silent on their way back. The children could sense that she was in a bad mood, so they didn’t speak as well.

“Mommy, are you feeling unhappy?”

“How do you know I’m feeling unhappy?”
