Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore didn’t expect Christopher to notice so many details about the man in black. His heart felt heavy as he walked over and asked, “What’s the license plate number?”

“Are you interrogating me?” Christopher asked. He raised his eyebrows and was very dissatisfied with his attitude.

Theodore frowned, but he didn’t care about Christopher’s attitude. He turned around and said to the nurse, “Look after my brother.”

“Yes, Mr. Godfrey.”

Theodore turned around and directly walked past him. He acted as if he wasn’t the person who was eager to know more about the identity of the man in black.

Christopher could not understand what just happened. What did this mean?

Wasn’t he curious about the man who tried to kill Xavier?

Theodore took out his phone while he was walking and called Moses. He wanted him to investigate the footage of the surveillance cameras at the entrance of the hospital.

The person whom Christopher saw would be the culprit who had wanted to hurt Xavier.

Moses nodded and agreed to start the investigation soon.

The next day, Everleigh went to the hospital and heard everyone talking about what had happened the previous night.

At first, she did not pay much attention to it. Later, when she heard them talking about the ward which Xavier was in, she realized that there was a problem.

“The incident that you all are talking about, when did it happen?” She asked.

When the nurse heard her question, she was dumbfounded. “It happened last night,” she answered.

Everleigh’s face darkened. She got up and went to Xavier’s ward to have a look.

She saw him lying on the bed, with a nurse sitting on the sofa. “Dr. Trevino,” the nurse greeted.

“How’s Xavier doing?” Everleigh asked.

“He’s fine. Dr. Meyer has already checked on him,” the nurse replied.

“That’s good,” Everleigh said and breathed a small sigh of relief.

“Dr. Trevino, you’re very close with Mr. Godfrey. I hope that you can tell him not to fire me. I went to buy something last night because I was too hungry, and a disaster almost happened because of me,” the nurse said pitifully with her head down.

Everleigh knew that she had been taking good care of Xavier for the past few days. She would help to clean and wipe his body every day. She was a really nice person.

“Don’t worry. You’re a good nurse. I will help you talk to him,” Everleigh agreed immediately.

That afternoon, she went to the company to find Theodore to discuss the matter with him.

He didn’t say much about it.

“I’m not going to fire her. She’s just being paranoid,” he replied.

She nodded and continued to ask, “Have you found the culprit? I wasn’t able to match the pictures together from the stories I heard from the nurses.”

Theodore’s gaze darkened as he said in a deep voice, “I’ve found the car from last night. It’s a scrap car. It’s also because it’s just a scrap car, so no one knows where the culprit is.”

Everleigh was shocked and said, “If that’s the case, it’s really not easy to deal with this.”

“Wilson’s methods have always been clever. The dead won’t be able to speak,” he said. Although he knew that he was the one behind it, what could he do?

How could he not know Wilson’s character? His mouth was sealed.

If there was no evidence against him, Wilson would never admit his wrong.

“Then what should we do now?” She asked.

“I’ve already sent some people to look into it,” he responded calmly. However, he knew in his heart that if he didn’t succeed this time, he would stop sending anyone else.

Maybe the man who tried to hurt Xavier the night before was already dead.

However, he couldn’t tell Everleigh about it.

He didn’t want her to worry.

Both of them felt downcast. They sat together and didn’t say anything.

At that moment, Moses came in and said, “Mr. Godfrey, I just received a message from the prison saying that Madam Madison wants to meet you.”

Everleigh was startled when she heard this. She had almost forgotten about Madison.

She didn’t know how Madison would react once she found out that Yvonne was dead.

“Alright,” Theodore replied. He was having a headache now. He didn’t know what she wanted from him.

Moses walked out.

Everleigh said, “Let me go with you. I think I should make it clear to her about what had happened that year.”

Theodore felt bad and said, “She won’t be happy to see you if you were to follow me.”

When he recalled the time when she was bullied by his own mother, he felt like he was a piece of trash.

He wasn’t even able to protect his beloved one.

“I still feel very ashamed to hear you talking about it,” he continued.

“You don’t have to feel ashamed. It was just a misunderstanding, and it was my fault because I was the one who didn’t investigate it thoroughly. Although she was also at fault, we shouldn’t force her to take the blame for something that she didn’t commit,” she said calmly, with a trace of guilt in her tone.

She would also feel slightly more at ease if she made things clear.

The next day, Everleigh wore a black dress and followed Theodore to the prison.

She looked at Madison; her face was pale and sallow, and her face and eyes were also slightly yellow.

With one look, Everleigh could tell that she had signs of liver disease.

Madison sat down and raised her head. She was frowning and her hair was in a mess. They could only imagine how hard her life was in prison.

However, no one dared to bully her there. Theodore had made sure of that.

“Mom… ”

“Everleigh, how dare you come here?” Madison snapped as she turned her head and glared at her. She suddenly became agitated, and her yellow eyes were full of anger.

“Aunty, you’d better calm down and listen to what I have to say,” Everleigh replied. She didn’t mind that she snapped at her.

Madison, on the other hand, was fuming with rage.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“You…” She was so furious that she couldn’t even speak. She turned to look at Theodore and asked, “What is your motive for bringing her here?”

“Mom, did you call me here to let me see how you’re going crazy?” He said with a cold voice that was like ice in the winter.

Anyone who heard his tone would tremble.

Madison looked at him and suddenly understood. “I didn’t expect you to be so indifferent even though you were the one who sent me here. What’s so good about this woman that you have to protect her like this?” She asked.

He raised his head and looked her in the eyes coldly. “If you’re just here to humiliate Everleigh and you’re already done with what you wanted to say, then we’ll leave first.”

As Theodore got up and was about to pull Everleigh out of the room, Madison’s eyes were flustered and she shouted hurriedly, “Wait.”

He stopped in his tracks, with his arm around Everleigh’s shoulders. “What do you want to say?” He asked.

Madison’s heart immediately felt uncomfortable when she heard his voice. “I’ve already been here for such a long time. Why didn’t you come and see me?”

His gaze softened, but he still didn’t reply.

Everleigh felt his body stiffen. As she raised her head to look at him, she secretly tugged at the corner of his shirt, hinting him to sit down.

She held his hand and sat on the chair. “There wasn’t any need for me to follow him here today, but I still came because I want to apologize to you,” she said in a cold voice.

Hearing her words, Madison sneered, “You want to apologize to me? Everleigh, you’re just trying to get on Theodore’s good side, aren’t you?”

Everleigh knew that nothing good would come out from her mouth, so she wasn’t bothered at all. She continued, “Do you think your son still needs me to flatter him? Your son is the one who needs me to be with him. Now that I have a high status, nobody at all will interest me.”

Seeing that she had belittled her son like that, Madison became even angrier. “You… You’re such a shameless woman. How can you be so confident that my son wouldn’t be able to live without you?”
