Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Christopher didn’t know how to comfort Everleigh. If she wasn’t as smart and as intelligent, would she have been happier?

“Christopher, please investigate this. Whatever the truth is, I’ll accept it,” she finally said after a moment of silence.

The truth would have to be revealed sooner or later, and she would have to accept it one day.

He nodded, turned around and left.

She went home in the afternoon. She was really tired and wanted to have a good rest. Troubles were coming one after another, and it was really exhausting.

Adrienne and Alastair called her as soon as they arrived home. However, when they heard her cell phone ringing, they knew that she was at home. When Everleigh walked out of her room, they noticed that she looked gaunt.

“Mommy, are you tired?” Adrienne went over and held her hand while asking.

Everleigh nodded. “Yes, I’m really tired.”

“Sit down and rest then. Let me help you massage your shoulders.” Then, Adrienne brought her to sit down on the sofa and massaged her shoulders.

Alastair gave her a leg massage as well.

The two children were putting all their energy into it.

Selena and Abraham stood at the door. Looking at the scenario in the living room, they were both staggered.

“How could you let your two children be your masseurs?” Selena pretended to be surprised and asked.

Of course, she knew that Alastair and Adrienne were doing it willingly, but she was really envious. The two children were so kind-hearted.

Everleigh glanced at her helplessly and responded, “My children are just taking care of me. I’ve been raising them for so many years, so it’s time for them to repay me.”

Abraham raised his eyebrows. “If that’s the case, shouldn’t both of you repay me too?”

“Of course,” Selena replied.

Abraham nodded, took off his coat, and rested his feet on the table. “Alright then, give me a massage. I’m tired, too.”

Everleigh and Selena exchanged looks, got up, and gave him a massage. Alastair and Adrienne joined in as well, massaging each of his legs.

“Alastair, Adrienne, you don’t have to do it. Just leave it to them,” Abraham said.

“No, if Mommy has to do it, we can’t just stand there and watch her do it,” Alastair answered seriously.

Adrienne nodded in agreement. In the end, the two adults led the two children and gave the old man a relaxing massage.

Although it looked hilarious, the atmosphere was rather warm and harmonious.

Adrienne took out her phone, took a photo of them, and captioned it as ‘family’.

Theodore was looking at his phone after taking a shower. When he saw Adrienne’s photo, the corners of his lips curled into a smile.

It was indeed a loving photo.

The next day, when Christopher arrived at the hospital, his eye bags were big and dark.

“Everleigh, here you go,” he said.

When she looked at the folder full of information, she felt as if her heart was aching badly.

“Why aren’t you reading it?” He asked.

“I don’t have the courage to accept the truth,” she looked up and said. She really didn’t know what to do.

He understood her words, and his eyes sparkled slightly. “Just take a look at it, maybe the results will be different from what you think.”

Everleigh didn’t hear his words. Her hand trembled slightly as she picked it up and read it carefully.

However, the more she read, the more surprised she became. “How could this be?”

“It’s surprising, isn’t it? I didn’t believe it when I first saw it, too. It seems that your uncle is really innocent,” As soon as Christopher’s words rang out, she was relieved.

“How did you find this?”

“I really have to thank Elvir for it. As soon as he found out that the man had disappeared, he left straight for him. Fortunately, that man’s son is a gambling addict. When my men found him, he directly told them everything. He said that Saniogo was really there that day, but he left straight after he made a payment at the counter.” Christopher’s words proved that Saniogo had told them the truth.

Saniogo had claimed that he had only been to the counter that day and didn’t even enter the departure area, not to mention seeing the plane.

Everleigh frowned. “How did that man’s son know about it? Why would his father even tell him?”

He took out another letter which looked quite old. “This is a letter written by that man after he left. He seems to know who did it. Perhaps he knew that he might not survive, so he left this letter with his last words. His son did not throw this away as he knew that someone would be looking for it. He wanted to sell it for a high price,” Christopher replied.

She sighed. Was that person too smart, or too stupid?

However, she didn’t care much. She took the letter and started reading.

The words written on it were all about the incident. He also mentioned that other than him, a man named Mr. White had tampered with the plane, too.

They had not seen each other for so many years. He didn’t know where Mr. White had gone.

“So, this Mr. White is a key figure then?” She guessed.

“Yes, but his full name isn’t mentioned in this letter. We only know that his last name is White. Unfortunately, there are simply too many people in this world with that last name.”

Christopher’s head hurt again. Knowing only the last name of the culprit didn’t have any significance on the investigation.

His brain was burning.

“Wait, there’s also a ‘she’ mentioned in the letter,” Everleigh spoke as she noticed a keyword.

There was a possibility that a woman was involved in it as well.

Otherwise, why would there be a ‘she’?

“If we want to know who ‘she’ is, we have to find Mr. White,” she added.

“There are indeed a few people with the last name White in Elvir’s name list, but some of them have already died. It won’t be easy to find the rest,” Christopher said as he grabbed his hair. It became even messier.

However, Everleigh had hope. No matter where that person was at, and no matter how much resources she would have to waste, she was determined to find him.

“Christopher, can you find him?” She asked.

“I’ve already sent someone to locate him, what about you? What are you going to do about the Jenkins family?” He thought that she owed Saniogo an apology.

She fell silent. After thinking for a long moment, she said, “Let me calm down first. We can talk about this later.”

He knew that she was guilt-ridden, so he didn’t force her. He knew that she would eventually look for Saniogo after she couldn’t bear it anymore.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly spoke, “Maybe your uncle doesn’t mind.”

“But I mind it. If it wasn’t for this letter, my suspicion on him wouldn’t have changed at all.” Her words came from the heart.

He nodded and didn’t say anything else. He stood up and left.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

At that moment, the nurse rushed in hurriedly and said, “Dr. Trevino… He… He just moved his fingers!”

Upon hearing that, Everleigh rushed directly to Xavier’s ward. However, he was still lying motionlessly on the bed.

It was completely different from what the nurse had just said.

“I swear I saw him move just now.”

She then took out a machine and examined his condition. After a thorough examination, she found out that there wasn’t any progress at all.

“Dr. Trevino…”

“It’s a neurological reaction. This condition is quite common among coma patients,” she said with slight disappointment.

She would only believe that Xavier had woken up from his coma if his eyes were wide open.

“I’m so sorry, Dr. Trevino. I was just too excited,” the nurse apologized.

“It’s alright, I understand. Just take good care of him, I’ll get back to work.” Then, Everleigh took her stethoscope with her and left the room.
