Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The two of them went back with the drinks, but neither of them said anything about the previous topic. Instead, they talked more about Alastair and Adrienne.

When they went back, Abraham had already left. Saniogo was lying down to rest, while Alexander was looking at the computer with a worried expression on his face.

“Alexander, where is my father?”

“Mr. Trevino answered the phone and went out. It seemed like he was in a hurry,” he explained.

Everleigh fell silent after hearing that and remembered what Theodore had said before. It seemed that something had happened, and Abraham had hurried back to deal with it.

Missha didn’t know what was going on. She just put the drinks on the table and said, “Alexander, this is for you.”

“Thank you, Aunt Missha.”

“You’re welcome. If you’re really busy, go back to the company first. I’ll stay here and watch over him. I have free time anyway,” she said. Alexander had worked hard these days; she couldn’t bear to let him do everything.

He was busy with all his family affairs and the business.

“It’s fine. There’s no big problems in the company. I can handle it here,” Alexander replied softly, with his eyes fixed on Saniogo, who was lying on the sickbed.

He hadn’t been by his father’s side for so many years and now, this was his chance. He didn’t want to have regrets if anything bad happened to his father.

Everleigh took a sip of her tea, looked at the clock, and quickly said, “I have a meeting in the afternoon. I’ll have to leave first.”

Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Missha said quickly, “Wait, Everleigh. Take the tea with you.” However, when she walked over, Everleigh had already run to the end of the corridor.

Missha sighed helplessly. She turned around and saw Cecil walking over in a hurry.

“Cecil.”

“Miss Jenkins.” Cecil was running over in a hurry. She looked nothing like a lady from a rich family. She was gasping heavily for air.

Missha heard her and wanted to correct her on how Cecil addressed her, but on second thought, there was nothing wrong with what she said.

“Come in.”

Alexander looked up and saw her coming in. He was surprised and said, “Cecil, when did you arrive?”

“Your father is ill. Why didn’t you tell me? If Christopher hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known.” As soon as she entered, she started to complain, but there was still a hint of concern in her eyes.

She liked Saniogo very much, so of course she didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.

Alexander smiled wryly. He had also forgotten about this matter and did not tell her about it.

“It’s my fault.”

“Of course, it’s your negligence.” Cecil’s voice was a little loud. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at the person lying on the bed. Seeing that he was in deep sleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Missha and Alexander could not help but laugh as they watched her. At least she knew she was being a little loud.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Cecil looked a little embarrassed. She was too impulsive.

“It’s my fault. I’ve been here these two days to take care of Dad and I’ve forgotten about it. Forgive me, but I’m still very happy that you came.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, of course. Come sit down and eat something. I’ll tell you what’s going on.” Alexander took her hand and sat down to explain the whole matter to her.

Right at that moment, Everleigh went in for her meeting, which was nothing more than a discussion about the performance of the hospital that month, as well as the affairs regarding the exchange students, which was happening soon.

Christopher listened and turned to look at Erine, who was sitting next to him. Anxiety filled his eyes.

After noticing it, Stainley whispered in Everleigh’s ear, “There’s something wrong with Christopher.”

“You already know why,” she responded in a low voice.

Christopher looked at the two of them disdainfully. “If you two want to say something about me, shouldn’t you lower your voice?”

“We wanted you to hear it, or else you won’t notice how infatuated you look right now.” She joked; how she wished she took a picture of him with her phone.

He rolled his eyes at the two of them and lowered his head to avoid looking at them.

In fact, he was a little confused. Recently, Erine didn’t avoid being with him, but it did not mean that she had feelings for him.

She changed because of Everleigh. She once said that Everleigh advised her to try to accept him, but trying didn’t mean that she would actually accept him. He thought that since he had been around, he had seen many people like her.

However, people like Erine were hard to figure out.

If you were to describe the feeling of being lost and bewildered, that was the state Christopher was in right at that moment.

At last, Benedict spoke into the microphone, “Also, fellow exchange students, if you like the environment here, you can choose to stay. The exchange students between two countries have such priority and benefit. If you want to leave, just tell me within three days.”

As soon as he finished his words, there were discussions between everyone, especially Christopher. He quickly grabbed Everleigh’s hand and said expectantly, “Everleigh, you must help me this time.”

She clapped her hand on his shoulder and said as if she put her life on the line, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you deal with Erine.”

“Don’t mess it up. Just look at Erine. She seems a little conflicted,” Stainley whispered to remind her.

The three of them focused their sight on her. The confused look on Erine’s little face could be seen clearly.

After the meeting, Christopher forced Everleigh to talk to Erine. He must know what was going on.

She had no choice but to brace herself and talk to her.

“Erine.”

“Everleigh.” When Erine heard her call for her, she stopped in her tracks. Everleigh came over and suddenly, she didn’t know what to say.

“Well, um…”

Erine already knew what Everleigh was going to ask her. She smiled and said, “Come on, let’s go to the garden and have a drink as we talk.”

Everleigh nodded and they went to the vending machine to buy drinks before going to the hospital garden.

As soon as she sat down, Erine opened the lid and asked, “You wanted to ask me about Christopher, don’t you?”

“He’s afraid that you might leave,” Everleigh answered truthfully.

The corners of Erine’s lips twitched and she said, “I can see that. When Mr. Lawson mentioned it before, I could feel his clear gaze on me.”

“Then what do you have in mind? I know I shouldn’t be asking so much, but you know how Christopher is. Nothing fears him more than you leaving.” After saying that, Everleigh felt that she said too much.

Erine frowned slightly. Her dark eyes projected confusion. Honestly, she didn’t know whether she should leave or not. If she stayed, Christopher would be here, but if she went back, the man she was arranged to marry would be there. Both sides were complicated.

Everleigh saw her hesitation. She chuckled, “Well, I won’t force you. You still have three days. You can think about it. Erine, I can see that you have changed a lot for Christopher. Why don’t you get to know him more?”

“I’m afraid that if I fail, I won’t even have the courage to fight back. My parents’ incident has been a great blow to me.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
