Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 65

After leaving Dr. Harrison's house, Everleigh went back home with Priscillia's gifts.

Adrienne loved meat. Her eyes lit up when she saw the roast beef. She put down the pizza and tailed after Everleigh, waiting for her to heat the food.

The two children were eating when Everleigh received a phone call from Christopher.

Everleigh answered the call and strode to the living room. "Hello? What's up?"

Christopher replied, "I'm just checking to see if you're feeling better."

"Sort of." Everleigh stretched her injured arm and added, "I don't have to go to the hospital after this, and I can just change the bandage at home. In a couple of days, it'll probably heal."

"What about your work? Did the hospital let you return to work?"

"Not yet." Everleigh was a little annoyed at the thought of that, too. She sat down on the sofa and leaned against it. "But I met Dr. Harrison today, and he said he'd work things out."

"Dr. Harrison is too upright. Two years ago, I met him at an international academic exchange. I don't think he'll be able to solve it."

"Are you sure? Dr. Lawson is Dr. Harrison's student, so Dr. Lawson should be willing to compromise."

"That is if no one stands in his way."

"What do you mean?" Everleigh was puzzled.

"Are you getting stupid after returning to Ocpeace City?" Christopher taunted, "Think about it. You started out as a normal doctor. You took care of your patients, but suddenly, the patient's family

member misunderstood you. Because of that, rumors started spreading like wildfire, and you were suspended. After that, you became a medical expert on set, and now you're injured. Don't you think that everything sounds a little fishy?"

Everleigh frowned. "Do you think that someone is pulling strings behind my back?"

"You finally figured it out?"

"I didn't offend anyone, so who would do this to me?"

"This world is not that pretty, you know. Are you sure no one would do this to you? Your colleagues might be jealous of you for being young and promising. Also, you have rivals in your love life. Well, they don't want you to stay in Ocpeace City."

Christopher's remarks made Everleigh's heart sink.

The hospital paid her handsomely to return to Ocpeace City. She was young and promising. Hence she would stand a huge chance to get a promotion. Therefore, she would be her colleagues' biggest rival.

However, that was definitely not a solid reason for them to frame her like that.

As for her love rivals, she could name a few who did not want her to stay in Ocpeace City. They were Josephine, Selena, and Theodore's mother.

Everleigh pointed out, "It shouldn't be Mrs. Godfrey. Before I was suspended, she didn't know that I was back."

"Between your sister and Josephine, who do you think would do it?"

"How did Mrs. Godfrey know that I'm back?" Everleigh was deep in her thoughts.

As far as she knew, after Theodore took over Godfrey Group, Mrs. Godfrey retired and no longer interfered. It was impossible for Mrs. Godfrey to keep an eye on Everleigh 24/7.

So how did Mrs. Godfrey know?

"It wasn't my sister." Everleigh took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Josephine did it."

Suddenly, she understood something else.

Theodore claimed that Everleigh showed Mrs. Godfrey evidence that Josephine abused the maid. He assumed that Everleigh was trying to interfere with his marriage, but where did those photos come from?

Mrs. Godfrey was not that free to keep an eye on her future daughter- in- law and the maid. Moreover, Mrs. Godfrey would not care less about the evidence.

Therefore, there was only one possibility. Mrs. Godfrey got all her sources from Josephine, and they worked together to put on a good show. Meanwhile, Everleigh became the victim.

Moreover, Theodore would never believe that his mother and his fiancee were putting on a show.

After connecting the dots, a chill ran down Everleigh's spine. Mrs. Godfrey and Josephine were toying with Everleigh.

Christopher's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I told you that many people were involved in that incident, especially those who are close to you. Well, don't trust anyone in Ocpeace City."

Everleigh clenched her fists and replied, "Okay." "What are you going to do? If it doesn't work, you don't have to return to the hospital. I'll help you next month when I go back to Ocpeace City."

"There's no need for that." Everleigh's eyes were glowing, and she continued, "I'll just act accordingly. Besides, I can't just sit around and watch. I think Josephine is hiding something, so she wants me to leave Ocpeace City."

Was Josephine involved in the incident seven years ago? Did she cooperate with Mrs. Godfrey to frame Everleigh? Everything seemed a little clearer.

Everleigh was never a pushover. Seven years ago, she left Ocpeace City, but she was not trying to escape. She had no choice because she wanted to give birth to the twins. She never forgot that she would make those people pay.

Christopher knew that Everleigh would not listen to him. Hence he warned, "You must be careful. If you're in danger, don't act rashly. I'll go back soon."

Everleigh hummed in response.

After hanging up the call, Everleigh's heart was pounding.

When she was abroad for seven years, she paid attention to what was happening in Ocpeace City. However, things were peaceful because she left. For the past few years, Josephine became Theodore's fiancee, but that was it.

Yet, Everleigh knew that it was impossible to overlook the incident seven years ago. If she returned to Ocpeace City, those people would not sit still and watch. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sure enough, things were starting to happen.

It was afternoon, and the sun was scorching.

Gerbera Residence was famous in the suburb of Ocpeace City. It was so quiet that one could hear birds chirping on the trees.

Gerbera Residence was over thirty acres in size. On the second floor, the black curtains were drawn in the master bedroom. The room was dim, and it looked like it was in the middle of the night.

There was a loud crash, and porcelain shattered in the bedroom. Immediately, a man's voice snapped coldly, "Are you trying to scald me?"

The caregiver instantly begged on her knees, "Mr. Xavier, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

"Mr. Xavier."

"Go away."

The command was fueled with rage, and the room fell into silence.

A few moments later, the caregiver was crying as she slumped out of the room. She was young, and she could not take it. When she came out, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she ran into Lucas, the butler of the villa.

"That's enough. Stop crying. Go and claim a two-month salary from the treasury. You don't have to come again."

After that, Lucas glanced at the bedroom and asked his assistant, "How many does that make this month?"

The assistant replied helplessly, "Three."

It was still the middle of the month, but they had already changed three caregivers.
