Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 234

The next morning, as they rounded the wards.

"Helen, your blood pressure today is a little high. You have to pay more attention to your diet."

In the VIP ward, Everleigh put away the blood pressure monitor. The nurse next to her packed the things up. Following Everleigh's instructions, she took the newly extracted blood to the lab.

Helen leaned against the bedframe and looked at Everleigh with a kind expression. "I didn't sleep well last night and had a nightmare. Does it have anything to do with this?"

"It's possible." Everleigh poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "Have you been in a bad mood lately?"

Helen took the cup of water and said, "It's not a big deal. Ifs just that I feel tired these days. I feel like there's something pressing on my chest and I can't catch my breath all that well."

"Really?" Everleigh frowned. "How long has this been? Ill check it out later."

"It only happened recently. Everleigh, why haven't you been around as much over the past two days?"

While they were talking, Helen took her hand and had her sit down by the bed.

Everleigh averted her gaze, and she said vaguely, "The clinic's been busy recently. Are you not feeling well?"

"When people get older, they'll always feel unwell eventually. The only thing keeping their spirits up is seeing the younger generation happy."

Helen patted the back of Everleigh's hand and said, "Everleigh, tell me, did Theodore make you unhappy?"

She immediately denied it, "No, don't think too much. What's there to be unhappy about with him?"

"Don't lie to me. That b*stard is really brainless. He's terrible at sweet talk and he doesn't know how to speak to girls. If it wasn't for the estate of the Godfrey family that he inherited, he would be no different from a fool."

"I don't think so," Everleigh felt it was too exaggerated and defended him, "If the teacher of the foreign language school at the university heard what you said, he would be very angry. Theodore was a top student in the foreign language department at that time." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"What's the point of that? He still gave up halfway and went home to inherit the family business."

Judging from Helen's tone, she didn't seem to think highly of Theodore's decision. Everleigh asked hesitantly, "Didn't you want him to go home and inherit the family business?"

"It's not that I don't want him to. It's just that people should do what they like to do. He doesn't have the ambition, so it's too hard for him to forcefully take that position."

"Then how did he..."

"That year, Xavier had a car accident." Speaking of this, Helen sighed. "In fact, Xavier's leg can't be fixed. The doctor said that it was not a problem for him if he slowly did physical therapy, but Theodore's mother wanted him to come home. She has a strong personality and I didn't want to upset her further after the huge emotional blow she received, so I went along with it."

"Was Theodore okay with it?"

"I've asked him, but he didn't object. He was in low spirits during that time and I'm not sure if he'd met with any difficulties in his work. In any case, it was he who gave up on the path of being a diplomat."

When Everleigh heard the phrase, "low spirits" her heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists tightly.

When Theodore went back to the Godfrey Group, it was not long after she left Ocpeace City seven years ago. She remembered very clearly that at that time that he had been working in the capital and he was very appreciated by his superiors. By right, he could successfully be a diplomat.

Hence, she didn't dare think too much about why he gave up halfway.

"Everleigh," Helen's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

She came to her senses and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'm not angry with him. It's just that I've been a little busy these recently, so I haven't visited as much."

Looking at her firm expression, Helen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I asked him to send us to the Thanksgiving Festival over at Adrienne's school. You wouldn't mind, right?"

This was Helen's actual point.

Thus, Everleigh felt a little helpless, but she still nodded and said, "I don't mind. According to the rules of the hospital, your family should accompany you if you leave the hospital."

"Thafs good." Helen smiled immediately. "I know that you are kind and tolerant. You won't argue with others. If he makes you angry in the future, you can tell me directly and I will teach him a lesson for you."

Everleigh forced a smile and said nothing more.

The kids' performance was on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, Everleigh's surgery took up a lot of time and she hurried to the school right after. Fortunately, there weren't any traffic jams, and there was still 20 minutes before the show when she arrived.

"Everleigh, over here," Christopher's figure could be seen from afar. He waved at her amidst the crowd.

Then, Everleigh went straight through the door.

"Why haven't you found a seat?"

"Do we still need to?" Christopher raised his chin towards the back. There was a trace of mirth in his shapely eyes. "They've occupied so many of the seats. Are they afraid that we'll run away or something?"

Following Christopher's direction, Everleigh glanced at the third row of figures in the middle of the auditorium before she was astonished at the sight.

She knew very early on that Helen and Theodore were coming. Hansen was also in the play, so she knew that Yvonne would come. However, she didn't expect Wilson to be there as well. Furthermore, these four people were sitting in the same row.

Hell truly must have frozen over. Since Wilson was expelled from the Godfrey family by Helen twenty years ago, they had not interacted during this time, and no one had ever seen them together on the same occasion.

Then, Christopher leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I wouldn't have sat down if you hadn't come. I'm afraid that a fight will break out."

Everleigh elbowed him and said, "All of them are well-educated people, so who's going to start the fight? Old Madam Helen?"

"That may not be true." Christopher raised his eyebrows. "I didn't witness the fight between Yvonne and Madison, but it makes me feel terrible when I think about it."

"Shut up."

As the two of them were whispering to each other, Theodore's face had already turned as cold as a piece of ice in the row of seats in the distance. His expression was extremely grim.

Then, Helen glanced at him and said, "What's the use of being angry on the inside? Don't make that face. The more you do it, the more you put people off."

After that scolding, Theodore frowned and didn't retort, but it was really difficult to improve his expression.

Helen stood up and waved to Everleigh in the distance across the seats. She was very enthusiastic and said, "Everleigh, I have reserved a seat for you here. Come quickly, the play is about to start."

Seeing this, Everleigh hurriedly replied, "Grandma, I'll come over now. Please have a seat first."

After that, she took Christopher's hand and warned him as they walked, "Don't talk nonsense later. The situation is already messy enough."

He curled his lip in disdain. "Even if I don't say anything, they are already messed up."

As she walked up to Helen's side, Everleigh was about to sit down when Helen suddenly stood up and changed seats. "Everleigh, you sit here."

Looking at the empty seat between Helen and Theodore, Everleigh's forced smile stiffened.

The atmosphere suddenly became very

awkward.
