Hearing his words, Missha's expression changed a little. She looked at Everleigh and asked, "What do you like about him?"
"Ah... I was lied to when I was young and ignorant. Now that I have children, I have to deal with him for their sake." Everleigh sighed with emotion.
She didn't know what she saw in Theodore to make her like him.
Missha listened to her words and couldn't help but erupt with laughter. "Oh dear, I know that you won't let him go easily. Well, he's handsome and looks similar to Alastair."
"Now, are you satisfied with what you've seen?" Everleigh nodded and asked.
Missha rolled her eyes at her. "If you're satisfied with him, what else can I say? I've dealt with it before. Let's go. I'll take you to the doctor."
Theodore followed behind, shaking his head helplessly. He knew that Missha was here to tease him.
The three of them came to the attending doctor's office. Everleigh had been in this hospital for her internship in the past. "Dr. Trevino, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Long time no see, Dr. Desen. I'm here because my cousin was admitted to the hospital. I want to know more about his condition."
"Alexander Jenkins?" Dr. Dessen didn't know him, but he was no stranger to Missha, as she had asked about Alexander's situation many times.
"There's nothing wrong with his head. The only problem is his bones. His sternum is cracked, and several of his ribs are broken. He needs to rest well."
Dr. Desen took out Alexander's x- ray and presented it to Everleigh.
She was not familiar with orthopedics, but she could still tell that Alexander's injuries were not very severe and that he would recover well as long as he rested.
"I'm much obliged, Dr. Desen."
"You're too courteous. I learned all of this from you." A smile was on Dr. Desen's face, and he spoke in a joking tone.
After making sure that he was really okay, she wanted to call Saniogo to update him on Alexander's situation and spare him from concerns.
"Everleigh, you'd better not call Saniogo. I didn't tell him about Alexander's situation. He's getting old too. If anything really happens to Alexander, it's not too late for me to call him again." Missha took Everleigh's hand and didn't want her to make this call.
Such action made Theodore frown, and his expression went cold. He couldn't understand the reason behind Missha's request. The situation shouldn't be like this. Alexander had almost lost his life; why shouldn't they inform Saniogo about it? Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Everleigh did not think too much and thought that Missha was doing this out of kindness.
Fortunately, there was nothing serious to worry about, so she could talk about it later.
"Aunt Missha, you can head back first. I'll go and visit Lenold."
"Okay." Missha knew that Cecil had a good relationship with Lenold, so it was reasonable for her to visit him.
Theodore and Everleigh went to Lenold's ward. Theodore asked in a deep voice, "Everleigh, your aunt..."
"What's with my aunt?"
He opened his mouth and thought for a moment before saying, "Nothing. Let's go."
He was puzzled by his words.
He felt that he was thinking too much, but he saw the expression in her eyes. He just didn't know what to say.
She didn't linger on the thought. When they entered Lenold's ward, Felicia was tending to him.
"Everleigh, you're here."
"Yeah, such a big thing has happened and we are all worried to death." Everleigh looked at Lenold who still managed to laugh. He probably thought that his dream had come true now.
Felicia poured water for the two of them.
"Everleigh, did you talk about me with the Meyer family?"
Everleigh accepted the glass of water and said with a smile, "Don't worry. They all know you're here for Lenold. I didn't say anything else. Besides, you're fine now, so there's no need for them to worry about you."
Felicia nodded. This was what she intended. She'd left without a single notice. Although they didn't keep in contact with each other, she knew that it was to respect her. However, now that there was danger, she didn't want them to worry.
Lenold glanced at Theodore. Upon hearing that there had been a search for him where Theodore offered help as well, he said, "Mr. Godfrey, thank you." "You're welcome," Theodore said indifferently. If it wasn't for Everleigh, he wouldn't have helped either.
"It's good that nothing serious happened. Have you contacted the authorities?" Everleigh asked.
They shouldn't let them assume he was dead. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to handle.
Lenold sighed and said, "Not yet. My injury is a bit serious, and I don't have a phone with me, so I've put it off for the time being."
Everleigh glanced at Felicia. She seemed to have something she wanted to say.
She understood her very well. As a woman, what she needed most was a sense of security. She felt a sense of security from Lenold, but he would often embark on missions and put his life in danger. Any woman would not be able to accept it.
The two chatted with each other here. When Cecil came over, her eyes were red. Everleigh and Felicia saw her and couldn't help but ask, "Cecil, why are you crying? Is Alexander..."
She quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's Cynthia. She hit and blamed mewhen she arrived, saying that I brought harm to Alexander. I know I'm in the wrong, so I don't want to argue with her."
When Everleigh heard 'Cynthia', she frowned.
Cynthia's personality was what it seemed to be. She always thought that everyone on the planet was beholden to her.
"Don't pay attention to her. Cynthia didn't like me. That's why she put the blame on you."
Cecil nodded. She was no pushover. On one hand, she felt guilty for Alexander, but on the other, she felt that she was in the wrong.
She also had to take responsibility.
Felicia patted her on the shoulder.
"Felicia, worry not. When you become a member of our family in the future, I, for one, won't make things difficult for you. The conflicts between inlaws will be non- existent in the Hayes family." Cecil turned her head and blurted those words without thinking.
She was nothing like Cynthia. Through this matter, she had witnessed Felicia's affection for Lenold. If anyone dared to break them up, Cecil would be the first to protect them.
Everleigh really didn't know whether to laugh or cry; which part of a play was this?
She couldn't bear to see all her sisters-in-law get into trouble just because of Cynthia.
Besides, Cecil was with Alexander, so she would also consider her as her sister-in-law.
That would mean...
Thinking of this, Everleigh turned her eyes, stretched out her hands, and said sincerely, "Cecil, calm down. If you marry Alexander, the discord between in-laws will not appear. I will take good care of you."
Hearing this, all the blood rushed to Cecil's face.
"Everleigh..."
Lenold felt beatific when he saw Cecil being shy.
He had heard of Alexander, who was upright.
He was also meticulous in his work.
There was no scandal whatsoever. He was the ideal type to be with.
Theodore looked at the expression on Everleigh's face, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
There were no issues with in-laws at home, so she didn't have to worry about it.
"You know, it's no big deal. Although Cynthia is unfriendly to you, as long as I'm kind to you, nothing else matters. Don't worry, we are sisters. I will definitely see to it that Alexander treats you well," Everleigh continued to tease her.
Cecil was really speechless.
Felicia laughed along. In fact, it was good to have a sister-in-law like her.
In the past, she did not have much impression of Cecil at the banquet, but now, she could tell that she was also a loyal person.
