Chapter 155
Chapter 155
Many relationships come to an end on good terms, and reminiscing the past was nice. As to why they finally came to an end, Theodore still couldn't comprehend the reason, but Everleigh understood.
The next morning, Theodore was woken up by the knock on his door.
"Mr. Godfrey," Moses said as he came in with a serving tray and closed the door. "I guess you're pretty much awake. Have some breakfast," he continued.
Moses put the tray down on the tea table and went to the bedside to help Theodore up. He did it carefully, trying hard not to disturb his wound. "Mr. Godfrey, before Dr. Trevino left, she instructed that your wound should not come in contact with water. You have to change the bandages every two days and you must be on a bland diet," he said.
At the mention of Everleigh, Theodore's eyes darkened a little. His gaze fell on the couch where she sat last night, both intentionally and unintentionally. "When did she leave?"
"She left around five o'clock in the morning," Moses said. He held Theodore to the couch.
"Dr. Trevino also bought the breakfast."
Theodore's gaze landed on the coffee table. The oatmeal and side dishes were served on the tray, along with a hard- boiled egg that already had the shell peeled. He didn't know whether it was Moses or Everleigh who peeled it.
Moses's voice came from the side, "Mr. Godfrey, the police have never come to ask. It seems that they have been held back by the chairman."
The word "chairman" came to Theodore's ears, calling his conscience awake.
It had been many years since Wilson left the Godfrey Group, but his position as the shareholder remained. Everyone, whether they knew him or not, addressed him as the chairman. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Moses said carefully, "Do you want to give the chairman a call? If there is a miscommunication, it wouldn't be good."
Theodore's expression darkened a little and he said, "If I explain in detail, it will only make things worse."
Not to mention this incident was far more complicated than expected.
"The main concern is that no one would have ever thought that Mrs. Godfrey was the one who assigned someone to kidnap Hansen." Moses frowned, continuing, "This case is confusing. If we don't explain it clearly, there will definitely be a misunderstanding on the chairman's side."
"Let it go. Even the mastermind is calm, so what's there for you to worry about?" Theodore said. He held the bowl of oatmeal, picked up some side dishes and slowly enjoyed his breakfast. He seemed like he didn't care about the kidnapping case at all.
Moses was flabbergasted.
How could he not worry? If the case was investigated thoroughly, Theodore could not escape from getting involved in it.
"Mr. Godfrey, I have to head back to the company now. Send me the documents that need to be signed later," Moses said.
After the kidnapping case, Theodore was injured, so he worked from home to handle the documents. He also refused to attend any dinners or events. He used the excuse that he was not in the pink of health and needed to rest for a period of time.
Theodore replied with a grunt and listened to the sound of the bedroom door being closed gently. In the silence, he looked down at the side dishes on the plate slowly, and his gaze gradually became more profound.
There were reasons behind his uneasiness. In fact, whether one's feelings were true or not, was something that could be felt.
In the conference room of the city hospital, the medical staff who volunteered to join the countryside medical team had just attended the meeting. Everleigh came out of the conference room with the conference documents. The elevator was packed, thus she was unable to enter.
"You go first. Let's wait for the people downstairs," Christopher and Everleigh said. They took the initiative to step out and let the other doctors and nurses go first.
While waiting for the next elevator, Christopher asked Everleigh, "Why did you say that you wanted to postpone going to the countryside with Dr. Carter just now? Don't you want to go there?"
Everleigh replied, "No, there's something that I need to delay for a few days. I just can't go with the medical team. Hasn't the event been promoted several days ago? I will arrive before the official medical event."
"Alright." Christopher raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you didn't want to go."
"No." Everleigh hesitated for a while and then confessed, "Theodore was injured."
Christopher glanced at her in surprise.
Just as the elevator arrived, the door of the elevator opened slowly in front of them with a "ding" sound. There were hospital staff members and patients in it, thus the topic of the two could only come to an abrupt end.
They were silent all the way. When they got out of the elevator and avoided their colleagues, Christopher asked her, "What does his injury have to do with you?"
"He was injured on the beach last Saturday," Everleigh said.
Christopher frowned, "So you plan to stay in Ocpeace City and take care of him?"
Everleigh did not deny it.
The duo had almost arrived at the door of Everleigh's office where they saw a familiar figure waiting there. Christopher frowned even more.
"Dr. Trevino, Dr. Meyer." Moses had apparently been waiting here for a long time.
Everleigh glanced at Christopher and said to Moses, "Wait a minute."
She went into the office. After a while, she came out with a medical plastic bag which had the logo of the city hospital printed on it, then handed it to Moses. "The instructions are all in there. Follow the instructions and take the medicine," Everleigh said.
"Okay. Thank you, Dr. Trevino," Moses expressed his gratitude. Before he left, he nodded to Christopher as a form of greeting; it seemed like he wanted to say something. Since Christopher was there, he held back the words he wanted to say.
Looking at Moses' back, Christopher raised his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Everleigh said, "I asked him to come over. Theodore needs to change his bandages but he refuses to come to the hospital. The only other option is to call Moses and get him to get the medicine from the hospital and bring them back."
"He's refusing to come to the hospital?" Christopher asked thoughtfully.
"That's right. The internal situation of the Godfrey family is too confusing. What happened last Saturday has a lot to do with it. That's why he doesn't want to cause any other trouble. He would rather take care of himself at home and he is not willing to let more people know why he appeared that day," she explained.
"I'm afraid that this will backfire, right?" Christopher said.
"What do you mean?" Everleigh asked.
"Wilson is suspicious of Theodore," he answered.
Everleigh glanced in the direction in which Moses left and said thoughtfully, "I thought so previously, but do you know, the police never looked for Theodore. Also, Wilson knew that Theodore was on the beach that day."
When the police arrived, Hansen was in Theodore's car. A complete registration plate was attached to the car and it was registered under the Road Transport Department. The investigation would reveal the truth. Although Wilson appeared indifferent to his son, it could be seen from the conversation that day that he was also investigating the relationship between Theodore and this case.
After thinking for a moment, Christopher said, "It's enough for you to add fuel to the fire. You don't need to commit the crime."
The suspicion and deception of the Godfrey family had existed for a long time. Everyone was lying. It was impossible for Madison to admit that she assigned people to kidnap Hansen, and she would certainly find ways to stop the police from investigating. Based on these reasons, the truth would never be found out.
Yvonne was determined that Madison's goal was Hansen. Even if Wilson was calm and rational enough, he must be exhausted to mediate between the two women and two families.
In the end, among the trio, the only issue that could not be resolved was, why was Theodore involved in this kidnapping case as a savior?
But, it didn't matter. As long as the contradiction between Yvonne and Madison intensified, the kidnapping case would turn into a trigger. Meanwhile, everything else was not important. What was important was that if Yvonne wanted to take advantage of the situation, if she wanted to?
Everleigh asked, "What do you think Yvonne wants?"
Christopher glanced at her. "Approval from the Godfrey family."
What Yvonne wanted was approval from the Godfrey family.
