Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 194

Along the way, Theodore said nothing. In the car, he and Everleigh sat in the back seat and there was a wide aisle between them, which made her feel like there was a safe distance. She originally wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness, but when she saw Theodore had his eyes closed and was leaning against the back of the seat, she remained silent.

The scenery outside the window quickly receded. Everleigh looked at the scenery and her eyelids gradually became heavier.

She felt like someone had covered her with a blanket in a daze, but she was so sleepy that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. In fact, she didn't sleep well the previous night.

Theodore turned up the heat and instructed the driver, "Drive a little slower."

"Yes." The driver took a look in the rearview mirror and saw the figure of Everleigh. She was sleeping with a black suit jacket over her body. He was stunned for a moment and quickly averted his gaze.

It took more than two hours to drive from Swallow Manor to the city hospital. It was past 10 o'clock when they arrived. People came and went at the gate of the hospital, and the car stopped there.

"Have we arrived?" Everleigh opened her eyes and looked out of the window sleepily. She didn't pay attention when she raised her hand and something slipped from her body. When she looked down, she saw that it was a suit jacket and was stunned.

"We've arrived."

Theodore's voice pulled her back from her thoughts. She quickly picked up the jacket, patted the dust off it and handed it over. "Thank you."

"I don't like to hear you say that."

Everleigh was stunned again, and the jacket was taken out of her hands.

After getting out of the car, she watched as the car drove away from the entrance of the hospital. Her ears were still reverberating with Theodore's words when she got out of the car just now. 'Til come pick you up tonight."

The door was closed too quickly for her to react in time. She had forgotten to ask why.

What did he mean by "I'll come pick you up tonight?"

The car drove away from the entrance of the city hospital. Theodore's phone had been vibrating non-stop. He glanced at the caller ID before pressing the "decline" button. He instructed the driver, "Go to the company."

In the office, Everleigh changed into a white coat and called Cecil with the landline. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

The call soon connected.

"Hello?"

"It's me. Where are you?"

Cecil's voice came from the other end of the line with an obvious teasing undertone, "Hey, are you awake?"

Hearing this, Everleigh knew that Cecil must have known what happened the previous night. She immediately asked, "What happened last night?"

"Didn't Theodore tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"I knew it." Everleigh could imagine Cecil's scornful face on the other side of the phone. "He wouldn't dare to tell you that his own exgirlfriend was framed at his own banquet and almost made a fool of herself in public. No one would dare to say such a thing."

Everleigh's expression became serious at once, and she said, "Tell me clearly. What

happened?"

"Don't worry, it didn't cause any bad consequences. Fortunately, I was there. I helped you test the waters of the Godfrey family. As I expected, it's very dirty..."

Cecil told Everleigh about what happened at the banquet the night before in detail.

On the other end of the line, Everleigh's hand, which was holding the phone, was trembling slightly. The more she listened, the colder her hands and feet became.

"She has such a dirty way of doing things. She even dared to send you to Leon's bed. I thought she was a kind and pure person, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel."

"You mean Josephine did it?"

"Who else could it be if not her? Who knew you at the banquet last night? You're just a staff member. There are only two people who don't like you. One is Theodore's mother, but even if she doesn't like you and wants you to leave her son, she wouldn't involve Leon. After all, he's her nephew. She's the one who lost face because of what happened."

Madison didn't do it, so there was only one person left.

May it be benefits or motive. All the clues directed at Josephine.

Everleigh clenched her fists and gradually regained her calmness when she heard Cecil's voice. "She is indeed desperate."

"It's a pity that there is no evidence. Otherwise, I would have sent her to the police station by now."

"Is there no evidence at all?"

"No," Cecil said with confidence. "The surveillance footage from the banquet is gone. When Leon and you were drugged, it was done very cleanly. There was no trace at all. It seems that they made a careful arrangement and were waiting for you to take the bait."

Hearing this, Everleigh's face turned slightly green.

This wasn't the first time that Josephine had done this kind of thing behind her back. If this trap succeeded, her reputation would have been ruined and she would lose all her paths into the Godfrey family.

In order to protect Theodore and her engagement, Josephine really did everything she could.

"It's impossible that there's no trace at all," Everleigh said in a low voice and a calm tone. "As long as she did it, there must be some traces left behind."

"Didn't Theodore tell you anything?"

At the mention of 'Theodore', Everleigh froze for a moment. She recalled what he had asked her during breakfast and suddenly thought of something. "He asked me what happened before I fainted."

Yes, the waitress.

"Cecil, there was a waitress and I was with her before I fell unconscious. There must be something wrong with her. As long as I can get the staff list of yesterday's banquet, I can go through it one by one. I remember what she looks like."

"That's right. This is a direction."

"And about Leon, what's the matter with him?"

Everleigh had no vivid impression of Leon at all. Except that when the banquet began, Cecil hit him in the face with a cake. She did not remember seeing him again later.

"Him? Who knows what's wrong with him," Cecil suddenly threw out a sentence and continued, "Didn't you say that it was a waitress? It's most likely that he was possessed by her and was seduced by a goddess."

Hearing this, Everleigh thought it funny. Thinking of Cecil's attitude towards Leon the night before, she thought that it was impossible for her to ask about him, so she gave up on the idea.

There were still things to be done in the hospital. Everleigh couldn't talk for too long, so she remarked that they would talk about it later.

"Your cell phone and bag are with me. I'll send them to the hospital later."

"Okay."

When she hung up the phone, an intern knocked on the door and came in to deliver the medical reports. Everleigh had no time to think about it, so she took the reports and took him to do rounds in the wards.

On the other end of the line, in C.H. Jewelry, Cecil leaned against the jewelry counter. As soon as she put down the mobile phone, she heard a familiar voice behind her say, "I didn't know that you

saw me as such a lascivious man."

The man's voice was magnetic and carried a hint of inattentiveness.

Cecil immediately turned around and saw Leon leaning against the counter, looking at her with a smile. He was in a casual, light blue suit. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a thin and straight figure. She didn't know how long he had been standing behind her.

It had to be said that Leon's face was outstanding, even among the popular male celebrities. His smile could attract a lot of young girls.

However, his smile made Cecil immediately angry. She said angrily, "When did you arrive? Who asked you to come?"
