Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 552

Everleigh knew that she was safe, but Cecil seldom cried unless she was petrified.

It was unfortunate that they were abroad, or else they could have arrived faster.

Theodore and Everleigh arrived in time.

The last flight had yet to take off.

In the meantime, at a hospital abroad, Felicia was the first to come to as she opened her eyes to check how Lenold was faring.

The nurse asked her not to move. After all, she was injured as well.

However, Felicia wouldn't hear of it. She wouldn't feel relieved until she saw Lenold with her own eyes.

"Felicia, don't be nervous. Lenold is out of the woods." Cecil came in from the door and informed her softly.

Seeing Cecil walk in with her face covered in dust and her clothes dirty, she asked, "Cecil, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. The most severely injured one is Alexander." When Cecil mentioned him, her eyes dimmed a little.

If Alexander hadn't arrived on time, they would have probably been killed in the explosions.

Felicia was stunned when she heard about Alexander.

When had he arrived?

Cecil understood that Felicia was confused at the moment as she had not witnessed what happened, and it was expected that she didn't know who had saved her.

The two sat down, and Cecil filled her in on what had happened. Only then did Felicia have a grasp of what had transpired.

"I'd like to thank Alexander."

"Felicia, I wanted to thank you. If it wasn't for you, Lenold would have died long ago, and it caused you to be caught by Diana." Cecil was apologetic. If something atrocious had happened, she would never be able to explain it to the Meyer family.

Felicia smiled lightly and said, "You don't need to apologize for this. My family knows my personality. Since I've made my decision, I won't regret it. But... You haven't informed the Meyer family, have you?"

"No. The Jenkins family have arrived, and what's more important is that Everleigh is here as well. After all, I will feel much more at ease with her around," Cecil explained.

Thinking of the scene that had taken place, she couldn't fight back her tears anymore.

Alexander's unflinching expression had made her very touched.

It was said that many lovers would make a decision at the moment of life and death, and between the two, they had already seen the choices they made. Alexander had done it for his beloved.

The moment he'd rushed in to save Felicia, Cecil had known what she herself meant to him.

"Cecil, you and Alexander..." Felicia asked tentatively.

"Everleigh told me that he likes me. I didn't pay much attention to it, but after what happened... I think I know what kind of person I should be looking for," Cecil said, and her tone left no room for arguments. How could she be unhappy if a man was willing to risk his life for her?

Felicia couldn't help but smile. Seeing her like this, she was relieved. It was the greatest happiness in one's life to find a person who really belonged to them.

"I want to see Alexander."

"I'll go with you. The Jenkins family have also arrived, and it's not appropriate for me to pop in there alone." Cecil didn't know how to face Missha. Everyone attested to her calm and gentle personality, but if she knew that her nephew was injured because of her, she reckoned that Missha would be less than thrilled about it.

Lenold had regained consciousness, albeit from the pain. The bandage tied to his waist by Cecil earlier had tightened his wound so much that he had lost more blood. That was why he had fainted.

"Cecil, Felicia."

"Lenold." Felicia walked over and grabbed his hand. It was really good to be able to look into his eyes. She thought that she would not see him again.

There was a hint of joy deep in his eyes. "It's so good to be able to see you again."

Felicia burst into tears and clutched his hands tighter. She might be an elite in the business world, but she was very fragile in terms of feelings.

She couldn't imagine what she would do if something had happened to him.

Cecil watched them and knew that her presence was redundant there. She turned and went to Alexander's ward to have a look.

Before she walked in, she saw both Missha and Cynthia in the room, watching the doctor examine

Alexander.

His eyes were closed, and his face was covered with wounds. When Cecil saw him, tears rolled down her cheeks quietly. She didn't have the courage to go in.

When Everleigh and Theodore arrived, it was already the afternoon of the next day. They hurried to the hospital, and Cecil came to pick them up at the entrance.

"Cecil, where is Alexander?"

"He's in the ward. I don't know if he has woken up yet," she explained.

Everleigh glanced at Cecil's soiled clothes and more or less guessed what had happened.

"I'll go see Alexander first and visit Lenold later."

"Mm."

Everleigh followed Cecil to the ward. At that time, Alexander had woken up, but his ribs were too painful for him to move. He could only lie down.

Missha was looking after him.

"Alexander." Everleigh walked in and called out.

He turned his head and took a look at Cecil's red and swollen eyes. She lowered her head as if she didn't dare to come in. He chuckled and said, "Cecil, why don't you come in? I've woken up. Why won't you look at me?"

Theodore came back to his senses and looked at Cecil, who was leaning against the door. Upon hearing his words, she didn't know how to react.

"Earlier you were still asleep, so I didn't come over." She rubbed her hands awkwardly, feeling even more nervous as she walked in.

Everleigh and Theodore stood by the side, watching as Cecil walked over.

Alexander reached out and held her hand. "Why didn't you rest? Look at your eyes; they're so swollen."

Everleigh and Theodore looked at each other and listened to their conversation. It was really awkward for them.

Perhaps, it was inconvenient for them to be there.

"Aunt Missha."

Missha looked up and asked, "Yes, Everleigh?"

"Let's go find the doctor and ask about Alexander's condition."

Ever the observant soul, Missha glanced at them, nodded, and went to look for the attending doctor with Everleigh.

As the three of them walked away, Missha turned to look at Theodore. "I've long heard that the former CEO of the Godfrey family has great potential. It looks like I've had the honor of seeing him in action today." "Aunt Missha, you're overpraising me," Theodore replied in a gentle tone.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to glance at him.

He didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. He allowed her to analyze him to her heart's content.

Missha withdrew her gaze, and mixed emotions washed over her. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Aunt Missha, what's with you?"

"I'm just thinking about my niece being oh- so-perfect, but how did she end up with a man like him. The rumors about Mr. Godfrey and the daughter of the Bailey family have been spreading. Even I had heard a lot when I was abroad."

"You have to take the rumors with a grain of salt and see with your own eyes. Aunt Missha, would such a smart person like you be hung up on the past?" Theodore said clearly word by word. He didn't feel embarrassed by her words at all.

Everyone had a past. Although his was none too favorable, he had turned over a new leaf.

At the very least, his feelings for Everleigh had never changed.
