Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Elvir listened to her words and laughed, the wrinkles on his face crinkling.

The relaxed expression in his eyes showed that he had concurred with her words.

Everleigh grinned and said, “Mr. Carter, previously I was so angry that I asked some questions that I should not ask. I’m sorry. You can take this and keep it. I don’t know where the man is now, and I don’t know if he is still alive. However, this is also my only wish.”

He nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”

“I’ll transfer the money to your account later. Change your clothes. You’re a private detective, after all. Don’t lead people into assuming that you just got out of jail.”

He was once again judged by her, but he did not take her words to heart. The places he went were far-off. If he was to dress nicely, he would be bound to attract unnecessary attention.

This was the reason why he put on such clothes.

“I accept the money. As you said, no one would help me if I don’t have any money. As for the man I’m looking for, I will investigate him and find him. However, Miss Trevino, if I can’t find him…”

“I won’t blame you if you can’t find him. It’s been so many years, and many clues have been lost. I understand that.” She understood what he meant. He was afraid that he would botch his investigation and she would blame evrerything on Saniogo.

She was not as cruel as he assumed.

Hearing this, he was completely at ease. He took the envelope and was about to walk out. However, before he went out, she stopped him and said, “Wait, Mr. Carter, I have one more thing to ask you for help.”

“What?” Elvir stopped in his tracks and looked at her in confusion.

“I want you to find someone for me. Her name is Diana Hayes.”

He raised his eyebrows. “Diana Hayes?”

Wasn’t she a member of the Hayes family?

He had seen the news before, but it was all about the Hayes family and nothing to do with Everleigh.

“I do have a few men around, but why do you need to do a thorough investigation on Diana?”

“The first reason is that the eldest daughter of the Hayes family has a good relationship with me. Secondly, Diana almost kill my cousin. What do you think, has it got anything to do with me?” Everleigh’s tone was cold, and these two reasons were irrefutable.

One was for her friend, and the other was for her family. These two were important to her.

Elvir hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ll send you a number later. This person and I, we are sworn enemies, but his investigation skills are excellent. I believe he can help you.”

She was bemused. His sworn enemy would help her. How could it be possible?

“Are you sure?”

“Don’t worry, he will do it well.” His confidence seemed to come out of nowhere.

She looked at his confident expression and comforted herself as she thought, ‘Anyway, since he said so, let’s just look for him.’

It didn’t take long before he sent her the number. Everleigh dialed this number, but no one answered. After thinking about it, she went to attend to her own business.

When Christopher came over, he saw that she had finished her rounds.

She laid her head on the table to rest.

The night before, Everleigh had been exhausted from looking after Xavier throughout the night. Now that she had a breather, she couldn’t help but want to take a nap.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

A day had passed. When she was about to visit Xavier, a nurse came over and said, “Dr. Trevino, please go check on Mr. Godfrey quickly.”

With a flustered expression, Everleigh leapt to her feet and almost ran towards Xavier’s ward.

Before she went in, she heard Madison crying loudly, which was really annoying.

Everleigh took a deep breath and strode in.

“Dr. Harrison.”

“Everleigh, take a look at this,” said Maxwell as he pointed at the equipment on one side. It was obvious that Xavier’s heartbeat had sped up significantly.

If it continued, he might die sooner or later.

Before Everleigh could speak, Madison grabbed her by the collar and stared at her with resentment. “It’s all your fault. You gave him some new medicine. You killed my son.”

Everleigh was not in the mood to pick fight with her. She looked at the nurse beside her and said, “Take her out first. I want to carry out first aid.”

The nurse knew that she was in a hurry to save Xavier. Regardless of whether Madison was happy or not, she pushed her out of the ward.

Everleigh and Maxwell were undergoing first aid, but Xavier was already unconscious. If this went on, his heart would stop.

“Everleigh, how many doses did you give him?”

“It’s the same as his usual medication, but I added a lot of raw materials. Yesterday he said that his limbs were weak and aching,” she explained.

Maxwell nodded and asked the nurse to bring the beta-blockers. He could only be injected with the medicine as he wasn’t in the condition for a surgery.

Everleigh had lost all her confidence. She might have forgotten that Xavier’s heart had been too weak to take in too much medicine.

“Let’s wait,” she sighed helplessly. All she could do was wait.

After an hour, Xavier’s heart rate was restored to normal and the seizure went away. When Maxwell saw that the data was alright, he was relieved. “Your new medicine can be used, but you need to reduce the dosage.”

“I don’t even want to use it anymore.”

“Use it. The blockages in his heart have been cleared a lot, but the side effects of your medicine are strong.”

Everleigh was stunned; she had not paid attention to the situation in his heart.

She thought that there had been no reaction at all.

When the door of the ward opened, Theodore walked in. He’d heard the news.

“Everleigh, how is it?”

“He’s out of the woods now. It’s just that I gave him too much medicine.” After Everleigh finished her sentence, Madison hissed, “You were trying to kill him!”

“Think what you want to, I’m not interested in debating with you.” After saying that, she left. She was going to reduce the dosage.

Theodore ignored Madison and followed Everleigh. As for Madison, she could do whatever she wanted.

She wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by the nurse who was disgusted with Everleigh. After such a long time, she still didn’t know self-restraint at all.

She didn’t know what to say.

Theodore asked, “What’s the situation now?”

Everleigh looked at him with guilt in her eyes as she said, “I’ve used too much of the medicine. Now, I’m going to reset the dosage. His heart is too fragile. I’m sorry, Theodore. I almost killed him.”

He shook his head and comforted her, “This isn’t your fault. I understand that a doctor can’t save everyone. I also know how much you want to save Xavier. Everleigh, you don’t have to blame yourself. If he dies, the only thing I can say is that it’s his fate.”

She looked down and said with a bitter smile, “When did you start to believe in fate?”

“The moment we met again; that’s when I believed in fate,” he said in a cold tone, as if the words he said were not in line with his identity.
