Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 62

"Dad, the truth is... I..."

Everleigh was very nervous, and she did not know how to explain herself. If she confessed, her father would be disappointed with her. She never visited him for seven years, but she even lied to him after returning to Ocpeace City.

Before she could think of something to say, Abraham replied, "Well, it's normal for couples to fight, but you should fix your temper too."

Everleigh was taken aback, and she looked up in astonishment.

Abraham was indifferent as he tried to persuade Everleigh. He sounded like he had a lot of experience as he continued, "A man his age will tend to focus on his career. If it's not a major problem, then don't waste your time on trivial things."

"Dad, the truth is..."

"What's wrong?"

Everleigh forced a smile and corrected herself, "It's nothing. I'll keep that in mind."

She did not want to lie. Ever since she was a child, she never hid anything from her father. Although Abraham cared about his image and he always kept a straight face, he was very lenient towards her. He even agreed when she insisted on studying medicine at Ocpeace Medical University.

Yet, her father was getting old, and he could not take any shock. Seven years ago, she was pregnant, and she insisted on giving birth to the child. That incident shocked him, and he almost got a stroke. Hence she dared not take the risk.

Her father still blamed her for her premarital pregnancy, and she was well- aware of it. However, there was no point crying over spilt milk, and her two children were alive and kicking. Therefore, her father hoped that she could lead a good life.

Abraham was a traditional man. He wanted her to find a good husband who could give her happiness and take care of her.

After the meal, Everleigh bid farewell to her father at the entrance of the restaurant.

The Trevino family's butler, Mark, was Abraham's driver for the day. In truth, Mark stayed with Abraham for many years, and Everleigh and Selena grew up under his watch too.

Everleigh spotted Mark and greeted him swiftly.

Mark popped the car trunk and took out a lot of shopping bags. "Miss Everleigh, Master Abraham, prepared these gifts for the children. I'll put them in your car now."

"Let me do it."

"It's okay. You should go and talk to Master Abraham. I can handle this, Miss Everleigh." Adrienne spotted the gifts, and she leaped forward to help. She was addressing Mark sweetly, and he was overjoyed.

Everleigh walked over to her father, who was just beside the door. Even though they just had a meal together, things were still a little awkward for her. "Dad, your hip is not doing well, so why don't you sit in the car?"

"It's uncomfortable if I sit for too long, so I'll just stand here. It can get stuffy in the car too." Abraham's eyes were fixated on his two grandchildren. His usual solemn face was warm and loving. He added, "If you're too busy with work, you can always send the kids to the house."

"Huh?" Everleigh was taken aback. After a long while, she came to her senses and replied in a muffled voice, "Thank you, Dad."

Although Abraham did not mention that he wanted her back or forgive her, his attitude towards her children showed that he got over what happened.

Everleigh watched as the black car left, and she had mixed emotions. She held onto the bank card. Abraham gave her, and she felt very guilty. It was wrong of her never to take the initiative to contact him.

Eventually, night fell, and it was peak hour. The streets in Ocpeace City were congested, and there was heavy traffic in the city center. Ocpeace City was ranked the top five cities in the country, and the traffic never improved.

The president's office in Godfrey Group.

Theodore finished reading the document and signed it. He handed it to Moses and checked his watch. It was way past working hours, and he pointed out, "Go home after you're done with the documents."

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey, you should also get off work early too. By the way," Moses suddenly recalled something and continued, "Miss Tevino's manager called to ask if we can give her another chance to be our ambassador."

Theodore's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked indifferent under the moonlight. "What do you think?"

Moses was very afraid, and he immediately shook his head. "I said it's impossible, and I've already rejected it, sir."

Theodore did not spare a glance at him.

Moses changed the subject and reported, "I went to check things out at the hospital, and Dr. Trevino has yet to go back to work."

"Why?"

"The hospital explained that Dr. Trevino was injured, so they let her rest. After she recovers, and if the crew members still need her, then she'll return to the set. It seems that the rumors were quite a big deal. The hospital cared about their reputation, and they would not let it slide."

Theodore frowned, and he asked, "Didn't she go to change her bandage in the hospital?"

Moses was taken aback and replied, "No, sir." "Look into it. Which hospital did she go to check on her wounds?"

"Yes, sir."

Moses nodded, but his mind was running wild with confusion. How was Dr. Trevino's work related to her changing her bandage?

After the door of the office closed, Theodore took his mobile phone and went to the window.

The window reflected a tall figure, and the figure was drowned in the night. The window showed the bustling city center of Ocpeace City and various vehicles lined on the road.

He scrolled through his contact list on his mobile phone and stopped at 'Dr. Harrison'. He hesitated for a while before dialing the number.

"Hello? Dr. Harrison, it's me, Theodore."

"Oh no, we haven't talked for a long time, so I called to check on you."

The next day, the sky was clear, and the breeze was pleasant.

The two children were still fast asleep; hence Everleigh took the opportunity to drive to the hospital to change her bandage.

The doctor removed her bandage and checked her wounds carefully.

Everleigh asked immediately, "Dr. Carter, my hand should be okay, right? It's almost healed." "Yes, but we still need to pay attention to it. The weather is scorching, and your wound might get inflammation. You just need to come to the hospital to apply the medicine once every three days."

"I'm a doctor too, so why don't you just prescribe the medicine to me? I can just change the bandage and apply the medicine at home, so I don't have to come to the hospital again." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Everleigh was afraid that the doctor would not believe her. Hence she fished out her medical license.

"You're a doctor?" The doctor glanced at Everleigh's license and asked, "Hmmm... Why didn't you go to your own hospital?"

Before Everleigh could speak, a loud voice from outside interrupted her. There was a hint of anger in the voice, and a man broke into the room. "It's because she feels guilty, and she's avoiding me!"

She turned in the direction of the voice, and her face changed.

"Dr. Harrison," the doctor who was treating her immediately addressed the newcomer.
