Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh burst into tears at this moment. She finally realized in her heart that the dead were not as important as the ones who were alive.

“Mr. Carter, I don’t care about the cause of my parent’s death, as long as you are still alive. If something bad really happened to you, I will never forgive myself.”

There was a hint of happiness in Elvir’s husky voice. He knew what she was talking about, which was exactly why he wanted to do something about it.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine now. I got caught up in the explosion. I’m recovering well and soon, I’ll be good as new.” He was anxious as well. This was no longer the favor he was doing for her but his problem too.

“Don’t worry. You can come back when you recover.” She wiped her tears and hurriedly persuaded.

“Alright.”

He smiled and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

At this time, a nurse entered her office. “Dr. Trevino, there’s a patient…”

Everleigh did not have the time to wipe off her tears. The nurse saw it and asked, “Dr. Trevino, are you too tired? Why are you crying?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Yes, I was just too tired. Let’s go.” After saying that, she hung up the call.

Elvir’s survival must be kept a secret. No news could be leaked out.

Everleigh did not even tell Theodore about this. By the time Elvir returned, the truth would be known.

To make it more convincing, she pretended not to know a thing.

When she went back to the Jenkins family house, she looked soulless. Missha saw this and could not help but said, “Don’t be too sad. Things have already happened. Why don’t you…”

“Aunt Missha, I know. I’ll be fine after a while. As for what happened to my parents, I will definitely get to the bottom of it.”

Missha saw how determined Everleigh was, so she replied, “If you insist on it, I wish you success.”

“Thank you for your support.” Everleigh smiled and stopped talking.

Saniogo was also in a bad mood and was listless. He could not help but say, “Everleigh, you’ve lost a lot of weight recently.”

“Really? I haven’t had much of an appetite recently.” She looked down and spoke.

Saniogo was over fifty years old, so he was able to see through some things. “Don’t be too sad and accept reality.”

“I will. By the way, where is Aunt Melissa? Has she been here recently?” Everleigh almost forgot that it was possible that what Melissa said to be true. However, she just did not say it.

“After Cynthia’s death, Yeezoo and Melissa have been depressed. I went to see them a while back, but they were both still in a daze.”

“I’ll go see her tomorrow,” Everleigh said meaningfully.

“Okay, I’ll accompany you, so that she won’t do something stupid.”

“No thanks. I have something to talk to her about. Aunt Missha, don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her.” Everleigh did not want Missha to go there, otherwise, it might complicate things.

Missha was stunned but she nodded. Since Everleigh didn’t want her to go, then she would not go.

Saniogo did not know what Everleigh would do, so he quickly advised her, “Everleigh, she’s your aunt after all. Taking Cynthia into consideration, don’t say too much.”

Everleigh understood that she would not mention Cynthia in front of Melissa. All she wanted was to interrogate her. She wanted to find out certain things from her.

After the meal, Theodore came to pick Everleigh up. When she was leaving, she had a gloomy look on her face. However, the moment she entered the car, she cheered up.

He was confused by her attitude. “What’s wrong? Weren’t you angry a moment ago? Why did your mood change so drastically?”

“You’ll know in the future. I’m overjoyed now, don’t you know?” She smiled. The joy in her eyes could not be concealed.

He did not ask any more questions seeing how happy she was. Lately, she had been feeling sad because of what happened to Elvir. It was good that she was over it.

The next day, Everleigh went to Yeezoo’s house on her own. Compared to before, it was gloomy and lifeless inside the house. The last time she was here, she did not feel this.

Her appearance made Melissa angry.

“Everleigh, how do you still have the nerve to come here?”

“Why not? I don’t owe you anything. On the contrary, you owe me something,” Everleigh said with a cold expression on her face. Then, she sat down on the sofa.

Melissa looked at her with her scarlet eyes. “As I said before, I don’t know anything about what happened back then.”

“You don’t know anything, but I’m here to tell you who that person was. Aunt Melissa, you don’t have to worry that I’ll cause trouble. After all, there’s not much trouble I can cause.” Everleigh was talking about her cousin.

Cynthia was dead. The couple looked like they had lost their will to live.

There was no point in fighting anymore.

When Melissa heard this, she was stunned. She did not think of such a thing.

“Do you know who it is?”

“Are you surprised? Are you telling me that you didn’t know?” Everleigh frowned. She thought Melissa had known but she just did not tell her.

Melissa was startled and kept her mouth shut.

Everleigh’s eyes shifted and said, “Aunt Melissa, since I’m here, I won’t ask you about this matter. However, I would like to remind you that greed kills. Your retribution has come. Even if you have no intention to hurt others, you chose to turn a blind eye to this. Maybe God doesn’t like it.” After finishing her words, Everleigh walked out. She no longer cared about Melissa’s reaction.

There was nothing sadder than burying one’s own child.

Everleigh went back to the hospital. Helen came over to see her and even brought her a lot of things.

Alastair and Adrienne came as well.

“Mommy, look. Great-Grandma bought me a lot of things,” Adrienne said hurriedly, pointing at the bag on the table.

Everleigh smiled without saying anything. She raised her head and looked into Helen’s eyes. “Grandma, why are you here?”

“I don’t have much to do, so I thought of bringing Alastair and Adrienne here. I’ll bring them to my place to stay the night. Is that okay?”

“Sure, there’s no problem with that. If you miss them, just come visit and pick them up.” Everleigh knew that Helen loved the children. It was a blessing for them as well.

Helen was about to say something when her phone rang. She picked it up and her expression changed. “I see.”

Everleigh looked at her and was a little confused. “Grandma, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine. I’m just investigating a person, but I’m at a dead end.”

“Grandma, who are you investigating?”
