Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 127 Xavier Met Her? Mrs. Godfrey took a sip of her tea after she spoke in a cold tone. When it cto her son, she did not show any affection. "The people that Fynn hired were too careless." George looked awkward. He only received the news in the middle of the night, but he never expected Theodore to arrive so quickly. He did not have tto prepare so he was caught off guard. He said, "No one expected Mr. Theodore to show up." "Since things have turned this way, I'm afraid Theodore wouldn't be easy to handle. Let's not jump the gun. Tell this to those men Fynn sent. If they want to cout safely, watch their mouths. No matter what they have said before, if they say another word, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison." George hurriedly nodded and said, "I'll take care of it." "Alright," Mrs. Godfrey lowered her head and sipped her tea. Then, she thought of something and said, "Wait a minute..." "Is there anything else you wantto do?" Mrs. Godfrey said thoughtfully, "Josephine has been quiet these few days. How is she recently?" "Miss Bailey had not been doing much," George said hesitantly, "But I don't know if I should tell you this." "What is it?" "Not long ago, Mr. Xavier met her." Mrs. Godfrey, who was drinking her tea, frowned when she heard it. She raised her head, "Why did Xavier meet her?" George looked perplexed at the question. "Mr. Xavier had never been a man of reason. Perhaps he wanted to meet his future sister-in-law as Mr. Theodore's wedding is approaching." Mrs. Godfrey frowned even more. After a moment of silence, she ordered, "Find someone to keep an eye on Xavier before Theodore's wedding." "Yes, Madam." It was dawn. It was not the peak hour for traffic, but the ER in the city hospital was busy. The operation theatres were full.

After the last operation, Everleigh was so tired that she had no strength to change out of her sterile gown. She sat in the corridor, leaned against the wall, took off her mask, and closed her eyes to rest.

Traffic accidents were common during heavy rain. When she arrived hthe night before, she was called back by the hospital not long after she fell asleep. A large number of highway crash victims were sent to the ER. She worked overtto perform operations and the last one finally ended.

"Dr. Trevino, we are going to get breakfast. Do you need us to get you anything?" "No, thank you. I'm not hungry. Go ahead." The nurses in the operating room packed up the medical equipment and left, leaving Everleigh alone in the corridor.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket. The moment she saw the caller ID, she frowned but proceeded to answer the phone after a while, "Hello?" Theodore's voice cfrom the other end of the line. "Are you free this afternoon? We need to talk." "About what? Have you confirmed with your mother about what happened last night?" "No." When Theodore said 'no', Everleigh was furious. Her voice sank a little. "Then I have nothing to talk to you about. See you in court." Even though the Godfrey family was rich and influential in Ocpeace City, she had evidence that they hired people to intimidate and threaten her. She did not believe that the court would turn a blind eye to it. However, Theodore said, "Are you sure that the evidence you have is strong enough to prove that those people have something to do with the Godfrey family?" "What do you mean?" "12 o'clock. I'll send you the address." Theodore was always a straightforward person.

"I'm not going," Everleigh said those three words and hung up the phone.

Her shoulders shivered as she held onto her phone tightly and looked at the white wall in front of her. She did not know whether it was because of the operation or the phone call.

'Ding!' She received the text message from Theodore with the location. It was a restaurant not far from the hospital. It was a 10-minute walk for her.

Everleigh's hands suddenly tightened as she looked at the nof the restaurant and mixed feelings appeared in her determined eyes.

After her morning shift was over, Everleigh changed and left the hospital. When she arrived at the restaurant, it was exactly 12 noon.

The restaurant was on the fourth floor. The building of the city hospital could be seen across the street by the window. The bright red sign that said "Ocpeace City" sat on the top of the building, eye-catching. "Madam, do you have a reservation?" "Yes," Everleigh recalled and looked at the table by the window. As expected, she saw a familiar figure, who waved at her as he always did in the past.

She hesitated for a few seconds before heading in his direction.

"What would you like to eat?" Theodore handed the menu to her as soon as she sat down.

"There's no need, I still have something to do in the hospital so I will leave soon." Everleigh put her handbag beside her and looked coldly at the person opposite her. "What did you want to talk toabout?" Theodore was not in a hurry. He handed the menu to the waiter and said, "Just serve the dishes that I ordered earlier." Before Everleigh came, he ordered a few dishes.

After the waiter left, the table fell silent for a while. Theodore poured her a cup of barley tea. Sof the barley grains floated in the glass.

When he handed the glass to Everleigh, he said, "I did not expect this restaurant to still be standing after all these years." Everleigh frowned, avoided the topic and said bluntly, "What did you mean on the phone?"

Theodore frowned slightly and his voice was deep. "If it really was my mother's doing, they won't admit it if they want to leave the police station alive."

Theodore knew Madison very well. When he mentioned Mrs. Godfrey, his eyes were calm, as if he was talking about someone unfamiliar to him. "I know her better than you do." Everleigh heard this and snorted coldly. "So the reason you askedto chere is to warnnot to overestimate myself?" Theodore did not respond to her question. Instead, he changed the topic. "Your hostility towards the Godfrey family is not just because of this incident, is it?" The scorching gaze on the opposite side released a form of aggressiveness. Everleigh's eyebrows twitched, and she secretly clenched her fists.

"What else did the Godfrey family do to you?" Theodore's attitude changed. His gaze toward her was full of hatred before, but now she saw the hesitation in his eyes. Everleigh was more vigilant at the sight of it. "Why do you ask?" "You met my mother seven years ago." Everleigh was relieved when she heard Theodore's words.

What would he know? He only knew that Mrs. Godfrey met and insulted her verbally. Those despicable methods seven years ago had been left without a trace. How would he know? "Yes," she simply admitted, "We have met, so what?"

Theodore looked at Everleigh's cold and distant attitude and felt as if something suppressed in his chest was about to implode any second. However, he suppressed it and continued to ask, "Seven years ago, was it my mother who pressured you to break up withand to leave Ocpeace City?" Everleigh clenched her fists more tightly, and her nails were driving into her palm.

Although it was not entirely because of that, it was what caused it. The answer was definite.

"Yes." As soon she answered, the table fell dead silent.
