Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 272

Stainley couldn't understand what Christopher meant.

How could he forget who Theodore was? He would not be fooled easily, and he had already thought ahead of them. Furthermore, he had left the company in another car so that they won't be able to track him down.

D*mn it...

"Where to now?"

"Lon Bay Villa. Everleigh just called and told me that she was there. From her voice, I can tell she isn't doing too good, and I am afraid that something will happen to her." Christopher started the car and was ready to go and find her.

He was even more anxious because he was afraid that she would die if he arrived too late.

A speeding car tore through the quiet night, making the lamps at night look even more chilly than usual.

Both men in the car looked dead serious, and they were suppressing their anger.

At this moment, Theodore was in the living room in the Lon Bay Villa, holding a glass of wine in his hand. He took a small sip, and no one knew what was going through his mind.

Sounds of people knocking on the door were heard after a while. He didn't respond at first, but the knocking was persistent, and even the servants were woken up by it. They looked at him, who was still sitting on the sofa, and called out softly, "Mr. Godfrey."

"Open the door."

"Alright." Just as the maid opened the door, two figures rushed in. Theodore turned his head towards them and frowned.

"Theodore Godfrey!" Christopher shouted angrily as he walked in, filling the house with his angry bellows.

His voice echoed in the big room. Everleigh, who was lying on the bed, heard his voice. Her face lit up with joy, and she got out of bed with trembling legs and quickly went downstairs.

"To think that you hid her here. You really went all out didn't you?" Christopher walked over and grabbed him by the collar. His eyes were furious, and he wanted to kill him.

Theodore reached out to remove Christopher's hand, and his face was sullen. "Who told you about this place?"

"If you wanted to keep it a secret, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. Didn't you say that Everleigh wasn't here? How are you going to explain now?" Christopher shouted.

By this time, Stainley had already gone upstairs. As soon as he walked through the corridor, he saw Everleigh stumbling forward. Her eyes lit up with hope when she saw his face.

"Stainley," she called out weakly.

"Everleigh, what did that b*stard do to you?" Stainley asked worriedly.

"Nothing, I'm just too hungry. Let's go back first." She wasn't abused. She was the one who didn't eat in the first place, so she couldn't blame anyone else.

Meanwhile, Stainley didn't want to hear what she was saying at that time. He just hoped that she would be fine.

He brought Everleigh down in his arms. As a doctor, Christopher knew very well what she was going through.

"Theodore Godfrey..."

"Put her down!" Theodore shouted angrily as he stood up stiffly with his gaze fixed on her. It felt as if he would hurt anyone who tried to take her away from him.

He was also quickly walking towards Stainley as he prepared to take Everleigh back.

Seeing him like this, Christopher snorted coldly. "Theodore, why are you putting on an act here? Are you not done hurting her?"

Theodore looked at him and said sharply, "I never hurt her."

"No? Then what is this? Did you hold her captive for her own good? Theodore, what were you thinking? Were you that heartless seven years ago? You're hurting her, but you tell everyone that you're doing it for her." Christopher gritted his teeth as he spoke, and his eyes were fixed on him.

Theodore's expression froze for a moment. He understood what Christopher was trying to imply, but did anything happen seven years ago that he didn't know about?

"What are you trying to say?" He asked sternly.

However, Christopher refused to talk to him anymore. He turned around and looked at the frail- looking Everleigh. "Take Everleigh back to the car. She can't hold on for much longer."

Stainley nodded as he glanced at Theodore before he then walked to the car.

Meanwhile, Theodore didn't want Everleigh to leave like this. He started to chase after her but he was stopped by Christopher who glared at him fiercely, "You are not worthy to be with her." "Wait,

Christopher, don't act so weirdly. Did anything happen seven years ago that I should have known about? Let it all off your chest now." Theodore had no other place to vent his anger.

The incident seven years ago had hurt him so deeply, but he knew that she had suffered as well. He wanted to make it up to her by improving their relationship, and he wouldn't even mind what happened in the past.

He only wanted her to stay by his side.

All of Christopher's sarcasm and coldness appeared in his gaze.

He flung the investigation results onto the table and said angrily, "See for yourself how your so- called fiancee framed Everleigh. You are blind, and you most definitely are not qualified to demand anything from her."

After saying this, Christopher turned around and left immediately without sparing him another look.

Theodore stood alone in the living room; the lights cast a long, lonely shadow on him.

When one of the servants saw this, she stood at the door with a horrified look on her face. "Mr. Godfrey."

Upon hearing her voice, he came back to his senses and he read everything that was written on the piece of the paper.

After that, he wished he was illiterate. Every word he saw was like a bomb, causing his brain to implode with each letter.

He squatted down and picked up the sheet of paper. He read it, and it detailed all of Josephine's actions.

After he finished reading it, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter echoed in the empty room. The servant was terrified at this sight.

She had a feeling that Mr. Godfrey was going insane.

Theodore had a big grin on his face, but deep down he was disappointed with himself. Over the years, he knew that Josephine had ulterior motives, but he let it be after thinking that she seemed harmless. However, he never would have imagined that she would do such a thing to Everleigh.

They were such good friends in the beginning, but Josephine had done such a despicable thing just because she wanted to be his wife.

Furthermore, she even put in a good word for Everleigh in front of him.

Very well. Josephine Bailey had played him like a fool. Since this was what she wanted, he was going to make sure that she got a run for her money.

Meanwhile, Christopher and Stainley sent Everleigh to the hospital. She had fainted after starving herself for too long.

Then, they took care of her themselves as they were not reassured by the idea of other people doing so.

It was not until dawn that they sent her to the ward.

Then, Christopher left the ward for a smoke in the garden. He lifted his head to look at the pre-dawn sky.

There were still a few stars glittering up there, which made him feel forlorn. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Since when did you smoke?"
