Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 3

"Theodore, did you hear that? You'll need to eat breakfast after this. You always say that you're busy. You rarely ate the food I prepared for you."

Everleigh felt cold as though someone threw a bucket of ice water at her. She raised her head and met an unwelcoming gaze inadvertently. Her heart was pounding wildly.-

Back then, she thought that she would be able to remain calm even if they were to meet again.

After all, it had been seven years. She was certain that 2560 days was enough to wash away everything, even the deepest of love.

She thought that she could put it all behind.

She even thought that she no longer had any feelings for him.

However, who knew that Josephine's remarks would stir up turmoil in Everleigh. There was a sharp pain in her chest when she noticed his indifferent and distant manner.

Did he refuse to eat Josephine's food because of the promise he made her?

How could she still be hopeful about it?

"By the way, Everleigh? Everleigh, are you listening?"

Josephine's melodious voice rang in her ears.

"There's one more thing I want to tell you. Theodore and I are getting married next month. Can you make it? After all... we used to be best friends. I want you to be my bridesmaid."

It was too sudden and Everleigh could not react. Her body tensed under her white coat.

Her lips moved but before she could speak, Theodore answered for her. He replied coldly, "We don't need a bridesmaid. It'll be enough as long as we have a bride."

He looked up and stared at Everleigh with disdain. He continued, "Dr. Trevino, are you planning to stay and watch me and my fiancee?"

His cold sarcasm immediately shattered her hope!

Everleigh was taken aback. She glanced at the man on the bed inadvertently. His gaze was icy and his thin lips were pursed together.

She should have known that he was disgusted and hated her. It was foolish of her to think that he still had feelings for her.

Everleigh clenched her fists.

Seven years ago, he once told her, "For all my life, I'll only eat the breakfast you prepare."

He even promised, "Everleigh, you'll be the only bride at my wedding."

However, seven years later, Josephine took her place.

Everleigh struggled to gather herself. She was at her wit's end as she parted her lips indifferently.

"Well, I'm busy with work, hence I won't be attending. The nurse will change the drip later."

She was on the verge of breaking down. She recapped her pen and suppressed the pain in her heart. She turned around and left expressionlessly.

"Crash!"

As soon as she turned around, she heard glass shattering behind her.

Everleigh paused for a second before stepping out of the room. Sadness clouded her features.

He probably intended to hit her with the cup.

Theodore's face darkened as he glared at her back. His hands fisted instinctively and more blood dripped onto the bedsheet.

"Theodore... Don't be angry, Everleigh is your treating doctor. I can ask the dean to get someone else if you're unhappy with it..."

After exiting the emergency ward, Everleigh went straight into the bathroom. She made sure that there was no one around. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She locked the door and leaned against the door. Her emotions came flooding like a tsunami.

She felt an intense ache in her chest. She pressed on her chest but the suffocating pain would not go away.
