Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 11

"Look carefully, everyone. Isn't this Dr. Trevino?"

Mrs. Quelch held her mobile phone and showed the video to the crowd.

She glanced at Everleigh, who remained silent, and snorted.

Mr. Quelch was a playboy and he liked to fool around with women. Mrs. Quelch wanted to divorce him and live with her kept man. Yet, she could not find any evidence that her husband was cheating on her. Unexpectedly, an anonymous person sent her the video that morning.

If she made a big deal out of it, then she would not have to worry about alimony.

At the thought of that, Mrs. Quelch raised her voice.

"Come on, don't be shy. Take photos if you want. Post them online and let everyone know that Dr. Trevino is a b*tch!"

Naturally, the onlookers were busybodies. They took out their mobile phones to snap photos.

Everleigh felt that her cheek was going numb. She peeked at Mrs. Quelch's furious face and the inhuman crowd. She wanted to explain but she did not know where to start.

'Theodore, I think it's Everleigh in the video.' Josephine wrapped her fingers around Theodore's arm and tightened her grip. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Theodore watched the facade indifferently. There was a hurricane going on in his eyes but no one noticed it.

The number of onlookers increased and the crowd started pushing each other.

Theodore glanced at the restless crowd from the corner of his eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed Josephine's slender wrist. He pulled her behind him and cautioned, "Be careful."

"Ah!" Josephine cried in surprise. She turned around and bumped into Mrs. Quelch accidentally.

"Plop!"

Mrs. Quelch staggered and her mobile phone fell into the cleaner's bucket. Water splashed everywhere and the crowd gasped.

Mrs. Quelch rushed to save her mobile phone and attracted a lot of attention.

Theodore held Josephine's hand and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Theodore's concerning actions pained the watching Everleigh and she found it hard to breathe.

"I'm fine," Josephine replied. She lowered her eyes and hid the smug look in her eyes.

To outsiders, she appeared gentle and considerate.

Theodore turned away and his gaze fell on

Everleigh.

Their eyes met in the crowd. Everleigh could not hide her panic. Even though she pretended to be composed, Mrs. Quelch's farce humiliated her.

She was in a daze when a pair of long legs strode to her.

Theodore stared at her as she lowered her face. His eyes were as cold as ice.

"Miss Trevino, you've given me a lot of surprises in the past two days."

Everleigh's throat was dry. Before she could speak, Theodore lowered his voice and added, "I'll send the wedding invitation to you. Make sure to attend it."

As soon as he finished, he walked away and left her. Josephine was taken aback before she caught up with him hurriedly.

Everleigh's neck stiffened and she could not move. She did not even have the courage to glance at Theodore. She could only stare at the mobile phone in the water blankly as the crowd gossiped around her.

Shortly after, the security guards arrived. Mrs. Quelch went berserk and she was trying to grab Everleigh's hair. The security guards immediately dragged Mrs. Quelch away. The hospital dean, Benedict, had to personally come to mediate the situation. Soon after, the commotion finally died down.

Outside the hospital, a car was already waiting at the entrance.

After getting in the car, Theodore stared out the window quietly.

Josephine stole a few glances at him. She hesitated for a while before saying, "Theodore, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Everleigh isn't someone like that. I've known her for so many years, I know that she treasures herself."

Theodore seemingly heard her.

He recalled meeting Everleigh the other day. She was flustered as she came out of the ward. He asked nonchalantly, "Is that so?"

"Yes, but..."

Josephine observed Theodore's expression and continued carefully, "But, Everleigh has a temper too. Back then, she got into a serious fight with her family before she went abroad. Uncle Abraham got so angry that he was hospitalized but her father's condition didn't stop her from going overseas. I don't know what was on her mind."

Josephine knew better than everyone that Theodore was tormented when Everleigh went abroad.

However, Theodore acted like he could not care less.

Josephine added stubbornly, "All my friends said that Everleigh actually left with a man..."

Theodore's eyes darkened. Immediately, his eyes flickered with anger. "Since when did you start gossiping?"

Josephine's heart skipped a beat. She forced a smile and replied, "I heard some rumors but I know that Everleigh is definitely not like that. Besides, back then, she and you just—"

Before she could finish, something dawned on her and her face turned pale.
