Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 156

On Wednesday morning, the medical team gathered at the gate of the city hospital. Five medical teams were sent by five buses to different villages around Ocpeace City to distribute the medical resources, and Christopher was part of the team.

After the medical teams left, Everleigh received a message from Christopher. "There are bread and biscuits in your office. Don't starve yourself while you are on duty. Call me if anything happens. If the call can't get through, don't worry. Just wait for me to come back to deal with it. Don't do anything impulsive."

Everleigh was touched when she saw the text message, but the feeling didn't last long as she was disturbed by a trainee nurse who came running to her, crying and complaining.

"Boohoo... Dr. Meyer said that he is married. Dr. Trevino, is it true? But he had dinner with me last weekend, we watched a movie together and he gave me gifts..." She cried.

Everleigh's face was stiff as she forced a reluctant smile. Underneath the table, her fingers furiously typed out a text message on her phone, "Christopher, you messed up again! A leopard never changes its spots!"

After comforting the nurse who had been hurt by Christopher, Everleigh was busy all afternoon. She rushed to Ocpeace Medical University to attend a lecture. Then, in the evening, she went to the school to pick up her children. After that, she went to the Godfrey Mansion.

Her car stopped at the entrance of the Godfrey Mansion. Just like when she came alone the day before, Moses was waiting at the door.

"Mommy, where are we?" Adrienne's curious voice came from behind as she tugged on the driver's seat.

Everleigh unfastened her seatbelt and did not answer Adrienne. Instead, she said, "Both of you, wait for me in the car. I will be back soon."

Alastair stayed calm and was not too curious, thus Everleigh felt assured. However, she had to remind Alastair, "This is my client's house. You are not allowed to wander around. Just stay in the car, and I will bring both of you home once I'm done."

Adrienne looked at the luxury villa outside the window and mumbled absent- mindedly, "Mm." Obviously, she was not listening to

Everleigh.

Moses had been waiting at the door for a long time. He looked at the children through the car window and asked Everleigh, "Dr. Trevino, you brought Alastair and Adrienne with you? Bring them in so they can have something to eat."

"It's okay, there's no need for that." Everleigh took the medicine kit to the villa and said, "I'll leave right after changing the bandage. It won't take long." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Although changing a bandage was not rocket science, it was still not easy for ordinary people to do it properly. Therefore, Everleigh decided to change the bandage for him in person these two times. She had to do it every two days and she would go to work in the countryside on Friday.

In the car, Adrienne pressed her small hands against the window and watched Everleigh step into the villa. She blinked her big eyes and said, "Alastair, that guy looks familiar."

Alastair's memory was excellent. He said calmly, "That's Theodore's assistant, Moses."

"Theodore!" Adrienne immediately opened her eyes wide and turned around to look at her brother in surprise. "Why is Theodore's assistant here?" She questioned.

Alastair was playing a game on his Nintendo Switch. He frowned slightly and froze for a while.

He didn't think much about it, but at this moment, he came to his senses.

"Is this Theodore's house?" Adrienne had already voiced out her thoughts while Alastair was still in a daze.

"Adrienne, where are you going?" Alastair looked up and tried to stop his sister, but it was too late.

Adrienne pushed the car door open, jumped down while holding the seat and ran towards the villa. Her cheerful spirit could make people mistakenly think that she was heading to her own house; nothing seemed abnormal.

"Adrienne!" Alastair was afraid that she would get into trouble, so he dropped the game console and chased after her.

At this moment, in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa, Everleigh had just opened the medical kit and was preparing to change Theodore's bandage.

As Everleigh removed the gauze, she clearly saw that the gauze had stuck to the wound, so she cut it open using a pair of small scissors. Theodore let out a muffled grunt while bearing the pain despite her gentle touch.

"It'll be better after the next bandage change," Everleigh comforted. When she checked the healing state of the wound, her eyes darkened. "Did it touch water?"

Theodore frowned and said, "It's summer now."

"So what if it's summer? Even though it's summer, your wound still can't come in contact with water. Don't you know it can easily get infected?"

"I have to shower," he said.

Everleigh was exasperated. "I've never come across a patient like you who doesn't cooperate with me. Can't you just simply wipe yourself down?"

"No way," he replied.

His words were brief and concise. Although he was being unreasonable, he was resolute.

"You..." Everleigh realized that he was a clean freak. Asking him not to take a bath for three days was tantamount to taking his life.

"It won't be good if you end up in the hospital," Everleigh said angrily. Before completing her words, she lowered her head and disinfected the wound again. When she bandaged it, she did not say a word, but her movements were not as gentle as before.

From the moment she began to disinfect the wound, Theodore's face grew paler. His muscles were tensed up and the pain from the wound was much more unbearable than the pain caused by the kidnapper's stab that day.

Everleigh continued to treat him in an unhurried manner, as if she wasn't the least bit worried. She slowly bandaged his wounds as if she was cutting meat with a blunt knife. After the wound had been bandaged, Theodore broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you alright?" She raised her head, her expression calm and unhurried.

Theodore squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "I'm fine."

"Since you think this is fine, why don't you just continue to let it come in contact with water? It'll get infected again, then you can just endure the pain once more," Everleigh said sarcastically.

Her sarcastic tone was not polite at all. If she treated patients like this in the hospital, she would receive complaints.

No matter what, don't offend your girlfriend who is a medical student. They have a hundred ways to torture you, but they won't let you die. That was the scariest part.

After the wound treatment, Everleigh went to the side to clean up the equipment and was ready to leave.

Theodore sat on the couch, gathered up his brown jacket and picked up a magazine casually from the coffee table. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her packing up the things. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's getting late. You can leave after dinner."

"It's fine," Everleigh refused decisively. "I still have things to do at home."

After saying this, she closed the medicine kit with a 'bang'.

At the same time, an excited voice came from the door, "Mommy! Theodore!"

Everleigh was stunned. She looked up and saw Adrienne running towards the door. "Adrienne?"

Adrienne was wearing her uniform, which was a blue pinafore over a white T-shirt, and two pigtails sat on the top of her head. She was holding the door frame and blinked at Everleigh and Theodore. Her eyes darted back and forth between the two of them, as if she had found something extraordinary.

"Theodore, why are you here?" Adrienne asked.

Theodore's thoughts were pulled back to reality. He hid the surprise in his eyes and said calmly, "This is my house."

Adrienne's voice was very clear, powerful and full of curiosity. "Mommy, your client is Theodore?"

Everleigh became speechless.
