Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Both Adrienne and Alastair also noticed Alexander. They called out at the same time, “Hello, Uncle Alexander.”

“With whom did you two come with?” Alexander asked, furrowing his brows when he saw that there was no one behind them.

“The driver dropped us off here. Uncle Alexander, are you going back?” Adrienne asked in a childish voice.

He reached out to touch their heads and found the two children to be very obedient. Except for that day when they had cried, they talked to Everleigh every day with wide smiles on their faces.

“Yeah, I have something to attend to in the office…” Alexander was in the middle of his sentence when he saw Alastair. Something seemed to have come to his mind.

“Alastair, can you come with me? Adrienne, you go in first.” After Alexander said that, he took Alastair and walked out. Adrienne listened to him and did not ask more. Then, she went into the ward alone.

Theodore’s face was covered with stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion. “Adrienne, why are you the only one here?”

She walked over to him and looked at Everleigh on the bed. A hint of disappointment appeared in her eyes when she saw that her mother’s eyes were still closed. “Alastair was taken away by Uncle Alexander. He said he had something to say to him. Dad, hasn’t Mommy woken up yet?”

Theodore reached out and patted her head. “She’ll wake up, don’t worry.”

Adrienne lowered her head and remained silent. She sat obediently next to Theodore, keeping her eyes on Everleigh.

At this time, in Alexander’s car, he took Alastair to Theodore’s company. When they got out of the car, the child asked, “Uncle Alexander, do you want me to manage the company?”

“Your mother is in a coma, and your father is worrying about her. You know, life still goes on. Alastair, you’ve been studying for so long, so now, it’s time to practice.”

Alastair raised his head and looked at Alexander’s handsome face, but he did not refuse. Recently, he had also studied many business cases. For him, simple management should not be a big problem.

When he walked in, Moses was staring blankly at the pile of papers. He seemed to be considering whether to send them to Theodore.

“Moses.”

“Mr. Jenkins.”

Standing in front of Moses, Alexander looked at the papers on the table and knew what he was thinking.

“Give these papers to Alastair. Let him handle them.”

“Sure.” When Moses heard these words, it was as if he had heard the voice of his savior. Someone was willing to manage the company, and that was enough.

Looking at Moses, Alastair shook his head helplessly and said, “Tell me about these cases.”

“Alright…” Moses took him into Theodore’s office and continued to talk about what was going on. Alexander sat next to them and listened to their conversation. If there were any problems, he could help.

The day passed quickly. One must admit that Alastair was really smart. In the morning, he had understood everything on the document. After that, he had dealt with them in the afternoon, and although not all of them were solved, one more day was enough.

Moses once again marveled at the power of genes.

Alexander was relieved to see Alastair staying on top of everything.

“I’ll ask for a leave of absence from school for you. You take care of the office first. When your father is better, he will come back to manage it.” Alexander was helpless. In fact, he didn’t know when Theodore would be back to normal.

Alastair read his thoughts and said directly, “That’s impossible. If my mother doesn’t wake up, he won’t leave the hospital for a day, so you don’t have to comfort me. I know what to do.”

Alexander felt a little embarrassed and suddenly realized that his nephew was very smart, and he could not fool him at all.

“Uncle, you should go back to rest early. Mr. Lawson and I will stay here a little longer, and after that, we will go to the hospital. I will also come over to the office tomorrow.” Alastair had arranged everything.

Alexander nodded and turned to leave.

After he left, Alastair asked Moses, “Mr. Lawson, what did you do when you were abroad before?”

“Your father asked me to look into your Grand-Uncle Saniogo and Grand-Aunt Missha. I found out a few things, but something suddenly happened to your mother.” Moses remembered at the mention of the incident. He hadn’t told Theodore because he felt that it would be useless if he did. Theodore’s attention was reserved only for Everleigh.

Alastair frowned; his face, which resembled Theodore’s, was serious. “Why don’t you talk to him? This could have something to do with the death of my grandparents. I’m sure he’ll accept it.”

Moses nodded. He would tell Theodore.

When Alastair went to the hospital, it was well after ten o’clock at night, and Adrienne was already asleep on the couch.

“Mr. Godfrey.”

“Are all the papers dealt with?” Theodore asked, looking at them.

Alastair looked at his haggard appearance and sighed softly. “I can’t watch Mommy’s hard work just disappear like that. Besides, she would be devastated if she couldn’t be a rich lady when she woke up.”

Listening to this, Theodore smiled. Although it was very faint, Alastair could see it.

“Mr. Godfrey, I’m here to report to you what I found out abroad. It turns out that Wilson and Missha have been in contact, and Missha had invested in every one of Wilson’s projects.”

“That means that Missha and Wilson have been working together for a long time, right?” Theodore said coldly. He had guessed correctly. Missha was a dubious character.

“What are you going to do now?” Alastair asked seriously.

“Wait until your mommy wakes up.”

“Mr. Godfrey, in fact, I would like to tell you that I did find a relationship between them, but no substantial evidence was found. I have to say that Missha was very meticulous, and all the information on the project related to Wilson was destroyed. This news is not very reliable.” Moses felt somewhat ashamed to talk about it. He had thought there would have been substantial evidence, but there was nothing.

“How do you know that?”

Moses glanced at Theodore. “I was listening to Missha’s people during the investigation, but those people were also gossiping.”

Theodore’s gaze darkened. He glanced at Everleigh and said softly, “Look, I’ve already said that your aunt has problems, yet you still didn’t believe me. Are you convinced now?”

The only response he received was the beeping sound of a medical machine, and nothing else.

However, Theodore didn’t give up. It was good to have a clue, and he had time to investigate.

It was also a congratulatory gift waiting for Everleigh when she woke up.

The next day, Saniogo came with Missha.

“Theodore.” When Saniogo came in, he saw him sitting at the side. Theodore’s eyes were red and swollen, and his face was covered with stubble.

The erstwhile dashing man was now nowhere in sight.

“I knew something bad had happened to Everleigh, but I didn’t come because I had trouble with my legs.” Missha looked at her niece, who was lying immobile on the bed, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

“Aunt Missha, don’t be sad. We all believe that she will get better.” Theodore’s attitude towards her remained the same as before.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

He went along with her oh-I-feel-so-sad-for-Everleigh facade.

Saniogo walked over and took a look as well. Ineffable sorrow came over him.

He remembered that Everleigh had met with him not long ago, but now, she was lying here.
