Erine's heart still raced when she recalled the situation. If Everleigh had died at that time, how would she explain it to Theodore?
As Theodore listened to Erine's words, he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles creaked.
There was an undercurrent of rage within his despairing eyes.
If nothing happened to Everleigh, everything would be fine, but if something did happen, he didn't know what he would do.
Christopher could feel Erine's whole body trembling. He couldn't help but feel distressed, and he quickly held her in his arms.
"It's okay, everything will be fine. Everleigh's always the strongest."
Sobbing weakly, Erine hugged him without letting go.
Alexander looked at Theodore, who exuded an air of violent rage. If he hadn't been waiting for Everleigh, he would have gone after Wilson.
However, he did not want to comfort him. This matter was their responsibility.
Cecil dashed straight over after learning about it. She came to the entrance of the operating theatre and looked at them, all sitting motionless in their benches. She became a little anxious. "Alexander, where's Everleigh? How is she now?"
"She's still in surgery," he replied in a low voice, looking very worried.
Her face turned pale; she had a bad feeling about it.
At that moment, the door was pushed open and Maxwell came out of it with a gloomy and terrible expression.
All the men gathered around him, especially Theodore. He was the first one to rush over. "Dr. Harrison, what is her condition?"
"She has received a severe blow to the head and has lost a lot of blood. It is now up to her to regain consciousness." Maxwell spoke these words with heartache on his wrinkled face.
As soon as he finished his words, Erine burst into tears and cried, "Christopher, Christopher." Her mood couldn't be described with words.
She felt sorry for Everleigh. If she had seen the kidnappers earlier, she would not have been beaten.
Theodore's expression froze, and his mind instantly buzzed as if he hadn't heard anything.
Cecil was also stunned. How did this happen?
Why did it turn out like this?
Alexander's and Theodore's mood resonated with each other. They were at a loss for how to respond.
"Everleigh's will to survive is very strong. I believe... that she will get better." When Maxwell said these words, he choked with sobs.
In fact, he knew very well that she was unlikely to wake up.
Theodore's grip on Maxwell's hand was shaking. With his voice cracking, he asked as tears welled up in his eyes, "Is she really going to wake up?"
"Yes, there'll always be hope." Maxwell's encouraging words came out eviscerated.
What did he mean by this?
Even he himself did not know what hope meant in this situation.
Theodore's hand slowly slid down. These words became lies if you heard them too often. Everleigh probably would never have a chance of waking up.
Without waiting for her to come out, Theodore suddenly turned around and ran out.
Alexander glanced at him and did not intend to chase him. He should do something for Everleigh, which was what the Godfrey family owed her.
After Everleigh was transferred to the hospital room, Erine and Cecil broke down and cried. They really wanted her to open her eyes from the bed and tell them that she was fine.
However, they couldn't see this wish realized.
Theodore sent people outside to look for Wilson, day and night. He didn't even make a call to ask about Everleigh's situation.
