Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 479

It was the first time Christopher had heard an analogy between work and hooking up with girls.

Everleigh's eyes were full of contempt. She was sure that he had been idling throughout the entire trip. Although he had helped her in the investigation for a few days, whenever he was at the hospital, he didn't pay any attention to his work.

Benedict was really satisfied with her presentation. "Everyone, we must all learn from Dr. Trevino."

When the other doctors heard his words, they all looked over to her. Of course, some of them were displeased.

She was receiving so much praise from Benedict, so some of the doctors were naturally jealous and unhappy.

After all, everyone there was highly-educated and well-trained.

After the meeting ended, some of them congratulated her, while some of them mocked her. "If all the doctors here focused on medical technology research, then no one would be working in the hospital."

Dr. Fector walked past them and spoke in a cold tone.

Everleigh and the other staff members heard him and looked over, and noticed his dissatisfaction.

She didn't respond to his words. She knew what he meant.

Christopher, however, refused to give in and retorted, "We mustn't stay in our comfort zones all the time. We must be ready to change our mindset and be more creative."

Christopher's words left Fector speechless. Actually, he was rather knowledgeable. However, he had an incredibly traditional way of thinking, and couldn't think out of the box. A doctor was supposed to be friendly and approachable, but he somehow managed to make more enemies than friends.

He never tried to improve himself and wouldn't be considerate of others.

As a result, most of the people in the hospital didn't like him much.

In addition, he often scolded and cursed at the nurses, which caused everyone to have an even worse impression of him.

Soon, the little incident ended. Everleigh sat on her chair, wondering if she should confront Saniogo about the matter or not.

Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?

However, she was scared at the same time. She was afraid that their relationship would be affected after she asked him about it.

Thinking of it, she was even more distressed.

In the evening, she returned home. Alastair and Adrienne saw her and went up to her, and told her about everything that had happened in school that day.

She listened to them seriously.

Abraham, on the other hand, could sense that she was troubled, so he asked the two kids to play with Selena. He wanted to talk to Everleigh in private.

Alastair then dragged Adrienne with him and went to Selena's room, leaving Abraham and Everleigh in the living room.

"Everleigh, are you having some troubles? You've been looking rather miserable ever since you came back."

She looked into his eyes that were filled with care and asked, "Dad, did you investigate the death of my biological parents back then?"

"Yes, I've investigated it, but there weren't many clues. Many things seemed to have been covered up," he answered, feeling a little guilty.

She lowered her head, and immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.

If it was a normal incident, the investigation would've been successful.

However...

"Dad, have you ever suspected anyone?"

He replied in a deep voice, "Yes. Airplane accidents are incredibly rare to start with. Plus, we couldn't even manage to find out anything. Thus, I think someone powerful was behind it."

There were some things that he chose not to say, but it didn't mean that he knew nothing about it.

He decided to end his investigation after so many years not only because he couldn't find anything, but also because of Everleigh.

He didn't want something bad to happen to her just because of the whole incident.

Otherwise, he would blame himself for it.

She felt even more uncomfortable.

Someone powerful?

"Why can't I ask?"

"Menice is a foreign jewelry designer. She's very famous, but there's just one problem; she's avaricious. Diana must've given her a lot of money, but I'm still trying to figure out where the money came from," Cecil explained.

Her hatred for Diana had been increasing gradually. That woman was nothing but an ungrateful traitor.

Was she trying to take over the Hayes family?

Everleigh's gaze darkened slightly. "Have you told your parents about it?"

"I've told Lenold, but he didn't believe me. Diana has been acting like a good girl all these years. The only thing I can do is to look for solid evidence to prove my claim." After saying that, her eyes were full of disappointment.

She was really exhausted; she hated being at home every single day.

If she didn't go out for a walk, she would've gone crazy.

Suddenly, Everleigh realized that she wasn't the only person in distress. She felt sorry for Cecil as she couldn't help her.

Looking at the bitter smile on Everleigh's face, Cecil was puzzled. "Are you facing any problems?"

"I do have some issues, but yours is far more serious compared to mine. Just deal with your own problems. Don't worry about me."

Cecil's eyes dimmed. They were all having a hard time.

"Cecil, you have to be careful of Diana. Although she isn't really smart, I can see that she is cruel and ruthless. Compared to a bad person, you should be more wary of a fearless person," Everleigh reminded her.

Diana was definitely brutal and merciless, and she wouldn't let anyone go so easily.

Cecil nodded, "I know."

When they had lunch together at noon, Everleigh told her about the whole story. Cecil said, "Wow, your problem is far more serious than mine. Everleigh, what are you going to do next? Are you going to confront him?"

"I don't know either. It's just a suspicion. What if he was just there for some other business? I really don't want to affect my relationship with him because of this."

Cecil nodded. Everleigh was right.
