Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 43

A black car exited Yoreast Hills Garden and sped onto the highway.

The rearview mirror reflected the face of an elegant woman.

Josephine's lips curled into a smile at the thought of Madison's reaction. A cunning look flashed in her eyes. There were plenty of times when she did not need to make a move. In fact, she just needed to wait for someone else to handle it. She knew that Theodore could not forget Everleigh, and Josephine would do well to stay out of the matter.

For years, Everleigh was a huge scar in Theodore's heart. Thus Josephine was afraid to bring it up. She had to be very careful with every step she took, and she finally made it so far.

The mobile phone in her handbag rang, and she came back to her senses.

"Hello?"

"DNA test?" Josephine raised her eyebrows and got a little nervous. "Who's running the errand for Theodore?"

A female voice came from the other end of the line. "Henry Quilt."

Josephine's face darkened.

Henry was Theodore's personal assistant, and he had stayed with Theodore for over seven years. Ever since Theodore returned to Godfrey Group, Henry had stayed with him. Henry was good at his job, and he was Theodore's righthand man.

"Josephine, what should we do? The kids are Mr. Godfrey's..."

"Impossible." Before the other person could finish, Josephine interrupted unhappily, "You believed those rumors?"

The person on the other end of the line went silent. After a short pause, that person asked cautiously, "I'm sorry, Josephine, I was overthinking. Since you're certain that it has nothing to do with Mr. Godfrey, should I just leave it?"

Josephine pursed her lips, and her face was pale.

After that incident, Everleigh probably did not even know who the father of her children was. Yet, what if there was a coincidence? What if?

It was afternoon, and the filming was still ongoing at Jackson Hospital.

Everleigh was standing behind the spotlight as she bent over to massage her sore calves.

"Dr. Trevino, are you tired?" The script supervisor, Logan, suggested worriedly, "Why don't you sit down?"

Everleigh replied with a smile, "It's fine. I've

been sitting the entire morning, and my hips hurt. It'll be better if I stand."

After she arrived on set in the morning, the shooting had been ongoing for five hours. There was no sign of them stopping for a break. She watched as Selena got into a fight with the 'patient' repeatedly, and some of Selena's falls were frightening.

Everleigh underestimated the hardship of an actor. She admired her sister for being so professional.

"Cut. Selena, this take was not bad. Take a break, and let's do it again."

The director, Mr. Blake, had repeated the same phrase the whole morning. He would compliment Selena, but he would ask for a retake. Evidently, he was not satisfied with it.

Everleigh and Selena grew up together. Others may be oblivious to it, but Everleigh's heart ached. Therefore, she went to hand Selena a bottle of water.

Selena just sat down to massage her legs. When she noticed the bottle of water, she reached out for it instinctively, but her face darkened at the sight of Everleigh. "What are you doing?"

"I didn't poison it." Everleigh opened the bottle and handed it to Selena again. "Are you scared?"

Selena took the fruit tea from her assistant and glanced at Everleigh coldly. "How would I know if you poisoned it? I know doctors have countless ways to murder people discreetly. There's no way I'm drinking that, so you can keep it for yourself."

Everleigh was both angry and amused. She crossed her arms and chuckled, "What would I gain from it? Selena, aren't you being a little paranoid?" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Why not? If I die, you can inherit the Trevino family."

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in that. The Trevino family is all yours."

"I'm not interested in that either." Selena took a sip of tea and stuck her nose in the air. "But even if I don't want it, I won't let you have it."

Everleigh was at a loss for words.

"Selena, get ready for another take," The producer, Mr. Jones, shouted for Selena to prepare.

"I'm coming." Selena barely rested, yet, she had no choice but to put down her tea, and she hurried to her feet.

"Selena, wait a minute," Everleigh called out worriedly.

Selena glanced at Everleigh impatiently. "What do you want?"

"Be careful."

After an entire morning, Selena was still filming the scene where she fought with one of the patients. She was getting pushed around, and she even fell on the floor. During the break, Everleigh noticed that there were bruises on Selena's wrist.

However, Selena did not appreciate it and frowned, "Stop pretending to be nice."

After that, she stomped over to Mr. Blake.

Her immature behavior was like a teenager trying to rebel against her parents. Everleigh was not angry, but she felt helpless. She grabbed the script and sat in a corner to study the next scene.

On the other hand, Selena watched as the crew members got back to work. Out of the corner of her eyes, she spotted Everleigh reading the script leisurely in a corner. She recalled Everleigh's concern, but she assumed that Everleigh was playing pretend.

"Mr. Blake!"

Behind the camera, the director looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Selena said seriously, "I think my co-actor isn't very convincing. He's the doctor who tries to resolve the conflict, but he always distracts me. Could I ask for someone else to play the part?"

Mr. Blake frowned and asked, "Where are we going to find a replacement? Besides, how am I going to get a professional? They're just temporary actors."

"Don't we have someone who's a professional?" Selena smiled as her gaze fell on Everleigh, and she added, "Dr. Trevino is an attending doctor, so I'm sure that she has plenty of experiences when dealing with patients. I'm sure she always resolves conflicts in the hospital, right?"

Everleigh was reading the script. She looked up and noticed Selena's cunning smile. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling about it.

Sure enough, Selena said, "Why don't we let Dr. Trevino play the part?"

It was pretty normal for someone on the set to play a minor role in the drama.

Yet, everyone knew that Selena did not like Everleigh. There seemed to be some conflict between them. Everyone knew that Selena was up to no good when she proposed the idea. The staff members gathered around to see how things would unfold.

Everleigh put on a white coat. It was a familiar coat, but she felt uneasy when she was in front of the camera.

The role she was filling only had one line. The female lead was arguing with the patient, and she would run up to stop them.

"Okay, three, two, one, action."

Mr. Blake gave the green light, and the group of actors began to walk in the hospital corridor. Suddenly, a 'patient' with bandages on his face ran out from the ward and screamed, "You b*stards! You even call yourself doctors?"

He shouted and dashed to Selena.

Selena was holding a medical record. She raised her head and seemed shocked, but she reacted swiftly. Before the patient's fist could land on her face, she immediately dodged it, and they began

fighting in the corridor.

The other actors crowded around them. They played the roles of the colleagues and tried to stop them. Everleigh walked up to pull Selena and tried to separate them. She shouted her lines, "Dr. Scott, stop it. Hurry, call security!"

Amidst the chaos, a loud slap echoed in the corridor.

Everyone was taken aback.

Everleigh cupped her hand over her burning cheek, and her head was buzzing.
