Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

As soon as Selena finished speaking, everyone in the hall was surprised.

Vera grabbed Everleigh’s hand and praised, “Really? One of the famous hospitals? It’s not easy to be a chief surgeon in those hospitals. When did that happen?”

Everleigh glanced at her father’s reaction and nodded carefully. “I just came back.”

“Abraham, you have a pair of promising daughters. Everleigh is in the medical field and it’s not easy. You did a good job bringing her up,” Vera added.

“…”

After knowing that Everleigh had focused on her studies and excelled in her career, Abraham eased up a little.

Abraham stared at Everleigh. Although he still seemed solemn, he was no longer gloomy. He warned, “As a doctor, you should always pay attention to your behavior.”

Everleigh was flattered and nodded carefully. “Dad, I understand. I will do my best.”

“Look at her. She’s such a big girl but she still listens to her father.”

“That’s right. It’s lucky to have a daughter like Everleigh. I’ve been fond of her since she was a child.”

Selena joked, “My sister may be excellent but she’s still single. Uncle Joseph, Aunt Vera, why don’t you introduce someone to her.”

Vera was very amiable. She answered, “Yes, it’s difficult for doctors to find a partner. She’s too good and no one deserves her. Don’t worry, just leave it to me.”

No one noticed that Everleigh seemed awkward and Abraham frowned too.

The atmosphere was lively when an adorable voice shouted in the crowd. “Mommy!”

Everyone was shocked. A little figure in pink dashed through the crowd and threw herself into Everleigh’s arms. Adrienne flushed and gasped for air. “Mommy, I finally found you!”

Everleigh’s face changed as she held Adrienne in her arms.

Why was Adrienne in the hall?

Everyone was bewildered at how Adrienne addressed Everleigh. Everyone exchanged confused looks.

“Who is the child? She came out of nowhere.”

“Everleigh’s daughter, right? Isn’t Everleigh single?”

“Who’s the father?”

…

Immediately, Everleigh turned over her shoulder to stare at her father. Her heart sank when Abraham’s face darkened.

Back then, she severed all ties with her father and the Trevino family kicked her out. The reason being was that she was pregnant out of wedlock. Moreover, she insisted on giving birth to a child. As a result, her father fell ill when he heard the news.

“Everleigh, is this what you told me? This is the present you prepared for me?”

Selena’s jarring comments rang in the hall. She pretended to be angry. It dawned on Everleigh that Selena would never be so kind as to let her fix her relationship with her father.

Everleigh did not expect her sister to still resent her so much. Selena was determined to bring her down at the cost of the Trevino family’s reputation.

Yet, Everleigh had no time to dwell on it. A male voice echoed in the crowd. “Are you Miss Everleigh Trevino?”

The man squeezed his way through the crowd. He was a medium-sized man in a green vest. He dressed like a courier company’s employee. His ordinary face was hidden under his cap and no one would recognize him in the crowd.

Everleigh was stunned. Everyone was staring at her. She had no choice but to put Adrienne down and stood upright. “Yes?”

“Thank god I found you. This is a parcel for you. Please sign here.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

As he spoke, the man took out a thick envelope from his bag and handed it to Everleigh.

Before Everleigh could receive it, a hand suddenly grabbed it. “What could this be? Let me see!”

Selena quickly seized the envelope and opened it in front of the crowd.

Without warning, a stack of photos slid out from the envelope and Selena was astonished.

Selena never expected the envelope to be so fragile. She was shocked.

Two of the photos fell right in front of Everleigh. The moment she set her eyes on the pictures, she widened her eyes. Immediately, blood drained from her face.
