Chapter 260 The Last Visit Theodore didn't expect to run into Everleigh. Looking at the couple standing in front of him, they looked like a match made in heaven. It was hard for him to look at them. Everleigh noticed him as well. He had becvery pale, and his lips were dry and cracked from dehydration. His dark circles and the redness in his eyes were all indications of lack of sleep. When he approached them, Christopher and Everleigh both stopped walking.
"I'm sorry about your grandmother's death, but I've done everything I can. I hope you can at least understand this," Everleigh said distantly, but the coldness in her eyes was hurtful to him. Theodore could sense that she had changed a lot when she first cback home. She was distant, but she always had warmth in her gaze. As of now, all that was left was numbness and coldness, as if she didn't care about anything else anymore. Josephine hated the fact that Everleigh was safe and sound. Honestly, Madison ought to teach her a good lesson. "Theodore, I believe that Everleigh had done whatever she could. I hope you can let this go soon, because no one can cheat death," Josephine said.
It was to Everleigh's surprise that she was present as well.
"Of course she fulfilled all her obligations. Only those with wicked minds would think that she would go as far as hurting people. Sometimes I don't understand what people are thinking, doing all those things that well deserve the wrath of nature," Christopher rebutted indifferently, as if he wasn't talking about them.
Anger crept up Theodore's face, and he looked at Christopher, who didn't show any fear as he stood face to face with him.
One was a charming man, while the other was like an ice prince. Standing next to one another, they were both equally attractive.
Everleigh also felt the abrupt change in the atmosphere around them. She immediately said, "I just want to tell you that no matter what your mother does, I have nothing to hide." Upon hearing her words, Theodore felt his heart ache as if it had been torn apart. He looked at her sorrowfully.
"You..." "Grandma's body is still in the morgue. If you want to pay your respects for the last time, you should go now. After all, given the circumstances, her body will be stored away." Everleigh didn't want to disclose too much of the details.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I... I..." Theodore stammered as he wanted to say something else, but in the end, he couldn't. He had been reduced to an untrustworthy person in Everleigh's heart.
Christopher could not help but look at him hatefully when Theodore put on a dejected look. Even though he was still the heir to the Godfrey family, but to Christopher, he was no longer worthy, and it made no sense to him why Theodore was chosen as the heir.
"Let's go. We should go back and rest. Thanks to him, you can rest again." Christopher didn't let go of the chance to attack Theodore with sarcasm. Theodore paused for a moment and quickly looked over to Everleigh while he recalled what Mrs. Godfrey had told him.
Josephine could not help but smirk at Christopher's words. Although it wasn't obvious, Everleigh still managed to notice.
She looked thoughtful but she did not say anything as she turned around and left with Christopher.
After getting into the car, Everleigh massaged her forehead as she was unable to contain her exhaustion. "I feel so dead." "Let's go hand rest for the day. Then, we shall go back to my place together after this," Christopher said with a sigh as he started the car.
Everleigh had totally forgotten about this matter. "What? Your mom must be...." "Witharound, you won't have to worry about this. You should take a rest first. And by the way, I might be busy these few days." His tone hardened when he said the last sentence.
She did not answer him but only stared into blank space in front of her, hiding away her mixed feelings.

Theodore was getting ready to return hfrom the hospital. Seeing this, Josephine hurriedly followed behind him. She got in the car and sat in the passenger seat. "Theodore, what do you plan on doing next? Will you stop them?" She showed her concern.
He didn't answer her, but it was evident that he had thoughts going on from the look he had, and the whole atmosphere was awkward.
Josephine lowered her gaze, her beautiful eyelashes flashing like the wings of a butterfly. A fierce yet unnoticeable hatred appeared for a slight moment before she asked in a worried tone. "Theodore, I know that I have no say in this matter, but think about it, is it wise to go against your mother just because of Everleigh? I know that she is irreplaceable, but Aunt Madison is still your family no matter what," Again Theodore kept quiet, but he put on a thoughtful look. His expression seemed grave in the moonlight.
Seeing this, Josephine frowned slightly. She didn't like to give up at this point. The last twhen she had troubles with Aunt Madison, Theodore never spoke up for her; now that Madam Helen had left, he started speaking up for Everleigh. What on earth was he thinking? He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. He said to Josephine, his tone as cold as ice, "Since you know your place as an outsider, don't give opinions when no one asked for them." "I... I'm doing this for your own good," she said meekly while the jealousy in her grew like a monster.
Theodore snorted at her and said, "Really? Who told you that my grandmother was seriously ill?" Josephine froze upon hearing his words and horror crept up her body. She faltered for a long tand she couldn't make even the slightest sound.
Theodore looked at her solemnly, and it made her feel like she had stepped into a bottomless abyss.
She couldn't muster the courage to say anything else so she could only sit in silence as she searched for a way in her brain to explain whatever she had said.
He couldn't be bothered with her. At that moment, Everleigh was above everything else and he was indebted to her.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen they arrived at Madison's home, they heard the sounds of people speaking in the living room. They were discussing suing the city hospital.
As they were already at the door, both Josephine and Theodore could hear the conversation inside. She quickly spoke in a controlled voice, just so the people inside the room could hear her. Mrs. Godfrey heard Josephine's voice and looked towards the door. Theodore couldn't contain his strong presence, and it was like a king had entered the room.
Everyone in the room was shaken by his sudden appearance, well, except for Mrs. Godfrey.
She frowned at her son who seemed to be in a bad mood, and asked, "What are you doing here?" "What are you doing?" He confronted her while nearing her.
She folded her arms, not forgetting her elegance, which was the total opposite of her when she slapped Everleigh.
It was to everyone's astonishment that she acted like suncouth person when she usually carried herself with elegance.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to sue the city hospital." "You can't do that." Theodore interfered with their conversation.
Mrs. Godfrey's eyes were burning with anger, and she did not hide her dissatisfaction. "Don't you know who's dead now? It's your grandmother who doted on you since your childhood."
