Chapter 200
Everleigh's mobile phone was still ringing. She didn't need to answer to know how anxious Yvonne was on the other side of the phone.
She had no time to care too much, so she hurriedly took Hansen out of the ward. When she left, she heard Helen's voice behind her, "If it's okay in the future, Hansen should come and accompany me, just like Adrienne and Alastair."
Hansen held Everleigh's hand and looked at Helen very innocently. His voice was soft and gentle, "I have to tell Mommy that. I can only come if she agrees."
Everleigh believed that if Yvonne knew about this, she would be extremely happy. Why would she stop him?
Rumors were indeed not credible. Previously, rumors spread like wildfire. It was said that Helen wanted to destroy Yvonne and her family, but now, she saw with her own eyes that Helen was just an ordinary and kind old lady. She liked children and was fair and just.
In the corridor of the hospital, Everleigh had just brought Hansen out when she saw Yvonne standing in the distance. Yvonne was looking around anxiously.
It wasn't until she saw Everleigh come out that Yvonne hurried over. She knelt in front of Hansen and touched his shoulders. "Are you okay? Hansen, how are you?"
Hansen shook his head. "Mommy, I'm sorry."
The child was sensible. As a mother, she couldn't lose her temper at all. Everleigh saw that Yvonne had a complicated expression on her face. After Hansen finished speaking, that expression disappeared without a trace.
"I'm just glad you're alright." Yvonne stood up and sorted out her thoughts. She looked at Everleigh and said, "Thank you."
Everleigh said hurriedly, "Don't say thank you. I should apologize. Alastair and Adrienne are thoughtless. I don't usually mind when they come to the hospital on their own as soon as school is over. However, I didn't expect them to come with Hansen today, which made you worry. I'm really sorry."
Although Yvonne was anxious, she didn't panic as much as she did when Hansen went missing the last time. "I heard the teacher say that he went with Alastair and Adrienne, so I wasn't very worried. It's just that I remembered that both of them stay with... these days, that's why I'm a little worried."
While speaking, Yvonne looked at the ward behind Everleigh carefully.
Yvonne thought of something and she touched Hansen's hair, saying a little reproachfully, "You can't simply run around in the future, and don't come to the hospital again. Do you understand?"
Hansen had a look of confusion on his face as he said in a soft voice, "Grandma said that she wishes for me to come and visit her in the future."
"No," Yvonne's tone became a little more serious.
"Yvonne," Everleigh hesitantly interrupted Yvonne's words, "Hansen didn't lie. It's indeed Grandma's words."
"That's also because she doesn't know that Hansen..."
Yvonne couldn't say too much because the child was there. She wanted to say something but stopped.
"Grandma knows." Everleigh's eyes were determined and calm, and she looked at Yvonne seriously.
As soon as she finished, Yvonne was stunned.
Everleigh told Yvonne about Helen asking Hansen to call her 'Grandma'. It took Yvonne a long while to come back to her senses and she almost couldn't believe it.
Yvonne held Hansen's hand and walked side by side with Everleigh to the elevator. "If you didn't tell me this, I would certainly not believe it. All these years, Madam Scott hasn't... Forget it. I won't say more. Thank you anyway."
"What's there to thank me for? I'm quite sorry for what I've done to you and Hansen. I guess this is also a coincidence," Everleigh said as she glanced at the elevator. "The elevator is here."
As they were talking, the elevator opened with a "ding".
The moment the door opened, she saw Cecil inside. When Cecil was about to get out of the elevator, she asked anxiously as soon as she saw Everleigh, "Hmm? How's Adrienne? You ran so fast."
"It's fine." Everleigh came back to her senses and took the initiative to introduce them, "This is my best friend Cecil. Cecil, this is Yvonne. I have told you about her before."
Cecil nodded at Yvonne and greeted her casually. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed. "Aren't you the one at the banquet that day..."
Everleigh was stunned and didn't understand what Cecil was talking about.
Cecil's eyes lit up. "Everleigh, she is the person who told me about you that day at the banquet. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to save you."
During Helen's birthday banquet, when everyone was surrounding Helen to celebrate her birthday, Cecil returned from the bathroom and did not find Everleigh, who did not reply to her message. Then, Cecil saw Yvonne.
Everleigh heard Cecil mention this before, but she didn't tell her who it was. There were so many people in the banquet hall at that time, so she was in a hurry to find Everleigh and didn't have time to ask for Yvonne's name.
Everleigh also didn't expect that it was help from Yvonne.
It was already evening. Because of what happened at the banquet, Everleigh invited Yvonne to dinner. She took Cecil and the three children to a restaurant in the shopping mall near the hospital.
In the children's area of the restaurant, the three children were having a good time playing in the ball pit.
Everleigh, Yvonne and Cecil were sitting and chatting at the table.
Thinking of the specific details of the banquet that night, Cecil said indignantly, "I knew it was Josephine who did it. That woman is so wicked that I feel like throwing up. She really can do anything."
Everleigh was drinking water. Her eyes were cold, but also calm.
She and Cecil had guessed who did it previously, but there was no evidence. Now that Yvonne had said it, they could be sure that it was Josephine who schemed against Everleigh.
Yvonne looked at Everleigh, and her eyes were a little solemn. "That day, Josephine was in touch with the waitress, but I heard their conversation. It seems like there is someone plotting behind her."
"There's someone else?"
Everleigh's expression became serious, and she asked, "Who is it?"
Yvonne shook her head. "They didn't talk about the details, so I'm not sure."
"Who else could it be?" Cecil said sourly. "Isn't it obvious? The only people in the entire Godfrey family who want to frame Everleigh are the mother and daughter- in- law. Josephine and Madison are truly birds of the same feather." "It can't be. After all, Leon is her nephew," Yvonne said.
"Who knows? Anyway, Leon's reputation is already like that. It won't affect him much. Maybe it's because she wanted to get rid of her obligations that the old fox deliberately planned this."
Cecil's words alerted Everleigh a lot. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
It was not completely out of the question.
Seeing that Everleigh did not speak, Yvonne comforted her, "If you want to investigate Josephine's role in this matter, I can testify for you."
Everleigh came back to her senses and forced a smile. "Thank you, Yvonne, but there's no need for that. It's enough to call it a crime if there's only a witness without any material evidence. Didn't you also say that she was only in charge of the operation and that there were other people behind her?"
Yvonne asked, "You don't want to alert her?"
"Never twice without thrice. She didn't succeed in the banquet, and would probably look for another opportunity to strike." Everleigh didn't show any emotions on her face, but she held the cup tightly.
Cecil looked at Everleigh. Originally, she wanted to ask if the 'she' in her sentence was Josephine, or Madison who was the one behind Josephine. However, since Yvonne was there, she didn't ask in the end.
