Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 297

Theodore's eyelids drooped as he looked at Madison. He sneered and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? When have I angered you?"

"Then, why did you go to look for Everleigh? That woman is not worthy of your love." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Why do you dislike her so much? Is it just because of her personality?" Theodore simply couldn't figure it out. Other people's mothers would want their children to be happy, but only Madison wanted to control his life. Everything was done according to her wishes. Was he such a useless person?

She said with great disgust, "Yes, I don't care about the Trevino family, but this woman has made you fall heads-over-tails for her. I want to find a person who would serve you wholeheartedly, instead of the other way around."

Theodore really felt that her words were ridiculous. What did she mean by looking for someone who would take care of him wholeheartedly? These kinds of high- and-mighty words were just an excuse to deceive others.

"You don't have to say those words in front of me.

She was flustered for a moment, and a sliver of guilt flashed across her eyes.

Leon, who was sitting by the side, also looked at her with confusion. If he was looking at it from his aunt's perspective, he would definitely think that she was being reasonable.

However, from Theodore's perspective, he seemed to be able to understand how he was feeling right now.

"What did you say?"

"You don't really care about whether I listen to Everleigh or not. You are just afraid that she would become the second you, because you are the daughter-in-law who wasn't 'obedient'. If my father hadn't had affairs with other women, my grandmother wouldn't have kept you until today, and even more so to compensate you for protecting the Godfrey family's reputation." Theodore's voice was as cold as ice, making people tremble all over.

It was more like a cold knife stabbing into Madison's heart, making her feel that her whole blood was frozen.

Leon sat on the sofa with his mouth wide open. "No way, is that what Aunt is really worried about?" He pondered.

Madison blinked her eyes for a moment and didn't know what to say. "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Did I say anything wrong? In the past, I couldn't understand why you could accept Josephine, but couldn't accept Everleigh. It wasn't until just now that I understood what you are doing this for." His words were undoubtedly a slap in her face.

Moreover, it was the kind of slap that would still hurt for days to come.

Theodore looked at her coldly. "I told you, you don't have to like her, and I will also tell you now that from today onwards, you have no right to interfere with my choices. Otherwise... Don't blame me for being impolite."

Madison came to her senses and instantly burst into a rage. "You... She's an impure woman now. Do you still dare to be with her?"

"Impure woman? Aren't you the one who pushed such labels on her, my dear mother?" Theodore's eyes were red, and hatred and resentment filled his eyes. He hated himself for not being able to

personally get rid of this 'enemy'. He hated his mother for doing such a thing, but he couldn't do anything about it.

As her son, he was also an accomplice.

Alas... If only he had seen through the

Godfrey family's cruelty.

"You..." She still wanted to say something, but he was no longer interested in listening. He turned around and left.

"Theodore, wait for me." Leon was like a monkey as he ran out with him. If he didn't leave now, he was afraid that he would never get such a chance ever again.

There was only Madison in the middle of the large living room. Her face was pale and her forehead was sweating. She rolled her eyes and fainted.

The butler outside heard the sound coming from inside and quickly walked in. Seeing Madison lying on the ground, he shouted, "Madam! Hurry up and call an ambulance."

Theodore and Leon, who were standing outside the room, heard the voices coming from inside the room. They acted as if they hadn't heard anything and left the room.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk with his own mother. He knew how much pain she had gone through for so many years. It was precisely because of this that he respected her so much.

However, he was disappointed.

He had experienced first- hand what the saying 'those who are pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lows' meant.

The news that his mother was hospitalized reached his ears. Theodore, on the other hand, only asked his secretary to check on her. He didn't pay attention to anything else, much less going to visit her.

Madison was even more enraged at this.

Everleigh was discharged from the hospital the next day. When Cecil knew about the incident, she came to visit her in a hurry. She saw clearly what illness could do to someone. She was a little chubby before, but now, she had obviously lost a lot of weight.

"What's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for just one day." When Cecil saw her, she lectured her immediately.

Everleigh looked helpless and said, "I'm sick. Can't you keep the nagging to the minimum?"

"What? You got yourself sick, yet you can't even take some scolding?" As soon as she finished, she took the apple on the table and took a bite, as if she was biting Everleigh's flesh.

"That's enough. Everyone in this world would eventually fall sick. Why are you so angry?"

"I'm angry that you got sick and didn't even inform me. If I hadn't gone to your house to look for you, how long would you try to hide it from me then?"

Everleigh knew that she was doing this for her own good, and she was well-aware of it.

Cecil stayed in the ward for a whole day before she agreed to go back. However, before she left, she told her that she might have some leads for the thing that she was investigating. Everleigh was saved by someone that year.

"Are you sure?" Hearing this, Everleigh felt a little nervous and expectant.

If she was really saved by someone, then she... Was it okay for her to be a little hopeful?

"It's just a small lead. After all, it had been a long time, and it may be a little troublesome to pry further, but it's good to have expectations. There will always be a day when the truth would reveal itself."

There was a smile on Cecil's face, which was completely different from her previous look. She was concerned about her friend.

"Thank you."

"There's no need for such words between us."

Everleigh couldn't help but laugh bitterly. It was her mistake to have trusted Josephine and she thought back to how foolish she was back then.

Without saying anything to her, Cecil went straight back.

Everleigh sat on the bed. She didn't want to think about what had happened in those days, but she had to.

That was because this was the only way for her to know whether she had been violated back then.

She recalled what had happened in the past. On that rainy night, lightning struck and the disgusting faces appeared in her mind one after another, especially the scarred man, which made her even more frightened.

Later, she gradually lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she was in a luxurious hotel.

Everleigh's forehead was covered with small beads of sweat, but she finally gave up.

She really couldn't think of anything, thus she'd better let it go for the time being.

Everleigh raised her head and looked at the scenery outside. Although they hadn't seen each other for a few years, things still hadn't changed. The only thing that changed was her state of mind.

"If nothing had happened that day, what could I do?"

Should she be happy? Or should she be sad?

When Everleigh came out to have dinner in the evening, the whole family gathered together. The atmosphere was in harmony for a change.
