Chapter 554
The atmosphere in the ward was harmonious.
That afternoon, Cecil found a hotel for Everleigh and Theodore so that they could catch up on some rest.
Everything else could wait.
Everleigh glanced at Alexander and went to get some shut-eye. Upon hearing this, Cynthia was a little upset. "Are you here to visit Alexander or to have a rest? I don't sense any sincerity in you at all."
Everleigh whipped her head around to gaze at Cynthia's attitude- ridden face. She frowned and said, "I can't compare with you. Others say that you've been working hard abroad, but by the looks of it, you seem to be turning into Humpty Dumpty. I guess you didn't have any hardships, huh."
Cynthia's expression turned cold. "Oh, don't launch your missiles at me."
"You started it first. Visiting Alexander is my part of showing sincerity. Besides, I came here by plane. Don't you know the time difference between home and abroad?" When Everleigh had arrived, her whole body was tense, and her mind was on high alert. When she knew that Alexander and the others were alright, she started to loosen up. However, the more relaxed she was, the more the exhaustion sank in.
Now, she could not no longer hold on.
Facing Everleigh's words, Cynthia didn't know how to retort.
Alexander understood that it was tiring for Everleigh to travel all the way, and it must be even more tiring for her to stay up for the whole day.
"Everleigh, hurry up and get some rest. I'm fine."
"Alexander, I'll come over and visit you later," she responded in a soft voice. She then glanced at Cynthia and turned to leave with Theodore.
After Everleigh left, Cynthia stamped her feet anxiously. "Alexander, won't you give her a lecture?"
"What can I say? She flew from another country and has been here for so long. Is there anything wrong with her going back to rest?" Alexander glared at her. Cynthia seemed to find everything about Everleigh dislikable.
She remained quiet after being rebuked by Alexander.
When Missha walked over, she was carrying a lot of things in her hand. She looked around and did not see Everleigh. "Where is Everleigh?"
"She has gone back to rest. Why? Did you expect her to stay and look after Alexander?"
"Why aren't you getting some rest as well? Didn't you just arrive?" Alexander scolded her in a cold and deep voice.
Cynthia choked. She didn't dare to speak again as she picked up the food brought by Missha and began to dig in.
Missha knew that this niece of hers was not fond of the other, and that Everleigh must be very tired from all the traveling, so it was normal for her to have a rest.
In the evening, Everleigh came to visit. Alexander was seated on the bed, eating, and Cecil was feeding him.
It was a rather dazzling sight.
"Oops, we came at the wrong time." Everleigh stood at the doorway, with Theodore following behind her. The two of them looked like outsiders.
Cecil rolled her eyes playfully and said, "Leave all your nonsense at the door, thank you. Take my place and feed him. I haven't eaten yet."
"Uh-oh, we haven't had our meals either. Besides, Alexander prefers you feeding him." Everleigh took Theodore's hand and sat down on the sofa, taking in their intimate actions.
Alexander's eyes were full of smiles. It was rare for him to have such a good treatment, so naturally, he did not want to miss it.
"Cecil, I'm not full yet."
Cecil assumed that Alexander did it on purpose. He had polished off almost two plates of food, but claimed that he still wasn't satiated. Cecil threw the plate aside and said, "Excuse you, I didn't get to eat too."
He pouted and stopped talking.
Everleigh knew that if he continued to tease her, Cecil would get angry.
Theodore glanced at his phone. It was filled with documents sent by Moses. If he ignored them, it would cause a lot of problems for the company.
"You've called him?"
"I did. I think he'll arrive soon," Cecil answered his question.
Now that Alexander was safe and sound, it was reasonable to inform them.
"What about the Meyer family?"
"That, I don't know. It's inappropriate for me to call the Meyer family, isn't it?" Cecil shook her head, showing that she had no clue about it.
As soon as she finished her sentences, Everleigh's phone rang. It was from Christopher.
She was helpless. She knew very well that he had found out exactly what was going on.
She swept her eyes over Theodore and picked up the call without hesitation. "What's the matter?"
"Is Felicia with you?"
"Yes, did she call you?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"She did, but I can't head over there now. Ysabelle and my father are on their way. Help me pick them up." He sighed powerlessly. He was afraid that something would happen because they were too worried.
It would be a good idea for Everleigh to pick them up.
She agreed. She hung up the phone and asked the time of their arrival.
After getting all the details, she and Theodore went to pick them up.
At the airport, Ysabelle and Samuel exited and they immediately saw Everleigh and Theodore. "Everleigh."
"Ysabelle." She waved her hand.
Samuel looked at her and asked, "Has anything happened to Felicia?"
"No, no, she's fine. I'll take you to the hospital. Let's talk when you all have met." Everleigh understood what they were thinking. Since their daughter and sister had gotten into trouble, it would
be a lie to say that they weren't worried.
No matter how much she said, it would be better to go and have a look for themselves.
In the hospital, Ysabelle looked at Felicia, and there was sorrow in her eyes. "Felicia."
"Ysabelle." Felicia was stunned when she saw them, but soon came to her senses.
"Felicia, what happened to you? Why didn't you tell us earlier? Couldn't you update us on your situation?" Samuel shouted angrily, but he still couldn't cover up the concern in his tone.
His children were all outstanding, and he raised them all by himself. If anything bad happened to them, what would become of him?
Felicia looked down, the redness in her eyes betraying her feelings.
Their family was never the kind to get sentimental; they always kept things open within one and another. However, it was because of this that they got used to supporting each other silently.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Felicia to land herself in such a situation.
It had almost cost her life.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Samuel waved his hand. During the time when Felicia had not been around, he was very worried about her getting into an accident. Now that she was in front of him safe and sound, it was a blessing indeed.
"Dad's just worried about you. He wasn't criticizing you. Look how thin you've gotten. You used to say that you wanted to lose weight, and now you succeeded," Ysabelle eased the atmosphere.
Felicia forced a smile. She hadn't eaten well under Diana's captivity.
In addition, Lenold was severely injured, and his condition was unstable.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had trained her physique for so many years, she would have died a long time ago.
Everleigh and Theodore stood at the back. They exchanged glances for a moment, then turned to walk out. It was not a convenient time for them to meet with the Meyer family members.
The two of them sauntered to the hospital corridor and sat on the chairs, watching the nurses bustle back and forth.
"It seems that a marriage is happening soon."
"Uh- huh. When will our wedding be held?" Theodore turned his head, his eyes teeming with anticipation as he looked at her.
Her expression froze. "Excuse me?"
