Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 188

In the banquet hall, the guests gathered around Helen to wish her happy birthday.

People who came here were all relatives of the Godfrey family. Most of them flew back from all over the world to attend the birthday banquet because they cared about the high status of Helen in the family.

"I wish you happiness and long life, Madam Scott."

"Oh, you're my brother's child." Helen smiled and gave the well- wisher a small gift. "I haven't seen you in so many years and you have already grown so tall."

The Godfrey family was a big family, and Helen didn't even know most of the relatives from the collateral branches. After the younger ones wished her, it was her own children's turn.

Everleigh was a little far away. She stood against the dessert table, drinking a glass of juice in her hand, looking bored. With the other hand, she sent a message to Cecil, asking her where she was and when she would come back.

While her head was down, she didn't notice the waitress who was walking towards her.

When the waitress was less than half a meter away from Everleigh, she suddenly tilted her body and staggered to the ground. The moment she fell, she let out a cry of pain, as if she had fallen hard.

Everleigh subconsciously raised her head. As soon as she saw someone fall, she immediately put down the cup and went to help.

'Are you alright?"

The waitress was very young, and her face was very delicate. At that moment, her expression was very bad. She looked like she was in pain, but she endured it. "It's nothing..."

"Let me see." Everleigh, out of the professional habits of a doctor, knelt down to check the injury on the waitress. She pressed the waitress' ankle. "Does it hurt here?"

The waitress took a deep breath and said, "It hurts."

"Maybe you sprained your ankle, but it doesn't look serious." Everleigh helped her up from the ground. "Let’s find a place to rest."

The waitress held Everleigh's elbow, holding herself up with one foot as she gasped constantly. "I don't seem to be able to walk." "Let's go over there and have a seat," Everleigh raised her chin to the sofa beside her and said. "I'll help you over."

Upon hearing this, the waitress shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, if my boss sees me, he'll tell me that the rest area is reserved for guests only."

"Since you're in this state, it's okay to sit for a while. Your boss will not be so unreasonable."

"No." The waitress looked around. "If my boss sees it, he'll deduct my salary. I'll go to the staff lounge. It's on the first floor and it's a bit far away."

Hearing this, Everleigh smiled kindly. "It's okay. I'll take you there. Let's go."

"Am I taking up your time?"

"That won't happen. I'm also a little bored, anyway."

As Helen's attending physician, Everleigh was only there to prevent accidents. In fact, Helen was in good health. As long as she was not severely stimulated, she would not suddenly fall ill. Therefore,

Everleigh did not need to stay with Helen the whole time.

This time, if it wasn't for the director of the hospital who specifically asked her to follow Helen, she wouldn't be there. In fact, it was enough to send an intern. If something really happened, Helen would still need to be sent to the hospital as she couldn't be saved by only emergency first aid.

After sending the waitress to the staff lounge on the first floor, Everleigh checked her ankle again. "It doesn't look serious. If you are worried, you can put some ice on it."

"Okay, thank you. Can you help me get an ice bag? I remember that there is one in the lounge's refrigerator."

"Okay." Everleigh immediately agreed and went to open the freezer.

When she turned around to get it, she didn't notice that the waitress, who was behind her, looked at her with a serious face.

Everleigh took the ice bag. Out of fear that the ice bag was too cold, she wrapped it with a towel.

When she came back, the waitress was sitting on the sofa, holding a kettle in one hand and pouring water into an empty cup on the table. "Here, have some water."

"Thank you." Everleigh took the glass and handed over the ice bag. She said, "Just take it and put it there for a while. Don't put it for too long."

"Okay." The waitress was very young and looked innocent. As she listened to Everleigh's instruction, she asked her, "It's not serious? Will it affect my work?"

"Nothing will happen. Just try not to exert too much strength in the next few days."

"I'm still a little worried. Can you stay here with me for a while?"

Everleigh looked at the time. The banquet had just begun and it was still early, so she was not in a hurry. "Okay, I can accompany you for a while. Don't worry, a sprained ankle is just a small injury, and I don't think it's serious."

After she said that, she sat down on the sofa next to her and took a sip of water from the glass next to her.

"Are you a doctor?"

"That's right."

"When I was a child, I always wanted to be a doctor, but my family is poor and I couldn't go to school. I'm so envious of you." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Everleigh couldn't bear to hear such words, so she felt a little distressed and asked, "How old are you?"

"I'm seventeen."

"Have you been working here all this time?"

"No. My aunt introduced me to this job. It's only been three months since I came here." While chatting, Everleigh couldn't help yawning. She didn't know why the temperature in the room was higher than it was outside, but she felt very sleepy and her eyelids were sinking.

"Miss?"

"Miss? Are you alright?"

Everleigh heard the voice, like someone was talking to her, and it seemed like someone was calling her.

Everleigh tried hard to respond, but she couldn't see the person in front of her. She could only see a blurry shadow, which gradually merged with the surrounding scenery. Soon, all that was left in front of her was darkness.

At this moment, the banquet hall was very lively.

While Theodore was offering his birthday wishes to Helen, Josephine was also by his side.

"Grandma, I wish you a healthy and long life." Josephine took out a black, exquisite wooden box and opened it in front of everyone. Inside the box was a jade pendant that was of excellent quality. One look at it and anyone could tell that it was quite valuable.

Helen's expression was indifferent. "Thanks."

After saying that, she motioned for the butler next to her to take it, but did not reach out to accept it.

Mrs. Godfrey's voice came from the side, "Mom, don't take this as a small thing. Josephine went to Goldie Hill specially to pray for your medical condition. A senior priest has blessed it, and it will surely bless your health."

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Goldie Hill, I heard that if you want to go there to pray, you have to climb up there step by step. You can't even ride a cable car and you have to climb for at least seven hours. You really did a lot."

The surrounding area was immediately filled with praises.

Mrs. Godfrey was very proud. "Josephine has always been filial and sensible. When she marries Theodore..."

"Ahem." Not waiting for Mrs. Godfrey to finish her words, Helen suddenly coughed and interrupted her. She said lightly, "Life and death are decided by fate. If praying is really so useful, why should I

stay in the hospital? I can directly go and live in the church on the mountain."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Godfrey felt embarrassed and the people around looked at each other, speechless.

Rumors had it that Helen didn't like her granddaughter-in-law very much. The way she humiliated Josephine in front of everybody, it seemed that the rumor was true.
