Chapter 603
Theodore changed into a white shirt and jeans. He looked a few years younger with the outfit change.
When Everleigh went downstairs, she saw him, and her eyes lit up. "You're really..."
"What?" He turned around. His deep gaze was filled with coldness, but his handsome face seemed warm and gentle under the sunlight.
Compared to his previous aura, he didn't seem like the same person at all.
His eyes lit up when he saw her staring at him in a daze. He chuckled and walked over. "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at you. It's the first time that I've seen you looking this handsome." She wasn't joking as she spoke truthfully.
Although he had always been handsome, he was looking extra charming that day.
He used to be harsh and cold, but that day was different.
Theodore stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "I was very handsome in the past as well. Otherwise, why would you be with me?" "That's different. Being handsome is one thing, but the heart is what matters. If you didn't treat me well, would I still be with you?" Everleigh responded with a smile. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He felt guilty when he heard that. He had committed too many mistakes in the past. It was his honor to be able to get her forgiveness now.
In the future, he would have to treat her even better in order to be worthy of her forgiveness.
She didn't know that what she had casually said had made him think so much.
Adrienne walked down in a daze. Looking at her father sitting on the sofa, she rubbed her eyes.
"Daddy?" She let out a tentative cry.
He turned around to look at her, who was standing at the stairs. He smiled and said, "Adrienne, come here."
Adrienne walked over and looked at her father. She scanned him up and down with her big, dark eyes. "Daddy, you're so handsome today."
He hugged her as she sat in his embrace. "Was I not handsome before?"
She shook her head, pouted, and pretended to be cute, saying, "No, you are the most handsome today. You look younger, like a superstar."
Everleigh laughed out loud. That's exactly what she thought too. She knew that due to his work, he naturally had to dress in a more mature way. In the end, the clothes he usually wore were all the same.
She still remembered that the last time she went to his house, his wardrobe was full of all kinds of suits and there were only a few casual clothes. At the thought of this, she had an idea that she would take him to shop for more clothes when she came back.
"Miss Everleigh, everything is ready." Hilda came out of the kitchen with a bag in her hand.
Upon seeing this, Theodore finally understood why she wasn't in a hurry. "Why did you bring this?"
"I'm afraid it'll be too far. There won't be anything to eat." She was only preparing for the worst. She didn't know what that place looked like, so it was always better to bring some food with them.
The two of them walked out of the house to find Elvir.
It was rare for him to change into another outfit. He did not look as filthy or scruffy as before.
They got in the car and said, "Let's go."
"The location."
"I'll give you the navigation." Elvir threw his phone over directly for him to use it.
Theodore didn't mind as he drove.
Mr. White's location was on the way to Charilton City. This town was very poor, and there were only a few people there. The medical equipment was also not good enough and because Mr. White had no money, he could only get treated in this hospital.
Elvir took the two of them directly to the hospital. He walked in in a familiar manner, as if he had been here countless times.
Ever since Everleigh walked in, she had been watching the hospital. Looking at the corridor, she knew that the medical facilities here were not well-equipped.
However, on second thought, how could a poor town here have good medical equipment? No one would get treated here unless they had money.
"Mr. White has been living in the nursing hospital for a long time and the expenses are paid for by the government. His condition is too serious so he can only stay here."
"Does he have any children?" Theodore asked.
"I heard that all his family members died in a car accident. He was the only one left," Elvir replied in a deep voice, with some sympathy in his eyes.
Everleigh heard it and remembered Elvir's past, which was very similar to Mr. White's.
Theodore wasn't an insensible person. He could clearly see that Elvir's mood wasn't quite right so he didn't ask any further.
The three of them went into the ward. This was not a private ward but a ward containing three patients. Everleigh looked at the two other people on the hospital bed. They were both seriously ill, with ventilators, oxygen machines, and other various machines attached to them.
They were also patients who were terminally ill.
Elvir walked to the bed in the innermost room and looked at Mr. White. He was skinny, and his eyes were blank. However, upon seeing Everleigh, his eyes seemed to have more focus in them, but only for a passing moment.
"You're here," Mr. White whispered.
"Yes, I brought that man's child. Mr. White, you don't want to take everything you know into the coffin, do you?" Elvir said in a low voice, with some coldness hidden in his eyes.
Mr. White nodded and smiled. "I'll say it. There's nothing I cannot say at this point. This is Mr. Jenkins's daughter I suppose."
"Hello, Mr. White."
"You look just like your mother." Mr. White's gaze was burning, as if he was thinking about the past from many years ago.
Everleigh heard his words and was shocked. He was definitely the person whom she was looking for.
"Mr. White, could you please tell me what happened in the past?"
He smiled bitterly and his eyes turned red immediately. "At that time, I was merely a repairman and listened to the foreman's orders everyday. I'd check on everything he asked me to. I still remember that before the plane took off, it was inspected by me and my colleagues. When it was getting checked, I saw a woman in beautiful clothes walking over."
When the three of them heard about the beautiful woman, they became nervous. They were sure that this woman was the key person to this matter.
"Do you know who she is?" Everleigh asked hurriedly. She couldn't wait to know the truth.
Mr. White shook his head. "I don't know. That woman looked noble. People like us can't possibly know her."
"Then does she have any special characteristics?" Theodore asked. At the same time, he placed his hand on Everleigh's shoulder, trying to calm her down a little.
Her heart was torn with anxiety. She couldn't remember how long she had been investigating this matter. Now that she was finally so close to discovering the truth, how could she calm down?
Mr. White heard her and thought carefully. Perhaps it had been too long, he could not remember clearly. It was only after a while that he remembered, "I remember that there was a red mark on her neck that was shaped like a crescent moon."
Everleigh was stunned. A red, crescent- shaped mark?
This...
"Is there anything else?"
"No. Because she was wearing sunglasses, I couldn't see her face clearly, I only saw her from the side," Mr. White said pitifully.
Everleigh and Theodore looked at each other in silence.
