Chapter 219
When she first heard these words, Everleigh thought that Theodore thought that her cooking skills
were too poor. However, after looking at him for a while, she suddenly felt that this wasn''t what he
meant.
She saw a bit of chagrin in his eyes. Although he tried his best to hide it, it still failed to escape her
eyes.
"It''s really okay," Everleigh exined, "Don''t I usually bump into things and scratch myself? I''m not
that pampered."
Then Theodore''s expression turned serious. "If you want to be a good doctor, then stop cooking."
Everleigh''s expression froze. This seemed to be the first time she had heard Theodore talk about
working with her.
The path to bing a doctor was tedious, and many students graduated from Ocpeace Medical
University every year. However, not many actually made it to the operating theater to save lives.
When she was in college, Theodore had told her that she might not need to take this path in the
future and that she didn''t have to push herself too hard. Because of this, she had been angry with
him and felt that he did not respect her dream career.
Now, it seemed that she was really not sensible at that time. She didn''t understand the meaning of
his words and he didn''t share her feelings either. Quarrels weremon but despite all that, they
had been together for many years indeed.
"Let''s eat." Theodore''s voice pulled Everleigh out of her reverie.
Then, she picked up her cutlery and ate. Hesitantly, she asked, "Why did you give up the path of a
diplomat at that time?"
Theodore was the first- rate schrship winner of the Foreign Language Department for four
consecutive years. He was an outstanding graduate. That year, he was admitted to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs as soon as he graduated. Everyone thought that he would be a diplomat, and
Everleigh also believed in him.
"Xavier met with a car ident and there was no one left to helm the Godfrey family."
His words were simple and to the point, and it was enough to exin away the choice he made that
year.
Everleigh pursed her lips and suddenly regretted asking this question.
"Have some ribs; they''re quite tasty." She awkwardly changed the topic and picked up a piece of
ribs and put it onto Theodore''s te. After that, she carefully observed Theodore''s expression.
Meanwhile, his expression didn''t change at all as he picked up the ribs and put it into his mouth.
Everleigh breathed a sigh of relief and thought that maybe she was overthinking things.
Perhaps to Theodore, the choice he had made back then wasn''t too hard on him at all. It wasn''t
easy to be a diplomat. In terms of many factors, it wasn''t something that could be achieved simply
by working hard. In fact, it was even harder than studying medicine.
Therefore, it was not a bad thing toe back and inherit his family''s business.
Later at night.

At the gate of the South Hill Vi, a figure got down from a white car. The woman wore a suit and
rushed into the house in her twelvecentimeter high heels.
The light in the living room was on and Xavier was leaning against the sofa drinking tea, with a
wheelchair next to him.
"Miss Bailey is here." Apanied by the butler''s warning, Xavier raised his head and saw
Josephine barging in with a pale face.
"Are you here because of my brother?"
Josephine''s face was as pale as a sheet and she didn''t even change into indoor slippers. "Did you
know that he was in a car ident?"
"I know."
Xavier''s tone was very calm, as if he was strategizing.
Then, Josephine stood in front of him, gritted her teeth and asked, "Don''t you know that Everleigh
has been taking care of him in the hospital for the past two nights?"
"I know."
"You know?" Josephine raised her voice. "Why didn''t you respond at all? They''ve already reached
this level. The next step is to announce their rtionship officially, right? How long should we wait?"
Her shrill voice was grating on Xavier''s ears, and he looked at her coldly before he said, "Can''t you
calm down? It''s been a long time but you still haven''t made any progress."
"How could I remain calm? Do you know what my father told me? My father said that he wants to
cancel the engagement with the Godfrey family. He said that he had alreadymunicated this with
Madam Scott."
Upon hearing this, Xavier frowned. "Did Madam Scott get involved as well?"
"How could she not be involved? Everleigh has too many tricks up her sleeve, and she even saved
her life. Now that Madam Scott is backing her up, who dares to stop her from marrying into the
Godfrey family?"
That was true. Everleigh was lucky that she''d managed to save Madam Scott''s life. Now that she
was a distinguished guest in the Godfrey family, no one dared to even think about her in a negative
way.
"That''s true, but it''s not as easy as you said," Xavier put down his cup and reminded her, "Don''t
forget, Everleigh is married."
These words were a direct reminder to Josephine, and it also helped to wash away the anger that
had previously rushed through her mind. Thus, she gradually calmed down.
"Sit down." Xavier bent down and poured a cup of tea before he pushed it slowly to the opposite
side. "What are you in a hurry for? Someone is more anxious and even more unwilling to let
Everleigh enter into the family than you. Even if the Godfrey family breaks the engagement with
you, it''s not up to her to do anything."
"Are you referring to... your mother?" Josephine was a little hesitant in her words.
She still hadn''t figured out why Xavier was doing all this. He seemed to loathe everyone in the
Godfrey family, including his own mother. The only person he was close to was Theodore. However,
he had done many things that were detrimental to him.
However, Xavier didn''t answer her question, which could be regarded as a tacit admission.
The person who didn''t want Everleigh to enter the Godfrey family more than Josephine was
Madison, and she didn''t even want Everleigh to stay in Ocpeace City. Otherwise, she wouldn''t do
anything to frame the Trevino family.
After she zoned out for a moment, Josephine said, "But she failed this time. Everleigh has the
Meyer family backing her, and now she also has your brother''s protection. Not only her, but the
entire Trevino family can''t even be touched."
"Don''t we still have a way out?"
Xavier said these words lightly. A cold light shed in his long and narrow eyes, which made
Josephine''s heart tremble.
He said, "I heard that there''s a match for Madam Scott''s heart. She should be going for surgery
soon."
"That quickly?"
"Is it really that quick?" Xavier looked at her and said, "Didn''t you just run to my ce as if you were
in a hurry to ask me about it?"
"I... I did it because of the engagement. I really couldn''t bear it anymore."
Atst, Xavier told her to bear with it and refrain from doing anything. Since she couldn''t change the
fact that Theodore had the idea to cancel the engagement, she decided to avoid it.
However, Theodore didn''t mention the cancetion of the engagement to her. Instead, Madam Scott
directly talked to her father. She didn''t know what she said to her father, but he was determined to
make her cancel the engagement.
Xavier said, "Isn''t this a perfect opportunity? We''ll destroy any obstacles in our way. Plus, this was
all part of the n."
"What should we do next? Wait for her surgery?"
"More or less. Also, didn''t Madam Scott ask you to break off the engagement?" Xavier took a sip of
tea and gripped the cup in his hand. "Then just do as she wishes."
"What?" Josephine almost thought she had misheard.
Xavier looked up at her and said with no expression, "You go and tell my brother yourself. Tell him
that you''ve thought it through and don''t n to marry him."
His icy- cold voice smashed into her eardrums. As she looked at those sinister, eagle- like eyes
opposite her, Josephine subconsciously clenched her fists. For a moment, she felt as if she was
facing an abyss.
