Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied -
Chapter 391 She Knows Everything
Everleigh handed Adrienne a piece of peach and said lovingly, "Here you go."
"Thanks Mommy!" Adrienne said. Then, she stuffed the whole piece into her mouth and grabbed the plate before walking towards Alastair.
"Alastair, eat this." She fed him a piece.
He opened his mouth and took a big bite.
"Are they always like this?" Theodore turned around and asked Everleigh.
She knew that he didn't like peaches, so she peeled an apple for him while answering, "Yeah. I'm always busy and don't have much time for them, so they usually take care of each other like this." He looked at her with mixed feelings in his eyes. "It must've been difficult for you."
She smiled faintly. "It's definitely not easy, but I'm happy to have them as my children. It's really a miracle to have kids."
Theodore noticed that her face was filled with the love of a mother. It was as if he got a glimpse of her past at that moment.
"Here you go, eat this." Everleigh was so focused on peeling the apple that she didn't even notice the expression on his face.
He didn't take it. Instead, he said in a cold voice, "Everleigh, you've really sacrificed a lot. Thank you so much."
"Don't mention it. They're my children too. It's a blessing to give birth to them." She smiled deeply. Her gaze was filled with happiness and contentment.
Although it wasn't a smooth journey, she was really happy to have reached this far.
She wasn't afraid of any problems or difficulties as long as she had her children by her side.
Theodore held the apple in his hand. He didn't take a single bite. He felt really guilty for everything that had happened.
"By the way, I'll drop by to check on Loraine later. She has finally woken up," Everleigh said.
"Go ahead, Alastair and Adrienne can stay here with me." Theodore was a little surprised to hear that Loraine had finally woken up, though the feeling only lasted for a second. He didn't care much whether Loraine had awakened or not.
Wilson wasn't even bothered about it, so he clearly had nothing to worry about.
"What do you guys want to eat for dinner? I can order takeout," Everleigh asked. She initially wanted to cook dinner, but she couldn't even convince herself with her own cooking skills. Adrienne got excited when she heard that they were having takeout food for dinner. "Mommy, why don't we have some duck for dinner? I heard they taste amazing!"
"Sure, we can decide on it when I get back later," Everleigh replied. Then, she got up and left the ward.
After she left, Theodore looked at Alastair and said, "Alastair, come here, let me teach you something."
"Okay." The boy put away the book in his hand and went over to sit right next to him.
Meanwhile, Everleigh had arrived at Loraine's ward.
"Loraine!" She called out.
"Aunt Everleigh! Come and have a seat!" Loraine was delighted to see her.
Everleigh walked over and said, "I'm glad that you finally woke up. Your mom has been worried sick for you."
"I know," Loraine said as she glanced at Yvonne.
Yvonne looked much more gaunt than before. She no longer looked high-spirited.
Instead, she looked more like a middle-aged woman.
"I'm really grateful to God that she has finally woken up," she said.
Loraine was touched to hear it. Her eyes teared up a little. "Thank you, Mom!"
"You are my daughter. I can never bear to let you go." Yvonne's heart wrenched in pain as she recalled what had happened to Loraine.
Everleigh knew what she was thinking about.
They were chattering happily in the ward when Wilson suddenly appeared with a basket of fruits in his hand.
Loraine and Yvonne both spotted him, and the smiles on their faces faded away.

"Why are you here?" Yvonne asked coldly.
Wilson was not mad at her cold attitude. Instead, he said, "I heard that Loraine is finally awake, so I'm here to pay her a visit."
"Oh, how kind of you. Get out of here now!" Yvonne got up all of a sudden and pointed at him furiously.
His brows knitted. "Yvonne, do we really have to start a fight in front of our children?"
"I won't do this right here. Let's have a talk outside. Everleigh, please help me look after the kids," Yvonne said as she pushed him outside. Wilson had something to say, but she didn't give him the chance and just shoved him away.
Hansen wanted to chase after them, but Everleigh stopped him. "Hansen, listen to your mother and stay here. She will be back soon."
"Hansen, Mom will be back soon. Just wait for her here." Loraine spoke with a low voice.
He wanted to say something, but looking at his sister's stern expression, he decided not to argue.
"Aunt Everleigh, do you know about my parents' divorce?" Lorained asked weakly, looking distressed.
Of course she knew about it. She even tried to persuade them to think carefully.
"How did you replace out about it?" Everleigh asked.
Loraine smiled weakly. "I was in a coma, but I could hear everything they said. It was the reason why I woke up."
"No wonder your mother told me you woke up," Everleigh replied.
She understood that no child could accept their parents' divorce, so she wasn't surprised that Loraine had woken up from her coma after hearing about it.
"Aunt Everleigh, I know that they no longer loved each other, but I just didn't expect them to do it at this time," Loraine said.
Everleigh noticed that she might have known something about her coma, so she asked, "Do you still remember anything about your incident?"
"Of course. I clearly remember that it was my father who caused me to fall into a coma. I just feel really sorry for the driver," Loraine smiled. However, there was nothing happy about her smile. She was feeling really miserable.

Everleigh was startled. "You already know?"
"He is my father. How can I let the police arrest him? Moreover, I know that my mom filed for divorce just to protect us from him," Loraine knew everything, but she chose to keep it to herself as she didn't want to break her mother's heart. However, she could not replace a word to describe her feelings when Wilson visited her.
He was her father and they shared the same bloodline, but he was also the one who hurt her.
She was in a dilemma.
She didn't know what to do.
That was why she remained silent when Yvonne chased him away from the ward.
"Loraine, you've really matured," Everleigh said with relief.
She chuckled, "Aunt Everleigh, I have suffered way too much in the past one year to still be the same innocent little girl. I'm sure you can see how much I've changed."
Everleigh was lost for words. She remembered when they first met, Loraine was an energetic young girl in braids, but now, she had become a sentimental and worldly young woman.
At her age, she should've been studying in school, enjoying the simple and fun times.
"Loraine, everything will get better," Everleigh said.
"I know. Mom told me that after I'm discharged, I can return to school with Hansen. I no longer have to waste my time at the company, staring at documents that I don't even understand," Loraine said excitedly. She missed her classmates. Although she couldn't fully understand everything that was taught in class, she still preferred that kind of environment.
Everleigh patted her on the head. "Are there any boys in school who are interested in you?"
Loraine's cheeks flushed. "Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"
"Well, I've had my fair share of suitors back when I was in school. What about you then? Do you have any?" Everleigh asked curiously.
Loraine was still young, so she was rather embarrassed to talk about it with an adult.
