âYou think Iâm going to destroy you now? I hardly recognize you anymore, Heather! You used to be
gentle, understanding and gracious. You were a woman who would go through hell and high water for
the Lopez Corporation and a woman who would stand firm in court to protect the companyâs interests.
Look at you now!â
âAnd why do you think that is, Jeffy? If it wasr fer Dorothy snatching Everett away from me Iâ¦
âOh, so if Dorothy hadnât come along do you think Everett wouldâve fallen for you? Donât make me
laugh! Iâm not in the mood for pointless chatter. If you wonât admit your faults. then Iâll go to Everett
myselfâ
As he was about to hang up, Heather brake in. âYou cant go, Jeffrey! If you do this. I will never forgive
youâ
Jeffrey frowned, feeling closer to the truth, âWhat are you so afraid of?â
âBecause your going to Everett with all this will only worsen his impression of me You can dig into my
life all you want, but donât let Everett dig into this mess
She knew if Everett got involved, things wouldnt be as simple.
Having planned to quietly deal with the child, Heather never expected Jeffrey wouldnât give up! He
seemed even more invested than Everett.
âHeather are you really that stubbom? Iâve told you before hand over the child now and I wonât let
Everett know about this, I promise! Just spare the child, for my sake. But if you refuse, donât blame me
for what happens nextâ
Caught in a heated argument Heather suddenly solvered. She sobbed on the other end of the line.
âHow do you expect me to prove my innocence? I had nothing to do with the childâs disappearance. Do
you want me dead? Will you only believe me if Iâm dead?
Jeffrey was speechless.
*Fine! Il die! You all despise me anyway considering me a burden. I canât live like this anymore, with
every scandal and smear landing on my shoulders might as well die, then you wonât have to insult me
anymore!â
Her plea made Jeffrey doubt.
-Could he have winged her?
âSwear to me you didnât harm the child.â
1 swear! If Thawe, may never rest in peace Heather sware without hesitation
After all, she never believed in these things,
People say God can provide blessings and retribuliers, but all the times slie prayed during her
childhood, hoping for a better life, did God hear her?
No! God never blessed her! The public humiliation and the disdainful glances never ceased.
Since blessings were never given, she believed retributions would be the same
âFine, I believe you for nowâ Jeffrey sighed, ending the call.
Maybe he was just too desperate, thus making rash decisions.
Although he disapproved of Heatherâs actions, he didnât want to wrong hert After all, she was the only
woman he truly loved. The old Heather was truly dazzling
At the hospital, the director personally welcomed Everett. He dared not show any negligence.
âMr Lopez welcome. I didnât know you were curning Inday, my apologies for not being able to greet you
properly.â
Everett glanced at the director, too busy for pleasantries.
I need you to pull up all of Dorothyâs medical records, not a single page missing.
âOkay, Iâm on it!â
