âGiven the circumstances, I canât afford to consider muchâ Dorothy has braced herself for the worst. âIf
thereâs truly no other option, Iâll have to take the final step! I go to Heather.â
Heather wasnt entirely fearless
Heather knows that if she reveals the suspicions about her motherâs death to Everett now, he will
surely initiate an investigation into her Immediately!
Perhaps this could be used as a card to threaten Heather, to keep her from harming Langston
âDorothy, youâre usually so smart, why are you so flustered now? Doing this will only force Heather to
take extreme measures, and it wonât change anything!â
âI canât just sit here and wait for Langston to come back!â
Dorothy looked at Kenneth, her face was etched with exhaustion. She was on the verge of going mad!
All her plans had been thrown into disarray, leaving her helpless
âIâve told you have faith in me. I handle this for you! I promise Langston wonât be harmed. Resume your
normal work and daily routine to avoid arousing any suspicion from Everett Once locate Langston, Il
bring him to you right away, and then weâll leave.â
âBun..
âDorothy! You must have realized by now that if Langston doesnât fulfill his objective, heâll try every
possible way to leave you and find Everett again! Itâs better to let him accomplish what he wants. I
believe he will come locking for meâ
Dorothy had a million worries, which stuck in her throat and unable to voice them.â
But she also knew that there was little she could do now.
âGo now, leave the rest to me.â Kenneth walked over, patting her on the shoulder. âAbigail is waiting for
you.â
Dorothy remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing
She was confused and needed time to think.
In the hospital Jeffrey was still in the ICU, and visits were not allowed.
Everyone who came could only wait at the door, including Jeffreyâs parents.
Everett had sent someone to the airport to pick them up and brought them directly to the hospital.
âWhat the hell happened, Everett? What did the doctor say about my sonâs condition?â Jeffreyâs mother,
Paloma, was crying so hard her eyes were swollen, her hand trembling as she clung to Everettâs
Jeffrey was the only child of the Turner family!
Tve already arranged for renowned doctors from abroad to come for a consultation. Weâll do everything
we can to cure him,â Everett said, opting for actions over words, uncertain of how to provide comfort
Jeffreyâs father, Huxley Turner, seemed a bit more composed, his face grim as he stood quietly at the
ICU door
Soon after, Heather arrived.
Seeing Paloma there, she cried even louder than her.
âHuxley, Paloma, Iâm sorry!â
Heather stepped forward in her high heels, and before she could say anything else, she promptly knelt
down before them.
This move shocked the elder Turners
âWhat are you doing?â Paloma tried to help her up, but Heather stubbornly remained on her knees
âI cant deny my involvement with Jeffereyâs accident! Because because of my disagreement with
Everett, he came to mediate We had a quarrel and Jeffrey left to find Everett He was probably too
emotional and didnât pay attention to the traffic, soâ¦â
Although Paloma was somewhat confused, she got the gist of it
She glanced at Everett, and her brows furrowed âYou two argued? My dear Jeffrey was too much of a
good Samantan, thinking of you as true frends!â
