On the mention of Abigail and Langston, Dorothy finally settled her gaze with a different light sparked in
her eyes.
âAbigail⦠sheâs okay, night?â
âSheâs fine! Heather didnât lay a finger on her. With Karen watching over her, she didnât even lose a
hair!â
âAnd what about Karm?â
Kenneth thinned his lips and didnât answer immediately
Dorothy clenched her heart and grabbed his sleeve, urgent with worry. âIs Karen badly hurt? Did
Heather do something to her?â
At the thought of what Heather had done to herself, Dorothy was filled with instant terror!
She feared that Karen had suffered those torments.
âSheâs alright, better than alright! Her parents picked her up to take care of her, Kenneth quickly
reassured her, âYouâre the one who got the worst of it. Dorothy. Come back with me. Who knows how
long youâll have to wait here?â
Kenneth had rushed to the scene earlier. By the time he arrived, Everett was already deeply
unconscious, being whisked away in an ambulance along with Heather.
He had headed inside the warehouse. Upon entering, the smell of blood hit him. Following the scent,
blood on the ground.
It was a sight that shook him to his care!
Kenneth thought Everett hadnât made it. stumbled upon a huge pool of
Later on, it was only after he held back Kevin, who was dealing with the aftermath, that he learned
which hospital Everett had been taken to.
Kenneth knew Dorothy would ask about him as soon as she woke up.
But as for Everettâs condition, he knew it wasnât good. Even if she stayed by the door all night, there
might not be any news.
âPlease, let me stay here to be with him,â Dorothy whispered weakly, âHeâs done so much for me. Let
me do this.â
Kenneth fell his gaze, realizing just how thin she had become since coming to Eldoria City frail and
gaunt.
Her collarbone was deeply recessed, and her vertebrae protruded starkly as she bowed her head.
âI never could say no to you.â
Kenneth let out a heavy sigh and called a friend from the City Hospital to bring over a coat and some
fever reducers
Even if she wasnât going back for treatment, she needed to bring her fever down.
At this rate, she was going to faint right there.
Unable to sway her, Kenneth stayed by Dorothy, waiting through the night as it turned to day through
the cessation of the tomential Until he had smoked his way through an entire pack of cigarettes, they
still got no news.
Finally, at seven in the morning, a person in a white lab coat emerged, opening the door
The sight of Dorothy and Kenneth seemed to startle him.
âWhat are you two doing here?â
Dorothy tried to speak, but her voice was as if lost, her lips moving without sound.
Thankfully, Kenneth was there. He stood up and approached, âHello, I wanted to ask about the patient
brought in yesterday, Everett. How is he doing?â
The doctor blinked, recollecting, âAll The young heir of the wealthy Lopez family?
âThatâs the one!â
âHeâs transfered overseas during the night!â The doctor glanced at Dorollyâs pale face and continued.
âHis injuries were too severe and that stab wound was fatal! Pierced right through the chest, there was
nothing more we could do.â
Kenneth turned to support Dorothy, who was attempting to crawl to the doctorâs feet, her voice raspy
and barely audible.
âWhich country did he go to?â
âThave no ideal the doctor replied.
