Chapter 475

As soon as Dorothy pushed open the door to the ICU. Everett’s frail voice resched her eath.

“I need to see. Dorothy…”

“I’m here Everett I’m here, she quickly propelled her wheelchair forward, racing to tra bedside.

Eventi struggled to tum his face toward her, and it was only upon seeing Dorothy that he seemed to

truly relax, the sension in his brow dissolving into relief.

He tried to reach out to touch Dorothy but the tubes tethered to his hand prevented him Dorothy

pushed herself up from the wheelchair with effort managing to grasp his hand with a smile. “Don’t you

worry! We’ve got all the time in the world, and I be right here with you!” Everett’s gaze lingered on the

bruse maning her check. “My parents…”

“Your parents agreed to let me care for you. How else do you think I got in her

Though Everett was confused, the presence of Dorothy by his side was all he needed at the

Soon after, Everett’s parents arrived.

Amanda clutched her son’s hand, weeping openly. “Everett, its all my fault. I never imagined Heather

would do something so rash! If anything had happened to you, I won’t be able to live on!”

Jonathan, womed his wife might faint again, arranged for someone to take her back home.
