Chapter 65

After Heather moved back to the country, she stayed in a fancy neighborhood not far from Bay

Residence.

That was initially her parents

they had moved abroad and left it to her.

The Lopez family had always seen her as their future daughter–in–law.

Everett parked the car in front of the villa and called Heather, “Come out. I’m at the door?

“Sorry, could you… could you come in and carry me out? I’m in so much pain I can’t stand up.”

“That bad?” He furrowed his eyebrows, Tm going to call 911 then, and let them come directly

Heather paused for a moment before saying. “No need. It’s just appendicitis. Ill rest for a bit then come

out. Wait for me. “Okay”

Everett didn’t leave the car, thinking it wouldn’t have looked good for him to meet Heather alone late at

night. So, he brought Jeffrey along to the hospital.

Jeffrey immediately agreed to come along when he heard Heather was sick

Soon, Heather, pale as a ghost, walked out of the villa

She got in the passenger seat and looked at Everett, who seemed to want to say something but didn’t.

“Buckle up, Jeffrey has already contacted the hospital. If it’s an emergency, you could have surgery

tonight”

“Thank you…

Heather tugged at her bloodless lips and leaned back in the seat

the car, it was just the two of them. A slight turn of her head and she could see his deeply handsome

side profile.

Bathed in the light filtering through the windshield, Everett’s facial lines were sharp and refined, as if

meticulously sculpted by God himself.

at it felt like to be

From the moment she first laid eyes on Everett, she knew what it felt like to be smitten.

Heather remembered back then, Bella was adamant about not divorcing and even attempted suicide.

She and her mother had to hide out all over Havenbrook City before finally being taken in by the Lopez

family due to her mother’s old schoolmate connection with Everett’s father.

Everett was just thirteen that year, already towering over her and seemed so good–looking standing

next to his parents!

But it was also that year that she and her mother were forced to leave the country under the pretense

of studying abroad and were sent to Elysian Country

So, she resented her father, Bella, and especially Dorothy!

Heather always had one thought in her mind, “Why should I struggle and work my guts out just to get

close to Everett, while Dorothy could easily move into his house?

For all those years, Heather had never once had the chance to enter Everett’s private space, not even

once!

“Will she…throw a fit if you leave her alone at home?”

Heather still couldn’t bear to say Dorothy’s name, so she referred to her as “sho“,

Maybe it was because of the pain, her voice was weak, but she was obviously concerned for Everett

“That’s why Jeffrey will Joke care of you later”

Hearing about her situation, and considering that he lived close by Everett decided to help

After all, ever since Heather moved back, she’d been constantly busy with company matters. He even

saw that she was online in the company’s internal software just now it wouldn’t have been right to

refuse her.

“Oh, then you should have brought her along earlier so she doesn’t get the wrong idea.”

“She wasn’t feeling well today.” Everett figured that Dorothy probably wouldn’t have wanted anyone to

see her face swollen from a slap.
