Chapter 73

Just in time, his assistant bought dinner.

He only messed with Dorothy once. then let her be

But he still drained most of her energy. Even ealing required him to carry her to the dining room

Before sleeping. Everett propped himself up on the bedhead and read a book.

Facing his deep profile. Dorothy wanted to ask about Heather several times, but in the end, she stayed

silent.

She glanced at her phone. The day after the next day would have been the 25th of August

Everett should not be retuming to Bay Residence that day, which was also the deadline her mother had

given her.

The next day. Derathy got busy the moment she arrived at the office

Kevin still had a few big projects in his hands, and he couldn’t focus solely on Social Networking

Service, so he handed over almost everything else to Dorothy.

It was almost noon when she finally lifted her head from a pile of files and documeris, found a staircase

and called Karen.

“By tomorrow, at the latest, I need a guy to accompary me to see my mom.”

“Huh?” Karen was obviously taken aback. “I tried to find someone for you, but he said he can only do it

next week, cant you wa’t a hit -longer?”

“My mom said I have to bring someone to see her within three days, or she will be discharged from the

hospital.”

If possible, Dorothy would have preferred to push the deadline back. It would have been best if it was

pushed back so far that her mother forgot about it.

“Your mom really knows how to squeeze you. Karen clicked her tongue, “What to do? I try to

communicate with my friend agan. worry for now.

After hanging up. Dorothy returned to her office and saw a message from Everell

[The hospital said your mother wants to postpone the operation]

She quickly replied the message.

[No need to postpone! I’ll handle the matter. Thanks for your concern.]

She knew her mother was giving her a veiled warning because she probably thought Dorothy wouldn’t

be bringing anyone.

Dorothy sighed. The thought of Bella made her feel dispirited and frustrated but mostly helpless.

Do you need my help?

Everett’s message come again.

She pulled a wry smile.

Don’t

She would have loved to type, “Yes. I need to take you to the ward to see my mom, be scolded and

threatened. Can you take 117”

But she sighed and replied, “No, she’s just throwing a tantrum over a small matter. fil talk to her. She’s

just a bit scared of the surgery.”

She exited the chat and sent her mother a text.

[Tomorrow, I definitely bring someone over. Don’t make a fuss about postponing the surgery. Its hard to

gather all the specialists]

She had said he piece but Karen didn’t reply even by the end of the workday

With a heavy heart, Dorothy returned to Bay Residence. She couldn’t concentrate on the documents on

her computer at all. Her mind

was full of the maler

It was not like she could have conjured up

nut of thin air to accompany her the next day.

Perhaps sensing Dorothy’s restlessness, Everett returned to the bedroom after finishing his work. His

tall figure stood beside her exuding an overwhelming presence.

“Whats wrong?‘

“Nothing. I just a little headache from reading contracts.”

“You can deal with it tomorrow.”

Everett forcefully shut down her computer, then lay down on the bed.

After come intimate moments, he got up to take a bath.

15001

Suddenly, he paused at the bathroom door, “Tomorrow, I have an important matter”

Dorothy could still feel the warmth of his lips on hers, the next second it was as if she was thrown

directly into

“Oh…” She knew that it was Heather’s birthday.

“Don’t come back before 10 pm tomorrow. Go to your mother first.
