âI wonât let you! You have to stay with me Karen peuted rendy to voice her complaints.
Kennethâs gaze suddenly fell on her cheek.
âDorothy, your faceâ¦
Reminded by him. Karen also looked over, and her eyes widened instantly!
âOh my gosh! What happened to you? Your mom didnât hit you again, did she?!â
âNo, no, I really did bump myself this time.â Dorothy awkwardly covered her wound, clearly not willing to
talk about it.
Just as Karen was about to call her out, Kenneth lugged at her from behind and shot her a look,
signaling her to stop talking
âLetâs go. Il help you carry your luggage upstairs. Karen says today is a day of celebration for your
moving in. Iâll treat you guys to a nice
mealâ
âYay! Kenneth, youâre the best! Letâs go, Dorothy. Lets go upstairs!â
Dorothy nodded and followed them.
She habitually took out her phone to check messages.
There were still no messages from Everett No WhatsApp messages, no calls, no activity at all.
But Kevin said he had called Kevin himself in the maming, which means he was awake. He just didnât
want to contact her
Well, that explained a lot.
She wasnât anything important. Why would Everett have bothered in contact her after waking up from a
car accident?
In the VIP ward of the hospital
The doctor was changing the dressing on Everetts wounds.
Fortunately, his lace wasnât too damaged. There was just a slight concussion from hitting has forehead
and leaning forward due inertia, plus various scrapes on his arms and legs.
âWhereâs my phone? Give it to meâ He frowned slightly. Perhaps because the medication was reacting
with the wound.
Jeffrey handed over the phone, watching him open WhatsApp and the chat with Derothy, where the last
message she sent was displayed
[My moms really emotional right now. You really shouldnât come!]
âYou can lock at it a thousand times, but it wonât change the fact that she doesnât care about you at all.â
At those words, Everett looked up at him abruptly, s gloomy handsome face instantly dropping the
temperature in the room.
I
Jeffrey instinctively shrank back, Iâm just telling the truth. Sheâs clearly feeling guilty, thatâs why shes
afraid of you coming! I sent you the hospital corr der surveillance video. She told someone else that the
guy she brought was her boyfriend! Tell me, Everell, has she ever introduced you like that to her
mom?â
Obviously not
She was always cautious, keeping a safe distance
As if she was alrad of getting involved with him beyond their contract.
âDoes she know about my car accident?â
His voice was fembly hoarse when he spoke.
âYes, Heather felt bad for you and called her,â
âDid she come? Freti asked quickly
Jeffrey frowned, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly changed his mind, âYes, she came,
but she left quickly! She didnât even wat outside the emergency room.â
Everett didnât say anything
Like I said, she has no feelings for you. Ne maller now much you give, all you get in return is
heartbreak! Youâre the CEO of the Loper Corporation, and you can have any woman you want. Why
hang yourself on this too?â
Jeffrey rambled on and on, but Everett obviously wasnât listening.
After a while, he slowly spoke, âDid she really leave quickly?â
Jeffrey was taken aback, and it took him a few seconds to nod. âYes! Did you see her when you were
pushed out of the emergency room?â
He did not
Of course, it was because he was transfered to another emergency room hallway through, but Dorothy
didnât know that.
âLetâs stop talking about this! So far, has the initiated contact with you? Everett, if she cared about you,
how could she not send you a message?
Jeffreyâs words hit Everett right in the feels.
