Chapter 96

It’s even worse than working overtime for a whole week.

Bella let out a sigh too. “Honey I know I shouldn’t always instill this fear of marriage in you. After all,

youll have to get manied eventually and have a home of your own to rry on, But just can’t help

worrying! Heel like all men are up to no good.”

Thinking back, Dorothy’s father was also gentle and considerate, without a single flaw. It was that fact

that made Bella fall head over heels for him, even blocking her own way out

“Mom, don’t think about those things. You have surgery tomorrow You should rest more. She tucked

her mother in and smiled. “Finally, the surgery is happening. Nothing else matters to me.”

She had been waiting for that day for a very long time.

After she put her mother to sleep, she found herse I too excited to sleep.

She opened the internal software of the Lopez Corporation on her computer, wanting to organize her

fides again, but every time, she couldn’t help but look at Everell’s account.

He was still crine.

Everett, the CEO, was really dedicated

Dorothy stared at the screen for a while before she realized she was doing something only a love–

struck woman would de

She quickly looked away, but she couldn’t get Everett’s face out of her mind. That made her lose the

mood to work, so she closed her computer and forced herself to sleep

After who knew how long she finally managed to fall asleep in her drowsy state, she heard someone

calling her name

She opened her eyes and

mother dressed and sitting on hed. Next to her were Kenneth and his parents

“You’re finally awake. You were working late again last night, weren’t you? My daughter is just so

career–driven”

Her mother’s words brought her back to reality. She quickly got up, “Why…why are you guys here?”

Kenneth gave her a reassuring look and told her not to panic

Bella out in,” asked them to come. I was worried you would be too busy waiting outside the operating

room by yourself. If Kenneth is here with you, III feel more at ease.

“Yes, Dorothy, we’re here to keep you company” Kenneths mom was a very amiable woman. Even

though she had only met Dorothy for the second time, she really liked her and warmly took her hand.

Watching that scene, Bella felt that she had achieved her goat

Her aim was to repeatedly secure a place in the family for her daughter to let the Nelser family know

that if they mistreated her daughter, she would not have taken it lying down.

Soon, a nurse came to lead the patient to the operating mom.

The red light outside lit up, and the words ‘in surgery” made Dorothy’s heart race.

Suddenly, she fell a jacket being draped over her. A refreshing mint scent filled her nostrils.

She turned around subconsciously

It was Kenneth,

“You’re not dressed warmly enough Youll catch a cold.”

Tm fine.” Dorothy declined his jacket. Also, I’m really sorry! I didn’t know my mom went in bother you

again.”

Tve told you belove, as long as your mom is at ease, it’s finel Karen told me earlier that you’ve been

working like crazy to save up for this surgery: Now that we’re finally hem, the most important thing is to

make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Dorothy lacked down and thought for a long time belom she finally spoke in a soft valse, ‘Mr. Nelson,

you’ve seen the situation in my family. The doctor said that my mother’s surgery won’t be a one time fix

and could relapse of any time in the future. So, we’re not suitable.”
