"I wasn't fooling around.” "But you shouldn't take Dorothy so seriously. Amanda has always had her heart set on Heather as her daughter-in-law. Aren't you afraid of upsetting her again? Even if Heather doesn't mean anything to you, what about Amanda? She's your own mother.” Everett didn't answer. He just pursed his lips without saying a word.
His tall figure was half submerged in the darkness.
The light at the entrance of the emergency room suddenly went out, and the doctor walked out, removing his mask.

It has been re-sutured, and she should be out soon." "So there's no life-threatening danger, right?" "Uh-huh, but you need to be careful. She had abdominal surgery, so if an infection occurs, it could get dicey.” The doctor left after speaking.
Jeffrey finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing she was okay.
After turning around, he saw Everett about to leave.
He quickly caught up and grabbed his arm. "Are you seriously leaving now? That's pretty heartless. Heather is about to come out. At the very least, help me push her into the ward. She doesn't have many friends here. It's just you and me." "I have to go. Dorothy got scared when she saw the blood." Even though he left in a hurry, he caught a glimpse of Dorothy looking lost.
"Aren't you afraid that Heather will get upset and report Dorothy for intentional harm?" If he wasn't worried about that, why would he have carried Heather to the hospital himself? He was worried that if Heather didn't get medical attention in time and something happened, Dorothy, as the person involved, wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
Heather naturally felt happy when she saw Everett. She couldn't take her eyes off him.
"I'm okay, don't worry." She said weakly, "Don't blame Dorothy... She didn't mean to push me." Everett didn't say a word, but Jeffrey frowned.
"You're lying here like this, and yet you're still thinking about all that?! Besides, you shouldn't have seen Dorothy at a time like this. She's been claiming that you framed her." "Don't talk about her like that... Everett's here. Anyway, she's Everett's girlfriend.” Heather was unwilling to admit that the two of them were already married.

Everett's handsome face was showing impatience.
"Everett, there's still a lot to do at the company, right? You go ahead; Jeffrey is here with me." Heather was reluctant, but she needed to maintain her image.
"Mmm." Everett didn't bother with civilities. He just nodded slightly and walked away.
Upon seeing this, Jeffrey snorted. "Why are you playing the magnanimous card? | had a hard time keeping him here." "What can he do here? His heart is already with Dorothy.” Heather said with a bitter smile. "You see, even though Dorothy sent me to the hospital, Everett doesn't intend to blame her. As for the truth about the SinoSuccess Enterprises project, does it matter? Everett only believes her; maybe in the end, | will be the scapegoat for Dorothy." "No way! Who would believe that you would frame Dorothy? It's ridiculous to even say it!"
