Dorothy couldn't care less about breakfast. She made a beeline for the hospital.
Bella seemed to have had a plan this time. Even her escape route was all figured out.
"There's a back gate in our yard, and the gardener passes through it every afternoon to take care of the plants and trees. After doing the rounds, he leaves. That's when she sneaked out.” The hospital immediately took this matter seriously and pulled up the security footage.
The two bodyguards stationed at the door of room V1 were on pins and needles, fearing that Mr. Lopez would lay the blame on them.

If Bella wanted to make a run for it, no one could have stopped her.
"So, what do we do now? Should we contact Mr. Lopez?" "No, don't tell him." Dorothy shook her head, not wanting to distract Everett with this.
She sat down and thought hard.
Why did her mom suddenly want to leave the hospital? Although she could move around after the surgery, each step was still painful. If she insisted on leaving despite this, there must have been something she needed to do.
What could it be? Suddenly, Dorothy thought of Heather.
If she returned to Eldorria City, maybe her mom returned too.
Who else could have passed the note to her mom and told her about her daughter selling her body for medical expenses? Dorothy quickly found Heather's phone number. But as she was about to call, she caught sight of her mom returning to the room.
"Mom!" She called out and rushed towards her.
Bella seemed shocked. She stared at her daughter for a while before speaking up, "Did they... bully you?" "Who told you that? No! They just want to upset you and cause your heart disease to act up!" But Bella stubbornly looked at her and then pulled out a video.

It was a video of people at the company gossiping behind her back. Someone had deliberately filmed it and sent it to her mom.
"Don't listen to them. The company will make its own judgments. | don't even care about it." "Is this the doing of that vixen and her daughter?” "No, it's just friction between colleagues." "Dorothy, I've seen that woman." Bella suddenly spoke up. "And her daughter.” Dorothy was taken aback.
"I knew something was off when you asked me about it that day. Don't hide things from me." Bella had gone out to see who this Heather was and if she was the daughter of that woman from years ago.
At first glance, Bella was already certain.
Dorothy felt a headache coming on as she helped her mom back to the bed.
"Mom, no matter what, you should focus on not letting these things affect your mood. Pretend you didn't see it. | can handle it." "They bullied me back then, and now they're bullying my daughter. If | let this go, | don't deserve to be your mother!" Bella thought for a moment, then looked at her daughter. "Dorothy, can you find me a powerful TV station? I've made up my mind. I'm going to tell the world about everything."
