GoodReadAs soon as he said this, not only did Heather on the other end of the phone fall silent, but even Amanda hadn't expected her son to make such a clear declaration in front of her.
The biggest thing in her heart was her son's filial piety.
She thought her son was just trying to struggle a bit more, but as long as she insisted, he would definitely still follow her wishes.
"You guys don't need to plan anything behind my back. It's useless." Everett finished speaking and hung up the call with Heather.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became silent and chilly.
After a while, Amanda moved her lips. "For that woman, you can even disregard your own mother?" "Mom, | can compromise on everything else." "There is nothing else! | won't allow this Dorothy to step into the Lopez family! If she's in, I'm out." Amanda's emotions flared up, and before she could finish speaking, she began to pant heavily.

Everett frowned deeply and quickly helped the doctors take his mother to the emergency room.
In just a few days, this was already the third time Amanda had been sent there.
Her primary doctor specially met with Everett in the emergency room.
"I've stressed again and again that the patient can't have high emotional fluctuations. Why do you have to provoke her?" Everett remained silent. His tall figure stood in front of the bench, still stubborn and persistent.
"For the patient to recover, it requires the joint efforts of doctors and family members. Otherwise, if anything unexpected happens, the hospital will not be responsible.” The doctor didn't dare say anything more; he could only sigh. "Your mother's condition is really serious. She often displays self-harming behaviors. Before | do psychological counseling for her, | have to play some soothing music and speak very carefully to avoid stimulating her." All of these things the doctor said had been told to him many times by other doctors abroad.
If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have agreed to consider marrying Heather at that time.
At that time, he hadn't met Dorothy again yet and was just thinking about stabilizing his mother's condition first.
But now he had already cunningly added Dorothy to his life. How could he give up? Everett waited outside the emergency room until his phone suddenly rang.
It was actually Dorothy.
She rarely took the initiative to contact him.
But at this time, it was probably not good news.
Hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.
"Mr. Lopez, are you free tomorrow?" "No.

"I have a lot of work to do.” "Can't you spare half an hour? | want a quick divorce." Dorothy's voice was very flat. She didn't sound like she was talking about divorce, but more like she was talking about the weather.
So far, she hadn't really understood Everett's persistence.
He knew.
If he wanted Dorothy to truly fall in love with him, there was a long way to go.
Marriage was just the first step, and there were more difficulties to overcome.
Everett didn't speak. He was silent.
"Mr. Lopez? Everett?" Only then did he ask, "Your mother is giving you a hard time, isn't she?" "No. She's just angry." Everett rubbed his forehead. "Can | arrange a meeting with her?"
