Even Karen could see it through. Maybe Dorothy was the only one who failed to get it.
"So you're saying | shouldn't divorce him?" "Of course! Mr. Lopez didn't even mention it. Why would you give up when he’s still holding on?" Karen patted her shoulder, "I can tell that your journey is tough, not just because of Mr. Lopez's mother but also your stubborn mom, But since you're together, just strive for it. Even if... even if you end up separating, at least you won't regret it when you look back!" Dorothy pursed her lips, her voice a bit dry. "But my mom's illness..." "Dorothy, you've been working, supporting the family, and paying hospital bills since you were a kid; it's about time you live for yourself!" Dorothy blinked and stayed silent for a long time.

After another reminder, the doctors finally left.
Relieved, Jonathan held his wife's hand tightly, "You're finally awake! You scared the hell out of me!" Amanda glanced at the people by the bed and deliberately called Heather over, "I'm fine. Poor girl, you've been wronged..." She was clearly hinting at Everett and everyone could see that.
Heather tugged at her lip awkwardly; she leaned down and whispered, "Amanda, Everett is really worried about you. You should talk to him." Amanda retorted, "He probably just wants me to die now, so no one can stop him." The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point as she said this.
Everett knew exactly what his mother was doing. He paused for a moment, then turned to leave.
His father suddenly stopped him, "Il will disown you if you leave the room today!" Heather didn't expect them in a stalemate. She quickly stood up to smooth things over while shooting Everett a look.

Time ticked by and Everett's deep and hoarse voice finally sounded. "I'll go out for a smoke." He strode out, ignoring Heather's mediation.
Amanda closed her eyes in anger, "Even if | really disown him, | must have Heather as my daughter-in-law." "Don't be angry now. I'll talk to him again." Jonathan was worried about his wife's relapse so he quickly comforted her.
Heather also chimed in, "Amanda, your health is the most important thing now! Everything else is a small matter! Besides, I've just returned to the country not long ago and haven't spent much time with Everett. If you push him like this, it will only backfire! How about... giving us some time?" "He's not even broken up with that girl named Dorothy. How can he ever spare any thoughts for you?" "Then I'll find a way to break them up." Heather smiled, her tone still soothing, "Don't worry, things take time. | promise you | won't marry anyone in my life. I'm set on Everett!" Perhaps the words hit Amanda's heart, and she finally smiled.
"You always know how to comfort me! Dorothy doesn't even deserve to be a cleaner in the Lopez family!"
