GoodRead"You..." "I won't bother Ms. Heather to get your stuff. Mr. Lopez is still waiting." Ignoring Heather's angry glare, Kevin went straight into the elevator after he finished speaking.
Fury made Heather's hands clench tightly, and her body shook unconsciously! Then everyone was laughing at her! Even Kevin felt free to ride roughshod over her! Only time would have told whether Everett would personally welcome her back.
In the hospital ward, Bella was lying there listening to some music, thoroughly enjoying herself.
It was a CD Kenneth had painstakingly found for her. It was hard to find in stores now.

He didn't want her to overthink! "You, a university professor, are willing to lower yourself to give me a leg massage?" Bella quirked an eyebrow at him.
"Look at what you're saying. Even if I'm a university principal, I'm still the younger one. Isn't it my duty to take care of you? Dorothy is busy with work, has lots of things to do, and | happen to be free today." He said, and then he started massaging Bella's leg.
Surprisingly, his technique was not bad at all. The pressure was just right.
Bella's face showed a rare hint of a smile, but her eyes were still scrutinizing him.
"It's pointless to try and curry favor with me. But | can't control my daughter's feelings.” Kenneth gave a helpless smile, "You're overthinking. | just see her as my sister, like Karen. | don't think about anything else.” "Huh." Bella hummed, looking like she saw through his thoughts, "Would men be so attentive if they didn't have an ulterior motive?" Kenneth didn't refute, just kept smiling and never stopped his hands.
Although Bella was still on her guard, at least she was willing to hang around with Kenneth.
Until Dorothy's call came, "Mom, I'll be at the hospital in about half an hour. Is there anything you want to eat?" "Nothing." Bella glanced at Kenneth, and was just about to say something when Kenneth hurriedly made a gesture to stop her.
After hanging up the phone, Bella raised an eyebrow and asked Kenneth, "Why didn't you let me tell her? Aren't all the things you're doing meant to make my daughter notice?" "You're really overthinking, I'm just here to keep you company when she's not available! If Dorothy knew, she would feel awkward with me." Kenneth squinted his eyes and smiled, "What if she orders me not to come again? How am | going to keep you company then?" "Huh, smooth talker." "If you think so, then so be it!" Kenneth glanced at his watch, "Bella, she's coming over. | should get going! Don't tell her | was here." After getting a nod, he tidied up a bit and left the hospital.
Just as he was leaving, he saw Dorothy getting out of a black car not far away.

The two were talking about something, and then Dorothy waved her hand and went into the hospital.
Kenneth tugged at the corner of his mouth, and was about to look away and leave when he unexpectedly made eye contact with Everett.
He thought that Everett was about to come over to pick a fight or give a warning after seeing him, but he just glanced at him for a few seconds, not even bothering to acknowledge his presence, and walked back to his car.
Kenneth could sense that kind of unseen pressure even from a great distance.
No wonder he was the CEO of the Lopez Corporation. Merely the aura he exuded inadvertently was something ordinary people couldn't fake.
