GoodReadWhen the phone call ended, Jonathan didn't bother sending anyone else to intervene.
He figured if his wife saw the look in their son's eyes just now, she'd likely have second thoughts as well.
Just from that one look, he had no doubt that Everett would cut ties with him for the sake of Dorothy.
After leaving the hospital, Everett got straight into the car.
Even without being told, Kevin knew where to drive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the road, Everett kept calling Dorothy, but no one was picking up.
"Did you get a hold of Dorothy today?" "No. She said she was going for a check-up. | figured she'd finally taken a day off, so it wouldn't be fair to bother her about work." Kevin paused before continuing, "After you instructed me, | tried calling her too, but there was still no answer." Everett's thick brows furrowed as his eyes became glued to his phone screen.
The car soon arrived at the Bay Residence, and sure enough, the house was empty.
Dorothy wasn’t home.
While looking at the darkening sky outside, he was more certain that something had happened to Dorothy.
After a moment's thought, Everett barked out another order to Kevin. “Drive to the hospital where Dorothy’s mother is.” “Sure thing, Mr. Lopez.” Just as the two were about to head to the hospital, they noticed a car driving their way.
Given that the Bay Residence was a high-end property with few owners and Everett's property was a private area he had specifically set aside, he was almost certain that Dorothy was in the car.
Just as Everett was about to open the car door, he saw the car stop.
A familiar figure got out from the driver's side, walked over to the passenger side, and started talking to the person inside.
It was Kenneth.
Instead of continuing his action, Everett just watched.
Soon, Kenneth bent down and helped the person in the passenger seat out, and when that small face appeared, Everett's pupils involuntarily contracted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf it wasn't Dorothy, then who was it? Seeing this, Kevin, who was in the driver's seat, was stunned. Was he watching his boss get cuckolded live? "Mr. Lopez, Ms. Sanchez might be..." Before he could finish his sentence, the person in the back seat had already gotten out of the car and was striding mercilessly towards them.
"How are you feeling? Should I..." Kenneth's was cut off mid-sentence when the person he was supporting was taken away.
After looking up, Dorothy was already in Everett's arms.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He looked down at Dorothy, his voice devoid of any hint of joy, anger, or jealousy.
"I'm fine." Dorothy's response was cold and calm, but she put on a smile for Kenneth. "Thanks for driving me home; you should go back and rest." Kenneth glanced at Everett. He wanted to say something but decided against it.
He simply nodded. "I'll accompany you tomorrow." "Mmm." Dorothy nodded, watching as he got into his car and drove away.
Everett quickly caught the key point of their conversation. "What is he accompanying you for tomorrow?" "Nothing." Dorothy seemed very tired. Her eyes were downcast, as if she didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
Kevin, who had rushed over, afraid that they might argue, quickly interjected. "Mr. Lopez was worried about you. When you didn't answer your phone, he immediately left his parents, who were still at the hospital, to come find you." "Really?" Her tone was still devoid of any fluctuations.
"Dorothy." Everett knew something must have happened. He tried to catch her gaze but failed. "What exactly happened?”
