GoodReadSurely, Everett could anticipate the shock on Kevin's face upon receiving this message.
After all, it wasn't a request he would typically make. Yet Everett felt a certain connection to the little girl, and he was certain that they were bound to cross paths again.
Dorothy was in the hospital until late in the evening, and it was at this time that Karen called to check on her. Unable to keep it a secret any longer, she confessed that she had been hospitalized.

"Let's see what sort of jerk did this to you!" Karen shouted while bursting through the door.
"Hush! This is a hospital! Keep it down!" Dorothy quickly gestured for her to zip it with her index finger, shooting Karen a reassuring smile. "I'm okay. I'm still alive and kicking." "But you were attacked, and you're saying you're okay? Dorothy, quit your job! It's too dangerous!" Karen, with her hands on her hips, was raging at Dorothy's bedside, looking every bit ready to do whatever it took to get Dorothy to agree.
Dorothy knew Karen was just worried about her, but...
"Karen, | need money to recover that footage. If | don't earn enough, | give up my right to the truth!" This was her mother we were talking about. The woman who struggled to raise her couldn't be allowed to die in vain, leaving her helpless without even a shred of evidence.
"You need money? It's easy. Just agree to date my cousin..." "Karen!" Dorothy cut her off.
Karen pouted and turned away, visibly upset.
Abigail didn't fully understand their argument, but upon seeing the IV needle in her mom's hand, she immediately moved closer as her big eyes welled up with tears. "Mommy... does it hurt?" Dorothy quickly smiled and pulled herself up to cradle her daughter. "Mommy's fine; don't cry. A smiling Abigail is much prettier than a crying one." "Did someone bully Mommy? Abigail will fight them!" Abigail wrapped her small arms around her mother’s neck, warmly nuzzling against her. "Abigail is grown up now. | can protect Mommy!" "Yes. My Abigail is the best." Dorothy stroked her hair and then took a deep breath, as if she were making a major decision.

Dorothy nodded. "I can't deprive my child of a mother's love, but it's too dangerous here. It's better to leave.” She realized that as long as she was here, she couldn't let go of thoughts that she shouldn't entertain.
Even if she could deceive herself, she couldn't fool her heart.
Even when she was in danger, she would hallucinate hearing his voice.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized she couldn't go on like this.
"Fine, whatever you decide, | will support you. Anyway, if you leave, I'm coming with you. My cousin is also abroad, so he can take care of me. You both can't get rid of me that easily!" "Karen, thank you for everything you've done for me over the years." "Stop, stop, stop!" Karen rolled her eyes. "I don't want to hear that. | just want you to stay out of danger." Just as Dorothy was about to respond, she noticed a figure slipping past the hospital room door. It was a male doctor.
It wasn't Lane or Austin.
