GoodRead"You can't just leave the hospital, Dorothy! Otherwise, I'll tie you to the bed myself, and you're not going anywhere!" Kenneth had indulged her once already, letting her get drenched in the rain all night. Now that she knew Everett had gone abroad for treatment, she should be calming down! Dorothy looked at him, his determination clear, then turned her gaze to Karen.
"Karen, I..." "Abigail has been scared out of her wits because of what happened to Heather. She cries her eyes out as soon as it gets dark.
Even Langston and | try to soothe her, it doesn’t work! Dorothy, don't you care about them?" Her children...

Just when Karen and Kenneth thought she had come to her senses, Dorothy said, "Could you hand me my phone, please?" Kenneth exchanged a look with Karen before turning around to fetch Dorothy's phone.
Taking the phone with her bandaged hand, Dorothy powered it on. It was inundated with unread messages and missed calls, most from Lane.
But she wasn't in the mood to confront Lane. Instead, she scrolled to Kevin's number and dialed.
The phone rang over and over until it was almost cut off automatically when finally, someone on the other end picked up.
"Ms. Sanchez." "Kevin, I..." "I know what you're going to ask! But | can't tell you anything due to the chairman's orders!" Kevin felt that the couple belonged together, but he couldn't bear the consequences.
Dorothy's mouth fell open, her fingers digging into the phone, "Is he... awake?" She didn't dare to ask if Everett was dead, so she went straight to whether he had regained consciousness.
There was a long sigh on the other end, "I didn't go with him. They left me behind to deal with the company matters. | don't know anything specific!” Kevin was just as anxious about Mr. Lopez's condition, but with his status, he couldn't just call the chairman to ask! "If he wakes up... he'll look for me. He'll worry about me. | need to be by his side!" "Ms. Sanchez, if | get any news, I'll let you know right away! I've got to go now, I'm sorry.” He hung up abruptly. When Dorothy tried to call back, the phone was turned off.

Seeing her still attempting to make calls, Kenneth reached out to stop Dorothy, "Don’t make things difficult for Kevin." Dorothy was in silence.
Karen stood up suddenly, "Dorothy, how about | bring Langston to the hospital to keep you company? Abigail is a bit frightened, so we'll leave her be, but Langston can come!" She thought that if the children were with her in the hospital, it might help distract Dorothy.
Without waiting for approval, Karen dashed out to fetch the children.
Kenneth took Dorothy's phone away, his expression stern, "No one's helping you this time! Stop trying to find Everett." Dorothy ignored him, trying to get up with all her might.
She fell back over and over again until her wounds were nearly split open again! Kenneth, out of desperation, found some rope to tie her to the bed! "Kenneth! Let me go!" "Even if you end up hating me for this, you can't leave." As they spoke, Karen arrived with Langston at the hospital room! At the sight of her son, Dorothy finally calmed down.
Langston ran over and took his mommy's hand, "Mommy, does it hurt?" Tears welled up in Dorothy's eyes, dropping one by one.
The next second, Langston leaned close to his mommy's ear and whispered, "Mommy, his phone's GPS is currently in Mellamo City, Swevia Country."
