GoodReadEverett was coming? Dorothy almost dropped her phone, standing straight up from her chair.
That startled Bella, "What now?" "Nothing. | just got a message from the boss. Need to send some data; I'll make a call outside.” She didn’t even have time to give Kenneth a look, rushing out the door.
Everett couldn't come! It took so much effort to cover up the lie. If he showed up, who knew what would have happened? Wasn't it Heather's birthday that day? How did he have time to come to the hospital? Dorothy frantically called Everett, but after several attempts, the phone rang, but he didn’t pick up! She was on pins and needles, sending him several messages.
[Don't come right now! We can talk when | get back.] [My mom's not in a good mood now. Really, don't come!] But those messages also got no response. It was as if Everett had suddenly disappeared! Dorothy waited for ten more minutes at the hospital entrance, but there was still no sign of him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, Everett must have seen the message, right? Or maybe something came up at the company, and he went back for a meeting! Otherwise, he should have arrived at the hospital by then.
Confirming his car wasn't there, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in the ward, Kenneth's parents had arrived, carrying more expensive supplements than Kenneth had bought! Bella scrutinized their faces, ensuring Kenneth was not trying to fool her with two temporary actors. Her attitude improved a bit.
"Please sit. I'm sorry that | can't stand and greet you properly. Dorothy, go get some fruits for them." "Okay." After all the hustle, the result was good, and Bella agreed to the scheduled surgery.
After sending Kenneth's family away, Dorothy glanced at the time.
It was nine o'clock.
One hour until Everett wanted her back at Bay Residence.
She rechecked her WhatsApp, but still no message from Everett.
Dorothy was a bit puzzled. Even if he had a meeting, it surely couldn’t have lasted that long! Then suddenly, her phone rang.
She thought it was Everett, but when she checked the screen, it was Heather's number.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hello, Ms. Heather." Although she didn't want to pick up, for the sake of her job, Dorothy had to.
"Where are you?" Dorothy glanced at the hospital gate behind her, "I just left the hospital where my mom is. I'm about to go for dinner." "Everett had a car accident. Come to City General Hospital. | need to ask you something." Everett had an accident? Her heart sank, and she immediately hailed a cab to City General Hospital, not having time to worry about the awkwardness of seeing Heather, only thinking of Everett.
Upon arriving at City General Hospital, Dorothy rushed into the ER.
From a distance, she spotted Heather in a hospital gown, with a tall man by her side.
As she walked over briskly, Dorothy was about to ask.
Heather gave her a harsh slap on the face! The blow left Dorothy's ears ringing.
"If anything happens to Everett, you won't get away with it!" "What are you doing?" Jeffrey didn’t expect the always elegant Heather to be violent, quickly stepping forward to steady her, "You just had surgery! This woman isn’t worth your effort. What if you hurt yourself?"
