GoodReadAll these things, they were all wounds he had inflicted on her himself. He was the last person who had any right to say he could protect her.

I saw her today, looking all skin and bones, and knew something was off!" "You knowing won't change a thing." Everett wasn't mad about losing the cigarette; it was probably for the best anyway, since Dorothy hated the smell of smoke.
He turned to leave, but Kenneth quickly stepped in front of him and blocked his way.
"Everett!" Everett didn't even look at him but simply said coldly, "She's fine. I won't let anything happen to her." Huxley and Paloma Turner rushed back to Eldorria City non-stop. The moment they landed, they headed straight to the hospital.
"Karen, you've been through a lot!" Paloma said, holding Karen's hand. Her concern was genuinely heartfelt, not just ssuperficial show of sympathy.

In that moment, Karen seemed to have suddenly grown up. The carefree little girl she used to be seemed like a thing of the past.
"I'm not going htoday; I'll stay here overnight! I'm worried the night nurse won't take good care of my granddaughter. I want to be here myself!" Despite the jet lag keeping Paloma awake for over twenty hours, she was too excited to feel tired. "You should go hand sleep. Please let Jeffrey stay tonight." Huxley finally spoke.
It wasn't that he was worried about his wife; he just felt that with a newborn, there were surely a lot of things they needed to discuss .n privately between the couple! With his wife around, those conversations would be difficult to have. Paloma caught on to her husband's hint and reluctantly nodded, "Right, right! I'll cback early tomorrow!" "Okay." Karen smiled, then looked up at Dorothy, "Dorothy, you and Everett should probably head back too. The hospital has a night nurse and doctors; I'll be fine. Plus, you have Abigail and Langston waiting at home." She was too exhausted today to inquire why Dorothy had lost so much weight.
"Alright, just callif you need anything. Don't keep it from me." Dorothy said, finishing her sentence just as Everett and Kenneth returned to the room.
She moved closer to Everett, her voice soft, "Shall we go back? Let's give Karen srest." "Okay." After Jeffrey saw everyone out, he returned to the room and lifted his daughter from her crib to Karen's side, whispering, "Karen... I'm already worried about spunk swooping in and stealing my girl. What do we do? Karen had predicted he would react this way upon meeting his daughter.
"I'll spoil her! She can have all my money. I'll make her so spoiled she won't look twice at any guy." After. saying this, Jeffrey sighed, "Do you think. Call the bad karma I've racked up could end up affecting my daughter?"
