Seeing Everett's firm stance, Dorothy had said all there was to say. The rest was up to him.

He didn't want Dorothy to back down for his sake, nor could he truly ignore his mother's critical condition.
As Everett had anticipated, Amanda was indeed hospitalized. The situation was grim.
When he arrived at the hospital, Jonathan was sitting outside the emergency room, his usually upright posture now slumped. Given Bella's lawsuit, he hadn't had a proper rest in days. In the glitzy, high society they lived in, Jonathan's level of care for his wife was rare.
Most couples at this point would wish the other dead sooner, just so the assets wouldn't be split.
Hearing footsteps, Jonathan turned and saw Everett. He immediately stood up, his expression shifting from surprise to displeasure in an instant.

"You're tellingyou didn't answer any of my calls because it wasn't her doing?" Jonathan scoffed, though he knew this wasn't the tto argue with his son, he couldn't hold back his displeasure.
"I am telling you, why wouldn't I?" Everett retorted coldly, "Including the fact I'm here now, it was Dorothy who persuadedto come." "The person inside there is your mother!" "That's why I'm here." If it wasn't his mom lying there, he wouldn't have bothered coming.
"You!" Jonathan was so angered he couldn't form a complete sentence.
Everett, however, was indifferent, glancing at the emergency room's illuminated red light and pursing his lips, "As long as you target Dorothy, reconciliation is impossible." "Fine! I, Jonathan, raised a son, only for Dorothy in the end! You'd abandon your own parents!" "I've always wondered, in your eyes, is Dorothy's lack of family background a mistake?" It all cback to them believing Dorothy wasn't good enough for the Lopez family, unworthy of stepping through the Lopez family's vel.n threshold, didn't it? But one's background isn't something they can choose! "Aiming too high for the Lopez family, that's her mistake! She can be poor, but she should've found man of her own standing, no one would've spoken ill of her!" velmet Jonathan, too, was heated, his words harsh. Hearing his son consistently defend another woman, ready to confront his own parents, as if he wished to sever ties, Jonathan couldn't stay calm.
"I told you, it waswho pursued Dorothy." Everett stared at him, each word deliberate, "It wasbegging her, forcing her to accept me." "With so many women out there, it had to be her?" "With so many women out there, it has to be her!" Jonathan, furious, realized he was powerless! He paced back and forth, then raised his head to look at his son, "Now, your mother and I have compromised. The one unwilling to let go is Dorothy!" * Privacy
