The news from the hospital didn't just fill Karen with joy; Sienna was over the moon as well. In contrast, Kenneth remained remarkably composed. After his mother was discharged from the hospital, he called Karen for a private chat.
"Could you find stto have Dorothy swing by the hospital?" "Bro," Karen wasn't unwilling to comply, but after so much thad passed, she genuinely wished her cousin could move on, "Can you please stop dwelling on Dorothy? Even if you decide moving forward without Eleanor is what you want, I support you. But you need to start a new chapter, not keep looking back." "I'm about to head overseas, I just want to see her, that's all." Kenneth's sincerity was hard to ignore. Karen knew her brother seldom asked for favors, and now that he had, it was difficult for her to say no. "Okay, I'll reach out to Dorothy! If she's up for it—" "If it's about asking, I can do that myself." Kenneth cut her off gently, "I want to give her a reason to cwithout leaving room for rejection."

True to form, Dorothy arrived at the hospital in a rush an hour later.
Upon entering, she was greeted by Karen's awkward smile.
"Dorothy..." Dorothy froze, glancing between Kenneth and her best friend, "Didn't you say Kenneth was... throwing a hunger strike or something?" That didn't seem to be the case at all.
Kenneth caught on and chuckled, "Yeah, I was 'on a hunger strike."" Karen forced a smile and took a few steps back, "Look, Dorothy, maybe you can talk ssense into my brother. My daughter needs me, so I'll head out." With that, she darted away, leaving the room to the two of them.
After all, if she was going to bend the truth for him, this was the last time.
Once she was gone, Dorothy had pretty much pieced together what was happening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe sighed, "Kenneth, if you wanted to see me, you could've just told me. There was no need to have Karen deceive me." Hearing Karen's urgent tone earlier, Dorothy almost thought she was rushing to the hospital to see Kenneth one last time! "If I had told you directly that I wanted to see you, would you have come?" Kenneth's voice remained gentle. Over the years, his demeanor towards Dorothy never changed.
Truth be told, Dorothy couldn't argue with that.
Had Kenneth reached out himself, she might not have come.
Dorothy nodded, "Yes, I heard." "They say the doctors overseas are incredible, capable of curing even cases like mine." Kenneth's gaze settled on her.
Observing her slender, weary face.
