Chapter 70

As soon as he left, Heather, despite her fmil cerdition, managed to squeeze out a polite smile. “Sorry,

Everett. I’m afraid III have to postpone a few contracts I’m working on! But don’t worry, Ill be back on

track soon. Jeffrey promised to bring my laptop to the hospital!*

Everett admired her work ethic, but as president, he had to discourage such kind of reckless behavior

“You need to rest. The legal department doesn’t solely depend on you. 111 get Kevin and Dorothy to

pick up the slack.”

‘Nol

Heather’s voice rose at the mention of Dorothy’s name. She realized her outburst was inappropriate,

“Sorry, I just don’t like others getting involved in my work. It’s not personal! Besides, I have nothing to

do in the hospital. Working might actually be fun.”

“Your health comes first.”

“I’m really fine‘ By the way, Everett, because of my sudden surgery, I can’t fly out to see Amanda this

week. She called me just now, and ‘she’s heard about it. So she’s planning to come back to the

country”

Everett’s mother was coming back?

His eyebrows furrowed, ‘She’s not fit for long fights.”

“I told her the same, but she insists on coming to see me, worried that I won’t have anyone to take care

of me after the surgery”

“We can hire more nurses for you. She won’t be able to take care of you even if she comes.”

“Yeah, I told her the same.”

He had a headache coming on, “Til talk her out of it.”

“Everett Heather started suddenly. “Are you against Amanda coming back because of her health, or

because of Dorothy?

Caught off guard, Everett just gave her a glance, not responding

“You know Amanda won’t like Dorothy. I suggest you don’t tell her yet Heather switched back to her

friendly tone. “Otherwise, all the previous treatment would be wasted, and it could even be worse.”

1ll consider it carefully

When Dorothy returned to the Bay Residence, her sense of relief didn’t last long.

Seeing the spacious house empty, she couldn’t help but imagine Everett and Heather at the hospital

Were they hugging each other tightly?

Or was Everett gently stroking Heather’s face, tencerly applying medicine, just like he had cone for

her?

Frustrated, Dorothy shook her head to rid herself of such thoughts.

She decided to do some housework!

Keeping busy would have prevented her mind from wardening

However after dusting from the bedroom to the living room, she realized something

Everett, the clear freak, kept his place spotless! There was not a speck of dust anywhere.

What time did he wake up in the morning?

Just as Dorothy was L’about to give up and return to her room, she noticed his study com door was ajar

He wouldn’t mind if she went in to pick a book, right?

Sneaking in like a tivel, she switched on the light and scanned the book lined walls.

Then suddenly, Dorothy spotted a few neatly aranged middle school textbooks!

Those were more. She had no idea where her can were.

Intrigued, she pulled one out, but before she could flip through it, she noticed a latter that came out with

it.

Dorothy picked it up from the floor. The envelope had a few words written in a strong and forceful

handwriting

“Do you know the secret of 08257”
