"I won't let you! You have to stay with me!" Karen pouted, ready to voice her complaints.

Kenneth's gaze suddenly fell on her cheek.

"Dorothy, your face..." Reminded by him, Karen also looked over, and her eyes widened instantly! "Oh my gosh! What happened to you? Your mom didn't hit you again, did she?!" "No, no, | really did bump myself this time." Dorothy awkwardly covered her wound, clearly not willing to talk about it.

Just as Karen was about to call her out, Kenneth tugged at her from behind and shot her a look, signaling her to stop talking.

"Let's go. I'll help you carry your luggage upstairs. Karen says today is a day of celebration for your moving in. I'l treat you guys to a nice meal." "Yay! Kenneth, you're the best! Let's go, Dorothy. Let's go upstairs!" Dorothy nodded and followed them.

She habitually took out her phone to check messages.

There were still no messages from Everett. No WhatsApp messages, no calls, no activity at all.

But Kevin said he had called Kevin himself in the morning, which means he was awake. He just didn't want to contact her.

Well, that explained a lot.

She wasn't anything important. Why would Everett have bothered to contact her after waking up from a car accident? In the VIP ward of the hospital.

The doctor was changing the dressing on Everett's wounds.

Fortunately, his face wasn't too damaged. There was just a slight concussion from hitting his forehead and leaning forward due to inertia, plus various scrapes on his arms and legs.

"Where's my phone? Give it to me." He frowned slightly. Perhaps because the medication was reacting with the wound.

Jeffrey handed over the phone, watching him open WhatsApp and the chat with Dorothy, where the last message she sent was displayed.

[My mom's really emotional right now. You really shouldn't come!] "You can look at it a thousand times, but it won't change the fact that she doesn't care about you at all.” At those words, Everett looked up at him abruptly, his gloomy handsome face instantly dropping the temperature in the room.

Jeffrey instinctively shrank back, "I'm just telling the truth. She's clearly feeling guilty, that's why she's afraid of you coming! | sent you the hospital corridor surveillance video. She told someone else that the guy she brought was her boyfriend! Tell me, Everett, has she ever introduced you like that to her mom?" Obviously not.

She was always cautious, keeping a safe distance.

As if she was afraid of getting involved with him beyond their contract.

"Does she know about my car accident?" His voice was terribly hoarse when he spoke.

"Yes, Heather felt bad for you and called her." "Did she come?" Everett asked quickly.

Jeffrey frowned, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he suddenly changed his mind, "Yes, she came, but she left quickly! She didn't even wait outside the emergency room." Everett didn’t say anything.

"Like | said, she has no feelings for you. No matter how much you give, all you get in return is heartbreak! You're the CEO of the Lopez Corporation, and you can have any woman you want. Why hang yourself on this tree?" Jeffrey rambled on and on, but Everett obviously wasn't listening.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Did she really leave quickly?" Jeffrey was taken aback, and it took him a few seconds to nod, "Yes! Did you see her when you were pushed out of the emergency room?" He did not.

Of course, it was because he was transferred to another emergency room halfway through, but Dorothy didn't know that.

"Let's stop talking about this! So far, has she initiated contact with you? Everett, if she cared about you, how could she not send you a message?"
