"Wanting her to let it go now? What about when she and her mom were begging for mercy?" Everett couldn't help but regret not realizing how ruthless his mother could be, swayed by a few words from Heather into plotting something so vile.

He knew all too well, his mother considered lives as disposable, thinking she could bully Dorothy and her mother without consequence because they had no one to defend them.

"So, what you're saying is, you can't forgive your own mother?" Jonathan gestured towards the closed door of the emergency room, "She's in there, hanging by a thread. Are you happy now?" "No," Everett replied, curt and to the point.

"Ha! You just want your mom out of the picture so you can be with Dorothy without any guilt. What a devoted son you are!" Each word from Jonathan felt like a slap to Everett's face.

But what's done is done, and those who refuse to admit their mistakes don't deserve forgiveness.

"What should I do, marry Heather like you all want?" Everett had been holding back, not wanting to dredge up the past since it wouldn't change anything. But he had reached his breaking point, "Yes, I'm your son, and I'm grateful for your upbringing. But that doesn't give you the right to control my life or anyone else's. Who I marry is my choice, as the law sees fit." There's no law saying parents get to choose their children's spouses, right? "Your mom was just trying to look out for you-" "Am I better off now? Happy? Joyful?" Everett retorted coldly, "When Jeffrey's daughter was born, and he cried with joy holding his baby, do you know how much I envied him? If it wasn't for you, I should've been outside the delivery room, waiting for Dorothy to give birth to my children, holding my son and daughter for the first time!" Who could he share these regrets with? "I..." Jonathan hadn't expected his usually reserved son to spill so much in one go. And he had no words to counter any of it.

"Four years, for four whole years, I didn't even know my children existed in this world!" "But Dorothy didn't tellshe was pregnant then." Everett laughed bitterly.

"If she had, I wouldn't have my children today." et And Dorothy might have been. silenced just like her mother. After all, if they could plot to kill Dorothy's mom, what's stopping them from killing Dorothy too? "Your mem was just misled by Heather! You know she's mentally ill," Jonathan sighed, "I know she was wrong, and I've wanted to scold her, to argue with her! We've fought about this! But... she's still my wife, and if I don't stand by her, who will?" "My mom might be ill, but she's an adult responsible for her actions." This had been Everett's firm belief ever since he learned the truth.

Jonathan covered his face with his hand, "I thought I had it all figurech out, but look at us now, a complete mess! Everett, this isn't whatd wanted."
