Chapter 548

Amanda rushed back to the Lopez Estate, grateful that Jonathan hadn’t yet returned from the golf course. Her

outing had been a stealthy affair, unnoticed by prying eyes.

She had intended to visit Heather out of old loyalty, but what she hadn’t expected was to come away with a piece

of information.. that set her on edge.

After giving it some thought, she dialed her son’s number..

The phone rang several times before Everett picked up.

“Mother.”

Hearing that familiar word brought Amanda a moment of comfort.

“Hey! How’s the recovery coming along? Still in pain?”

“I’m fine.”

Everett’s response was as succinct as ever, void of any unnecessary embellishment.

It had always been like this. Even before Everett met Dorothy, conversations between mother and son had been

brief, usually cut short by his work commitments.

Amanda felt isolated. She was struggling to bridge the gap to her son’s life, which was why she cherished Heather’s

presence so much. Heather was young and worked close to Everett; she provided Amanda with snippets of her

son’s life as well as companionship in conversation.

“So, Dorothy… is she taking good care of you?” Amanda hesitated before asking.

She was majorly assessing if Dorothy had got the flash drive by probing Everett’s attitude. She thought that if

Dorothy had solid evidence, she would definitely tell Everett and stir trouble between her and her son.

“She’s doing great.”

“Ah, well, I guess there’s not much I can say. Your father’s running the show now, and I’m stepping back. Just call

me if you need. anything, and don’t forget to send a message every now and then! Everett, no matter what, I’m

your mother. You were born after a difficult ten–month pregnancy, and I nearly traded my life for yours. How could

I not care for you?”

“Sure, I will.”

After hanging up, Amanda let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Dorothy hadn’t found anything yet.

After all, the surveillance footage had been destroyed. Even if Dorothy got the flash drive, it would be empty. What

was there to fear? She had been worrying over nothing.

Amanda patted her chest to calm her nerves and called out to the butler, “Come on, let’s go out to the driveway

and wait for the master. He should be returning soon, right?”

“Yes, Mrs. Lopez!”

In the hospital, Everett was explaining the latest strategic shifts in the industry to Dorothy.
