Chapter 218
"Ah..." Karen finally came to a realization. "But she just said forget it! No, I have to go and persuade her."
Karen was the definition of impatient. Once she had an idea in mind, she would want to act on it immediately.
Kenneth, helpless, had to pull her back. "Hold on! We need to take this slow. She's emotionally unstable right now. Anyway, she definitely needs someone to accompany her to the hospital. Since no one else is around, it's either you or me. Plus, there's still time to change her mind." "Okay." Karen nodded, suddenly looking at him with a gaze filled with admiration. "Are you ready to accept Dorothy and Everett's child?" Kenneth gave her a bitter smile. "Do I have a choice? Dorothy has never accepted me."
It had always been a one-man show on his part.
"Ah." Karen pursed her lips. She could only bluntly say. "She just doesn't want to burden others. She's had it tough."
In the car, Dorothy wasn't sure if she was awake or asleep.
It was that kind of feeling when life suddenly lost its hope and purpose. The things she had been longing for had come to pass, and she had lost everything. She didn't even know what her motivation to continue living should be if she really found the evidence and uncovered the truth.
In her dazed state, Dorothy faintly heard her phone ringing.
She lifted her numb arm and noticed several missed calls. They were all from Everett
Dorothy didn't want to hear his voice. It would remind her of the Lopez family. It reminded her of the cruel words and harsh expressions they used to provoke Bella, leading to her sudden heart attack and death.
Bella was still actively trying to set her up with Kenneth. She was planning for her beloved daughter's future, trying to persuade her with a tongue as sharp as a knife but a heart as soft as cotton. She absolutely had no suicidal tendencies during this period.
When she saw her mother's body, there was only one thought in her mind.
Why wasn't it her who died?
If she hadn't met Everett again and hadn't married him, then none of this would have happened, and it certainly wouldn't have ended with the loss of her mother.
She couldn't blame Everett for anything because he was innocent. She could only blame herself.
"Ding"
This time it wasn't a call but a WhatsApp notification.
Dorothy looked down. It was a message from Everett
[Come back to Bay Residence; wait for you. Even if we divorce, we need to meet and sign the agreement.]
She stroked the screen of her phone over and over again, but in the end, she didn't reply.
After a while, Kenneth and Karen got in the car. After seeing her haggard and pale face, Kenneth gravely said. 11 take you to Karen's house to rest for a while. You can't sleep well in the car. You need to regain your strength to face what's coming."
"Yeah! Come to my place. I promise I won't disturb your rest." Karen chimed in.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Dorothy just shook her head lightly. When she opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse and melancholic. Take me back to Bay Residence." "What are you going back there for?" Karen instantly recalled what Kenneth had said and feared that Dorothy might want to end things with Everett, so she quickly intervened. "My place is closer, and it would be easier for me to take care of you. Let's not go back to that sad place."
"Karen, Everett agreed to the divorce. I'm going back to sign the agreement."
