Chapter 27
Somehow, Dorothy just couldn’t bear to call him this name, so she pretended not to hear him this time.
They arrived at the hospital. She grabbed her purse, ready to bid Everett goodbye and get out of the car.
But he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“Wait. I’ll go with you.”
Everett was going to meet her mother?
Dorothy quickly waved her hands. “You don’t have to waste your time. My mom is much better now.”
Before she finished speaking, Everett was already standing in front of her with flowers and gifts from the back seat.
“Let’s go.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Dorothy was helpless.
With no other choice, Dorothy had to take Everett into the hospital, all the while thinking about how she was going to explain Everett’s identity to her mother.
Now at the door of the ward, Dorothy hoped her mother was asleep, so the problem would be solved easily. Unfortunately, as soon as the door opened, her mother was chatting with the nurse quite spiritedly, in fact.
“Dorothy.” Bella was naturally happy to see her daughter, but when her gaze fell on the tall man behind her, her eyes became a bit heavy
Knowing her mother’s temper, Dorothy was afraid that if Bella gave Everett a hard time, it would cause a disaster. So she quickly tried to smooth things over. “Mom, this is…”
“Is this your boyfriend?”
Bella interrupted her directly. Her tone was not friendly.
Dorothy instinctively denied it, fearing that her mother would say something shocking.
“Of course not! He… he is my boss. He heard you were sick and came to visit.”
Upon hearing her daughter’s explanation, Bella immediately changed her face and said to Everett very politely, “Please sit down. I’m sorry, I can’t get out of bed. Dorothy, wash some fruit for your boss.”
“It’s okay. I just came to see you.” There was no expression on Everett’s handsome face. He just put the things in his hand on the table. “Did you schedule the surgery?”
“Yes, my daughter’s boyfriend even found a specialist for me.”
“Mom! You should stop chatting about irrelevant things.”
“Go wash the fruit, Dorothy!”
As soon as Dorothy left, Bella hurriedly said, “My daughter has suffered a lot with me. She often causes trouble at work because of me, so please take good care of her.”
Everett nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. Dorothy is doing a great job at work.”
Bella started to talk more about her daughter.
“She’s always been diligent and smart, and she works hard no matter what she does. If it weren’t for me holding her back, she wouldn’t have ended up at a regular undergraduate school.” “She had the grades to get into Havenbrook High School, but because Lakeview High School offered her 50,000 dollars, she chose not to go. If she had gone to Havenbrook High School, now…”
“Mom! What are you talking to my boss about?” Dorothy saw her mother speaking passionately and quickly interrupted her. “Mr. Lopez, didn’t you say you had something else to do? If you’re busy, go ahead. Don’t let us hold you up.”
Knowing what she meant, Everett didn’t make it hard for her and agreed.
“Then I’ll head out. I’ll come to see you another day.”
“Alright. Dorothy, go see your boss off.”
Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the ward with Everett.
As soon as they stepped out, she felt a hint of displeasure from the man standing in front of her.
“Dorothy, I found the top doctor for your mother, but you gave the credit to your boyfriend?”
Dorothy clearly hadn’t expected Everett to take issue with this.
