Chapter 915
"If you're not happy, I'll just delete her."
Saying that, Everett reached out his hand.
Dorothy quickly stopped him, "No, wait! What are you doing? I was just... looking, that's all. Don't read too much into it."
Not to mention that Everett's hand hadn't fully healed yet and that he would still need Quincy’s help, but thinking about the future... who knows when they might need Quincy's help again?
If he deleted Quincy from his contacts, how awkward would it be if that got out? How would they face each other then?
"After she stitched me up, she's leaving the country. She said she's worried about whether I'm doing my exercises correctly for my tendon recovery, and also worried about the expertise of the doctors here. So, she added me on WhatsApp, telling me to send her a photo of the wound in a few days."
Everett rarely spoke in such a long, hurried explanation.
Dorothy nodded. "Dr. Quincy is very responsible. You should really listen to her."
He's the CEO of a corporation, after all. His hands are crucial to him!
"Dorothy, if you're not happy, don't keep it to yourself. Tell me."
"I'm really okay," Dorothy said, almost helplessly, "Everett, it's your choice! Just like I advocate for my own freedom, you know? Freedom means not being interfered with."
He didn't want that kind of freedom. Nor did he want to give Dorothy that freedom.
After dinner with Karen, Jeffrey took her back to continue with her pregnancy care.
Knowing they were having a daughter, Jeffrey acted like he wanted to vet every boy in the world suitable for his daughter. Hmph, any guy thinking of getting close to his daughter would have to get past him first.
Dorothy watched them get into the car and leave before turning back to Everett.
"I don't feel like seeing the doctor today. Can we reschedule?"
Although Everett hadn't explicitly mentioned taking her to see a doctor, Dorothy had a hunch.
"Of course," he replied without hesitation, completely accommodating her.
On the way back to the hotel, Dorothy started feeling dizzy.
Her face turned even paler. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
He kept glancing at her, hesitating before finally saying, "Maybe we should have a doctor come check on you?"
"It's okay. I'm probably just carsick. I'll feel better after resting a bit."
Dorothy truly thought it was just a lack of food that caused her dizziness, but before they even arrived, she had lost consciousness and slipped into a coma.
...
Everett, worried about his hand and feeling helpless about not being able to do things himself, had called Jeffrey for help.
After dropping Karen off, Jeffrey rushed to the hospital upon receiving a call from Everett.
"Did you settle Karen okay?"
"I told her it was work-related, and since she saw it was your call, she didn't suspect anything," Jeffrey said, frowning and glancing at the emergency room's red light. "Dorothy's really putting you through the wringer! Wasn't she just fine? How did she suddenly faint?"
"The doctor checked her, said it might be due to not eating properly and lack of sleep, which could lead to low blood pressure and sugar levels, but I have a feeling it's not that simple with her."
A gut feeling.
With no solid evidence.
Jeffrey patted Everett’s shoulder. "Buddy, don't pressure yourself too much! I know Dorothy means the world to you, but there's no need for wild guesses! Fainting from low blood sugar is normal, right? Look at how thin Dorothy has gotten!"
"She's not sleeping well."
"If you ask me, you should just enforce some love! Otherwise, you're wasting your god-given talents!"
