    As soon as he left, Heather, despite her fmil cerdition, managed to squeeze out a polite smile. “Sorry,


    Everett. I’m afraid III have to postpone a few contracts I’m working on! But don’t worry, Ill be back on


    track soon. Jeffrey promised to bring myptop to the hospital!*


    Everett admired her work ethic, but as president, he had to discourage such kind of reckless behavior


    “You need to rest. The legal department doesn’t solely depend on you. 111 get Kevin and Dorothy to


    pick up the ck.”


    ‘Nol


    Heather’s voice rose at the mention of Dorothy’s name. She realized her outburst was inappropriate,


    “Sorry, I just don’t like others getting involved in my work. It’s not personal! Besides, I have nothing to


    do in the hospital. Working might actually be fun.”


    “Your healthes first.”


    “I’m really fine‘ By the way, Everett, because of my sudden surgery, I can’t fly out to see Amanda this


    week. She called me just now, and ‘she’s heard about it. So she’s nning toe back to the


    country”


    Everett’s mother wasing back?


    His eyebrows furrowed, ‘She’s not fit for long fights.”


    “I told her the same, but she insists oning to see me, worried that I won’t have anyone to take care


    of me after the surgery”


    “We can hire more nurses for you. She won’t be able to take care of you even if shees.”


    “Yeah, I told her the same.”


    He had a headacheing on, “Til talk her out of it.”


    “Everett Heather started suddenly. “Are you against Amandaing back because of her health, or


    because of Dorothy?


    Caught off guard, Everett just gave her a nce, not responding


    “You know Amanda won’t like Dorothy. I suggest you don’t tell her yet Heather switched back to her


    friendly tone. “Otherwise, all the previous treatment would be wasted, and it could even be worse.”


    1ll consider it carefully


    When Dorothy returned to the Bay Residence, her sense of relief didn’tst long.


    Seeing the spacious house empty, she couldn’t help but imagine Everett and Heather at the hospital


    Were they hugging each other tightly?


    Or was Everett gently stroking Heather’s face, tencerly applying medicine, just like he had cone for


    her?


    Frustrated, Dorothy shook her head to rid herself of such thoughts.


    She decided to do some housework!


    Keeping busy would have prevented her mind from wardening


    However after dusting from the bedroom to the living room, she realized something


    Everett, the clear freak, kept his ce spotless! There was not a speck of dust anywhere.


    What time did he wake up in the morning?


    Just as Dorothy was L’about to give up and return to her room, she noticed his study door was ajar

    He wouldn’t mind if she went in to pick a book, right?


    Sneaking in like a tivel, she switched on the light and scanned the book lined walls.


    Then suddenly, Dorothy spotted a few neatly aranged middle school textbooks!


    Those were more. She had no idea where her can were.


    Intrigued, she pulled one out, but before she could flip through it, she noticed atter that came out with


    it.


    Dorothy picked it up from the floor. The envelope had a few words written in a strong and forceful


    handwriting


    “Do you know the secret of 08257”
