    Where the hell was Keh going to find two people to y his parents? And with the way the drama


    was ying out, if his mum kept ying hardball, it was about to tum into a full–blown soap opera


    As he turned to make a phone call outside the hospital room, Dorothy furrowed her brows. “Mom, this


    is too much! His parents have jobs! They can’t just drop everything ande.”


    “He’s the one who said his parents wanted to meet me. What’s wrong with me agreeing?”


    Be had thought of a thousand ways to verify whether her daughter was really maired or just ying


    house with some rich guy!


    Dorothy was stuck between a rock and a hard ce. She nced at the door, T’m going to see how


    he’s talking to his parents. If its not convenient, can you stop giving him a hard time? Maybe let them


    come another day when they’re prepared.”


    “No.” Be refused firmly. “If you guys are conspiring to trick me, should I give you time to find an


    actor?”


    Around theer outside the hospital room, Dorothy found Keh by following his voice,


    Seeing her, he smiled,forting her in a low vnice, “Don’t worry, my parents said they’ll be here as


    soon as they’re ready?”


    Dorothy was taken aback. “You really called them?”


    “Yup!” Keh knew her concerns and wanted to put her at ease, “Since I promised to help you today,


    fill definitely see it through! After Karen told me about your mom’s situation, id already thought about


    how she would test our rtionship and gave my parents a heads up. They were more than happy to

    Dorothy felt gmictul as she said, “Mr. Nelson… really dont know how to thank you.”


    For a moment there, she was ready to throw in the towel and tell her mom everything!


    “Don’t call me Mr. Nelson, call me Keh! Or like Karen, call me Brother Keh! I’m a few years


    older than you, so it’s a fitting nickname.”

    moment


    Dorothy nodded, forgetting what she was supposed to say


    “Brother Keh.”


    “Good girl. For now, let’s put our principles as de for the sake of our goal


    She lowered her gaze, her resilience making him ache.


    “Thank you, and I’m sorry on behalf of my mom‘


    “Why apologize for her? its only natural for a mother to want to about you. Ipletely understand.”


    now about her daughter’s boyfriend. She’s doing it because she cares


    Especially as a teacher, he had met so many parents over the years and knew their concerns.


    Dorothy moved her lips, but in the end, she didn’t any anything


    It was hard for her to exin her twisted family dynamics, let alone describe her mother’s extreme


    control issues.


    When they relumed to the hospital room, Herema ned silent, arms crossed, waiting for his parents to


    arrive.


    Dorothy brought a chair over for him and sat next to her mother’s bed.


    She absentmindedly checked her phone and was startled to see two messages from Everett!
