    Chapter 81


    Keren, who was at work, was taken aback by Donery’s raspy voice when she called.


    “What happened to you? Didn’t my brother say your mam didn’t find out?”


    “It’s not about my mom.” Dorothy hesitated for a while on the other side of the phone, before finally


    speaking with difficulty. “Can L.can stay at your ce for a few days? I find a ce as soon as I can.


    It’ll be for a week at most!”


    Karen was taken aback. “You’re not renting your ce anymore?”


    Dorothy hesitated a bit before saying, “Yeah, you could say that.”


    “Then just move in with me! Why bother staying temporarily?” she sighed, “I suggested this before, but


    you were adamant about not agreeing! How great would it be if we lived together? You could help me


    cook and clean and keep mepany! That’s settled then. Move in tonight”


    “Okay, we’ll talk more when you get off work.”


    After hanging up, Karen sat at her desk, her eyes spinning, before quickly calling Keh.


    “Just a heads up that Dorothy is moving into my ce today. We might need a strong guy to help move


    her stuff!


    Keh chuckled on the other end. “You sly fox, new you’re talking in circles.”


    “Tak! What do I have to talk in circles for? I’m not the one pursuing her


    “All right!” heughed, “Ille after work. Thanks for setting this up, okay?”


    “That’s more like d!” Karen snorted, “Don’t underestimate Dorothy because she’s strugging now. Given


    time, she’s bound to make big strides in her career. By then, you’ll have a bear ful and talented wife,


    and you’ll be aughing up your sleeve!”


    “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”


    “That’s settled then! See you tonight.”


    Putting down the phone. Karen let out a long sigh


    Then all she had to do was wait for the day her best friend became her sister inw! If that could really


    happen, she and Dorothy would have truly be family!


    Dorothy packed up all her belongings, even cleaning the master bedroom one more time before picking


    up the strawberries in the living room one by one and putting them in the fridge.


    Although they weren’t hers, it would have been a shame if they went bad.


    Standing in front of the fridge, she looked at the abundance of red strawberries and, on a whim, tasted


    one of the strawberries.


    It was really sweel


    Dorothy suddenly understood what Everett meant by his obsession with cleanliness! it meant that even


    as a substitute, she had to be pure in both body and mind.


    So, when he found out she brought another man to her mother’s hospital mom, he was so angry that


    he rushed to the hospital, even missing his date with Heather.


    So, that time, it was really over between her and Everett, right?


    ording to the contract if he proposed to terminate it first, he wouldn’t pursue the medical expenses


    for her mother.


    Dorothy thought that once she cared enough, she would have definitely repaid him to buy back her


    dignity.

    At six in the eyning, she took a taxi to Karen’s ce with her luggage.


    That little mine, Karen, came bouncing down the stairs to greet her, followed by Kernell.


    “You’ve finally agreed to stay at my ce! My dear Dorothy, do you know how happy I am?”


    I’m just staying temporarily. Once I find a suitable ce, III move out* Dorothy still insisted on not owing


    anyone any favors.


    She was afraid out if she stayed for too long and epted too much of Karen’s kindness, she wouldn’t


    be able to return the favor!
