    “What?!”


    “While we were at the office earlier, Jeffrey found out about this, and he urgently wanted to inform you.


    He must’ve been so rushed that he didn’t pay attention to the traffic, leading to the ident! L.. I was


    afraid that the Tumers would me me, so I didn’t dare to tell them.”


    Typically, Everett wouldn’t trust any of this, but then he recalled Jeffrey’s final words during their phone


    call.


    It seemed like Jeffrey did want to tell him something about Heather.


    But the im that the child was hers seemed absurd!


    “Heather, the only reason I chose not to interfere with you is because of my mother he retorted, trying


    to brush off any suggestion of affection on his part.


    At this point, Heather had no choice but to grit her teeth and double down, Tim not lying: you can do a


    DNA test if you want! This was your parents idea. They were worried you’d never ept me, and that


    the Lopez family wouldn’t have an heir, so they took our DNA and used a surrogate.”


    With Jeffrey unable to speak for himself and only a handful of people who were in contact with


    Langston, she had free rein to craft her story.


    Everett furrowed his eyebrows and stayed silent.


    Seeing this, Heather decided to go all in, “You don’t think that baby is Dorothy’s, do you? You’re not still


    hung up on her, are you? She’s off making beautiful music with Keh. Why would she want to have


    your child? I’m the only one, sucker enough to give up everything for you, even when your heart isnt


    with me, I still love you!”


    “Enough” Everett cut her off, not willing to buy into her narrative, “You better think about how you’re


    going to exin this to the Tumers.”


    Seeing him tum away from her, Heather felt a mix of frustration and anxiety.


    Her only option now was to ask Amanda for help. After all, this monstrous lie could only be sold to


    Everett if his parents got involved.


    She didn’t n for the lie to escte to this extent, but having already said it, she had no choice but to


    cover it up with


    more lies.


    I wasn’t until the next morning that Jeffrey’s surgery waspleted.


    The Turners‘ parents were on vacation abroad and had not yet arrived, so Everett stayed by the door,


    waiting.


    Exiting the room, the doctor removed this mask and sighed before saying. “The surgery was a sess,


    and his life is no longer at risk. However, whether he wakes up is in his hands.”


    “You mean, he may end up in a vegetative state?!”

    The doctor nodded, “Yes, brace yourself.”


    Everett took a deep breath, his brow furrowed.


    He knew the injuries would be severe, but he hadn’t expected it to be this bad!


    Worried that Langston would be scared alone at home, Everett decided to go back to the Bay


    Residence after confirming with the doctor that he couldn’t visit Jeffrey in the ICU just yet.


    Expecting Langston to be asleep, Everett opened the door only to discover Langston standing in the


    hallway, gazing at him.


    “Mr. Turner, is he okay?”


    Everett was hit hard by the question. He gritted his teeth, trying to control his emotions, unwilling to


    face his son’s teary eyes. Jeffrey had byen his friend for many years, and although he could be a bit


    offbeat at times, he had always been there for the Lopez Corporation and for him.


    “He’s fine just sleeping.”


    “Really?” Langston sensed that something was all. He pondered for a moment before stepping forward


    and grabbing Everett’s hand, “My mom used to say that when she was feeling down, holding my hand


    would make everything better. So, hold my hand more, and Mr. Turner will get better.”
