    Heather showed no mercy, intending to kill Everett.


    With brutal force, she plunged the knife deep, gripping it with both hands to drive it further. Blood


    instantly soaked through his suit and stained his crisp white shirt.

    Everett had chosen that outfit with care that morning, knowing he would wake up to the sight of


    Dorothy.


    “If you want to kill me for Dorothy, fine. I’m not afraid to die. Everett, you’reing with me. We’ll die


    together, never to be parted!”


    “No, Everett!” Dorothy reached out, but her vision blurred uncontrobly.


    As consciousness faded, she faintly heard Heather’s wild cackle and Everett s deep, hoarse voice,


    saying. “Forget about me, her first.”


    Dorothy seemed to be plummeting into an abyss


    Her body was suspended, endlessly falling


    She saw her mother drifting further away until she vanished. She also saw Keh, Karen, Langston,


    and Abigail all waving goodbye before they too disappeared into nothingness


    Dorothy struggled to reach out to them but couldn’t even control her body.


    Suddenly the world began to spin, and a violent nausea swept over her. She hurriedly opened her eyes


    and turned her head, retching up a mess of slime and vomit.


    “She’s awake, she’s awake! Get the doctor, quick!”


    Keh’s excited voice was in her ears, followed by a flurry of footsteps approaching.

    Dorothy was nk in mind, save for the relentless vomiting Eventually, nothing came up but dry


    heaves, as if she wished to expel her very insides.


    “What’s happening to her, Doctor?”


    “It’s normal a reaction to the anesthesia. She’ll be fine shortly”


    Keh watched the doctor administer medication and check her vitals, then tried to take her hand.


    But just as he was about to touch her, Dorothy pulled away.


    Her face was ghostly pale, her lips cracked and bleeding.


    “Where’s Everett? Where’s Everett?”


    “You’re worried about him? Dorothy, you were so close to death! If it weren’t for Everett, none of this


    would’ve happened?” Keh was livid, not just because Karen was involved, but because he was


    pained for Dorothy.


    All these years, she had carefully avoided Everett, and yet he’d contrived to bring her to Eldoria City,


    making her Heather’s target. Keh didn’t dare think what would have happened if Everett hadn’t


    kept an eye on Heather and if he hadn’t found Dorothy in time.


    In Heather’s clutches, Dorothy would have surely died.


    But at that moment, Dorothy didn’t want to hear me. She needed to know Everett’s condition!


    She had watched, helplessly, as that long. sharp dagger was thrust into Everett.


    “Please, Keh… take me to him. I need to see him.”


    “You can’t see him anymore! Everett’s gone!”


    Dorothy was dumbfounded, with her body turning rigid. Her eyes were unfocused as if she’d gone


    blind. “You’re lying, you’re lying to me!”


    “Im not lying. After everything happened, the Lopez family came and took both Everett and Heather


    away. I couldn’t find out anything about him!”


    Dorothy blinked, her throat raw as if razors were slicing through it


    “So, he’s not dead… right? He’s not dead, just taken away?”
