Chapter 463


    Chapter 463


    Dorothy gazed at her son, Langston, in shock as he shed a row of tiny and even teeth, winking at


    her.


    “You’ve got to bring him back, Mom. I’m wasting away here without his cooking!”


    I will… I promise I’ll find him.”


    Keh and Karen couldn’t make out what the mother and son were discussing, but the smile finally


    breaking across Dorothy’s face was enough to let them breathe a sigh of relief.


    The relentless toil of recent days had aged Keh by more than a decade.


    “Keh, leave this to me. You need to get some rest!”


    Karen, too, felt for her cousin. The weariness in his eyes was unmistakable, his clothes unchanged for


    days. He’d been Dorothy’s steadfast guardian, and nobody could keep up that pace forever.


    “But she…”


    “Don’t worry! Before you wake, I’ll be right here.” Karen patted his shoulder. You resting row means you


    can take better care of Dorothyter.”


    Keh nced at Dorothy lying in the bed and radded reluctantly. Before leaving, he couldn’t help but


    fuss. “She’s emotionally fragile right now, so dont upset her! Call me immediately if anything happens,


    and keep an eye on her bandages for any bleeding.”


    “Jeez, I canke care of her! Plus, we’w got the doctors here”


    When had he turned into such a worrywart?


    Helpless, Keh managed a half–smile, then approached Dorothy’s bedside and spoke gently, Till


    just crash at a nearby hotel ande back once I’ve rested. Have a good chat with Karen and


    Langston.”


    Dorothy nodded and murmured her thanks, which Keh wished he didn’t have to hear. It only


    reminded him that he was still an outsider.


    Outside the operating room, the anxious wait continued


    It felt as if a single door separated two different worlds!


    Jonathan was finally feeling the strain. He summoned a doctor to administer nutrient solutions to keep


    him going.


    His wife had been sent to rest, mainly to spare him the irritation of her worry.


    Who would have thought that Jonathan, who’d sai ed smoothly through life, would face such a trial in


    his golden years?


    The doctors had emerged several times with grim updates: Everett’s condition was critical without signs


    of improvement. If things continued this way, they feared the worst.


    Panic was creeping up on Jonathan, though he maintained a facade of calm


    After much contemtion, he decided to prepare for every oue and made a call, ‘Bring the two


    kids Dorothy had for the Lopez family to Swevia Country.”


    In the event of a tragedy, the Lopez family would still have an heir.


    But Dorothy couldn’t be the one to raise them. Her status was not suited for the future head of the


    Lopez family.


    If their origins leaked, it would tamish the family’s reputation.


    “Understood, Jonathan.”


    “Also, prepare a’ check for fifty million for Dorothy. Than, by whatever means necessary, get her to sign


    the agreement to relinquish her parental rights.”


    After hanging up, Jonathan exhaled deeply, his hand drooping. For the first time in his life, he felt truly


    powerless.


    Wealth was of no use here as he faced the prospect of losing his son.

    Suddenly, the doors to the operating room swung open!


    This time, the doctor burst out with excitement stered across his face.


    “It worked! His heart stopped beating several times. In my desperation, I told him Dorothy was still


    waiting for him. Incredibly, It actually worked!”
