    Chapter 467


    Dorothy didn’t hesitate for a second before hanging up and blocking the number.


    She saw no reason to keep in touch with someone who had betrayed her


    Whether he wanted to exin or shirk responsibility she had no interest in hearing it


    She hailed a cab and rushed to the address on her phene, only to discover that it was the private


    hospital owned by the wealthy Lopez family. The prospect of even getting through the front gate to see


    Everett was hard, let alone actually seeing him


    As Dorothy saw a car rolling out of the driveway, she quickly maneuvered her wheelcha to block its


    path, forcing the driver to m on the brakes just shy of hitting her.


    “Who are you?” asked the man stepping out of the vehicle, a doctor by the looks of his white coat. He


    was visibly shocked to see Dorothy blocking his way.


    “I need to see Everett Can you get me in?” she asked desperately.


    “You want to see Mr. Lopez?” He raised an eyebrow, sizing up Dorothy skeptically before ily denying


    her request. “I can’t help you. This is a private hospital. Only Mr. Lopez himself can authorize your entry


    As he moved to leave. Dorothy stubbornly positiered her wheelchair in front of the car, signaling she


    wouldn’t budge.


    The doctor sighed, getting out of the car again. Look, I’m bound by regtions. Theres nothing I can


    do”


    “Then can you at least tell me how Everett is doing?s he… awake?”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    “I can’t disclose the! he eximed, clearly anxious about revealing any information to a stranger who


    could potentially cause trouble for the Lopez family.


    Dorothy quickly exined “Tim Everetts… ewle. He was injured trying to sove me! You don’t have to let


    me in: I just want to know how he’is‘


    Ex–wife? The doctor had never heard about their young master being married before. ‘Miss, are you


    making things up? Mr. Lopez’s only got a girlfriend named Heather, Never heard of any ex–wife.”


    Dorothy knew that the Lopez family and the circle wouldn’t be aware of her, Amanda would never have


    mentioned her to anyone. For a prestigious family like the Loperes, marrying amoner would be


    gossip fudde


    She had always been aware of the vast gulf between herself and Everett, it was never just a simple


    matter of a CFO and his assistant. “Just go, please. Dont make this harder for me” the doctor pleaded


    “Can you at least tell me if he’s alive? Dorothy persisted, desperate for any information.


    She had chased him all the way here without thinking of the oues, Even if the Lopez family


    decided to chase her off, she wouldn’t leave = not without trying.


    “Of course Mr. Lopez is alive!” he blurted out before covering his mouth in shock. “I didn’t say


    anything!”


    Knowing that Everett was still alive provided Dorothy with a small sense of relief.


    She didn’t mean to cause trouble for the doctor “Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone. It’s not like we know


    each other.”


    Dorothy moved her wheelchair aside, watching as his car drove all, a faint smile finally gracing her


    face.


    He was alive. That was all that mattered.


    Suddenly, Dorothy heard someone calling with unmistakable hosty.


    “Dorothy? What are you doing here?”


    “I came to sey Everelt”


    her name. She spun around to find Amanda standing at the hospital entrance, ring at her


    “And what do you think you an, trying to see my son?‘ Amanda’s voice was shall, dripping with . “I


    haven’t even settled the score with you, and here you are, showing up on your own ord! Well,


    Dorothy, you’ve really asked for it now
