    Chapter 474


    The bodyguard nced at Jeffrey, then at Karen, hesitating before daring to open the dan


    Fearing they might change their minds again, Karen balled inside, only to be overwhelmed by the sheer


    size of the ce


    Elevators and staircases nked her on either side, leaving her clueless about which way to go.


    Jeffrey, watching her buzzing around like a headless chicken couldn’t help but curve his lips into a


    smirk,


    “What’s so funny?”


    “I smile because I want to, Jeffrey spread his hands, arching an eyebrow yfully, inadvertently pulling


    at his wound, which immediately stiffened his grin into a grimace.

    Karen pointed at the bandage on his head, “Laughing ton hand can bite you back! Did Heather give


    you that wound?”


    If you’re looking for them, go left! Jeffrey surely coudn’t wait to get rid of this troublesome woman She


    might not be the sharpest at banter but she sure knew how to hit where it hurt


    With a triumphant grin, Karen tumed left, muttening under her breath, “How many sick people can the


    Lopez family pass by have to


    need such a massive private hospital?”


    Must be nice to have money to burn!


    Dorothy stepped out of the ICU just in time to see Kasen ascend the stairs, her eyes lighting up with joy


    then quickly cast down in guilt “I’m sorry for leibng you and Keh down


    Karen waved it off nonchntly, Forget that! You look a lot more lively than when you wereid up at


    hospital in Elcorria City Have you


    checked on Eve’ll?


    Dorothy nodded, “Yeah, but he hasn’t woken up yet!


    “So…”


    “But he’s cut of danger now”


    Karen nodded in reliel, “That’s good. But how did you get in here? I got stopped by the doorman on my


    way in.


    “It was Fyrett’s father who let me in Dorothy concealed the bargain she had struck she spilled the


    beans, Karen, with her fiery temper, would undoubtedly argue with the Lopez family!


    Karen and Keh adored those kids, and they would be just as disappointed in Dorothy for agiening


    to such a deal….


    Yet facing the power of the Lopez family Dorothy had no choice if she wanted to see Everett.


    “They just let you in! Please, they’re not that kind!” Karen squatted in front of Dorothy’s wheelchair to


    meet her eye. ‘How are you feeling“”


    Tm fine! Now that I’ve seen Everett, I can rest easy.”


    Karen exhaled a sigh of relief, then, as if struck by a thought, whispered, “Tran into Jeffrey on my way


    here! Did he trek all the way here to plead Heather’s case?‘


    Jeffrey?


    Dorothy pondered for a moment before shaking her head, ‘I don’t know He’s a friend of Heather’s, but


    he’s also a friend of Everett’s. After finding out what happened, I doubt he’d take Heather’s side


    anymore”


    She was unaware of Jeffrey’s car ident. Thest time she saw him was because of a dispute with


    Lane, and even then, his tone with her was less than friendly – actually, it was always frosty


    “Well, you can never be sure! The man’spletely love stricken, a totalpdog. Remember how he


    used to pine after Heather even trying to y matchmaker with her and Everett! That goes to show


    there’s no telling what he might do.”


    “Karen! Next time you decide to bad–mouth someone, could you at least check your surroundings?”


    Suddenly, Karen and Dorothy’s gazes snapped toward the source of the voice.


    There was Jeffrey, with a bandage atop his head and a limp in his step, making his way towards them.

    He too was recovering from a serious condition, rawing only just been awakened by a doctor


    summoned by Everett Had it not been for


    the gravity of the situation, Jeffrey would have been bedridden in the hospital for a while longer.


    Karen pursed her lips, about to retort, when the doctor rushed out of the ICU.


    “Iverell’s awake! Hes awake?
