    Chapter 477


    Dorothy mulled it over carefully, her acting chops with Langston were bad, and yet, Event had yed


    along with barely a reaction. That in itself was a dead giveaway to his sharp mind!


    The only usible exnation was that he knew. He just pretended not to.


    Everett looked up. Dorothy’s silhouette reflecting in his eyes. After a long pause, he spoke in a raspy


    voice, “if you don’t want me to know, then I don’t know.”


    He had always been like that Because Everett knew all too well that any abrupt move on his part would


    send Dorothy running away like a startled deer


    Even Kevin had been asking whether it was so hard to find out if the kid was really hers. A simple


    patemity test would do the trick! To everyone else, it seemed like Everett could just bulldoze his way


    through any issue with his clout. Why the need for schemes, for ying dumb, for such delicate


    handling?


    But they didn’t understand! Everett wanted Dorothy to stay or leave ording to her own thoughts. Her


    happiness and her contentment were what mattered mest


    Everett’s words struck Dorothy hard, like a hammer to the heart.


    The mighty CEO of Lopez Corporation, lowering himself to such a humble state for her sake, she didn’t


    know how to respond!


    After all, no one ever had much faith in their rtionship.


    “Um… how about I help you clean up? You must be ufortable, lying there without being able to


    take a bath,” Dorothy deflected. opting to retreat into her shell like a turtle.


    Everett was used to her ways by now, so he nodded, “Sure.”


    Dorothy promptly went to fetch a towel, but as she entered the bathroom, she suddenly remembered,


    “Oh, Karen’s in Swevia Country too She was worried about me and followed along. I need to sort out


    her amodation and meals.”


    “Don’t worry about it I’ll have Jeffrey handle it. You’re not familiar with the ce here,” Everett replied,


    his voice still weak from his recent brush with death, the volume much lower


    “Jeffrey? Is he up to it?” Dorothy didn’t have a good impression on Jeffrey


    He was a notorious yboy from a wealthy family and had always had a poor opinion of her. She


    hoped he wouldn’t take his spite out


    “Don’t worry


    Everett had Dorothy grab his phone to dial Jeffrey’s number


    Soon the call connected. “Everett! You’re able to make calls now?


    “Yeah… I’m fine, where are you?”


    “Taking some ungratefuldy out to have a meal! Once we’re done, I’lle over.”


    Dorothy and Everett exchanged nces, “is it Karen?”


    “Who else! She’s been ragging on me the whole trip, and I’ve got to y butler. Talk about karma”


    Hearing Jeffrey’s endlessints, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    It seemed that despite his griping, he was still taking care of Karen!


    After the call, Dorothy set down the phone, picked up the towel, and began to gently wipe Everett’s


    skin, careful not to cause him any pain


    The doctors said it wasn’t necessary, but Dorothy knew his obsession with cleanliness. Even missing a


    single day’s bath would leave him grumpy and

    curved into an involuntary smile It was us if after all these years, they had never been apart.


    It felt like they had been together this whole time.
