Chapter 479


    Chapter 479


    Heather had a knack for drama, and it might just be her way of dodging the bullet.


    Everett wasn’t buying it, though


    To be fair, as a tycoon who could move mountains in the business world, sharp wits wem a necessity.


    He was on his toes around *anyone and everyone, except Dorothy


    “Man, I was such a fool back in the day Jeffrey greaned, wishing he could time travel and p some


    sense into his younger sell. “Heather had me believing you were only into Dorothy because you had a


    spat with her, and because she looked like Heather! I believed her


    And honestly, they indeed resemble each other!


    The logic seemed sound.


    Dorothy’s body stiffened at the mention. The thought of her blood ties with Heather made her feel


    nauseous


    “I need some air, she muttered, not wanting her difort to be noticed, especially by Everett,

    Karen, finding the atmosphere stifling chimed in ’11 join you!”


    Everett watched Dorothy’s hurried departure with a slight frown. She doesn’t look too hot. Have a doc


    check her cut, will you?”


    “Don’t worry with Karen by her side, Dorothy’s in good hands. Jonathan’s arranging for a dae to look at


    her leg tomorrow. Looks like after all this mess, your folks are warming up to her.”


    Jeffrey was stunned to see Dorothy in the private hospital


    Knowing Fweretts parents, he’d figured they d turn up their noses at Dorothy’s background. Yet here


    she was, caring for Everest, with them giving her space and everything


    Talk about a tum for the books!


    “I think she’s hiding something from me, Everett mused, not nearly as optimistic.


    He knew his parents all too well. Something was off, but he also knew that prying inte Dorothy’s secrets


    was a dead end


    Maybe it was her upbringing her family history, but this didn’te easy to Dorothy. Even without


    meaning to doubt, her heart was guarded, her inst never fully given, always with a hint of reservation


    Outside the hospital Karen wheeled Dorothy down to the ground floor.


    Evening had settled in, the twilight gently enveloping the surroundings. All was quiet, save for the


    neatly arranged forest that stretched out before them


    They neither spoke until Karen couldn’t hold back any longer. “Dorothy, give Keh a call, will you?


    He’s really worried.” Dorothy paused, her voice a soft whisper “Could you tell him for me? I’m not sure


    how to face him right now”


    Keh’s love was both overwhelming and tender, a push and pull that left Dorothy at a loss.


    She’d tumed him down time and again, yet he took it all in stride–no anger, no storming off. Instead, he


    protected her like an older brother except that he wouldn’t go find himself another girl


    Karen sighed. “Keh’s head over heels, you know. I’ve tried talking sense into him behind the


    scenes, and his folks are pressuring him, too. But he just won’t budge. It’s like his smile onlyes to


    life when you’re around”


    “Karen, I can’t retum Keh’s feelings!”


    “I know! And so does he! Karen regretted ever ying matchmaker.


    No happy ending was one thing, but to get Keh deeply in love was quite another.
