Chapter 655


    "Langston could tell. Are you saying I taught him that?"


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Even the kid had caught on to Keh''s ulterior motive!


    Dorothy knew she could not outtalk Everett with his businessman''s silver tongue, so she simply


    closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.


    Luckily, Keh only called once.


    Back at the Lopez Private Hospital, Quincy was already in ce, just waiting for Everett to return.


    She arranged a battery of tests, fearing any missed detail could pose a hidden threat.


    Perhaps because Quincy was aware of Everett''s germophobia, she had another male doctor assist


    with any examinations that required physical contact.


    As the test results came in one by one, all looking good, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Mr. Lopez, you''ve got the constitution of an ox! I won''t lie. I was worried sick while you were out of


    the country."


    After all, a through-and-through wound was no joke. Forget infection at the wound site; even a tiny


    blood clot could spell disaster.


    "Much obliged, Dr. Quincy." Dorothy finally exhaled in relief.


    "Just doing my duty," Quincy replied with a smile, looking at her. "You go be with Mr. Lopez now. I''ll


    change his dressing and remove the stitches tomorrow morning. You''ve both had a long day; you


    must be exhausted."


    Dorothy nodded. "Thank you, Dr. Quincy."


    All Dorothy could muster was thanks, leaving Quincy at a loss for how tomunicate with her.


    Walking out of the doctor''s office, Dorothy suddenly remembered the missed call from Keh.


    With Everett not around, she quickly returned the call.


    After a few rings, Keh picked up.


    "Dorothy."


    "Keh, did you need something?"


    "Did Everett stop you from taking my call earlier?" Keh''s direct question caught Dorothy off


    guard.


    She hesitated, then said, "No, I just did not see it. There was a lot to sort outing back to Swevia


    Country. I had to apany Everett for his check-up, too."


    "Oh, I thought he was stopping you." Keh''s tone was noticeably different,cking its previous


    warmth and filled with a hint of sarcasm, "Did you know Everett sealed off Be''s cemetery? Only


    direct kins can visit now."


    Dorothy was stunned. "What?"


    This was rather typical of Everett!


    Had he been plotting this while standing at the cemetery gate that day?


    "Dorothy, Everett better not overstep. I''ve stoppedpeting with him. Does he really need to drive


    the point home? Am I not even allowed to be your friend?"


    Dorothy could tell Keh was genuinely angry and rushed to soothe him.


    "Keh, he''s just a bit jealous, alright? Don''t take it to heart. I''ll talk to him when I get back. And


    about the cemetery, if it reallyes to it, I''ll have a word with the manager, im you''re direct kin


    to my mother."


    "I don''t want to put you in a tough spot, but he''s really crossing the line! It''s totally justified that you


    don''t want him visiting your mother''s grave. No one could argue with that! He''s just clueless, yet he


    has the nerve to seal off the cemetery."


    Even if Everett sealed it, he had no right to be there!


    "Right now, Everett is still in the dark. If he knew the truth, he''d naturally stay away."


    "Dorothy, I''m sorry, I''ve lost myposure. I shouldn’t have brought up painful memories."
