Chapter 847


    Everett pulled her into his arms, "Even though Jeffrey going off half-cocked like that was rash, if


    someone came at me with those words, we wouldn''t be calling 911."


    Dorothy blinked. "Then what would we be calling?"


    "The hearse."

    Dorothy was at a loss for words.


    The terrifying thing about Everett wasn''t the harsh words he spoke, it was that when he said


    something, nobody doubted whether he meant it.


    "After all thismotion, looks like their evening ns are shot. Got any ces you wanna hit up in


    Everglow City?"


    To Dorothy, Everglow City was just another ce to work, nothing special. But after a moment''s


    hesitation, a location did spring to mind!


    Both looked at each other, saying in unison.


    "Dreamscape Hotel!"


    "Dreamscape Hotel."


    ...


    Returning here, Dorothy couldn''t help but feel a little sentimental. She took out her phone and


    snapped a picture of the entrance.


    "The first time I saw Abigail here, I thought her eyes were so much like yours." At the time, Everett


    didn''t dare to think too much about it, let alone guess that Abigail was his daughter with Dorothy!


    "True, Abigail''s eyes do remind me of mine, but she''s got your facial structure. That''s why I worry


    about being spotted when she''s with me."


    And as for Langston, well, he might as well have been a carbon copy of Everett; anyone who saw


    him would start second-guessing.


    "What''s the worst that could happen if we''re found out? Dorothy, you always take on too much,


    always ying the tough gal."


    Ever since he''d first met Dorothy, she was like this!


    Back in school, everyone from the teachers to the students knew her situation. She could have


    easily asked the teacher for a pass to skip out on ssroom chores or activities, but she never did.


    After fulfilling her duties like everyone else, she would miss thest direct bus to the hospital, too


    frugal to take a cab, ending up walking the entire way.


    Summer was one thing, but winter... Havenbrook City''s winters were brutal.


    "Everett, I thought after the divorce, we''d go our separate ways."


    Which was exactly why she couldn''t let Everett find out about the kids!


    "No. We were never going to go our separate ways."


    Dorothyughed. "I know that now."


    Their entanglement seemed destined to remain a tangled web for life.


    Everett took a deep breath and held her tight. "Dorothy, when will you learn to rely on me?"


    Not to always shoulder everything alone after the fact.


    "What if I never learn?" She mumbled from his embrace.


    "Then I''ll teach you over and over until you do," He said with a smile.


    She looked up at him with a smile. The next second, Dorothy''s phone rang. ncing down, it was a


    call from Karen.


    Dorothy quickly stepped out of Everett''s embrace and hit the answer button.


    "Hello, Karen!"


    "Dorothy..." Karen''s voice trembled as she spoke, "Where are you... you need toe quickly..."


    Dorothy''s heart sank, "What''s wrong? Stop crying and tell me what happened."


    "I had a row with Jeffrey. He got angry, mmed the door, and left. And then... then I realized I''m


    bleeding!"


    Bleeding...


    Dorothy stiffened.


    "Stay put at the hotel. I''m on my way back! I''ll call an ambnce for you right now! Karen, don''t be


    scared. I''ll be there in no time!"
