Chapter 943


    Everett and Dorothy were acutely aware of how hard it was for them to make it this far, to reach a


    ce where their rtionship could finally bloom and bear fruit.


    But, after all the hardships, it seemed they were finally at the point where they could say the worst


    was behind them.


    Better days were ahead!


    Looking at Everett, Dorothy felt the urge to drop thewsuit peaking.


    What if... just what if letting go could mean they could be together? They’d be like Jeffrey and


    Karen, a happy family filled with joy andughter.


    "Everett..." She started softly.


    "Hmm?" Everett looked down at her with concern in his eyes. "Something wrong?"


    Dorothy shook her head, "I—"


    Before she could finish, Jeffrey came over. He was holding his daughter and beaming with pride,


    "Everett! Look at my girl, doesn''t she look just like me? She does, right?"


    Everett, understanding his joy of the moment, couldn''t help but smile resignedly, "Yeah, she does


    look like you."

    "I knew it! How could my daughter not resemble me!?" Jeffrey eximed.


    Derek and Serena also managed to smile, their cheeks still glistening with tears not yet dried.


    It was a scene that felt like a narrow escape from disaster, moving anyone who witnessed it.


    "Dorothy, what were you about to say?" Everett hadn''t forgotten her interrupted words.


    Dorothy smiled slightly, "I''ll tell youter. Karen''s about toe out."


    It was Karen and her daughter''s moment to shine, not the time for their discussion.


    "Alright."


    ...


    Karen felt as if she had just walked through death''s door. In her delirious state, all she could hear


    were the doctor''s footsteps and someone eximing, "The patient is hemorrhaging!"


    Initially, the pain was unbearable, but eventually, she felt nothing until her daughter''s cry pierced


    through the silence.


    Her pale, lifeless face broke into a smile as tears uncontrobly streamed down.


    "She''s born, and she''s so fair! She looks just like her mom!" The doctor was the first to show Karen


    her daughter.


    She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn’t consciously focus her gaze.


    "Show... show her to her dad..." She could just imagine Jeffrey''s joy upon seeing their daughter.


    "Of course! I''ll take her to him right away."


    After the doctor left, Karen finally allowed herself to sleep.


    When she woke up again, she was in her hospital room.


    "She’s awake!" Her mother''s voice filled her ears.


    Unable to use a pillow, Karen''s first sight was the hospital''s ceiling. She felt someone holding her


    hand tightly to provide immense warmth.


    "Karen... thank you, thank you for giving me our daughter!"


    She could tell Jeffrey''s voice, which was choked with tears.


    Karen frowned slightly, and she felt her throat dry. Despite her difort, she couldn''t resist teasing


    Jeffrey, "You... a grown man, so stop crying. You look like a pussy."


    "I''ll cry if I want to!" At that moment, Jeffrey couldn''t care less about appearances. The heavy weight


    in his heart had finally lifted.


    "Did you see our daughter? Does she look like me?" Karen knew Jeffrey too well; his emotions were


    always an open book.


    "Not like you, like me! She''s my daughter, so of course she looks like me!" Jeffrey protested.


    At that, Karen frowned.


    So Jeffrey quickly backtracked, "She looks like you! Don''t be mad, she looks like you!"


    Everyone around themughed at Jeffrey''s low family status, but no one dared to interrupt this


    tender moment between husband and wife.
