.
He thought, âWhat would she look like if she were pregnant?â.
Maybe because the imagination was so beautiful, he didnât even realize he was smiling.
Dolores was enjoying the soup Matthew gave her and didnât notice his unusual smile. It was spring, but the temperature was still low, hot soup was the best thing to warm the body.
Dolores went to the bathroom in the middle of dinner and was stopped by a waitress on her way out, âHello, are you Miss Flores?â.
Instead of saying âyes,â Dolores had a strange feeling and alertly asked, âWhatâs up?â
The waitress pulled a letter out of her pocket, âThereâs a gentleman in a wheelchair who wants this passed to him.â
Charles told her to give this to Dolores when she bribed the waitress.
So the waitress knew to approach Dolores. The reason she asked her name was just to check in case she was wrong. She didnât expect Dolores to be so cautious as to pull out the letter.
Dolores looked around instinctively, but the waitress said, âHeâs gone.â Was Charles already in B-town?
She took the letter and hesitated for a second before opening it. There wasnât much content in the letter, just a paragraph, âIâm at the Kong-Tsing Hotel, room 608. Come here I want to tell you something.â
Dolores frowned and had a strange feeling, and she wasnât planning to go there.
It didnât interest her at all.
She tore up and threw the letter in a wastebasket and then headed for the dining room. Matthew was on the phone with a serious look on his face. Dolores sat down and asked after he hung up the phone, âWho was that?â
Matthew said it was from Marina. She said they were at the hospital because Jeffery Harris had been in a car accident. Matthew had to go check because his son was overseas.
He got up and said, âIâll take you home first.â
Dolores soon became nervous and felt it was related to Charles. If not, how could it be a coincidence? She heard the news of the car accident right after she read the letter.
She looked at Matthew and said, âYou can go to the hospital first, Iâll take a cab back.â
Matthew pursed his lips, worried for her.
Dolores grabbed his hand and said, âDonât treat me like a child. I was very independent before I met you. Iâm an adult now, I can take care of myself.â
Matthew thought about it and said, âCall me when youâre home.â
Dolores nodded firmly and asked him, âYou can go now!â.
After Matthew left, it took Dolores a while to get out of the restaurant. She waited for the cab on the side of the road. Although it was now February, the weather was still cold, so she clutched her coat in her hands.
A car pulled up next to her, Tom got out of the car and opened the door, inviting Dolores to get into the car, âPlease, Miss Flores.â
Tom was Charlesâ assistant. Now she claimed that Charles was definitely involved in this.
If not, how else could it all happen with such coincidence?
Tom arrived as soon as Matthew left.
Now she was quite curious as to what Charles was going to tell her.
She bent down and climbed into the car.
The car soon started and sent her off to the hotel.
Tom got out of the car first to open the door for Dolores when they arrived. Once Dolores was out of the car, Tom made a âpleaseâ gesture. Dolores gave him a look and entered the hotel.
Tom guided her through the lobby and up the elevator to the sixth floor. When they reached room 608, Tom stood by the door, âMiss Flores, please. Mr. White is waiting for you.â
Dolores pressed the doorknob and opened the door.
It was very warm in the room and there were several French windows just off the living room. Charles was sitting with his back against the door. It looked like he was either enjoying the beautiful night view or waiting for someone.
He walked into the room.
âYouâre here.â
Charles didnât look back.
âOf course I have to pay you a visit, since youâve spent so much effort on me.â Dolores stood beside him looking out. The night view of B-town was truly fabulous, as the entire city was covered in neon lights. It was refulgent and splendid.
âNo wonder you wanted to come back, itâs really beautiful.â
âNo, that wasnât the reason I came back. I came because of who lives in town.â Charles finally turned and looked at her.
But Dolores wasnât looking at him; she was leaving her side facing him. âIf Jeffery hadnât had an accident, would you have come here?â
âNo.â replied Dolores.
Charles smiled helplessly, âYou donât think Iâm hurt.â
âIf you really were hurt, you might have been hurt for a long time.â
After all, he knew what her and Matthewâs relationship was like when they were in White City. She didnât want to hurt him, so she wouldnât come to see him.
âIâm here for half a month.â Charles said lightly.
Dolores looked at him in surprise, âYou came here for half a month?â
âWhat did you do during that time?â
âShouldnât it be as simple as Jeffery had a car accident?â
Dolores was very confused, âIsnât it easier to find her directly? Why did he go to so much effort to plan other thingsâ.
Charles didnât hide and said, âI knew.â
âYou knew what?â Dolores had a bad feeling.
âI know that Jeffery cut off my foster fatherâs finger.â Charles looked deeply at Dolores, âYou know, donât you? You know all about it. But you promised someone you wouldnât tell the truth, didnât you?â.
Dolores clenched her hands and didnât answer him directly, âSo youâre here to get revenge? So Jeffery was doomed and you did it on purpose?â
Charles got Kevin Forbis to willingly tell him that Jeffery cut off Nathan Whiteâs finger back then.
But he told him no more. Charles realized that Kevin also really hated Jeffery and so he was willing to tell him the truth.
It was totally understandable that his sister was incarcerated after all. Therefore, Kevin took advantage of Charles to get back at Jeffery for his little sister.
âIs that what you wanted to tell me?â Dolores couldnât stop him or tell Matthew what Charles did.
âNo, I want to see you.â Charles looked at her.
Dolores pretended to be relaxed, âI have a husband.â
Charles smiled bitterly, âYou canât help mentioning it?â
Dolores didnât pursue the subject, âItâs hard to do anything with him. You have to be aware that youâre in B-town and not White Town. But if youâve already decided Iâm not going to stop you, I know everyone has their own choice. However, I want to remind you that an eye for an eye will only lead you to a dead end.â
âIf Charles does something with Jeffery, then what would happen to Nathan? Noâ.
Supposed revenge was only a consolation for the people who were still alive.
âI have to go.â Dolores was about to leave.
Charles called her and asked, âIf your family suffered such a miserable life, would you also forgive the murderer?â
Dolores paused, but did not answer him. Because she was not sure. She found it very hard to let go of all the resentment, just as she hated Randolph Flores.
