Chapter 455

Kenneth was worried sick about Dorothy on the road, so he shelled out extra cash for a couple of

doctors to accompany them.

Since Dorothy was practically immobile, Kenneth had no choice but to carry her down the stairs and

into the car.

As they neared City Hospital, it was clear something big was going down. The scene was different

today and something had happened.

The Lopez family had even blocked off the surrounding streets, so no car could come or go freely.

“If you’d woken up a bit earlier, it might’ve been easier to get in, but now…. The Lopez family must

have returned from abroad.”

Without any way forward, Kenneth turned to Dorothy, who sat in the backseat.

He hoped she would reconsider.

“You’ll figure something out, Kenneth.”

Kenneth sighed heavily, parked the car nearby, and made a call to a friend.

In no time, he was back.

“Change your clothes. My buddy’s a doctor at City Hospital, and he’s coming to sneak you in.”

“Okay!” Dorothy didn’t hesitate, waiting obediently, eyes fixed on the road ahead.

She had to get to City Hospital because that’s where Everett was!

Of course, Dorothy knew the Lopez family would give her a hard time, but being closer to him, even

just a little, was worth it.

Minutes later, Kenneth’s friend arrived in a hurry.

After a glance at Dorothy, he said to Kenneth, 1 can only take her in pretending she’s a patient from

City Hospital.”

“Can’t you get me in too? She can’t handle the Lopez family alone Kenneth couldn’t bear the thought of

Dorothy facing them by herself.

But his friend was helpless, “No can do, man. If I get caught, I’m toast!”

“I’ll go alone!” Dorothy immediately clutched Ken’s sleeve. “Don’t worry about me, I got this.”

Kenneth, seeing the hope in her eyes, could only nod in agreement.

Dorothy was wheeled into City Hospital by Kenneth’s friend. Once inside, she looked up. “You can

leave. Don’t get into trouble. because of me. I can find my way.”

“You sure?” Kenneth’s friend eyed the bloodstains on Dorothy, feeling she wasn’t there to visit, but

rather needed treatment herself

“I’m fine.”

Dorothy didn’t want to be a burden.

“Alright then, if you need me, I’ll be on the third floor at the Internal Medicine Clinic

After he left, Dorothy immediately headed for the ICU at City Hospital.

She knew the place well, because her mother had been arranged by Everett to stay in the VIP ward

here and had surgery here

100. 100.

Over four years had passed and she never imagined she’d return under these circumstances.

Dorothy wheeled into the elevator, heading for the emergency room floor. As it halted, she heard what

sounded like Amanda’s

sobs.

“He’s so young… my son is so young! He can’t die… I won’t let him!”

Dorothy felt as if she’d been frozen, her heartbeat seemingly stopped, unable to move an inch!

What did Amanda mean?

Everell?

Was he dead?

It was Jonathan Lopez’s voice that snapped Dorothy back to reality.

Before she could utter a word, her wheelchair was flipped over, and she was dumped onto the floor!

“You bring bad luck wherever you go! Give me back my son!” Amanda, wild–eyed, lurged at Dorothy,

not caring that she too was covered in wounds.

Luckily, Jonathan, fearing his wife couldn’t take the strain, pulled her back, “Stop it! Even if you kill her

now, our son won’t come back!”
