Chapter 456

“If it weren’t for her, Everett would never be in this mess! He would have already married Heather and

wouldn’t be lying in a hospital bed! Dorothy, you give me back my son, you hear me?”

Amanda was sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath, her body skimped to the floor in

defeat.

She had always been strong, always been proud. But facing her son’s uncertain fate in her twilight

years was more than she could bear.

It was simply too cruel!

Jonathan wrapped his arms around his wife, trying to offer some comfort, then frowned at Dorothy who

was struggling to get up from the ground

“Get out, you’re not welcome here! Ive spared you for the sake of the children you bore for the Lopez

family, and that’s mercy enough! If you don’t leave now, I swear…”

“I’m not going anywhere. Darothy had come prepared for anything. “If Everett dies, I won’t live without

him,”

The conviction in her eyes was unmistakable.

Jonathan found himself believing her without a trace of doubt.

She was capable of it.

But that didn’t mean the Lopez family would ever accept her as a daughter–in–law!

He knew all too well that his wife would never accept Dorothy, not to mention the matter with Dorothy’s

mother,

Once the truth came out, there could be no happy ending!

“Then go del Hurry up and dief Amanda was beyond reason, attempting to break free from her

husband’s hold to attack Dorothy again!

But Dorothy, though in a pitiful state on the floor, kept her gaze fixed on the red light above the

emergency room door.

The light was still on.

That meant Everett was still alive, still fighting.

cu won’t leave on your own, I’ll have to have you removed. You can see how your presence affects

Everett’s mother!”

“Dorothy, if you

“No, I won’t leave. I have to stay with Everett Dorothy shook her head as if obsessed, “When he wakes

up, he’ll want to see me first. I know it! I can’t leave

Jonathan frowned and signaled to the bodyguards standing nearby.

Two men immediately hoisted Dorothy up from either side.

“I’ve tried to reason with you, but if you won’t listen, don’t blame me for throwing you out!”

Dorothy struggled fiercely. “I need to be here! Don’t touch me!”

But she was already badly injured, every touch causing her immense pain. How could she fight against

two men?

Soon, her voice faded away from the emergency room floor.

Jonathan glanced at the elevator then his gaze fell on the spot where Dorothy had been lying

The blood there had dried, dark and red like ink.

It seemed she was injured quite seriously.

Amanda in his arme was crying her heart out, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

“Jonathan, it’s all that Dorothy’s fault! Heather was so gentle, and she loved our son so much that she

would never have done something like this! You must send someone to take care of that menace, or

our family will never have peace!”

Jonathan furrowed his brow deeply, and he let out a heavy sigh, “We do owe Honther for the past, but

you’ve already made a scene for so long. It is enough!

“Our son is in the emergency room, his life hanging by a thread, and you’re at defending Dorothy?”

“But it wasn’t Dorothy who stabbed our son!

Amanda was stunned into silence by the rebuke, her sobs momentarily forgotten.

Finally, Jonathan stood up, glanced at Dorothy who had been thrown out of the hospital but refused to

leave, and said firmly, “Calm yourself. The doctors from abroad are in place and ready. We’re preparing

to leave. Saving Everett is what’s most important now.”
