Chapter 22
She took the box and said flatly. Thanks.
Then she walked past Sonia into her office.]]
She tossed the box into a cabinet
She indeed accepted it
But it didn’t mean she’d use it.]
Sonia followed her inside, maintaining a smile. “Dr. Acosta, are you close to Dwayne?““]
Dorothy was turning on her computer. Hearing this, she froze slightly before meeting Sonia’s scrutinizing gaze and shaking her head with a derisive smile.
“Oh, I see. I thought you guys were close.” Sonia deliberately put on a regretful tone. Then she said with a smile, “It’s fine, I guess. If you want any favors, you can come to me. I’ll tell him for you. You have no idea how attentive he is. Brenden had a stomachache last night, and he rushed over in the middle of the night and stayed with Brenden all night“]
Dorothy’s breath hitched
She figured Dwayne had gone to Sonia last night]
But she didn’t know it was because Brenden was sick
In the past, when she had felt unwell, all she had hoped was to be accompanied by Dwayne, but he had always treated her with indifference.
Suppressing the frustration, she said, “Really? That’s nice. He’s a good dad“]
Sonia said this to test how Dorothy felt about Dwayne.]
