Chapter 274
Dorothy was shocked. She held her right hand in pain and looked at John with tears shimmering in her eyes. “Johnny…”
However, instead of pitying her, John asked, “Is what the media reported true?”
He was asking about the fake accident and her employing a murderer to kill Zac.
“Johnny, don’t you believe me?”
She cried, out of breath, as if she had been wronged.
When she lifted her head and saw that John was unmoved, she panicked and wanted to hug him, but he dodged her.
“Dorothy, I’m giving you a chance to confess. There won’t be another chance if your miss this one.”
He would have dealt with this earlier on if it was anyone else, but Dorothy had saved him and accompanied him throughout his most painful days, so he could not do anything much to her.
“Johnny,” Dorothy said. She sniffled and lied calmly. “I did none of those things.
Someone framed me.”
John’s eyes flashed with disappointment, and he asked, “Do you know Jorge?”
Hearing that name, Dorothy panicked.
At this moment, she was almost sure Jorge had been caught, but she did not know whose hands he was in and how much John knew.
However, she still took a chance. After all, John never doubted her.
In the past, John always believed everything she said, including her false accusations against Olivia.
She shook her head. “No.”
John stared at her. “Are you sure you don’t know him?”
“Yes.”
“Have a good rest.”
Then, John turned around to walk out of the ward. Unexpectedly, Dorothy hugged
him from behind.
“Johnny, don’t leave. Stay with me. I’m afraid. Do I have to go back to that place?
“I don’t want to go back, Johnny. I’m afraid. It’s scary there, and the people there bully me…”
Dorothy speaking about bullying made John recall the time when Olivia got hurt in the cell. His expression became gloomy as he pried Dorothy’s arms open.
