After seeing her daughter's tired face, Bella could only heave a long sigh.
"Sorry, it's all my fault. I've dragged you down with me."
She knew she shouldn't always feed her daughter with fears of men. After all, she'd get married someday, but she was scared that her daughter would get hurt again out of foolishness.
"What are you talking about, Mom? After your surgery, the doctor said you might be able to walk again. Promise me you'll make pastas for me then. I miss it."
"Alright." Bella nodded, then suddenly thought of something. "Call your boyfriend over. I want to meet him."
Dorothy was taken aback and quickly averted her gaze to peel an apple. "He's too busy with the company."
"Just like your father back then…"
"Mom." She interrupted softly. "Not everyone is like him."
At least her intuition told her Everett wasn't that type of person.
To Bella, it sounded like her daughter was defending her boyfriend. She immediately frowned and didn't say anything else, but she also didn't take the apple that Dorothy handed over.
Outside, the sky was gradually darkening.
With her mother taken care of, she had to return to work early the next morning. So, after her mother fell asleep, Dorothy left the hospital.
After stepping outside, she took a deep breath before hailing a taxi and heading to Everett's place as he had instructed.
Just as she got off, her phone in her bag started ringing.
It was a number she didn't recognize.
"Are you home?" Everett's deep and magnetic voice was too distinctive to be mistaken.
