Dorothy's hand was shaking uncontrollably as she held the pen. She couldn’t get her signature right.
Suddenly, another doctor rushed out of the emergency room. "The patient's not gonna make it!"
At that moment, Dorothy still hadn't finished signing the critical condition notice.
The doctor immediately turned back.
Dorothy instinctively wanted to follow, but she was stopped. "Sorry, family members can't enter the emergency room."
"That's my mom in there! He said she wasn’t gonna make it! I need to see her!"
"Sorry." After that, the doctor shut the door.
Dorothy was crying so hard that her vision blurred. All she could see was the glaring red light of the emergency room.
In the hospital corridor, surrounded by white walls, she noticed a man in a black suit not far away. Dorothy didn't know him, but it was obvious he was here to watch the drama.
Suddenly, Heather's remarks from their last encounter echoed like thunder in her mind.
It was her!
No, it was them!
Including Everett's father.
If her mother was in trouble and it had anything to do with Heather, it must be because of the power of Everett's father. Otherwise, they would have done something like this many years ago, instead of their constant taunting and cursing.
Dorothy, shaking, pulled out her phone to call Everett. But at the same time, the light in the emergency room went out.
Two doctors came out together. They avoided eye contact and sighed in unison.
"We're sorry... We did our best."
"What does that mean?" Dorothy didn't dare think further. She stepped forward, clutching one of the doctor's sleeves tightly. "There must be a way to save my mom, right? Tell me, any surgery, whatever the cost, I'm willing to pay! She can be saved, right?"
But this time, no matter how many times it rang, no one answered.
...
Meanwhile, in Amanda's ward.
Everett's phone was on silent and was left on the balcony. The screen lit up again and again, then went dark.
"Amanda..." Heather saw the call and whispered.
Amanda noticed it too.
She smirked with a harsh glint in her eyes. "You reap what you sow. Looks like the deed is done; now we just need to stall Everett. Don't let him find out it."
Heather nodded. "Okay, I got it."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
