Just this was enough to shatter the facade Dorothy had been painstakingly maintaining.
Even in his unconscious state, he was still calling out her name.
"Forget about me, Everett."
If she could turn back time, she would have deleted Everett from her contacts without a second thought. She wouldn’t even have joined the same class group as him. That way, she would have never crossed paths with this man again.
He had given her the most precious and purest love in the world, something that was truly unique.
It was the most blatant favoritism she had ever experienced in her twenty-something years of life.
Alas, the 'love experience' coupon had expired, and she had to go back to the real world.
"Dorothy…"
Everett, with his eyes tightly shut, muttered once again, seeming to mumble something.
Dorothy leaned in cautiously to listen, barely making out the words.
He was saying, “Don't divorce me.”
…
Everett's hospitalization eventually couldn't be kept a secret.
When Heather rushed to the hospital, she saw Jeffrey and immediately started complaining.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a big deal! What if something dangerous happened?!"
"It was his wish not to let others know." Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. "I only told you because I couldn't stand it!"
Heather detected something off with him. "What do you mean?"
Before Jeffrey could finish, Heather had already pushed open the door to the ward.
In the bed, Everett was still unconscious. His pale lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were furrowed.
Rarely did she get a chance to get this close to him. Heather even wished time could slow down right now.
Wouldn't it be great if he could always be this quiet and this receptive to her?
She despised his so-called chivalrous demeanor and etiquette.
If only Everett was like those men at work who always ogled her. Then everything would fall into place, and everyone would be happy.
Heather slowly reached out towards Everett's cheek, something she had always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to. She thought today was finally the day, but…
"What are you doing?"

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....
