The ringing of the phone at this moment sounded piercingly clear, each note like a hammer striking Dorothy's heart.
In just a few seconds, she had thought about hanging up and blocking the call multiple times, not wanting to deal with anything related to Everett. Yet, for the sake of shielding her children, she couldn't evade.
If you're not upfront about some things, suspicions naturally arise.
When the dialing status on her screen turned into a string of timing digits, she finally heard that familiar voice, laced with a hint of strangeness.
He didn't say hello, he just said, “Dorothy.”
Dorothy felt her heartbeat quicken. The discomfort made her knit her brows. Yet, she had to keep her voice steady and casual.
“Hi, did you just call me? Sorry, I missed it. Who is this?”
Everett didn't reply immediately, instead he chuckled first. “I can't believe you don't recognize my voice.”
His tone was always so certain, so precise.
It wasn't a question, nor was it said in jest, but a statement.
Dorothy didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Because in front of Everett, it felt like all her secrets and everything were laid bare.
Everett didn't wait for her for too long. Seeing that she remained silent, he directly said, “I want to meet you, Dorothy.”
“But I don’t think I have anything to say to you, so I'll pass.”
“I went to the hospital and checked your medical records.”
Hearing this, Dorothy froze for a moment; her heartbeat seemed to stop!
