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!

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
