As soon as Dorothy pushed open the door to the ICU, Everett's frail voice reached her ears.
"I need to see... Dorothy..."
"I'm here! Everett, I'm here," she quickly propelled her wheelchair forward, racing to his bedside.
Everett struggled to turn his face toward her, and it was only upon seeing Dorothy that he seemed to truly relax, the tension in his brow dissolving into relief.
He tried to reach out to touch Dorothy, but the tubes tethered to his hand prevented him. Dorothy pushed herself up from the wheelchair with effort, managing to grasp his hand with a smile. "Don't you worry! We've got all the time in the world, and I'll be right here with you!"
Everett's gaze lingered on the bruise marring her cheek. "My parents..."
"Your parents agreed to let me care for you. How else do you think I got in here?"
Though Everett was confused, the presence of Dorothy by his side was all he needed at the moment.
Soon after, Everett's parents arrived.
Amanda clutched her son's hand, weeping openly. "Everett, it's all my fault... I never imagined Heather would do something so rash! If anything had happened to you, I won’t be able to live on!"
"The patient needs quiet. Please keep it down," the doctor reminded her gently.
Jonathan, worried his wife might faint again, arranged for someone to take her back home.
"When can he be free of all these monitors?" he asked the doctor.
"In a few days, but he can be moved out of ICU and into a regular room," the female doctor replied, her eyes flicking to Dorothy with a suppressed smile. "With his 'guardian angel' by his side, Mr. Lopez should recover quite quickly."

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...
