NovelOnlineDorothy'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! | need to see her!" "Sorry." After that, the doctor shut the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDorothy 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 .
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?" "Ms. Sanchez, calm down." "I can't calm down!" Dorothy screamed. Her frail body looked like it was ready to collapse at any moment. "She was fine in her ward, so how could she suddenly have a heart attack?!" The two doctors exchanged looks. "Well..." "Speak! Why did this happen? Who has my mom met?!" Dorothy shouted until she was out of breath. She was barely standing and had to lean against the wall for support. "l want to see the surveillance footage from the ward! You two, go back and save my mom now, or | won't let this go!" She didn't believe her mother would be provoked out of the blue.

She even found time to mess with Kenneth, which proved her mental state was calm. She was still considering her daughter's future.
How could it turn out like this? "Ms. Sanchez, the surveillance in the ward happened to break today. There's no way to check." This hit Dorothy like a bucket of ice water.
Her face turned pale as she numbly slid down the wall. Then suddenly, like grabbing a lifeline, she took out her phone to dial Everett's number.
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, | got it."
