Karen caught Kenneth's gaze from across the room.

"Lethave a word with my brother." "Alright." After hanging up the call, before Karen could even speak, Kenneth beat her to it.

"Is Dorothy not up for hanging out?" "She does, but it's a bit complicated right now! Everett's at her place." Kenneth furrowed his brows instantly.

"Why is he bothering Dorothy again? Didn't they already break up?" "According to Dorothy, the kids asked him to cover! And then Everett got sick, and just when Kevin was tied up and couldn't pick him up, so Dorothy couldn't make it." "...Everett is sick?" "Yeah! And it doesn't seem like he's faking it; he ended up in the hospital." Karen paused, then suddenly added, "Do you think... maybe Everett broke up out of the blue because he's got sterminal illness? And he wanted to spare Dorothy the trouble, so he just asked for a breakup all of a sudden?" It's just like a plot from a TV series! After all, Everett had shown such deep love before, how could he just decide to leave Dorothy because of his mother's death? If it was about slegal trouble that just cup, that would be understandable. But that had been dragging on for years, Everett should have been prepared for that! Even when Dorothy asked to drop the charges, it was Everett who refused.

"No way, Dorothy went to the hospital, right? What did the doctor say?" "Dorothy didn't tellthat part." Kenneth smirked, "Then it's not what you're thinking. If Everett really had sserious illness, Dorothy would have known, especially after visiting the hospital." "You're right." "Let's not push her then. If she's not free today, I won't make it hard for her." Kenneth didn't want Dorothy to have any bad impressions of him.

Her life was complicated enough. If he could help, great; if not, he didn't want to add to her troubles.

After ending the call, Dorothy sighed in relief.

Aside from Everett's situation, she genuinely didn't want to meet Kenneth.

Abigail and Langston's laughter occasionally echoed from their room, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Dorothy glanced in that direction, feeling torn.

She wanted Kevin to free up and take Everett away, not wanting him at her place! Yet, she also wished Kevin would delay, just a bit longer, so the kids could spend more twith their dad, allowing this household to feel complete for a while longer...

After a while, Everett walked out of the room with long strides.

"It's getting dark; I should head out." Dorothy glanced at him, standing up, "Did Kevin come?" Everett shook his head, "No, he's still tied up. I'll just hail a cab." "At this hour? What if you pass out in the cab?" Despite herself, Dorothy's concern for him was evident.

Everett gave a half-smile, "I should be fine, unlikely to happen." "And you say unlikely, were you not the one who ended up in the hospital today?" She crossed her arms, eyeing the man before her, "Just wait here for Kevin. I'm not kicking you out anymore."
