Just this was enough to shatter the facade Dorothy had been painstakingly maintaining.

Even in his unconscious state, he was still calling out her name.

"Forget about me, Everett." If she could turn back time, she would have deleted Everett from her contacts without a second thought. She wouldn't even have joined the same class group as him. That way, she would have never crossed paths with this man again.

He had given her the most precious and purest love in the world, something that was truly unique.

It was the most blatant favoritism she had ever experienced in her twenty-something years of life.

Alas, the "love experience’ coupon had expired, and she had to go back to the real world.

"Dorothy..." Everett, with his eyes tightly shut, muttered once again, seeming to mumble something.

Dorothy leaned in cautiously to listen, barely making out the words.

He was saying, “Don't divorce me.” Everett's hospitalization eventually couldn't be kept a secret.

When Heather rushed to the hospital, she saw Jeffrey and immediately started complaining.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a big deal! What if something dangerous happened?!" "It was his wish not to let others know." Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. "I only told you because | couldn't stand it!" Heather detected something off with him. "What do you mean?" "He drank himself into this state because of Dorothy. But when Dorothy came, she looked so indifferent.” Jeffrey was fuming as he recalled her behavior. "If it weren't for her, would Everett's mom have to be rushed to the ER so many times? Yet that woman is still ungrateful, saying things like it's stressful being with Everett. She even wants to break up with him!" "Dorothy has always been like this. She's cold-blooded." Heather said calmly, "Otherwise, how could she set me up?" Jeffrey scoffed. "But karma has its way. She had a medical examination here and found out she couldn't conceive! Ha! Women like her should not be allowed to have children; she doesn't deserve it!" "Hold on." Heather interrupted him. Her eyes flickered as she asked, "Did you say Dorothy is infertile now?" "Yes! | saw the doctor come over and tell her. He even advised her to discuss with her husband what to do next." Jeffrey was talking to himself, not noticing the smirk creeping up Heather's face.

With Dorothy unable to conceive, she didn't need to worry about any threats. She certainly didn't want to become someone else's stepmother.

"I'm going to check on him." "Hey, don't..." Before Jeffrey could finish, Heather had already pushed open the door to the ward.

In the bed, Everett was still unconscious. His pale lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were furrowed.

Rarely did she get a chance to get this close to him. Heather even wished time could slow down right now.

Wouldn't it be great if he could always be this quiet and this receptive to her? She despised his so-called chivalrous demeanor and etiquette.

If only Everett was like those men at work who always ogled her. Then everything would fall into place, and everyone would be happy.

Heather slowly reached out towards Everett's cheek, something she had always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to.

She thought today was finally the day, but...

"What are you doing?"
