Karen's words usually made Dorothy chuckle in response. But this time, she looked at Karen with earnest eyes.

"You'll support me no matter what | do?" she asked.

"Absolutely!" "Good." Dorothy flashed a smile. Having someone in her corner was all she needed.

In the end, Dorothy still had Jeffrey accompany Karen for the check-up.

The two bickered playfully as they went, but as a father, Jeffrey didn't want to miss a single moment of his little one's growth.

That was a feeling Dorothy understood all too well.

Dorothy stepped out of the hospital alone and looked up at the sky instinctively.

The weather was splendid today with an endless expanse of azure, dotted leisurely with a few carefree clouds.

A sudden impulse struck her.

She wanted to escape the muddle of life, to forget who she was, and before the final verdict was in, to gallop across the prairies, to race freely in vast open spaces.

"It's not that tic.” Dorothy chuckled, having donned a swipe of lipstick for Kenneth's girlfriend's sake, adding a touch of color to her otherwise pallid complexion, "I've been eating, just not much appetite.” "Why don't you move in with me?"

"No reason. You should be grateful | haven't completely written you off!" Jeffrey quickly shrank back and fell silent.

As they approached the agreed-upon diner, Dorothy spotted Kenneth's car parked on the curb. He seemed to arrive early "| still can't believe Kenneth has moved on!" Karen whispered to Dorothy.
