Dorothy gazed at her son, Langston, in shock as he flashed a row of tiny and even teeth, winking ather.
“You’ve got to bring him back, Mom. I’m wasting away here without his cooking!”
I will… I promise I’ll find him.”
Kenneth and Karen couldn’t make out what the mother and son were discussing, but the smile finallybreaking across Dorothy’s face was enough to let them breathe a sigh of relief.
The relentless toil of recent days had aged Kenneth by more than a decade.
“Kenneth, leave this to me. You need to get some rest!”
Karen, too, felt for her cousin. The weariness in his eyes was unmistakable, his clothes unchanged fordays. He’d been Dorothy’s steadfast guardian, and nobody could keep up that pace forever.
“But she…”
“Don’t worry! Before you wake, I’ll be right here.” Karen patted his shoulder. You resting row means youcan take better care of Dorothy later.”
Kenneth glanced at Dorothy lying in the bed and radded reluctantly. Before leaving, he couldn’t help butfuss. “She’s emotionally fragile right now, so dont upset her! Call me immediately if anything happens,and keep an eye on her bandages for any bleeding.”
“Jeez, I can lake care of her! Plus, we’w got the doctors here”
When had he turned into such a worrywart?
Helpless, Kenneth managed a half–smile, then approached Dorothy’s bedside and spoke gently, Tilljust crash at a nearby hotel and come back once I’ve rested. Have a good chat with Karen andLangston.”
Dorothy nodded and murmured her thanks, which Kenneth wished he didn’t have to hear. It onlyreminded him that he was still an outsider.

The doctors had emerged several times with grim updates: Everett’s condition was critical without signsof improvement. If things continued this way, they feared the worst.
Panic was creeping up on Jonathan, though he maintained a facade of calm
After much contemplation, he decided to prepare for every outcome and made a call, ‘Bring the twokids Dorothy had for the Lopez family to Swevia Country.”
In the event of a tragedy, the Lopez family would still have an heir.

If their origins leaked, it would tamish the family’s reputation.
“Understood, Jonathan.”
“Also, prepare a’ check for fifty million for Dorothy. Than, by whatever means necessary, get her to signthe agreement to relinquish her parental rights.”
