Chapter 951
Now, Dorothy finally understood the truth of her lack of jealousy in the past. That was simplybecause Everett never let other women get close enough for her to feel threatened.
Had it been any other time, Everett would have catered to her every whim without question. Buttoday, he hesitated with his fork in hand, pulling at his lips slightly, "Babe, the most important thing isgetting you healthy."
"So, is she the only doctor that can help?"
"As of now, yes."
Dorothy opened her mouth to argue but swallowed her words instead, muttering a resigned, "Oh."
Everett glanced at her, his brows knitting together as if sensing her unrest, "What's up? Did Quincysay something to you?"
"No! She hasn't reached out. The last call was just to find you because she couldn't reach you."
"From now on, don't go meeting Quincy on a whim. If she calls, don't pick up. Just let me know,okay?"
Dorothy felt something was off with his instructions.
"Why? It seems like... you don't like me talking to Dr. Quincy?"
"Dorothy." Everett's tone suddenly became serious, "Do you trust me?"
After a moment's hesitation, she nodded, "Yes, I've said I would."
"Then listen to me. That's all I need you to do."novelbin
Despite having myriad of questions in her heart, Dorothy nodded in agreement. She had promisedto learn to trust him, to rely on him, and she intended to keep that promise.
...
After breakfast, Dorothy planned to visit Karen and her newborn at the hospital.
Abigail and Langston wanted to come along, but she refused.
"Aunt Karen just had surgery and needs to recover. The baby needs quiet, too. We'll visit themwhen Aunt Karen is better, okay?"
Abigail seemed ready to argue, but Langston agreed first, so she reluctantly nodded in assent.
Once in the car, Everett spoke softly, "You could spend more time with Karen at the hospital. I've gotsome stuff to handle with Jeffrey."
"Okay." Dorothy had no clue what they were up to, and she didn't pry, assuming it was business-related.
Being a CEO, Everett couldn't possibly spend all his time by her side.
Arriving at the hospital, Dorothy knocked and waited for Karen's voice before entering.
"Dorothy!" Karen almost burst into tears upon seeing her, "The baby cried so much last night. I feellike breaking down!"
Dorothy chuckled, "Already overwhelmed by motherhood?"
"I thought she'd be as easy as Abigail and Langston, but she's so fussy, and I... I can't bear to handher off to the nanny..."
Karen looked exhausted with the dark circles under her eyes.
Understanding the new mom's struggles, Dorothy approached and gently lifted the baby from thecrib, "See? She's quite calm now."
"That's because she cried herself out last night!"
"Karen, how about I stay with you tonight? You need to rest properly after giving birth, or you'll neverrecover."
Karen sighed, "I know I should let the nanny take her so I can have some peace, but... the moment Iclose my eyes, I feel uneasy, like something precious is out of my hands. I just can't relax!"
Dorothy smiled, "Welcome to motherhood, huh?"
