Book TRK
Chapter 1290
During the years without Everett, Kenneth had been living abroad with Langston. Given the gratitude owed, Kenneth could easily have coerced Dorothy into agreeing to be his girlfriend. He knew she would at least give it some thought if he asked. But he refrained from doing so, simply because he didn't want to put Dorothy in a difficult position. Such a man, Karen believed, would never use an antidote as leverage.
"Honey, don't be mad, I was just saying!"
"Even just saying isn't okay! Kenneth's love for Dorothy is pure, and now he's willing to put himself in danger for her. You can't talk like that!"
Jeffrey quickly nodded, realizing his mistake.
"I shouldn't have said that, sigh!"
Whether it was Everett or Kenneth, both were hopelessly romantic! They just hoped for a happy ending for everyone.
...
The airport was bustling, even in the evening. Jonathan's flight arrived on time at Eldorria City.
Waiting outside for the pick-up, Dorothy glanced at her wristwatch and then spoke to Kevin, who was driving, "We should go in now; he'll be out soon." "Alright."
Kevin nodded, got out of the car, and even opened the door for Dorothy, who smiled helplessly, "After all this time, I'm still not used to being waited on. You don't have to do it anymore." "It's just a habit."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
As a secretary, opening doors was second nature to him.
Walking in with Kevin, there was still some time before the plane would taxi to the gate.
While waiting, Dorothy suddenly tapped Kevin's shoulder and whispered, "Kevin, did Everett tell you anything before coming here?"
Upon hearing this, Kevin was initially taken aback, then smiled, "Mr. Lopez didn't mention anything."
"You don't have to hide it from me. I know him well enough to know he must have given you instructions." Dorothy understood Everett's nature; he was always one to plan ahead. "Mr. Lopez is just worried about you."
"I know." Dorothy smiled warmly, "That's why want to tell you, no matter what his father says or does, don't tell Everett. Not a word! If he asks, just say nothing happened, that his father was just grieving."
Kevin was momentarily stunned, "You two..."
"He worries about me, so I don't want him to worry! With the antidote situation, Everett has been losing sleep, tossing and turning all night He thinks I'm asleep, but I notice every move he makes! Now that we're close to resolving this, I don't want to stir up any trouble. You understand?"
He nodded, "I get it."
"Just do as I say, it'll be alright, and no one else will know."
If Everett's father ended up insulting or even physically assaulting her and Everett found out, it would inevitably lead to a dispute between father and son. At this point, Dorothy sincerely wished to avoid such a scenario!
All she wanted was to secure the antidote smoothly, so Everett could finally relax. For Dorothy, obtaining the antidote wasn't just about saving lives anymore; it was about easing Everett's burdened heart.
