Chapter 474
The bodyguard glanced at Jeffrey, then at Karen, hesitating before daring to open the dan
Fearing they might change their minds again, Karen balled inside, only to be overwhelmed by the sheer size of the place
Elevators and staircases flanked her on either side, leaving her clueless about which way to go.
Jeffrey, watching her buzzing around like a headless chicken couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smirk,
“What’s so funny?”
“I smile because I want to, Jeffrey spread his hands, arching an eyebrow playfully, inadvertently pulling at his wound, which
immediately stiffened his grin into a grimace.
Karen pointed at the bandage on his head, “Laughing ton hand can bite you back! Did Heather give you that wound?”
If you’re looking for them, go left! Jeffrey surely coudn’t wait to get rid of this troublesome woman She might not be the sharpest
at banter but she sure knew how to hit where it hurt
With a triumphant grin, Karen tumed left, muttening under her breath, “How many sick people can the Lopez family pass by have
to
need such a massive private hospital?”
Must be nice to have money to burn!
Dorothy stepped out of the ICU just in time to see Kasen ascend the stairs, her eyes lighting up with joy then quickly cast down
in guilt “I’m sorry for leibng you and Kenneth down
Karen waved it off nonchalantly, Forget that! You look a lot more lively than when you were laid up at hospital in Elcorria City
Have you
checked on Eve’ll?
Dorothy nodded, “Yeah, but he hasn’t woken up yet!
“So...”
“But he’s cut of danger now”
Karen nodded in reliel, “That’s good. But how did you get in here? I got stopped by the doorman on my way in.
“It was Fyrett’s father who let me in Dorothy concealed the bargain she had struck she spilled the beans, Karen, with her fiery
temper, would undoubtedly argue with the Lopez family!
Karen and Kenneth adored those kids, and they would be just as disappointed in Dorothy for agiening to such a deal....
Yet facing the power of the Lopez family Dorothy had no choice if she wanted to see Everett.
“They just let you in! Please, they’re not that kind!” Karen squatted in front of Dorothy’s wheelchair to meet her eye. ‘How are you
feeling“”
Tm fine! Now that I’ve seen Everett, I can rest easy.”
Karen exhaled a sigh of relief, then, as if struck by a thought, whispered, “Tran into Jeffrey on my way here! Did he trek all the
way here to plead Heather’s case?‘
Jeffrey?
Dorothy pondered for a moment before shaking her head, ‘I don’t know He’s a friend of Heather’s, but he’s also a friend of
Everett’s. After finding out what happened, I doubt he’d take Heather’s side anymore”
She was unaware of Jeffrey’s car accident. The last time she saw him was because of a dispute with Lane, and even then, his
tone with her was less than friendly – actually, it was always frosty
“Well, you can never be sure! The man’s completely love stricken, a total lapdog. Remember how he used to pine after Heather
even trying to play matchmaker with her and Everett! That goes to show there’s no telling what he might do.”
“Karen! Next time you decide to bad–mouth someone, could you at least check your surroundings?”
Suddenly, Karen and Dorothy’s gazes snapped toward the source of the voice.
There was Jeffrey, with a bandage atop his head and a limp in his step, making his way towards them.

He too was recovering from a serious condition, rawing only just been awakened by a doctor summoned by Everett Had it not
been for
the gravity of the situation, Jeffrey would have been bedridden in the hospital for a while longer.
Karen pursed her lips, about to retort, when the doctor rushed out of the ICU.
“Iverell’s awake! Hes awake?
