Chapter 1117
If he really wanted to leave, Mr. Lopez would've definitely called him himself!
Listening to Dorothy earlier, it didn't sound like Mr. Lopez had fainted or was out cold. As long as Mr. Lopez was conscious, there was no way Dorothy would be the one calling him! This was probably just the boss making excuses not to leave.
[This year's bonuses are doubled.]
Everett texted back, keeping it short and sweet.
Quickly, Kevin replied: [Long live Mr. Lopez.]
Everett couldn't help but smirk, then glanced outside.
Dorothy was tidying up the couch, with Abigail and Langston playing nearby.
This scene...
He felt everything he did was worth it, and soon, he would be back with his family!
Once Dorothy took the antidote, once... she was out of danger.
"Dad! Mommy said you're feeling really bad?"
Langston must have asked Dorothy and suddenly ran into the kitchen.
Everett patted his head, smiling, "Dad's fine."
Langston pouted, "So you're pretending again just to stay?"
Although true, having his son bluntly say it out loud was still a bit embarrassing.
"Dad, how long are you gonna keep this up? Why don't you pretend to be dizzy later and just stay over?"
Everett sighed, "No can do, if I really fainted, your mom would definitely send me away."
He had to pretend to be weak.
Dorothy was stubborn and difficult to talk to, but she had a soft heart.
She wouldn't really kick him out.
Dorothy finished tidying up the couch and then started checking Abigail and Langston's homework.
Her life was quite fulfilling, always busy with something.
As long as she wasn't idle, it was fine.
In the kitchen, Everett, holding Langston's hand, walked out.
Dorothy glanced over subconsciously but didn't plan on engaging.
Her phone suddenly rang, catching Everett's immediate attention!
It was Karen.
"Hey, Karen."
Hearing this, Everett seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He stopped standing around and joined Abigail and Langston.
"What are you up to? Let's go out for a bit! I'm free today."
"I'll pass, don't feel like moving." With Everett still around, how could she leave?
Dorothy was still worried Everett might faint.
After all, him being hospitalized was true.
"Come on! My brother's coming too; he said he wants to talk to you."
Hearing Kenneth was involved made Dorothy even more hesitant.
"Tell your brother to rest up; his leg's still healing. He shouldn't be leaving

"Your brother," once she said that, Everett instantly looked over-
Who else could Karen's brother be?
"Him, listen? I've told him several times,

Karen sounded really troubled.
"What does he want to talk about?"
"I honestly don't know, I swear! If I did, I'd tell you."
Dorothy frowned, "I really don't want to go out."
"Then brace yourself for my brother to come looking for you."
"... No, don't let him come!" Dorothy blurted out instinctively, "Don't let him come here."
Everett was still there!
