Chapter 67
“If it’s a work injury, the company has a specific department for that.”
He didn’t need to worry his pretty little head about it.
Event’s response was smooth as si his expression as casual as if he was talking about the weather.
If it wasn’t for the tattoo, and the passcode to his house, it was difficult to tell whether he really gave a damn about Heather.
“But aren’t you guys… friends?”
“So, you plan to visit her with me?”
Dorothy shook her head, I’ve been quite swamped lately”
“Busy with that project from a guy named Kenneth?” Everett’s hand, holding a cup of milk, paused as he looked at her.
“Not entirely busy with just that. I’m also working on the Social Networking Service project with Kevin,”
She didn’t seem guilty at all, even under Everett’s gaze.
“Mhm, keep up the good work.”
Then he didn’t say anything more. After they finished breakfast, they both went to work.
In the hospital, Heather, who just had an acute appendicitis surgery, was slowly waking up
Her vision was a bit blurry when she saw a man’s shadow in front of her!
“Everett…”
Hearing her voice, the man turned around
H was Jeffrey
“You finally decided to open your eyes! If you didn’t wake up. I was about to call the doctor!”
Not seeing the man she loved, Heather slowly closed her eyes and moistened her dry lips.
“Just you?”
“Yeah! I’ve been sitting vigil by your side all night. Look, I even have bags under my eyes!” Jeffrey could talk non–stop whenever he opened his mouth.
Heather felt a dull pain from her lower abdomen, but it was nothing compared to her heartache.
She never thought that even after working her ass off for Everett, she still couldn’t see him when she woke up!
“Thanks” Heather was always polite and distant to Jeffrey. Because his family, the Turner family and the Lopez family were long–time friends, if anyone saw her being too close to Jeffrey, she was afraid that Everett’s parents would have despised her
After all, no parents would accept their daughter–in–law having scandals.
Everything she did was in preparation for marrying Everett
“We’re friends! No need for formalities!” Jeffrey may have seemed careless, but he was pretty diligent when it came to taking care of people. He asked, “Do you want some water? The doctor said you can’t eat anything for now.”
Heather shook her head. Her delicate face was pale and bloodless.
“Tell me if you need anything.”
“I want you to cóll Everett over”
Even Jeffrey, who
asn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, understood what Heather meant, “Why bother? He really likes that girl.” Perhaps Jeffrey once thought that when Everett said he liked someone, it was just an excuse not to get married. But ever since he saw his efforts for her he knew Everett was serious.
“Don’t you think he likes Dorothy because she looks a lot like me?”
Jeffrey blinked, recalling Dorothy’s face in his mind.
To be honest, they did have some similarities.
“But he doesn’t need a substitute.”
“Because he doesn’t want to obey his family’s arrangement.”
Jeffrey didn’t say anything, because he felt this reason was a bit of a stretch.

Not to mention that Everett was very iial and had a good relationship with his parents among the wealthy families. Just talking about
his personality, he didn’t seem like the type to casually put a woman in his heart.
Just give him a call, tell him I’m in bad shape, okay? I want to see him.”
