Dorothy eyed her, "Does your comment carry sdeeper meaning?" "Just talking off the cuff," Quincy waved dismissively. "Since I've explained myself, I won't keep you from your tasks." This tDorothy didn't stop her, but as she watched Quincy walk away, she couldn't help but feel that the Quincy standing before her now was different from the one back in Swevia Country, who was solely devoted to medicine and her patients.
The hospital showed no signs of progress. The doctors had cout several times, but all Jonathan could get out of them was that the situation was still critical, and the outlook wasn't good.

"No, I'll stay. Your mother might call forif she wakes up." In his own way, Jonathan had always been caring towards his wife, and Everett had inherited that single-minded devotion when it cto relationships.
"I can stay just as well." Looking up at his son, Jonathan was struck by how much he had grown. He was far from the infant he once held in his arms, and no longer the quiet, reserved boy from his school days.
"The rift between you and your mom is deep. Seeing you might upset her, especially in her condition..." He worried that another argument between mother and son could be disastrous.
"As long as she doesn't bring up Dorothy, I won't mention her." "Who can control your mom?" Jonathan sighed. "She's been pampered all her life, first by her family and then by me. You know what happened next... I let things slide too far, trying to keep her I spirits up and not worsen her depression." et It had led to a huge mess. If not for Everett's intervention, it would have been easy to silence Dorothy and keep Bella's truth hidden, protecting his wife as if nothing had happened.
But...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe unexpected part was Everett's feelings for Dorothy, which seemed to surpass even the bond between mother and son. Jonathan had been skeptical at first, but now he had no choice but to believe it.
"You're protecting your wife, which is understandable. I'm protecting my loved ones, and you should understand that too," Everett maintained his stance.
No one could speak ill of Dorothy in his presence.
"What choice do I have now?" Jonathan had already stepped back in the company, leaving the Lopez Corporation in his son's hands. He had no say anymore.
And even if he hadn't stepped back, it's not like the CEO position at the Lopez Corporation would have given him leverage over his son. He feared that if the standoff continued, his son might walk away, leaving the future of the Lopez Corporation uncertain. "Don't interfere with Quincy's family anymore," Everett suddenly remembered to mention.
Jonathan frowned, "Are you aware of what Ronin is like? He might lseem cheerful, but he's insatiably greedy and unprincipled. He'd sacrifice anyone to get what he wants. That's why their family is in their current state. Be careful." "How's his relationship with his daughter?" Caught off guard by the question, Jonathan paused, "I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine it's good."
