Kevin was the only person Everett trusted to handle this matter.
Just as Kevin was about to hang up, Everett added one more thing.
"Keep an eye on Heather." "Heather? Jeffrey just said she was with him when the boy’s missing occurred.” "She didn't go doesn't mean she didn't send someone else.” Everett felt that the part Jeffrey mentioned about Heather during the incident was quite strange.
Firstly, since when did she move to that far-off place? Moreover, in all the years he knew Heather, she never had a history of heart disease. Yet, at such a crucial moment, she suddenly fell ill and was quickly rushed to the hospital, only to find out she was fine.
This was suspicious.
"Alright, Mr. Lopez, I'll start checking her whereabouts now." "Don't alert her. I'm afraid she'll do something to the kid." "Okay." As he hung up, Everett glanced out of the car window.
They were almost at the hospital. His emotions were a whirlpool of anxiety and fear.
He was scared.
Scared that the results wouldn't be what he hoped for.
He hoped that the child was indeed Dorothy and his. That way, even if she had truly moved on, he would still have a child, which was a reason to keep living.
Jeffrey was frantic when the child went missing.
He had pulled all his connections to search for the child, almost exhausting all his resources.
Actually, it was not that Jeffrey was particularly afraid of Everett blaming him, but that child was really cute.
Jeffrey, who never had a fondness for children, felt that if the child was his, he would love and cherish him dearly.
His search was so intense that he didn't even notice when Heather called.
By the time he saw the missed call, almost an hour had passed.
"What is it? I'm busy." "Busy? Looking for the child?" Heather feigned surprise, "You still haven't found him?" "No.
There was no lead at all! "I told you long ago, it must be the child's family who took him. With such a vast number of people, where would you even begin to look? Now you've upset Everett, and the child is still missing. How can he focus on his work? The Lopez Corporation depends on him!" "Can you stop talking? I'm really stressed out right now!" Jeffrey's voice was firm, his tone harsh, "Everett just said the child might be Dorothy's. It scared the hell out of me. I still don't know if it's true." Heather was silent for a few seconds, then her voice instantly rose.
"What did you say? Dorothy?" "Yes!" "But you said she was infertile! You saw it yourself at the hospital!" "That's why I never thought much about it." If he had thought harder, he might have realized it sooner.
"Where's Everett now?" "He's at the hospital checking records to see if Dorothy was really pregnant when they divorced." As soon as Jeffrey finished his words, Heather hung up.
He frowned in irritation, took a deep breath, and hurried forward to stop a passerby, "Have you seen this child? He's fair-skinned and has big eyes." The passerby glanced at him and shook his head. "No." Jeffrey immediately went to ask another person.
He regretted so much going to pick up Heather from the hospital! He should've woken the child up and taken him along.
