"Okay, I'm on it!" The hospital director didn't dare to ask further. He quickly called his subordinates to get the files.
There was no talk of privacy now. After all, if he offended Everett, it was hard to say if this hospital would still be around or not.
Everett sat silently in a chair, the air around him so tense that it seemed to solidify. Nobody in the room dared to even breathe.
The silence was finally broken by the ring of a cell phone.
It was a call from Amanda.
Everett had already hung up on her once, but she had called back.
So he answered on the second ring.
"Mother." "You remember I'm your mother, do you? Why did you hang up on me?" Amanda accused. "Now you don't even want me as your mother, is that it?" Everett's eyebrows furrowed, and he had a hunch about what was happening.
Only Heather could have brought his mother into this.
"Is there something you need, Mom? I'm busy." "Busy? Busy looking for a child that might not even be yours?" "Right." Everett saw no need to hide. He admitted outright, "If he looks like me, he might be my son, and I have to find him." Amanda was so angry that she wished she could fly home now.
"The Lopez family does not acknowledge bastards! Don't give me that nonsense. You really want to piss me off, don't you?" "There's no negotiation on this. If he's mine, I have to take responsibility." "Then who's the mother of this child? Apart from Dorothy, who have you been with?" Everett pursed his lips, silent.
Amanda, smart as she was, quickly realized, "Only Dorothy? So is the child hers?" “I don’t know. I haven't figured it out yet." Everett suddenly denied it.
He was worried that Amanda might be faster than him, and if she did anything against Dorothy, he wouldn't be able to intervene in time, and things would get worse.
Moreover, another person wanting to harm Dorothy was never good news.
"Don’t you remember who you slept with?" "No, I'm not quite sure, so I need to investigate.” "You're being too unfair to Heather! You've already been married twice, have a child, and I don't even know how to face Heather! She's still waiting for you!" Amanda was protective of Heather, as if she were her own daughter. "You were reckless, ran off to marry that Dorothy, and then she dumped you, didn't she? I let Heather get closer to you, but she said she was afraid you'd hate her, and wanted you to calm down before you two talking. But then you suddenly announced you were marrying someone else!" After saying all these words, Amanda began to cough violently.
Knowing his mother was in poor health, Everett couldn't argue. He could only try his best not to involve Dorothy in this.
"Mother, you should see a doctor. I can handle things here." "Your way of handling things is to hurt Heather! I haven't even digested the news of your sudden marriage, and now you're telling me you have an illegitimate child! How am I supposed to ask Heather to marry you now?" "Mother, I don't plan on marrying her. I don't understand why you insist on me being with her!" Everett thought that it couldn't be just about liking Heather to force his own son this much.
But Amanda just paused and didn't say anything.
"I just like her!" she finally said.
