Chapter 1367
Dorothy's mind raced with fears, the kind that only come with the possibility of pregnancy. Ignoring the chaos around her, she frantically dialed Everett's number... "Can you come to my office, like, now? Something might've happened!"
...
Dorothy was never one to overreact. If she wasn't facing a crisis, she wouldn't dream of making this call.
So, even in the middle of a meeting, Everett shot up and dashed out the door!
"Don't worry, I'm on my way!"
He couldn't bear to hang up, listening to Dorothy's voice, teetering on the edge of tears. Everett wished for teleportation powers to be by her side this instant! "Everett... I can't move, my lower abdomen hurts so much..."
Her voice trembled with barely concealed panic!
If she was indeed pregnant, this was the baby Dorothy had longed for. She couldn't bear the thought of losing it before even knowing for sure.
"I'll call an ambulance, just stay on the line with me, okay? Don't be scared!"
Everett sped through the streets, ignoring traffic lights, until he reached Trust-E Investments.
He arrived before the ambulance did.
"Dorothy!"
With long strides, he rushed over and knelt to wrap her in his arms, "How are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?"
Nodding, Dorothy's usual calm was shattered.
Even held by Everett, her hand trembled uncontrollably, her voice quivered, "I was pushed and hit a wall... then my lower abdomen started hurting, and I haven't dared to move..." Dorothy knew she should check for any bleeding, even though she wasn't sure about the pregnancy!
But she was paralyzed with fear.
The mere possibility was too much for Dorothy, already reeling from a streak of bad events.

Nearby, security guards detained Perdita, ensuring she had no chance of escape.
Everett, with his sharp instincts, could guess what had happened without Dorothy saying a word.
But Dorothy was his priority, not settling scores.
Soon, the ambulance arrived.
Everett gently lifted Dorothy into it.
Seeing the medics take over, he finally allowed himself a moment of relief before calling Kevin.
"Get over to Trust-E, handle what happened here."
Whoever dared to harm Dorothy wouldn't get off easy.
After hanging up, Everett locked eyes with Dorothy, sensing she had more to say.
He spoke softly, "You can tell me anything."
"Everett... if, when we get to the hospital, it turns out I'm okay, don't go too hard on Perdita. Let the cops handle her. But if... if it's about the pregnancy, you have to do
everything to save our baby!ver

Hearing her voice, close to breaking, Everett felt his own heart shatter.
"Of course, I will! That's my child too."
"I'm scared you might worry about

Othy shook her head, "Please, we to keep it."
