Chapter 68
Her voice was weak, with a plea that was impossible to me.
Jeffrey had known Heather for many years. She always maintained a noble and elegant demeanor. That was the first time she was begging
“Ah fine”
He sighed, tumed around and left the ward
At the corner of the hospital corridor, Jeffrey lit a cigarette, took a puff, and dialed Everett’s number
After a few rings, his deep, gravelly voice finally came through
“What’s up?”
“Well, things are pretty bad over here with Heather. I could use a hand if you’m free
Tneed to get home early”
Jeffrey knew he would say that. He took a Frustrated drag of his cigarette. “Dant you think you’re being a bit harsh on Heather? After all, she developed acute appendicitis from working overtime. Putting aside the fact that we’ve been friends since childhood, as a leader of the Lopez Corporation, shouldn’t you at least visit a hardworking employee?”
“If it was a guy, I would have gone already. But I’m married now, and it’s not appropriate.”
“Married, married! You’re always using that as an excuse Have you forgotten all about friendship? Jeffrey raised his voce, Indignation for Heather, “What if your wife doesn’t want you to come? Would you also refuse to help me if Im in trouble?”

“Okay!”
She packed up her things and was about to leave when her mother called.
Not wanting anyone to overhear, Dorothy hurriedly found a secluded comer before answering.
“Hello, Mom.”
“When are you planning to introduce him? Is it that hard to arrange a meeting with your husband? Is he working 24/77
Bella’s barrage of questions left Dorothy speechless.
“He’s busy I’m busy too.”
“Fine, then you guys take your time. I’m checking out today”
“No!” Dorothy knew her mother was capable of doing just that, “Give me three days, okay? I definitely bring him to meet you! I’ve talked to him about it. He said he’s nervous and doesn’t know how to face you”
“Kidnapping my daughter, not even telling me about the registration, and he’s nervous! Ha!”
“Why do you have to talk like this? isn’t it good that he’s busy with work? Should he be a penniless bum with nothing to his name so that we can start from scratch?”
