Chapter 95
The night before Bella’s surgery, Dorothy didn’t stay at Karen’s place, but accompanied her mother in the hospital.
She knew that Bella, though acting tough, must have been scared inside.
No matter how it was sliced, surgery was still a scary thing.
“The doctor said your surgery has a high success rate. And in about a fortnight, you should be able to get discharged.” Dorothy could only bring up positive things to lighten her mother’s mood.
“I know. The chief surgeon came and talked to me yesterday.” Bella was required to fast before the surgery, so she had to lie in bed and minimize her movements. Even the amount of water she could drink was limited, “You don’t need to worry about me. I’m more worried about you.”
As she was wiping her mother’s arm, she paused slightly. “Ive got nothing to worry about”
“You two are married but haven’t had a wedding yet! That guy isn’t pulling your leg, is he? He’s legally married to you but not sneaking off with other women behind your back, is he?” Bella’s biggest fear was this.
She had been burned before and was naturally more worried about her daughter walking the same path.
“That won’t happen,” Dorothy knew that in her mother’s eyes, no man was a good guy
“When I was young. I thought so too.”
Dorothy didn’t say anything
“You look just like I did back then! No, I need to have a word with this Kenneth His parents also need to come over and bear witness.” With that Bella was about to make a phone call
Dorothy quickly stopped her “What are you doing? His late, they’re probably resting
“It’s only 7 pm! And I want to disturb them at inconvenient times to see how sincere Kenneth and his family are!”
Her mother’s approach and ideas always caught Dorothy off guard.
She thought. “If she keeps this up, my marriage will be in trouble even if there isn’t any to begin with”
Luckily, Kenneth was just a ruse. Once her mother’s surgery was over, the whole act would have been over too!
ool if she had really married, what men could have put up with her mother’s dramatic nature?.
That was the real reason why Dorothy had no interest in romance for so many years.
She didn’t want to inflict her warped family environment on an average person.
“Are you complaining about me again?” Bella was not pleased to hear this. “Dorothy, have you thought about how everything I do is for your sake? I’m your mother, and I don’t want you to be duped like I was!”
Dorothy sighed, “I know you mean well. How about this? Alter your surgery, once I’ve finished my project at work and received my bonus, I’ll repay him and then get a divorce.”
Of course, “him” referred to Evereit
“No way!” Bella immediately rejected the idea. “You’re a young woman. You can’t just divorce him like that!
“Don’t you think it’s better to be single than to be calculating in a relationship?”
She was talking to her mother but also to herself.
Ever since Everett suddenly entered her life, she was beginning to get used to his presence and occasionally tangled up over his relationship with Heather.
It was so tiring
It was better when she was alone, just working and earning money every day, not having to think about anything else, let alone being emotionally affected by another person.
That feeling was awful
