He was thinking, ‘What she would be like if she is pregnant?’
Maybe because the imagination was so beautiful, he didn’t even realize he was smiling.
Dolores was enjoying the soup Matthew gave her and she totally didn’t notice his unusual smile. It was
spring time but the temperature was still low, hot soup was the best thing to warm up body.
Dolores went to the bathroom in the middle of the dinner and was stopped by a waitress when she was
coming out, “Hello, are you Ms. Flores?”
Instead of saying ‘yes’, Dolores had an odd feeling and asked alertly, “What’s going on?”
The waitress took out a letter from her pocket, “There is a gentleman in the wheelchair wanted me to
pass this to you.”
Charles told her to give this to Dolores when he bribed the waitress.
So the waitress knew she should came up to Dolores. The reason why she asked her name was only
to double check in case she messed it up. She didn’t expect Dolores was so cautious that she could
only take the letter out.
Dolores looked around instinctively, but the waitress said, “He has gone.”
Charles was in City B already?
She took over the letter and hesitated for a second before opening it. There was not much content in
the letter, only a paragraph, “I’m at Kong-Tsing Hotel, Room 608. Come here I want to tell you
something.”
Dolores frowned and got a strange feeling, and she didn’t plan to go there.
She was not interested in it at all.
She torn and dumped the letter into a trash bin then headed towards the dining hall. Matthew was on
the phone with a serious look. Dolores sat down and asked after he hung up the phone, “Who was
that?”
Matthew said it was from Marina. She said they were in the hospital because Jeffery Harris had a car
accident. Matthew had to go check on it because their son was abroad.
He stood up and said, “I will send you home first.”
Dolores soon became tensed and felt like it was related to Charles. Otherwise how could it be such a
coincidence? She heard the news about car accident right after she read the letter.
She looked up Matthew and said, “You can go to hospital first, I will take a taxi back.”
Matthew pursed his lips as he was worried about her.
Dolores grabbed his hand and said, “Don’t treat me like a child. I was so independent before I met you.
I’m an adult now, I can take care of myself.”
Matthew thought about it and said, “Call me when you are at home.”
Dolores nodded firmly and asked him, “You may go now!”
After Matthew left, it took Dolores a while to leave the restaurant. She waited for the taxi at the side of
the road. Even though it was already in February, the weather was still chilly, so she tightened her coat
around her with her hands.
A car stopped beside her, Tom got off the car and opened the door, inviting Dolores to get on the car,
“Please, Ms. Flores.”
Tom was the assistant of Charles. Now she affirmed that Charles definitely got involved with this.
Otherwise, how would everything happen in such a coincidence?
Tom arrived as soon as Matthew left.
Now she was quite curious in what Charles was going to tell her.
She stooped and got in the car.
The car started soon and sent her to the hotel.
Tom got off the car first to open the door for Dolores after they arrived. After Dolores was out of the car,
Tom gave a ‘please’ gesture. Dolores took a glance at him and walked into the hotel.
Tom guided her to walk through hall and get in the lift to 6th floor. When they arrived at Room 608, Tom
stood beside the door, “Mr. Flores, please. Mr. White is waiting for you.”
Dolores pressed down the handle and opened the door.
It was very warm in the room and there were several French windows right next to the living room.
Charles was sitting there with his back against the door. It either seemed like he was enjoying the
gorgeous night view or he was waiting for someone.
She walked inside the room.
“You are here.”
Charles didn’t look back.
“Of course I have to pay you a visit as you spent a lot of effort on me.” Dolores stood beside him
looking outside. The night view of B City was indeed fabulous, as the whole city covered by neon light.
It was refulgent and splendid.
“No wonder you wanted to come back, it is truly beautiful.”
“No, it wasn’t the reason I came back. I’m here for who’s living in the city.”
Charles finally turned back and looked at her.
But Dolores didn’t face him but left her side face to him.
“If Jeffery hasn’t had an accident, would you still come here?”
“No.” Dolores answered.
Charles smiled helplessly, “Don’t you think I am hurt.”
“I mean, if you truly got hurt, you might get hurt a long time ago.”
After all, he knew what the relationship between her and Matthew was when they were in White City.
She didn’t want to hurt him, so she wouldn’t come to see him.
“I’m here for half a month.” Charles said slightly.
Dolores looked at him in surprise, ‘He came here for half a month?’
‘What did he do during the time?’
“It must not be that simple as Jeffery got a car accident?”
Dolores was so confused, ‘Isn’t it easier to find her directly? Why he put so much effort on planning
other things.
Charles didn’t hide, and he said, “I knew it.”
“What did you know?” Dolores had a bad feeling.
“I know Jeffery chopped my foster father’s finger.” Charles was gazing at Dolores deeply, “You know
that, right? You know everything about it. But you promised someone you wouldn’t tell the truth, right?”
Dolores clenched her hands, and didn’t answer him directly, “So you are here to take revenge? So
Jeffery was doomed and you did it on purpose since long time ago?”
Charles managed to made Kevin Forbis willingly tell him that Jeffery cut Nathan White’s finger back
then.
But he didn’t tell him more. Charles could tell that Kevin also hated Jeffery very much and that was why
he was willing to tell him the truth.
It was totally understandable that his sister was imprisoned after all. Therefore, Kevin took advantage
of Charles to take revenge on Jeffery for his little sister.
“That’s what you wanted to tell me?” Dolores neither could stop him nor tell Matthew what Charles did.
“No, I want to see you.” Charles looked at her.
Dolores pretended relaxed, “I have husband.”
Charles smiled bitterly, “Can you not mention it?”
Dolores didn’t keep on with the topic, “It’s hard to do something on him. You have to be aware that you
are in B City not White City. But if you decided already then I won’t stop you, I know everyone has their
own choice. However, I do want to remind you, an eye for an eye will only lead a dead end.”
‘If Charles does something on Jeffery, then what about Nathan?’
‘If they can go back to the old days, they wouldn’t be imprisoned?’
No.
The so-called revenge was only a comfort for people who were still alive.
“I have to go.” Dolores was about to leave.
Charles called and asked her, “If your family had such miserable life, can you also forgive the
murderer?”
Dolores paused but she didn’t answer him. Because she was not sure. It seemed quite hard to give up
all the resentment, just like she hated Randolph Flores.
