She even took the baby with her, but left the nanny behind!" Jeffrey searched around the house again, but it seemed Karen had left with practically nothing but their daughter in tow.
"Think, I'll help you look too, along with Dorothy." "Alright." After hanging up, Jeffrey felt like slapping himself! It had been ages since he last hit the bars. How could he have just succumbed to the temptation after a minor squabble and gone off to drown his sorrows with Wesley! Now, his wife was gone, and so was his daughter! Thinking of Karen's temper, he was at his wit's end! He had promised her he would steer clear of bars, and it wasn't that he had forgotten; he just thought a quick drink wouldn't hurt and Karen wouldn't need to know!

Dorothy and Everett left Karen's parents' house and tried calling Karen, only to find her line busy.
"Could it be that Jeffrey has already made amends?" "Do you really think Karen would be so easily appeased?" Everett raised an eyebrow.

"Easy there, Dorothy, no running." "I'm fine, just worried, you know?"
"They're just having a spat. Your health... that's what matters." Everett ΟΠ was walking on eggshells every day, fearing Dorothy might end up in the hospital again. He couldn't bear the thought of her exerting herself. Seeing his serious concern, Dorothy nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll take it slow." She leaned in to give Everett a peck on the cheek, "I'm really fine!" "By the tyou're not, it'll be too late."
If it wasn't for Dorothy being right there, Everett would uld have preferred to keep her in the dark about such E troubles. Holding her hand, Everett led her to the car, opening the door for her before circling back to the driver's seat.
