Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 1005:

Jealousy flashed in Collin’s eyes. Even Dolores had to step in and manage things now.

After taking a moment to consider, Collin answered, “I’ll have Dustin come with you two tomorrow.”

Dolores stiffened for an instant, then quickly averted her gaze, unsure of how to respond.

Linsey’s eyes widened in surprise. “Wait, doesn’t Dustin have a meeting tomorrow?”

With a casual arch of his eyebrow, Collin replied, “It’s okay if Dustin doesn’t show up at that meeting. I bet he’d rather spend time with Dolores than sit through my agenda anyway.”

Dolores’s cheeks flushed, and her gaze bounced around the room. Flustered, she didn’t linger. “You both should get some sleep. Sweet dreams.”

Morning arrived, and Linsey and Dolores reached the hospital right on schedule.

Entering the hospital room, they immediately caught the flicker of surprise on Gorman’s face.

“Did something happen?” Linsey asked, placing a bag of fresh fruit on the table. She studied Gorman with genuine concern. “Are you feeling any pain from your injury?”

Not missing a beat, Gorman pulled himself together and met her gaze. “Honestly, I wasn’t expecting a visit from you today.”

A subtle pause hung in the air as he shifted his attention to Dolores, who had trailed behind Linsey into the room. That quiet grin touched his lips. “Bringing Ms. __.”

Davidson was an even bigger surprise.

Dolores gave a little scoff and lifted her brow. “Oh, so you’re not excited to see me? I had to clear my packed schedule just to come with Linsey and help out. Don’t forget—you saved Linsey’s life, so you’re getting VIP treatment.”

Taking her time, Linsey crossed the room, pulling the curtains wide to flood the place with sunlight.

“I am glad you’re here,” said Gorman, his tone smooth and warm. “Still, with Linsey and the caregivers around, I might be a bit overcared for.”

Choosing to play innocent, Dolores let a sugary smile linger. “No, no, that won’t do at all. You need real attention with an injury like this. Plus, if Linsey tries to manage on her own, Collin will feel sorry for her and bring in an army of helpers just to be safe. By tomorrow, you might not have room to breathe in here.”

She added with a playful huff, “Just wait, soon enough you’ll have every excuse to complain about overcrowding.”

No one could mistake Dolores’ meaning. Her intentions were plain as day.noveldrama

The real reason she had joined Linsey was to make sure Gorman didn’t have a single opening to get close to her.

None of this was about Collin. That thought never crossed her mind. She just wanted to keep Linsey out of trouble.

All Dolores wanted was for Gorman to recover quickly and disappear from Grester. Maybe then, Linsey’s days could finally settle back into peace. Past memories of Gorman’s obsession with controlling Linsey still lingered fresh in Dolores’ mind.
