Chapter 172
Dwayne didn’t know when he left. When Dorothy came to her senses, the room was already cold and silent.
The words “you don’t deserve” and “not qualified” kept echoing in her mind, stabbing into her heart one word at a time. Her heart, already riddled with wounds, still ached.
What Mrs. Lambert’s identity was, he did not care.
If you don’t care, why treat her like that…
Dorothy leaned against the wall, slowly squatting down along the wall. For the first time, she felt so powerless.
Two days later, Bryson and Gianna learned that their son had been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and could face imprisonment, and they were stunned. It wasn’t until they saw Rogelio at the police station that they confirmed, “Rogelio did indeed threaten and kidnap someone.”
And that person was still the woman Dwayne “cheated” on.
Dorothy had just arrived at the hospital in the morning when Bryson was already waiting for her downstairs.
“Dorothy!”
Bryson strode forward quickly and slapped her hard across the left side of her face.
She avoided it and almost leaned to one side.
Gianna hurriedly pulled her angry husband away, “What are you trying to do!”
Dorothy took the slap without saying a word, just calmly straightening her appearance with a blank expression.
Bryson saw her indifferent attitude and became even angrier, pointing a trembling hand at her nose, “Look at her, Rogelio kidnapped that woman for her, and now what’s her attitude? Rogelio is going to jail because of her!”
“If I had known she was such a jinx, I shouldn’t have agreed to let you pick her up in the first place-”
“Bryson!”
Gianna got angry with her husband for the first time.
Bryson stared blankly for a few seconds, impatiently turned his face away, with only regret in his eyes.
In the conversation that was just interrupted, Dorothy heard something, and after a moment of stunned silence, she slowly opened her tightly pursed lips and asked, “What did you pick up?”
“Dottie, it’s nothing. Your dad was just angry and talking nonsense.”
Although Gianna explained, Dorothy still felt like they were hiding something from her, a secret she didn’t know.
Gianna walked up to her and said, “Dottie, Rogelio is your brother. He went too far this time, and I didn’t expect him to stand up for you and go looking
for that woman.”
“We went to the police station today, and they said the sentencing for suspected kidnapping starts at ten years. If there is no bodily harm, the sentence can be lighter, at least three to five years.”
“He was impulsive and acted without considering the consequences. If he really ends up in jail this time, so be it. But if Dwayne doesn’t make a concession in this matter, I’m worried about Rogelio…”
Gianna knew that the kidnapping was something no one could change, but what worried her was Dwayne getting involved.

Chapter 172
Rogelio’s days inside were determined by just one sentence from Dwayne
Dorothy lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Mom, I know that this time it’s because of me. I won’t stand by and do nothing. I will find a way
“Dottie, Rogelio is counting on you.”
Gianna clenched her hand, looking serious.
Watching the couple leave, Dorothy slowly loosened the hand she was holding tightly, as if making up her mind, and turned to enter the hospital.
“How does she have the nerve to come to work?”
“Yeah, I heard her brother kidnapped Ms. Frazier to help clear the name of his sister who is the third party in a relationship!”
“I used to think she was beautiful and talented, I even considered her as my idol…”
Dorothy walked past the nurse’s station, ignoring the glances and gossip of the nurses, and headed straight to Sonia’s ward.
