Chapter 207
Dwayne’s words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing her last hope and love. She was incredulous, stifled, angry, and unwilling, but also unusually calm.
Originally, when people were at their saddest, they couldn’t cry.
At that moment, she just felt “ridiculous.”
“You blamed me for taking her position for six years, so now, I’ll just give the position back to her, right?”
Dorothy pushed away Dwayne’s hand and was about to leave when her arm was suddenly grabbed by him, his eyes darkening, “What did you say?”
“I said, I gave the position back to her, I gave you the chance to make it up to her.”
Dorothy suddenly shook off his hand and left the room.
Dwayne stood still, his face growing darker, as if something beyond his control was trying to escape from him.
Did she come and go as she pleased?
Dwayne picked up his phone and made a call.
Dorothy went to the hospital.
She stood outside the ward door, always able to see Gianna’s figure by Rogelio’s bedside.
Since Rogelio was hospitalized, Gianna has been eager to move the family to the hospital and take care of him day and night.
Perhaps this was the maternal love she longed for…
Would her biological mother do the same?
She pursed her lips, suppressed the chaotic emotions in her heart, and turned the doorknob.
Gianna turned to look at her, her face showing a hint of weariness, “Dottie?”
“Mom, why don’t you take a rest first, I’ll take care of you.”
Gianna smiled and massaged Rogelio’s arm muscles, afraid that he would lie down for too long and his blood wouldn’t circulate. “Mom is fine, anyway, just idle.”
Dorothy sat down on the side.
“By the way, did you not go to work today? Your mom went to your department looking for you, wanting to bring you breakfast, but you weren’t there.”

Chapter 207
Dorothy’s originally cold heart had a hint of ripples.
In the Acosta family, from a young age, she felt very little love, most of which was overshadowed by Rogelio.
But this time, it was different.
She also smiled, “I took a vacation, so I can spend time with you and your brother.”
Gianna hesitated for a moment, a flash of guilt in her eyes, “Dottie, don’t you blame mom? Mom used to always ignore you”
The Acosta family’s favoritism, Gianna knew.
Rogelio was the only child of the Acosta family, but Dorothy was the solace she brought back after losing her own daughter.
Even so, she was unable to always protect this daughter.
After all, she had no say in her husband’s family, with a low status, and her husband would not stand up for her. She had no way out, and could not rely on Dorothy.
At that moment, she was thinking, as long as he could survive.
When she got married and left the Acosta family, perhaps she would be happy.
But she didn’t expect that the man she married was Dwayne.
Her husband was so eager for the Acosta family to move up in social class that he repeatedly relied on Dorothy marrying into the Lambert family to demand from the Lambert family…
She saw all of this.
However, when it came to choosing between her son’s future and her stepdaughter’s feelings, she still chose her son.
So at this moment, even if Dorothy says it’s strange of her, blames her, it’s all justified.
Dorothy shook her head, “If you hadn’t brought me back to the Acosta family, I wouldn’t even know where I am now. Maybe begging on the streets, maybe taken by human traffickers, maybe already dead…”
Watching her maturity, as a mother, it’s hard not to feel sorry for her.
She was about to say something when, at that moment, the door was pushed open.
Three or four bodyguards appeared at the door.
A bodyguard walked up to her and said, Madam, Mr. Lambert sent us to pick up Rogelio.”
“He wanted to take my son away!”
Gianna’s heart skipped a beat, fearing that it was because her son had kidnapped Dwayne’s “lover“, and Dwayne was about to retaliate against them.
