Chapter 662
662:
For the sake of her unborn child, she didn’t refuse.
Realizing it was Saturday, she decided to message Dolores, giving a brief account of everything that had happened yesterday.
As she typed, a sharp ache spread through her chest.
The unseen wounds Collin had left wouldn’t heal overnight.
She needed time to process everything, to slowly let it go.
After sending the message, Linsey waited, but no reply came.
She didn’t think much of it. Dolores was probably still asleep. Running her own business kept her busy all week—surely she was catching up on rest.
Half an hour later, as Linsey sat on the sofa reading, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the hallway.
She barely had time to react before the door burst open.
“Linsey!” Dolores showed up, her hair a mess, her clothes thrown on in a rush. She was panting, out of breath from running.
Her frantic gaze landed on Linsey’s hospital gown, and her eyes instantly welled with tears.
“Linsey…” she called again, rushing forward and throwing her arms around her.
Linsey barely had time to process before Dolores’ hug nearly knocked her back.
She heard Dolores’ trembling voice in her ear. “Why did you only tell me this morning? Something this serious, and you kept it from me? Did you forget what I told you last time?”
Despite her scolding tone, Dolores quickly pulled back, her eyes scanning Linsey anxiously. “Are you hurt?”
Then, her gaze fell on Linsey’s bandaged right hand. Her lips parted in distress. “Your hand…”
She gently lifted Linsey’s injured arm, her fingers trembling. Tears threatened to spill from her eyes. “You’re a designer! Your hands are everything! What are you going to do now?”

Linsey looked up and smiled at Dolores. “Don’t worry, I’m fine now.” She tugged gently at Dolores’ sleeve, motioning for her to sit. “Come, sit down first.”
Dolores stared at her for a moment, then abruptly turned to leave. “I’m going to teach Carol a lesson! She’s gone too far this time!”
Linsey’s eyes widened slightly, and she quickly grabbed Dolores’ arm. “Don’t go! The police will handle her. If you confront her now, I’ll have to bail you out.”
Dolores was still fuming, but she let out a frustrated huff and plopped down beside Linsey. “Just because she’s a Lawson, she thinks she can do whatever she wants!”
Linsey poured her a cup of warm water and handed it over. “Drink some water and calm down.”
After a brief pause, she added, “I sent you a message earlier, but you didn’t reply. I thought you were still asleep.”
Dolores took a few sips of water before setting the cup down with a sigh. “The moment I saw your message, I jumped out of bed, got ready in record time, and rushed over. I didn’t even have time to reply.”
