The news from the hospital didn't just fill Karen with joy; Sienna was over the moon as well. In contrast, Kenneth remained remarkably composed.

After his mother was discharged from the hospital, he called Karen for a private chat.

"Could you find some time to have Dorothy swing by the hospital?"

"Bro," Karen wasn't unwilling to comply, but after so much time had passed, she genuinely wished her cousin could move on, "Can you please stop dwelling on Dorothy? Even if you decide moving forward without Eleanor is what you want, I support you. But you need to start a new chapter, not keep looking back."

"I'm about to head overseas, I just want to see her, that's all."

Kenneth's sincerity was hard to ignore. Karen knew her brother seldom asked for favors, and now that he had, it was difficult for her to say no. "Okay, I'll reach out to Dorothy! If she's up for it—"

"If it's about asking, I can do that myself." Kenneth cut her off gently, "I want to give her a reason to come without leaving room for rejection."

If Dorothy was asked, she'd likely come up with all sorts of excuses about being tied up with something and unable to make it.
