Boss, Your Ex-Wife is Unreachable Now! novel Chapter 35

The reason Willow kept bringing this up was because she knew it was a knot in Dorothy's heart—one she needed to help untangle.

It was also one of the reasons she'd come to the hospital today.

But there was something else, too…

"Dorothy, can you promise me something?" Willow spoke again, her eyes earnest and full of hope.

Dorothy could hardly resist a look like that from Willow; her heart had already melted.

She nodded and replied softly, "Of course. If it's within my power, I promise."

Vincent sat on the other end of the sofa, sipping his tea. Outwardly, he seemed calm, but inside he was tense. These days, it felt like his wife's every mood was tied to Willow.

Every word Willow spoke seemed to have an outsized effect on Dorothy—sometimes it wounded, sometimes it healed.

"Dorothy," Willow said, meeting Dorothy's gaze with unwavering sincerity, "I want you to promise me that, no matter what happens in the future, you'll always put your own health first."

"The best way you can repay my mother is by taking care of yourself."

She and her father didn't need any grand gestures of gratitude, but her mother needed this assurance.

Dorothy's recent collapse had left Willow uneasy.

She needed Dorothy to give her peace of mind.

Vincent was visibly moved by Willow's plea.

He realized, with a touch of sheepishness, that his earlier anxiety had been unnecessary.

After all, he knew exactly what kind of woman Willow was.

"I promise, I'll take good care of myself," Dorothy assured Willow.

Truth be told, Dorothy had been frightened by her own fainting spell.
