Karen couldn't stand it any longer and insisted on joining the cause!
She was utterly disgusted by those sleazy guys and their wandering hands. She wished she could personally
teach them a lesson!
"Jeffrey, you've got to chip in too! We can't back down on a matter of principle!"
At Karen's command, what could Jeffrey possibly say?
"Of course, we'll contribute! If my wife says we're in, then we're in," he said, grinning as he sidled up to Karen,
trying to butter her up. "Honey, how much do you think we should put in?" Karen shot him a glare at first, then
huffed.
"Let's see how committed Mr. Turner really is!"
"...Well, my commitment knows no bounds. Once we get back to Eldorria City, I'll sell all my properties and pour
everything into the fund!"
Karen still glared at him, but she couldn't help but laugh the next second.

As they went from bickering to making up, Dorothy could only sigh.
Their dynamics were certainly unique, but it was causing others to worry!
Jeffrey continued to cajole Karen, while Everett approached, clapping his brother on the shoulder, "Maybe you
should get that cut on your face looked at, huh?"
It did look pretty bad.
"No way!" Jeffrey immediately protested. "This is a love mark from my wife! How could | possibly get it treated?
She'd be mad!"
Everett's comment made Dorothy take a closer look at Jeffrey's face.
And indeed, the "injuries" were severe.
"You should really get it checked out. Don't joke about this. If it gets infected, you could end up with scars."
"It's fine. I've already got a scar from a car accident before; a few more won't make a difference."
Karen also glanced over guiltily....
When she was angry, she really didn't know her own strength.
She reached out to touch the wound, and Jeffrey winced in pain, "Ouch..."
"Hurts, doesn't it? Let's go to the hospital."
He was her husband, after all. How could Karen not care?
Anger was one thing, but at the end of the day, he was still her husband.
"It's really nothing. I'm tough; I can take it! As long as you've cooled off, that's what matters!"
Karen glared and playfully smacked his arm. You could've dodged, you know? You knew | was out of my mind
with anger, yet you still had to get in the way!"
Jeffrey was at a loss.
He spread his hands.
"Honey, you're pregnant! | had to stay close to protect you, just in case you tripped or bumped into something.
What would we do about our daughter then?"

Jeffrey wasn't foolish. He knew when to dodge.
But if he did, Karen would only get angrier, possibly even harming the baby!
He knew what was more important.
"Alright, you two better head to the hospital, even if it's just for sdisinfectant and ointment," Dorothy gave
Karen a knowing look, signaling her to ease up.
After all, it would be a shif Jeffrey's handsface ended up scarred.
"Fine! I'll take him to the hospital, and we'll talk about the fund when we get back."
Dorothy watched them leave, then sighed and went to their room to pick up Felicity Miller to bring her to her own
suite.
There was no helping it with such quirky parents.
"Mommy! Why does Felicity keep getting brought over here?" Abigail was curious, constantly asking questions.
Langston, tasked with reluctantly watching over Felicity Miller, would only cover when he had to; otherwise,
his attention was glued to his computer.
