"You're a doctor, Quincy. You've seen all of Dorothy's health reports; you know the situation. I'll let you examine me, and then you decide if we need to switch roles," Everett spoke gravely, pausing for a moment. "Once I start depending on your antidote, I won't let you die either. We'll be in this together."
Quincy didn't reject the proposal outright this time but pursed her lips instead. "I'll think about it."
Her own life was on the line; she had to be extremely cautious! If Everett was playing some game, or... what if he decided to risk it all rather than be blackmailed by her? That would be playing with fire!
Switching to Everett wasn't an ideal choice.
But...
Dorothy's health was deteriorating fast. It was hard to say how long she could hold on. While it's difficult to predict someone's lifespan, given her condition, it wouldn't be surprising if she fell seriously ill and passed away soon after. And if that happened, Everett would surely blame Quincy, regardless of whether it was her poison that caused it or not, and ensure she faced the consequences.
...
When Dorothy woke up, she found herself in a hospital room, her clothes replaced with a hospital gown, free of any bloodstains.
"Uh..."
Opening her eyes, she felt dizzy, perhaps from sleeping too long.
"You're awake."
Everett immediately put aside his work and came over to her bedside.
Dorothy nodded, "Yeah, you... why are you here...?"
"You were vomiting blood. Who else should be here if not me?"

The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
