Everett had my life in his hands, and I wasn't scared of anything anymore.
But just when you'd expect a tender moment, I noticed a hint of hesitation on Everett's handsome face. It was like he had something on his mind but couldn't find the words.
I beat him to the punch, "What do you want me to promise? Out with it."
"...No more late nights, okay? Work just a few hours a day, and when I say rest, you rest."
I laughed, "I knew it was going to be that."
What else could Everett possibly want me to promise?
...
Two days later, I was discharged from the hospital.
Jeffrey waited until I was safe and sound before he dared to let Karen in on the news.
Boy, was she livid, "Jeffrey! If you keep secrets from me again, I swear I'm leaving!"
The thought alone terrified her.
What if...
What if it had been the last time, and she hadn't seen me?
She immediately dragged Jeffrey to Bay Residence, and the moment she saw me, she hugged me so hard I almost toppled over!
"Dorothy! Please, no more hospital trips, okay? Just... no more!"
Before I could even respond, there was Karen, all tears and sniffles.
"I'm fine, really. Just overworked myself, that's all," I reassured her, patting her back. "Everett's here, he won't let anything happen to me."
If she couldn't trust me, surely she could trust Everett?
Karen wiped her tears away, "You can't keep things like this from me! I'm your best friend. Keep me in the dark again, and I'll be really mad!"
"Yeah, I'll tell you next time."
"No! There won't be a next time!"

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
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....
