Dorothy reached out and grasped his warm hand, silently cursing herself for not being able to help him. The recent tension with his mother only added to her worry that her presence might be making things harder for him.
She didn’t hold any grudge against Everett for the harsh tone he had used with her before. If the roles were reversed, she feared she might have said something even harsher.
When people are in pain, their emotions can become unpredictable and hard to control.
All Dorothy wanted was to see Everett with her own eyes, to see his face and know he was okay. That was the only way she could find some peace.
After watching him silently for a while, she decided to leave before he woke up.
But just as she reached the office door, Everett suddenly grunted, stirring in his sleep.
Instinctively, Dorothy turned to look at him, their eyes locking in an unexpected gaze, both caught off guard and falling into silence.
Finally, Everett sat up from the couch, his voice still laced with an edge. "What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to see you."
"...Then leave," he said, with no indication of wanting her to stay.
Dorothy was prepared for his coldness, but his words still stung. She lowered her gaze, fighting back the tears. "Okay, just make sure to rest. And if work gets too much, Kevin can handle it."
Without hearing a response from Everett, Dorothy opened the door and stepped out. Once she was safely back in her own office, she allowed her tears to fall. She closed the door behind her to cry in privacy, wary of curious eyes.
Back in his office, Everett watched Dorothy leave. It wasn't until the door clicked shut that he allowed himself to rub his temples, feeling a headache brewing.

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....

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....
