"Why are you doing this to yourself, locking up in the office?"
"Just do as I say."
Everett knew the poison he'd ingested would cause hallucinations for a while.
Dorothy had been through the same ordeal.
Her depression, which had been mild, spiraled into severe suicidal thoughts because of the toxin-induced hallucinations. They made her insomniac, anxious, and restless.
Everett feared the hallucinations too.
He had no idea what he might do under their influence!
So he instructed Kevin to lock the office door, barring anyone from entering or seeing him, hoping to weather the initial storm. He wanted to gauge the drug's effects and regain control.
Kevin couldn't refuse Mr. Lopez, but...
He was seriously worried about him.
After leaving the office, Kevin did lock it as Mr. Lopez had asked, but his concern led him to seek help from one person—
Dorothy.
Receiving Kevin's call surprised Dorothy.
After her breakup with Everett, she had almost lost contact with Kevin, barely running into him at work.
"Ms. Sanchez, are you still at the office?"
"...Yeah." Dorothy was there for a project wrap-up, probably her last time.
"Great! Please come to the executive floor, I'll wait for you."
Dorothy paused.
She frowned slightly, "I'd rather not."
She didn't want to see Everett or have anything to say to him.
"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez is really sick! He almost passed out when I saw him, and he refuses to go to the hospital!"
Hearing about Everett's illness made Dorothy's heart skip a beat.

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....
