"I think now that we're broken up, there should be some boundaries."
Dorothy exhaled slowly, her voice soft, “Everett, next time you get sick, tell Kevin not to call me, okay?”
“…I didn’t know he contacted you. Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay, just give him the message.”
She glanced at her phone for the time.
Kevin hadn’t returned yet, probably taking longer than expected with picking up Abigail and Langston.
And with Quincy possibly showing up soon, Dorothy decided it was time to leave.
“You’re leaving?”
Everett picked up on her cue instantly.
“Yeah.” Dorothy stood up, “Take care of yourself. The doctor said it wasn’t serious, so it’s probably just exhaustion. Try to get some rest.”
She never imagined that one day she’d be having such an indifferent conversation with Everett.
Just… like any other acquaintance.
“Alright.”
Everett didn’t try to keep her there.
The longer she stayed, the harder it was for him to keep up the facade. He needed to exercise some restraint.
Dorothy took a few steps back, then opened the hospital room door.
Behind her, Everett suddenly spoke up.
“Today… I’m sorry.”
“You mean about kissing me?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s fine. I don’t have a boyfriend now, but if I did, it wouldn’t be okay.”
Everett’s face tightened as he watched her leave the room, then clenched his fists.
He wasn’t sure if Dorothy was saying this for his benefit or if she really was considering dating someone else! Either way, it truly hurt him.

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....
