The thoughts raced through his mind at lightning speed.
"It was that meal! You deliberately made it salty."
"Smart, aren't you? How else were you going to drink water obediently?" Dorothy said with a playful squint in her eyes. "Am I smart or what?"
"Smart my—"
Everett held back his curse with great effort.
"Calm down, hear me out!" Dorothy's gaze on him was earnest, her voice softened, "I don't want, and can't always have you shielding me from everything! Everett, you've done more than enough for me, truly. My life wouldn't be enough to repay you! So, please, don't make me owe you any more. Do you really want to suffocate me with debt?"
"…I didn't want you to know."
He had painstakingly kept it a secret for so long.
"I get it! Actually, if I had known about this from the start, maybe… I might have made some rash decisions, not wanting to see you threatened and led by the nose by Quincy, especially when I was already struggling mentally back then. My thoughts and actions were so narrow-minded. But now, I wouldn't."
She was truly past that phase.
Abigail and Langston were still so young; they needed their mom.
There were friends and Everett in this world who cared about her.
Until things were truly irreparable, she couldn't just give up on her life.
"But Dorothy, you're not as physically strong as I am. You can't bear this!"
Dorothy spread her hands, "The antidote has already been taken by you. Complaining about it now, what's the use?"
"…"
"Listen to me, calm down! The antidote would work the same on anyone. Aren't we a team? With my cooperation, things might even go smoother than you planned! And you won't have to keep me in the dark, worrying I might get upset and leave for real."
