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."

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....
