"Haven't eaten?!"
"Nope!" Dorothy replied with a crisp tone, her mind suddenly ticking over.
What if Quincy was willing to offer her another one!
Wouldn't that solve everything?
Then Everett wouldn't need any plan at all and could directly kick Quincy to the curb.
But things weren't as easy as she thought...
Quincy squinted his eyes, staring at Dorothy for nearly a minute before probing, "What about the medicine I gave you?"
"Tossed it! I was afraid that your stuff could spread and silently kill me! You're a doctor, specializing in these things, how could I compete with you."
"Tossed it?"
Quincy's brow furrowed slightly.
Kevin, who had just returned, sensed something was off and quickly intervened, "Quincy, Ms. Sanchez! Let's not fight now, Mr. Lopez is still resting inside. Can we talk about this downstairs?"
"I have nothing to discuss! It’s about the money! I'm giving you three more days to hand over the assets I asked for!"
Dorothy, fearing she might mess up Everett's plan, quickly seized the opportunity to slip away.
Behind her, Quincy watched Dorothy's retreating figure with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But as she glanced back at Everett's room, the confusion faded a bit.
After all, the slight sweat on Everett's forehead and his weak appearance didn't seem faked...
His voice was even a bit hoarse, impossible to fake.
...
Everett lay in the hospital room for a while longer, waiting for the noise outside to cease before standing up.
Kevin entered first, holding the antidote and sighed, "This is only a part of the antidote, for temporary relief."
"Give it to Dorothy."
"Got it."

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....
