Dorothy still curled up in that familiar fetal position, a habit that years hadn't managed to change.
Everett slipped under the blanket, drawing her into his embrace.
"You've got me now. I'll make you feel safe. No need to curl up like this anymore. No need to be scared."
Of course, Dorothy, deep in her dreams, didn't hear his whisper. But feeling his presence, she instinctively snuggled closer, settling comfortably in his arms.
For Everett, this moment meant everything.
Even now, being with Dorothy, he wished time would just freeze here, not moving forward.
Fame, fortune, wealth - he could give it all up.
As long as she was by his side.
...
Back at her place, Quincy started to evaluate her assets.
Her wealth wasn't much, most of her parents' fortune was earmarked for Simeon. How could they leave anything significant for her?
It was only thanks to her medical skills that she landed a job as the chief physician at the Lopez Corporation's private clinic, allowing her to save a bit of money.
Before she could figure out how much to give Dorothy, Ronin's call came through.
Ever since Quincy confided in him, Ronin had been a bundle of nerves, fearing any mishap with his daughter could drag the entire Caldwell family down.
"Have you gone through with your plan? Did you... poison Everett?" Ronin's voice trembled as he spoke.
He hadn't dared to tell Simeon, fearing he'd blabber about it.

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....
