"You never know, under pressure, people might just do anything."
Quincy had almost blurted out her scheme about poisoning Dorothy, hoping to scare her a bit. But then she thought better of it and deleted the message.
With things as they were, it seemed best to wait and see what would unfold.
Who knew what the endgame might be?
If Dorothy continued to be blind to the situation, then the antidote... would become Quincy's trump card.
Thinking this, Quincy couldn't help but smirk.
Wasn't this just fate lending her a hand?
She had thought that by giving Dorothy the antidote, she'd be able to kick her out of the picture! But Dorothy, not taking it, ended up playing right into her hands!
Well... she couldn't blame herself for that.
...
Dorothy hadn't slept long, finding the hospital's sterile scent distasteful.
As consciousness returned, she slowly opened her eyes, first noticing the soft tapping of fingers on a keyboard. It was light, but audible.
Shifting slightly, she looked towards the source of the sound.
Everett was there, seated at a table next to the hospital room, buried in work.
That scene...
It was as if they were back in their days in Swevia Country.
Often she would wake up to find Everett engrossed in work.
His responsibilities were immense, managing the ins and outs of the Lopez Corporation. Whenever he could, he'd take matters into his own hands, relying on no one else.
But this dedication meant he seldom had time for rest.
"Awake?"
Everett seemed to have a sixth sense for her.
Even without her speaking, and with minimal movement, he noticed.
"Yeah." She smiled, sitting up in bed, "Why didn't you wake me? It can't be comfortable working here."
Everett, being tall, had to hunch over to fit at the hospital's dining table.

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....
