Everett didn't answer the call beside Dorothy, not because he had anything to hide from her, but the idea of chatting up another woman, especially with undertones of flirtation, in front of her just didn't sit right with him. Even if it meant securing the antidote that could save her life.
He stepped away, though a quick glance back assured him he could still see where Dorothy was.
As soon as the call connected, Quincy's voice came through, soft and coquettishly sweet.
"Mr. Lopez... I'm sorry, I dozed off again last night..."
"It's fine."
"Did you take the medicine I gave you?"
There was a pause before Everett replied, "The one you said would make me feel better?"
"Mhm..."
"No," he said, his gaze drifting back to Dorothy's frail figure, his brows furrowing slightly, "Quincy, we need to meet. There's something I need to ask you."
Quincy was taken aback by the sudden invitation.
But, of course, she wouldn't refuse!
"Alright, shall we meet at that hotel again?"
"...Let's pick a diner. I haven't had dinner."
"Mr. Lopez hasn't had dinner yet? Then let me cook something for you, bring it over! You can taste my cooking."
"Maybe next time. I'm tied up today."
Hearing the seriousness in Everett's voice, Quincy realized this wasn't just a casual chat.
Could it be... Did Everett find out Dorothy hadn't taken the antidote?
But he was supposed to be over Dorothy, wasn't he?
That couldn't be it.
A whirlwind of speculation rushed through her mind.

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....

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....
