Just when she thought things couldn't get more complicated, Everett dropped the "F" bomb - feelings!
His feelings for her.
Acknowledging them now could shatter the delicate emotions she'd only just begun to cultivate in Everett's heart.
That was a no-go zone!
"Poison you? Absolutely not."
"Really?"
"Of course! Don't you trust me?" Quincy tried her best to mask her emotions.
Everett seemed hesitant but ultimately nodded.
"I do. Maybe it's just me not feeling well lately. Sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you. I'm planning to fly to Swevia Country this month for a check-up."
"...You're going to Swevia Country? You could get checked out here!"
"Well, there's a collaborative project happening there."
"Oh."
Quincy's heart sank.
The thought of Everett heading to Swevia Country for a medical check-up was worrisome.
Their medical facilities were leagues ahead, and while they couldn't cure poison, they could definitely detect it!
Meaning...
Everett might find out she poisoned him after his visit.
The only way out was to cure Everett of the poison before he left for Swevia Country.
Quincy looked at Everett, silent for a few seconds, then managed a stiff smile.
This needed careful thought.
Giving Everett the antidote would mean playing her ace.
But...
If she refused to give the antidote, all his plans would be in vain, requiring a whole new strategy.
But if he won this gamble, Dorothy could get the antidote soon.
...
Since Karen returned to the villa, Jeffrey insisted she rest without moving an inch.
Surprisingly, she obeyed, even swallowing the bitter medicine prescribed by the doctor without complaint.
Exhausted from the ordeal, Karen fell asleep without having much of a conversation with Dorothy.
Once she was sound asleep, Dorothy quietly asked Jeffrey, "What did the doctor really say? Is she okay?"
Jeffrey sighed, "There's a blood clot. Whether it can be absorbed is uncertain, and there's a chance... she might miscarry on her own."
"So, Karen is still at risk of miscarriage?!"
"Yeah." Though Jeffrey hated to admit it, "We can only hope for the best now."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
