Lane's expression, initially marked by anxiety, suddenly took on a more guarded edge.
The topic of the antidote was a touchy one. The slightest hint that it was being discussed, and Lane's nerves would jump into high alert.
"Stop looking at me like that. If you don't trust me, just let me go," Kenneth said, his voice tinged with a hint of frustration.
That was the real reason Kenneth had offered to leave earlier.
The decision to stay had to come from Lane, not forced by his own insistence. Knowing Lane's tendency to overthink, he knew it would only raise more suspicions.
"You're overthinking it. I just suddenly forgot where I put the antidote," Lane said, though his trust in Kenneth remained shaky. "Don't worry about it. I've got plans to marry Dorothy, and I won't let anything happen to her."
"That's your business. I've achieved what I came for," Kenneth replied, careful not to let any emotion show on his face.
Playing a role in such a high-stakes drama wasn't something that came around often in life! He wasn't sure about his acting skills, so he did his best to hide his weaknesses.
...
If Kevin hadn't secured the area around Bay Residence in advance, the neighborhood might have been compromised by now.
During the day, Dorothy had to act heartbroken and distraught without revealing the reason.
By night, she had to return to Bay Residence to deal with a certain man...
"Have you ever been this free since you started working?" Everett asked, genuinely turning off his computer and phone to make himself unreachable to anyone but Dorothy.
"Yeah." At that moment, his hand started to wander over her slender waist, becoming increasingly bold. "Suddenly, being 'dead' feels pretty comfortable."

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....
