Back in the day, with Everett's mom gone, Dorothy wasn't keen on holding grudges anymore. Life's too short to be stuck in the past, torturing herself over things that can't be changed.
After what could only be described as a half-satisfying tumble between the sheets - at least for Everett, Dorothy was utterly spent.
"We've got three more hours before we land. Get some sleep; I'll wake you up when it's time," Everett whispered, gently stroking her hair, his gaze lingering on her face, reluctant to look away.
"Mhm," she murmured, already on the brink of sleep from exhaustion. No sooner had she spoken than she drifted off, using Everett's arm as a pillow.
Everett, with one hand free, grabbed his phone and shot a message to Kevin.
"Pick up Dorothy from the airport later. Keep an eye on my dad; if he goes off the rails, step in."
He knew his father would likely unleash his fury on Dorothy once he "learned" of his only son's "death." But this charade was necessary, to convince Lane beyond doubt that no one was left to vie for Dorothy's affection.
Soon enough, Kevin replied, "Understood, Mr. Lopez."
Despite all the precautions, Everett couldn't shake off the worry. He couldn't bear the thought of Dorothy facing any hardship.

Ever since Karen received that call from Kenneth, there had been radio silence. Initially, she naively thought Kenneth had another way to secure the antidote for Dorothy. But she hadn't expected Kenneth to have sided with Lane, the very man who had mercilessly killed Quincy!
How could Karen not worry?

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....
