During the years without Everett, Kenneth had been living abroad with Langston. Given the gratitude owed, Kenneth could easily have coerced Dorothy into agreeing to be his girlfriend. He knew she would at least give it some thought if he asked.
But he refrained from doing so, simply because he didn't want to put Dorothy in a difficult position. Such a man, Karen believed, would never use an antidote as leverage.
"Honey, don't be mad, I was just saying!"
"Even just saying isn't okay! Kenneth's love for Dorothy is pure, and now he's willing to put himself in danger for her. You can't talk like that!"
Jeffrey quickly nodded, realizing his mistake.
"I shouldn't have said that, sigh!"
Whether it was Everett or Kenneth, both were hopelessly romantic! They just hoped for a happy ending for everyone.
...
The airport was bustling, even in the evening. Jonathan's flight arrived on time at Eldorria City.
Waiting outside for the pick-up, Dorothy glanced at her wristwatch and then spoke to Kevin, who was driving, "We should go in now; he'll be out soon."
"Alright."
Kevin nodded, got out of the car, and even opened the door for Dorothy, who smiled helplessly, "After all this time, I'm still not used to being waited on. You don't have to do it anymore."
"It's just a habit."
"He worries about me, so I don't want him to worry! With the antidote situation, Everett has been losing sleep, tossing and turning all night. He thinks I'm asleep, but I notice every move he makes! Now that we're close to resolving this, I don't want to stir up any trouble. You understand?"
He nodded, "I get it."
"Just do as I say, it'll be alright, and no one else will know."
If Everett's father ended up insulting or even physically assaulting her and Everett found out, it would inevitably lead to a dispute between father and son.
At this point, Dorothy sincerely wished to avoid such a scenario!
All she wanted was to secure the antidote smoothly, so Everett could finally relax. For Dorothy, obtaining the antidote wasn't just about saving lives anymore; it was about easing Everett's burdened heart.

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....
