"I'm fine, really." Dorothy knew Everett must be worried sick about her, so she walked over to Dr. Quincy's side and whispered, "If he asks about me, just tell him I'm doing great! I don't want him to worry."
Dr. Quincy's lips curled into a smile, revealing two charming dimples that made her look like a college student rather than a seasoned physician.
"You two are really a pair. He told me the exact same thing."
Dorothy paused, a flicker of concern crossing her face. "Is he okay, though? He's not hiding anything serious from me, is he?"
Dr. Quincy patted her shoulder gently. "Don't worry! He's fine. I wouldn't tarnish my reputation by letting something happen to one of my patients. But you need to take your leg seriously. Mr. Lopez is right; you need to take care of yourself."
"It's just a fracture. I had surgery and everything."
"But looking at your wounds, it seems like there might be an inflammation. Did you leave the ward and come here right after your surgery?" Dr. Quincy always had an eye to detect these tricks.
Dorothy showed an embarrassed, sheepish grin. "I was worried about him..."
"I understand. But Mr. Lopez is out of danger now, so it's time to focus on your own recovery." Dr. Quincy moved behind her wheelchair and began to push it forward. "Let's head over to the consulting room. I'll take a look at you."
Dorothy knew it would be foolish to argue now.
"Thank you, Dr. Quincy."
If it hadn't been for Everett, she might neither have believed in love.
"But seeing the love between you and Mr. Lopez, how he'd risk his life for you... He seems like such a hero."
"Everett's actually quite silly." Dorothy thought of how he looked at her – the powerful CEO of Lopez Corporation, yet always timid and humble as he saw her – and she couldn't help but smile.
His cautious tenderness was probably something only she got to see.
"You call him silly but watch out. I might just spill the beans to Jonathan!" Dr. Quincy teased, clearly unaware of the complicated relations. She still regarded Dorothy the recognized daughter-in-law of the Lopez family.

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....
