"Langston could tell. Are you saying I taught him that?"
Even the kid had caught on to Kenneth's ulterior motive!
Dorothy knew she could not outtalk Everett with his businessman's silver tongue, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Luckily, Kenneth only called once.
Back at the Lopez Private Hospital, Quincy was already in place, just waiting for Everett to return.
She arranged a battery of tests, fearing any missed detail could pose a hidden threat.
Perhaps because Quincy was aware of Everett's germophobia, she had another male doctor assist with any examinations that required physical contact.
As the test results came in one by one, all looking good, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Lopez, you've got the constitution of an ox! I won't lie. I was worried sick while you were out of the country."
After all, a through-and-through wound was no joke. Forget infection at the wound site; even a tiny blood clot could spell disaster.
"Much obliged, Dr. Quincy." Dorothy finally exhaled in relief.
"Just doing my duty," Quincy replied with a smile, looking at her. "You go be with Mr. Lopez now. I'll change his dressing and remove the stitches tomorrow morning. You've both had a long day; you must be exhausted."
Dorothy nodded. "Thank you, Dr. Quincy."
All Dorothy could muster was thanks, leaving Quincy at a loss for how to communicate with her.
Walking out of the doctor's office, Dorothy suddenly remembered the missed call from Kenneth.
With Everett not around, she quickly returned the call.

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....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
