"There's really nothing tough to choose," Dorothy mused aloud, her voice steady even as the weight of the world seemed to press upon her shoulders. "If I waver now, my mother's death will truly be forgotten."
Hesitation was a luxury she couldn't afford.
"You have my number," Quincy offered, genuine concern in her voice. "If you need help with anything, just give me a call."
She could feel Quincy's kindness wrapping around her like a warm blanket.
"Thanks, I appreciate it," Dorothy replied with a nod before turning to leave.
But then she stopped and called out, "Dr. Quincy!"
"Yeah?"
"If the Lopez family insists on having you as part of their clan..."
"Do you want me to refuse them?"
Dorothy shook her head. "I want you to accept, and then give Everett a chance to earn your trust."
What she couldn't provide, she hoped someone else might.
Quincy chuckled and waved her off. "I'm still rooting for you two to patch things up until your mother's name is cleared, and you let go of your bitterness."
...
The day Dorothy returned to Eldorria City, the skies opened up and wept with her.
No welcoming party awaited her, just Karen.
"Dorothy!"
Upon spotting her, Karen dashed through the rain, enveloping Dorothy in a tight embrace.
At the airport, where most reunions were marked by smiles, there stood Karen, her sobs cutting through the air, drawing curious glances from passersby.
"Seeing me gets you this worked up?"
Karen nodded vigorously, her eyes brimming with tears.
With a sigh, Dorothy took her hand and they made their way out. "Or is it that you've got some pent-up grievances and needed a good cry?"

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...
