At the hospital in Eldorria City.
Quincy had barely touched down before she was rushed into the operating room.
This time was different from the last. Previously, Everett had been unconscious, sparing her the need for any eye contact. But now…
“Mr. Lopez, I’m afraid I’m going to have to invade your personal space a bit here.”
Everett’s hand was secured on the operating table, and since it was a local anesthetic, he was awake, though his face was pale.
“Did she come?”
He didn’t respond to Quincy’s remark, his mind clearly elsewhere, probably outside the operating room.
“Ms. Sanchez? I’m not sure. I didn’t see anyone when I came in.” Quincy, now in her scrubs, began to apply disinfectant, revealing a long, deep cut.
Even though she was no stranger to the OR, the sight still made her wince.
“Ms. Sanchez did this?”
Everett glanced at her but remained silent.
“She really went all out. This looks as bad as what that guy did.”
“You talk too much.”
It was the first time Quincy had received such feedback. She fell silent, focusing on the surgery, stitching the torn tendon back together.
As seconds turned into minutes, sweat beaded on Quincy’s forehead, wiped away only to form again.
“Will my hand ever fully recover?”
Perhaps feeling a bit grateful for Quincy’s rushed effort and immediate surgery without rest, and for putting up with his gruffness, Everett initiated a conversation.
Quincy was momentarily taken aback.
“I’ll do my best. Physical therapy afterwards will be crucial too.”
She was just leaving when Jonathan approached.
“Jonathan.”
“Yeah! How’s Everett’s hand…?” Jonathan was worried about his son, despite the latter’s rash actions.
Quincy removed her mask, offering a reassuring smile.
“The surgery went well, but the level of recovery depends on his physio. The repaired tendon won’t be the same as before.”
Jonathan sighed upon hearing this, his emotions a mix of relief and concern.
“Jonathan, I came back to perform this surgery for Everett. Can I ask you for a favor?”
“What is it?”
“Please, stop pressuring my family. I can’t marry Mr. Lopez if there’s no love between us, not out of business convenience.”

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....
