Jeffrey was on the verge of saying something more, but the words seemed inappropriate before they could even leave his lips. The fact that Dorothy had been poisoned was undeniable, and pointing fingers wouldn't change that.
"Here. Let me handle Quincy," Jeffrey finally said, “I have my ways of making people talk. She'll give us the antidote finally."
Everett gave him a look, his gaze darkening in silent agreement.
"Just don't kill her before we get that antidote." He said.
"Don't worry. She won't die. I know when to stop."
...
Despite the doctors' best efforts, Karen ended up having to deliver prematurely.
The medical team had done everything they could to keep the baby inside for as long as possible, but with the fetal heart rate showing signs of distress, they couldn't wait any longer.
Outside the maternity ward, Jeffrey looked nothing like a soon-to-be father. His legs were so weak he had to lean against the wall to stay upright.
Serena, finally unable to contain her worry, had cried her eyes out and taken solace in Derek's comforting embrace.
"If anything happens to my daughter... I don't know what I'll do..." she choked.
"Stop talking nonsense. She'll be fine," Derek tried to reassure her, though the tension was always evident on his face.
Kenneth, standing a bit apart, couldn't bring himself to scold Jeffrey seeing him in such a state. But ever since his cousin got involved with Jeffrey, it had been one problem after another. He was starting to question whether supporting their relationship had been the right decision at all.
He sighed heavily as his phone buzzed.
Glancing down, he saw it was his girlfriend calling.
With a frown, he silenced the phone without answering.

Can you please convey this to the person who owns this website? Update “find me in your labyrinth” novel please...author is MIA since 12/4......
I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
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....
