Quincy's words were measured. Her confidence was rooted in knowing just how indispensable Dorothy was to Everett.
One always had to hit the most crucial part of their enemy.
Even with Everett's status, he had to bend this time.
The realization that she held the upper hand was exhilarating. No wonder men were always chasing after power and status...
"You might want to think it over! This antidote for Ms. Sanchez will keep her symptom-free for a month. I'm giving you a month to decide. Of course, that's assuming your father doesn't press me about it. If he does, I'll have no choice but to press you."
She added one more thing before wrapping up.
"By the way, you should probably hurry. Each time Ms. Sanchez falls ill, it would be worse than the last."
...
When Everett returned to the Bay Residence, it was already deep into the night. He thought Dorothy would have been fast asleep after everything happened in the hospital. Yet, the moment he opened the door, he found her curled up on the living room couch, lost in thought.
"You're back!"
Hearing his voice, Dorothy sprang up from the couch and ran toward him with bare feet.
Everett quickly closed the distance and scooped her into his arms.
"Put on some shoes!"
"It's fine, just a few steps," Dorothy pouted, "You're acting like a butler lately, always fussing over me."
Everett, resigned, shifted her into a bridal carry. "You know you're not well, right?"
"Don't you like me waiting up for you?" she asked, wrapping her arms around his neck, urging him to look into her eyes.
"I'd prefer you to rest well."
Dorothy didn’t respond. Everett carried her into the bedroom and laid her on the bed.
"I'm going to take a shower." he said.

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....
