GoodRead"Haven't eaten?!" "Nope!" Dorothy replied with a crisp tone, her mind suddenly ticking over.
What if Quincy was willing to offer her another one! Wouldn't that solve everything? Then Everett wouldn't need any plan at all and could directly kick Quincy to the curb.
But things weren't as easy as she thought...

I was afraid that your stuff could spread and silently kill me! You're a doctor, specializing in these things, how could Ipete with you." "Tossed it?" Quincy's brow furrowed slightly.
Kevin, who had just returned, sensed something was off and quickly intervened, "Quincy, Ms. Sanchez! Let's not fight now, Mr. Lopez is still resting inside. Can we talk about this downstairs?" "I have nothing to discuss! It's about the money! I'm giving you three more days to hand over the assets I asked for!" Dorothy, fearing she might mess up Everett's plan, quickly seized the opportunity to slip away.
Behind her, Quincy watched Dorothy's retreating figure with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
But as she glanced back at Everett's room, the confusion faded a bit.
After all, the slight sweat on Everett's forehead and his weak appearance didn't seem faked... His voice was even a bit hoarse, impossible to fake.
Everett lay in the hospital room for a while longer, waiting for the noise outside to cease before standing up. Kevin entered first, holding the antidote and sighed, "This is only a part of the antidote, for temporary relief." "Give it to Dorothy." "Got it." Kevin nodded, carefully pocketing the medicine.
Soon after, a knock sounded at the door! Everett quickly darted back to his bed.
Luckily, it was Dorothy.

Seeing her, Everett's face lit up with a smile.
"I heard you making a scene outside just now." "Hmm, how did it go?" Dorothy raised an eyebrow, diving straight into Everett's arms.
Kevin, realizing he was the third wheel, quickly excused himself, "Uh... I've got work, I'll head out!" He always knew when to make a quick exit.
Once the door closed, Everett firmly wrapped his arms around her, lifting a thumb to her forehead, pretending to be angry, "What did you callearlier, a cheating scumbag? Huh?" hovels Dorothy squinted her eyes smiling, "I was acting! Those were my lines!" "Tsk, but you shouldn't insult yourself too." "What did I say about myself?" "If I'm the cheating scumbag, what does that make you?" Dorothy pouted, rolling her eyes at him, "I was talking about you and Quincy! I'm not involved." "Ah, to think you're quite the queen when you lose your temper." "Yeah!" Dorothy actually felt quite satisfied, "Now I get why Karen is and outgoing! Letting it all out makes one feel so much better." "Yeah, you could learn a thing or two." Dorothy nodded, her gaze falling on his forehead, raising an eyebrow, "But you still outdid yourself, how did you manage to get sweat on your forehead?" It's not like he used a spray bottle, right? At that, an odd blush crept over Everett's handsface.
