GoodReadNaturally, Quincy wasn't surprised by the response.
"I wish I could stay out of all this too if I can." All she wanted was to be a doctor, to heal and to be free.
So Quincy tried to persuade Dorothy to drop the case, to give in to Jonathan's demands and make things work with Everett.
But unfortunately, everyone had their reasons. She had reasons she couldn't forgive, and Quincy had reasons she couldn't refuse.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe prescription worked wonders.
Dorothy slept through the night without a single dream.
She was slowly waking up the next morning to the familiar ceiling of the Bay Residence's master bedroom, momentarily unsure if she was still trapped in a dream.
"You're awake." Everett's voice broke the silence.
Dorothy followed the sound, taking a few seconds before her face showed recognition.
"Yeah." "Did you sleep well?" Everett asked, pulling her up from the bed like he was treating a kid.
Dorothy smiled, "It's been a while since I've slept that long." "I had someone check the medication you were prescribed. It's good for treating your condition, but it's not meant for long-term use. I'm worried about dependency. So tonight, we'll try a different method to help you sleep." A different method? Dorothy blinked, her gaze meeting Everett's curling eyes.
"What are you thinking? I mean, like using aromatherapy or doing slight exercise before bed." Her cheeks flushed, "I...I wasn't thinking anything." Everett didn't tease her further. He stepped back and said, "Go freshen up, then cout for breakfast. I have a meeting at the office today and it'll take about three hours. Callif you need anything." "Go ahead, don't worry about me." Dorothy knew she had beca burden to Everett and didn't want to drag down his work too.
After breakfast, she helped Everett with his tie and watched him leave Bay Residence.
Turning back to the bedroom, Dorothy noticed that Everett had child-proofed the entire house, even padding the sharp corners of furniture thoroughly. He was genuinely afraid of her harming herself again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDorothy touched the padded corners repeatedly, lost in thought until her phone rang.
It was Dr. Quincy.
Seeing the caller ID, she was a bit surprised but not really.
Due to her condition, Everett and Dr. Quincy had been in touch more frequently.
"Hello, Dr. Quincy." "Hey, it's me! Just checking in on you." Quincy's chuckled. "Did you sleep well last night?" "Very well. I was dreamless." "Sleep as much as you need. Being run-down affects recovery from any illness! Mr. Lopez is truly concerned about you, he was constantly checking in and putting evenunder pressure! Just last night, after I left the hospital, I found several missed calls from him." Dorothy frowned slightly. She just had an indescribable emotion. But she knew Everett's concern was for her.
"Sorry for the trouble, Dr. Quincy." "Now you're callingdoctor too, but isn't treating patients part of my job?" Quincy's voice remained soothing. If you feel like you're bothering me, then get well soon! Otherwise, Mr. Lopez might just dragto Eldorria City himself!"
