"Here. Lethandle 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. | know when to stop."

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... | 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.

The sound of her cries instantly brought tears to Jeffrey's eyes, "My daughter! Everett, did you hear? My daughter is here! Karen
gavea daughter!"
Everett clapped him on the shoulder, turning to see Dorothy crying even harder.
"She's finally here..." she murmured.
He wrapped Dorothy in his arms, "The doctor said she's okay. No more tears."
"I, I just can't help it. I'm just so happy," Dorothy managed between sobs as Everett gently wiped her tears away and said, "I'm
happy for them too."
