"Let's not dwell on the past anymore. I won't mention it again," Dorothy said, sensing the regret that lingered in Everett's heart. Even if she could bear another child for him, allowing Everett to be there at the moment of birth, waiting anxiously outside the delivery room, sthings just couldn't be mended. Sopportunities, once missed, were gone forever.

After dinner, knowing that Karen was overwhelmed by the stress of parenting, Jeffrey suggested they take a walk to clear her head. Dorothy, caught up with work matters, decided not to join them. Instead, she and Everett returned to their Bay Residence home. As they entered, Dorothy took Everett's coat and put it away. "Everett, I feel so blessed right now." "Is it because of meeting Heather?" Everett wrapped his arms around her from behind, gently caressing her cheek with his.

"No, I've felt it since this morning, but now it's just clearer to me." "Then stay by my side, forever and never leave." Dorothy nodded, her cheeks flushing with a sudden burst of red.

"Everett... don't you think life is about seizing the moment, enjoying what you want to enjoy, doing what you want to do, and fixing the regrets in your heart as soon as possible?" Her words were heavy with unspoken meaning.

Everett, ever so perceptive, caught on immediately. He raised an eyebrow. "Just say it." "I... I think we should... maybe start trying for a baby sooner rather than later?" This was the second tshe had brought it up. The last time, Everett had cautioned her to take care of her health first, especially since she had just been getting over a bout of depression.

But now, sthad passed, her mood had stabilized, and she hadn't had any episodes or fainting spells. It seemed like the right tto consider starting a family.

Everett's handsface stiffened, and his voice turned colder. "Let's focus on getting you healthier first. There's no rush for a baby.' "... You don't want one anymore?" "Not right now." Dorothy turned, desperate to lock eyes with him. But Everett avoided her gaze.

"I'm going to take a shower." He walked away, leaving Dorothy alone, stunned and confused. It was he who spoke of regrets, he who expressed the desire for a child, and now, he was the one avoiding the topic.

Chapter 1011 1 After his shower, Everett found Dorothy working on her laptop in the living room. She wasn't visibly upset or angry, but he knew she was disappointed, and he had no dea how to console her. His phone beeped with a message. It was from Quincy.

et "I found a flaw in the antidote during my experiment. It can't completely neutralize the poison in Ms. Sanchez's system. It's not critical, but it'd be best if she cin for a check-up and a new prescription," the message read. Everett's grip on his phone tightened.

"Stay out of trouble," he texted back.

"I'm telling you the truth. If you don't believe me, fine, but don't say I didn't warn you if something goes wrong," Quincy replied.
