"Spit it out if you've got something to say; I don't have all day to watch you put on a show." Despite having seen his stone-cold demeanor countless times, Quincy couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

But Everett behaving this way definitely made Quincy think that something was up between him and Dorothy.

As he was about to leave, Quincy hurriedly said, "Is it something to do with Ms. Sanchez because of Amanda stirring things up?" "What's it to you." "Ms. Sanchez thinks you're giving her the cold shoulder because of something I supposedly held over you." Everett's brows knitted together as he looked at her, "What happens between Dorothy andis none of your business. If she calls you, you could just not pick up. And if you do, you don't need to report back to me." "I didn't mean anything by it. I was just... curious if this was all selaborate act you were putting on, hoping I'd hand over the antidote to Dorothy." Quincy knew Everett didn't have the patience for long-winded explanations, so she got straight to the point.

After she finished, she watched Everett's subtle reactions, hoping to glean something.

But there was nothing.

No change in his demeanor, still as indifferent as if nothing in the world mattered to him.

"Are you done?" "Boring." Everett walked away without a moment's hesitation.

Quincy watched his retreating figure, unable to spot any flaws but feeling that things weren't as straightforward as they seemed! She had to keep a close eye on this situation.

If it was all just a performance for her benefit, that was one thing. As long as she stood firm and refused to give Dorothy the final antidote, all would be well.

But if there really was a rift between them - if Everett's feelings for Dorothy had soured because of the whole situation with his mother...

Then Dorothy would no longer be an effective pawn.

Using her to threaten Everett would be pointless.

Quincy would have to quickly find another strategy.

Quincy took a deep breath, feeling, somewhat anxious. As long as Everett cared about Dorothy, sohad a chance to find and exploit his weaknesses. ŚwBut if his feelings had indeed changed because of the whole ordeal with Amanda...

This could complicate things.

et However, Quincy couldn't quite understand why she felt a certain way upon hearing Dorothy's cold questioning. If Everett no longer loved Dorothy... ŚwDid that mean there was now a vacancy in his heart? A spot Dorothy had occupied, reaping benefits Quincy could never dream of a spot Quincy coveted deeply.

Naturally, Dorothy wouldn't dare to just show up at the hospital unannounced.

After all, running into Sienna or Eleanor would be less than ideal.

If it weren't for Kenneth's serious injuries, she felt she shouldn't even be there, given her awkward position.

To call them friends seemed a stretch, considering Kenneth's intentions appeared to be more than platonic. But to label it anything more would be a stretch on her part.

She had Karen scout the hospital first, ensuring Kenneth was alone in his room before she made her move.

On her way, Dorothy picked up sfruits and nutritious snacks.

By the tshe arrived, Kenneth had been eagerly awaiting her presence.

Seeing her, his face lit up with a smile.

"Dorothy." "Kenneth." Dorothy set down the gifts, looking up.

Other than Karen, why was Jeffrey here too? It wasn't a big deal, except Karen had mentioned Jeffrey wasn't there just a few minutes ago. In the short span of ten minutes, he had suddenly appeared! Love
