"I'll talk to him." He was pretty sure his son wouldn't hold a grudge over this.

"Alright." Everett stepped into Langston's room, just as Jeffrey emerged from another.

Dorothy handed him a bag, suggesting he pack his dirty clothes in it.

"I'll just toss them out later, no biggie!" "Better toss 'em. If Karen sees, she'll overthink things! Give her a ring. Keh just toldKaren's at the hospital for a check-up." At the mention of the hospital, Jeffrey's face lost all color.

The lot of them had developed a phobia of hospitals; those words felt like a curse! "What's wrong with her?!" "Nothing serious. Keh said Karen felt a bit off, so he took her for a check-up. The doc said it's nothing major, probably just stress. You should go see her, ask her about it in person." "Alright, I'm off then!" Jeffrey had meant to ask how Everett was holding up, but hearing about Karen in the hospital, he rushed off without even waiting for Everett to return from Langston's room.

That was his queen bee; if something happened to her, it would be a disaster! After seeing Jeffrey off, Dorothy also went to check on the kids.

Watching Everett tinker with Langston'sputer felt... oddly like seeing an older Langston in action! "Did you find it?" "Yeah." Langston'sputer was a gift from him, cracking the passwords he'd set was a breeze.

"Do you think, like Lane hinted, that there's an antidote?" Everett quickly replayed the footage, then slowed it down, indeed catching the phrase Dorothy mentioned. But... Lane hadn't explicitly mentioned having an antidote! "He didn't say it outright." Everett looked up at her. "Has Lane contacted you again?" "He did! But that call wasn't recorded." Dorothy had been caught off guard by the call, not expecting it to be Lane, so she hadn't thought to prepare. "What did he say?" น "I can't quite remember, that was right when you said Quincy had disappeared..." Dorothy strained to recall. "He said he wanted me, that he hated you, and then..." en.kikistories Everett immediately grasped her hand, "And then what?" "He asked if only one of us could live, who would choose!" At the time, Dorothy found it bizarre, thinking he meant to target Everett, not realizing his plan was to get rid of Quincy! en.kikistories "Still didn't specifically mention the antidote?" Everett was somewhat worried.

Though the pieces seemed to point to Lane having the antidote, having used it to dispose of Quincy.

But...

As long as he didn't verbally confirm it, all these clues were just speculation! "Everett, listen to me! For now, let's I pretend we know nothing. We still have sof Quincy's antidote left, enough to keepgoing for a while. If we could play a role for Quincy, we can do the sfor Lane Dorothy placed her other hand over Everett's, gently stroking it. "Next tLane contacts me, I'll ask him outright about the antidote." en.kikistories || ." Everett remained silent, just looking at her.

Dorothy arched an eyebrow, "What's wrong?" "I feel so powerless."
