"Lopez?" Dorothy immediately picked up on the significance of that slip, even though the conversation had abruptly stopped. She had zeroed in on that particular word. She noticed a flicker of embarrassment cross Quincy's face.

"It's nothing! Are you busy with work? I'll just leave you to it, then," Quincy said, turning to leave.

In that moment, Dorothy suddenly realized where the sporadic pangs of jealousy she'd been feeling lately were coming from.

It seemed like before, Quincy never went behind her back to contact Everett. Whenever she mentioned Everett, she always seemed like an outsider, without any hint of intimacy.

But now it was different.

From the moment she called, asking for Everett to call her back privately, to today's accidental slip of the word "Lopez," it all hinted to Dorothy that Quincy and Everett had been in contact behind her back, and it hadn't stopped! Even though Dorothy had made it clear to Everett that she would get jealous seeing him interact with Quincy, it seemed he hadn't completely cut Quincy off.

"Wait a minute!" Dorothy didn't dwell further and immediately called out to her.

Quincy paused, half-turning, "Ms. Sanchez, did you need something else?" "Dr. Quincy, I noticed you mentioned Everett's last njust now, so I assyou were referring to him. Then you stopped mid- sentence, which can easily lead to misunderstandings! I think it's better if you just say it all, to prevent any potential arguments between Everett andlater. I'm sure you wouldn't want to see that." Chapter 990 1 Chapter 990 2 "Dr. Quincy, you need a bodyguard in Eldorria City?" "Yes." Quincy nodded, "There's been sinternal issues in my family, and I felt unsafe, so I got someone to followaround! Since Eldorria City is Mr. Lopez's territory, I asked him for advice. Mr. Lopez was kind enough to recommend this bodyguard to me." Mr. Lopez being kind.

Ha. Honestly, Dorothy was almost convinced by the explanation; it made sense logically! But the idea of Everett being kind and enthusiastically recommending a bodyguard for Quincy? That she couldn't believe at all.

"It seems like Everett and Dr. Quincy have been in contact quite a bit lately," Dorothy said, trying to make her tone sound casual, as if she was just making an offhand comment.

Quincy was no fool. In fact, she was quite shrewd, just not one to engage in scheming usually.

"We haven't been in contact much. Mr. Lopez usually contactsabout finding ways to treat your illness." "Dr. Quincy, you have really gone out of your way." "It's no trouble. It's my job! I didn't expect it to cause any misunderstanding with you, my apologies Quincy said, and at that moment, she should have walked away. But she paused, unable to resist adding, "I can understand your sensitivity. Given Mr. Lopez's excellence, it's natural to feel threatened."
