FreeNovel"Impossible..." This was a scenaQuincy had never even dreamed of! The poison she had slipped into Dorothy's drink was designed to be counteracted by an antidote, ensuring at least a month's safety if taken on schedule! She had given Everett two doses, which should have lasted well beyond two months! Frantically, Quincy rushed out of the emergency room and confronted Everett directly.

Don't tellyou forgot to give her the second antidote?" "She took it, I saw her swallow it myself!" Was she here to interrogate him? He hadn't even begun to settle his score with her! "Quincy, you better pray Dorothy's okay. If not, I swear you'll learn the meaning of living hell." Quincy was taken aback by the ferocity in his eyes and hurried back to the emergency room. She didn't need Everett to repeat himself; she knew very well that if anything happened to Dorothy, she'd be in deep trouble. It was a gamble from the start: if Dorothy lived, she lived; if Dorothy died, she died.
Outside the emergency room, Jeffrey rushed over in a panic. Seeing Everett, he immediately approached, "How's it going? What's the situation?" "Why are you here?" Everett asked, surprised.
"The whole company's buzzing about Dorothy coughing up blood! How could I not know? But I haven't told Karen, just said there was an emergency at work and cstraight here." Jeffrey paused, then added, "Quincy's doing?" "It's probably because Dorothy's been working overtthese past few days. Her health's taken a hit." Everett had calmed down to consider that Quincy wouldn't wish harm on Dorothy intentionally, which meant the problem had to lie with Dorothy herself.
"...What do we do now?" Jeffrey clenched his fists, "Should we call the cops? This is practically attempted murder!" "And then what? Quincy gets the death penalty?" "That... Well, it might at least scare her into giving up the antidote!" If that were a viable solution, Everett would have acted already. Was he incapable of dealing with Quincy? If she wasn't afraid of Everett, why would the threat of arrest scare her? Quincy was confident, knowing even if she got arrested, Everett would be more desperate than anyone to bail her out. Because if Quincy was in trouble, Dorothy's chances of survival would plummet. el"Everett! You can't let Quincy keep pulling your strings! Listen, why don't you try my idea? Make Quincy believe you've lost interest in Dorothy and are falling for her instead! Quincy might just buy it, and we could get Dorothy out of this mess!" Jeffrey was concerned not just for his brother but for Dorothy too. Beyond Everett, there was Karen to think about! If anything happened to Dorothy, Karen would be devastated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEverett's expression was contemplative, weighing Jeffrey's suggestion.
"She's just started to trust me..." Despite Quincy's manipulations, Dorothy hadn't caused a scene but had chosen to trust him.
"What's more important, her life or her trust? You're doing this to save her life, aren't you? Once she's out of danger, you can tell her tell her the truthin right? Jeffrey patted Everett on the shoulder, "I'll back you up when the tcomes." "Dorothy's not one to fall out of love easily. Once this blows over, Quincy will be at your mercy, and Dorothy will surely understand." It was surely better than bending over backwards for Quincy at every turn.
