FreeNovelAfter instructing Kevin, Everett made his way back to the bedroom, only to discover several missed calls on Dorothy's phone. They were from Karen. Instead of calling her back immediately, Everett decided to check in with Jeffrey first.

"It was nothing at first. Dorothy hadn't been in touch, so she was checking in. But when Dorothy didn't answer her calls, Karen started to worry." Jeffrey's voice was deliberately lowered, and was ought to avoid Karen overhearing, "What's up with Dorothy? Why isn't she answering her phone?" "She's been poisoned." "What?!" Jeffrey's voice involuntarily spiked, "Someone managed to poison her while she's with you?" Everett rubbed his temples, "No one would dare touch her while she's by my side. I think it's something from before that's just kicked in now." Jeffrey fell silent for a few seconds before quickly offering, "Is there anything I can do to help?" "Not for now. I'll start by questioning Quincy. As a doctor, she's got a higher probability of poisoning Dorothy, and she knew more about poisons too." "Quincy? The surgeon from Swevia Country who operated on you?" Jeffrey had met her; she seemed gentle, hardly the type to harm anyone.

"Yeah." Everett replied.

Later, take Dorothy's phone and text her back on WhatsApp. If Karen finds out, it might cause her to go into premature labor." It had been a struggle to keep the baby to this point! He didn't want anything going wrong at the last minute.
"Dorothy will wake up soon. I'll have her video call Karen to put her mind at ease." "That's great! Karen was about to dress up and search for Dorothy herself when she didn't get response. I had to physicalstop her from leaving. But I can't hold her off for long. If she insists on seeing Dorothy, and I keep stopping her, she'll get more suspicious." Jeffrey was also aware that something serious must have happened on Everett and Dorothy's end. He had assumed it was another lawsuit, not expecting Dorothy to have been poisoned.
If Karen found out, it would be disastrous.
"Let's try to keep it under wraps for now. Once Dorothy's awake, I'll have her get in touch with Karen." Everett understood Jeffrey's concerns. Besides, with everything already in chaos, if Karen were to complicate matters, it would only add fuel to the fire. After hanging up, Everett couldn't shake off his suspicions about Quincy. She had both motive and means.
