Chapter 931
"It's not that bad yet! Don't jump to conclusions." Everett was skeptical, refusing to believe that amere poisoning left them with no options. "Think hard about what you've eaten or used recently!"
Dorothy furrowed her brows, racking her brain.
"The only people I've been in close contact with are Karen, Jeffrey, you... and Dr. Quincy."
"Quincy? When did you meet her?"
"That day... Jeffrey took me to the hospital after I hurt you, and that's when I saw her." The wordsQuincy had spoken to her were still vivid in Dorothy's memory.
She had expressed her reluctance to marry Everett due to their families' unison. Yet, if she refusedto drop her lawsuit, she'd be forced to agree. She had resigned herself to eventually marryingEverett.
"Did Quincy give you anything to eat or drink?"
"She handed me a bottle of water!"
Everett's brow furrowed instantly, "Did you drink it?"
Dorothy nodded, "Yeah, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I had just seen you in the hospital, andthen I ran into her. She later took me to a lounge."
Everett didn't respond but stood up immediately.
Dorothy knew what he intended to do and quickly grabbed Everett's arm, "It couldn't have been Dr.Quincy! She's too pure and kind-hearted. If it weren't for her, you might not have survived thatsevere injury from Heather." She feared that confronting Quincy could hurt her feelings.
"If she's innocent, she won't take it the wrong way."
"It can't be her!"
Everett patted her hand gently. "I'll just ask, I promise to be subtle."
Dorothy sighed, resigned. "She has no motive to harm me! Dr. Quincy herself said she didn't wantto marry you."
"Quincy’s family recently needed a substantial amount of money to cover some debts, an amountthey couldn't possibly gather on their own. But suddenly, my father volunteered to provide her familywith the money! I suspect there was a deal between them."
Quincy might not be willing, but that didn't mean someone wasn't pushing her into it from behind.
Some situations were just beyond one's control.novelbin
Dorothy didn’t reply.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Everett stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. "No matterwhat, I won't let anything happen to you."
Eventually, he stayed in the bedroom until Dorothy fell into a deep sleep again before he left.
Everett tried calling Quincy, but the call wouldn't go through. He tried a different number, but to noavail.
"Kevin, check Quincy's whereabouts."
"Right away, Mr. Lopez."
A few minutes after hanging up, Kevin had an update.
"Mr. Lopez, Dr. Quincy is currently on a flight. She's landing at Eldorria City Airport in two hours."
Quincy was coming to Eldorria City?
Everett's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice, "Go to the airport and make sure youintercept her. I need to see her."
"Understood!"
Although Kevin didn't know what was happening, he followed Mr. Lopez's orders without question.
Just before hanging up, Everett added, "Wait for her directly at the tarmac. Don't wait until sheleaves the airport to intercept her. I want her controlled the moment she steps off the plane, andshe's not to contact anyone."
After putting down the phone, his fingers clenched tightly into a fist.
No one was allowed to harm Dorothy!
Quincy’s family better pray they had nothing to do with this.
