Chapter 1130
Everett did everything in his power to ensure Dorothy was safe from harm! Didn't she tell you? Everett started seeing things that weren't there, passed out, and ended up in the hospital. That's because he tricked Quincy into believing he fell out of love with Dorothy. Only then did Quincy agree to give Dorothy the antidote, but instead, she poisoned Everett himself.
Before anyone kicks the bucket, the cops can't really sniff out anything fishy.
The thing is, once the poison's in your system, it only shows its ugly head when it strikes. Otherwise, it's like trying to find a ghost - absolutely undetectable.
But Quincy, she wouldn't let Dorothy die. No way.
However, Dorothy's gonna be put through the wringer with this poison - hallucinations, dizziness, you name it. It's all up in the air.
Even Quincy can't guarantee if this poison will leave any lasting damage on the body.
Seeing Karen's face turn ghostly pale.
Jeffrey rushed over to hold her, "Babe, Everett's close to pulling this off. Let's not mess up his plan, alright? If it's for Dorothy's sake, step back and pretend you're none the wiser!" "But...but doesn't this mean it's a life for a life? Dorothy might be saved, but what about Everett?"
"It was his choice, and all we can do is stand by him."
Jeffrey was a million times reluctant to let Everett sacrifice himself for Dorothy.
But what could he do?
He couldn't persuade him otherwise and there really was no other way out.
Karen felt like she was in a bad place, her mind a complete blank.
She had imagined a lot, even after overhearing Jeffrey and Everett's conversation, she never imagined the truth would be this twisted! This...
This was utterly nonsensical!
"So, you're saying Everett's gonna end up as Quincy's puppet, doing whatever she says? If she demands a wedding, he's supposed to just go along with it?"
Jeffrey frowned, taking a while before he finally sighed.
"I swear, I have no clue what Everett's planning for the aftermath."
"Quincy's pulling this stunt, and just gets to walk free?! This is
she it's
outright illegal, a crime! Who ne
Dorothy or Everett, that poison is lethal. This is murder!"
"Calm down! Everett mentioned Quincy's planning to give Dorothy the antidote. At least at this crucial moment don't throw a wrench in the works! If Everett gets poisoned and Dorothy hasn't received the antidote yet, wouldn't that be a loss all around?"
Jeffrey didn't dare tell her, mainly because Karen couldn't keep secrets.
She always shared everything with Dorothy.
"I...I can't accept Everett marrying Quincy for this reason. It's absurd!"
He could have genuinely fallen for someone else, because marriage is a choice.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
But to sacrifice so much just to save Dorothy, who could accept that?
"Do you really think Everett would
willingly do this? We're out of options! Quincy's been giving Dorothy the antidote monthly, and Everett and I have already had tested. Figuring out the ingredients isn't the hard part, it's the sequence they're mixed in! One misstep and it's no longer an antidote."
"...What about taking matters into our own hands against Quincy?"
Jeffrey should be good at this, right?
"How? We can't mess with her brain or her hands. If she ends up with amnesia, becomes brain-dead, or her hands are ruined, what happens to the antidote?"
"Babe, rest easy. We've thought of everything."
If there was another way, Everett would never have broken up with Dorothy.
