Chapter 1175
Quincy had been on pins and needles, waiting for Everett's reply.
But as days turned into nights with no call or message, her anxiety began to wane. Realizing that according to her calculated timeline, Everett was due for another episode soon.
And sure enough, the very next day, Quincy's phone rang with Kevin on the other end, his voice laced with urgency.
"Dr. Quincy, you've got to come to the hospital! Mr. Lopez has passed out again. We ran all sorts of tests, but nothing's showing up. You're our only hope."
She almost smirked at that, but managed to keep her voice filled with feigned concern.
"Right now? But... I'm worried Mr. Lopez doesn't want to see me. He made it clear he didn't want me around unless he reached out first."
"With the state he's in, you're the only one who can help Mr. Lopez now! Dr. Quincy, where are you? I'll come pick you up."
"Is that really okay?"
"I'm begging you on behalf of Mr. Lopez!"
With a sigh, Quincy relayed her location to him.
After hanging up, she turned to her wardrobe, selecting a dress that was the epitome of grace and beauty, and applied a light touch of makeup.
With Dorothy out of the picture, it was her time to shine.
Kevin's car arrived shortly after, his greeting warm and grateful.
"Dr. Quincy, we'd be lost without you. What's causing Mr. Lopez to faint like this? The doctors are stumped."
"I think Mr. Lopez might be overworking himself, neglecting meals and rest."

Kevin clapped his hands together, "Exactly! Mr. Lopez is all about his work, hardly sparing a moment for a meab I've tried talking to him to no avail. Maybe he'll listen to you."
“Me?" Quincy raised an eyebrow, "And why would he listen to me?"
"If he won't listen to you, then no one can get through to him!" Kevin glanced at Quincy through the.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
rearview mirror, chuckling, "Especially now that you're Mr. Lopez's fiancée."
The word 'fiancée' almost made Quincy lose her composed facade.
She clenched her fingers, striving to maintain her dignity.
"This fiancée status is only valid if Jonathan acknowledges it. Mr. Lopez... he hasn't personally accepted me yet."
"Mr. Lopez isn't much of a talker. He
hasn't confirmed it, but he hasn't denied it either, right?" Kevin sighed theatrically, “Ever since Ms. Sanchez and Mr. Lopez split, there hasn't been another woman in his life He hoped for an amicable separation, but now! Ms. Sanchez is demanding houses, cars, even a slice of the Lopez Corporation, driving Mr. Lopez up the wall. No wonder he passed out."
"Dorothy... she's still demanding more?"
Kevin nodded, "Yep! Now she wants the Valleyton Plaza commercial building, planning to start her own business, dreaming of one day taking over the Lopez Corporation."
At that, Quincy couldn't help but laugh.
"Ms. Sanchez sure has a sense of humor."
"It's not humor, it's delusion! But it's good Mr. Lopez finally sees her true colors, don't you think, Dr. Quincy?"
