Although she couldn't quite put her finger on why, the warmth from Everett's palm seemed to infuse her with endless energy, bringing her a sense of peace and comfort.
"She'll be alright."
Dorothy nodded, instinctively leaning closer to him, "Karen is always so upbeat; she's bound to turn things around."
Everett gently stroked her hair, his voice deep with concern, "Did you have to go through something similar?"
Dorothy paused before she could grasp his meaning.
"No, Abigail and Langston were always so considerate, they never put me through any trouble." She said.
"Don't lie to me. Karen already told me about your difficult delivery." Everett could also imagine that she must have endured more pain and hardship than most since she was pregnant with twins.
Dorothy stiffened, her grip on his hand tightening, "There's no need for guilt over the past! Not telling you was my decision, and I'm prepared to face the consequences."
She never held any resentment towards Everett.
He was unaware of her pregnancy, so it was unfair to blame him for any subsequent risks.
"Dorothy, you still don't understand." Everett wasn't sure how to explain. She always had a clear line dividing responsibilities - yours were yours, and mine were mine.
But Everett felt differently. He didn't want their relationship to be so transactional; that wasn't love. He wished to protect Dorothy at all costs.
"Then teach me slowly." She acknowledged her shortcomings, and knew she didn't understand love or what to do once in love. But she was now willing to learn.
For Everett.
"Alright." Everett finally smiled, showing a hint of happiness for the first time in days. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Quincy was escorted to a private residence. She was blindfolded during the journey and unaware of their route.
"What do you guys want?" she asked.
"Miss Quincy, please be patient. You'll soon understand why we've brought you here."
Quincy eyed the two men beside her and could actually detect their intentions.
She was puzzled, having not revealed any weaknesses to Everett or openly confronted Dorothy; they shouldn't know anything yet!
"Did... Everett send you to bring me here?" Quincy asked tentatively, trying not to show any fear to avoid suspicion.
"We have nothing to say. Don't bother asking." Kevin, wanting to avoid any complications, decided to wait for her personally.
Having worked closely with Mr. Lopez for years, he knew when given a direct order to escort someone personally, the matter was significant. If Quincy escaped or encountered any trouble, he
would be the one to stir troubles.
"The society run by laws. Kidnapping me without telling me the reason is a crime! I'm giving you a chance here."
Kevin simply smiled and was unfazed by her threats.
This only increased Quincy's unease!
In Eldorria City, only Everett's people could afford to be so bold and reckless, right?
