Now, Quincy had Everett tightly controlled with that antidote. As long as Everett cared about Dorothy's well-being, he was at Quincy's mercy. If anything happened to Quincy, Dorothy would be doomed as well.

"Got any big plans for your project tomorrow?"

"Just need to double-check the order quantities, nothing much."

"I was thinking of taking you for a health check-up."

Dorothy frowned slightly, "I'm fine, really. No need for that."

She wasn't a fan of hospitals.

"Come on, it's for your own good."

"Who's the doctor? Dr. Quincy?"

Everett hesitated for a split second before nodding, "Yeah."

"That settles it, then. I'm not going. Everett, even though I don't know the full story between you and Dr. Quincy, I can guess she's using this as leverage over you, right?"

It was clear to Dorothy that Everett's interactions with Quincy were different from his dealings with other women. If back in Swevia Country, Quincy had just cured Everett and they had kept in touch out of gratitude, Dorothy wouldn't have found it strange. After all, a life saved is a life indebted.

And now, their private communications had intensified upon returning home.

The only explanation Dorothy could think of was herself.
