Chapter 1125 Chapter 1125 When the possibility was laid bare, with even the slightest shred of evidence to bolster it, Dorothy knew she couldn't just pretend everything was peachy keen. Wiping the tears from her eyes with her fingertips, she tried to steady her breathing, to calm the storm within.

Right or wrong, the truth had to be faced head-on.

"Karen, you mentioned... maybe Everett's sickness, it's something only Quincy can fix. That's why he's been so close to Quincy?" Dorothy's voice quivered as she spoke. Karen paused, sighing in resignation.

She knew Dorothy wouldn't let this go easily.

"That's what I'm thinking. Otherwise, what's Quincy got to do with any of this? What role does she play in all this?" Hearing this, Dorothy was ready to bolt.

Karen quickly grabbed her arm, "Hey, where do you think you're going?" "I'm going to confront Quincy about it! I need to know the truth!" "... Hold your horses! Rushing over now won't get you anywhere! If Everett wanted you to know, he would've told you straight away, instead of leaving us to speculate here." "So, what do we do? Karen, I can't control this shaking. How can I be at peace without any answers?" The thought of Everett grappling with sterminal illness plagued her mind, sowing seeds of fear and unrest that even her rational thoughts couldn't weed out.

Karen could somewhat understand.

It also shed light on why Jeffrey and Everett had been so secretive, unwilling to share anything.

It was all her fault....

If Dorothy ended up getting hurt over this, Karen would never forgive herself.

"Dorothy, all we have right now are guesses. And a lot of it doesn't even add uphLike, if Everett was really sick, he shouldn't be working himself to the bone! He should be spending more twith you, with the kids!" "And then there's Kevin, always by Everett's side. If Everett was ill, Kevin would definitely know. But didn't you say Kevin called you, asking you to take care of Everett? That suggests everything's fine!" Karen tried to piece it all together, "If something was wrong, Jeffrey would be at hcrying his eyes out!" And that part was undeniably true.

Karen knew her place in Jeffrey's heart couldn't compare to Everett's.

Dorothy bit her lip, standing still as if she had just snapped out of a trance.

"You're right, Everett... he can't be sick." "Exactly! Don't worry, I'll dig around smore, poke Jeffrey about it." Suddenly, Dorothy gripped Karen's hand tightly, her eyes glistening with tears she hadn't yet wiped away, a serious look on her face. "If you find out anything, don't keep it from me, please."

"You have my word." Karen patted her hand, letting out a out a sigh "At this point, I almost hope Everett just I En wants to break up." Despite never being close to Everett due to past tensions, and even as Dorothy's best friend, Karen haring Dreally interacted with never him.

But...

But if he really was facing slife-threatening illness... That was a scenatoo painful to consider. After om all, Everett was Abigail and Langston's biological father. His présence meant the world to those kids. After spending a good while calming Dorothy down and seeing her somewhat stabilized, Karen finally left. No sooner had Karen left than Dorothy, still conflicted, ended up dialing Quincy's number.

The moment Quincy answered, the was" first thing she said was, "Ms. Om Sanchez I was just about to reach I out X
