That word alone set off alarms.

Karen immediately turned to Jeffrey, "Huh?" "Just, just wait a sec! Keep her in check, and I'll call you back!" He hung up abruptly, then gripped his wife's arm, "Karen, letexplain!" "Explain what? First, tell me, who's this woman you're talking about!" Jeffrey hesitated, only to hear Karen continue, "Jeffrey, if you dare to lie totoday, it's over between us! And forget about seeing our daughter ever again!" "I'm not lying! It's... it's Quincy..." At this point, Jeffrey had no choice but to tell the truth. He was genuinely afraid Karen would leave him for good! He knew that she was capable of that.

"Quincy?" The nfelt unfamiliar to Karen, "Wait... is that the doctor from our tin Swevia Country?" Jeffrey nodded, "Yeah... that's her..." "And why are you keeping her around? What's going on between you two?" "Hand on heart, Karen, there's absolutely nothing between Quincy and me!" Jeffrey swore, raising his hand, "You're the only one for me!" Karen glared at him, "Don't think you can smooth talk your way out of this. Get to the point." "It's about Everett." At the mention of Everett, Karen's expression turned even more guarded and shocked, "Quincy and Everett got involved?!" She remembered Dorothy telling her about the Lopez family arranging for Quincy to marry Everett! "No! Oh gosh, it's complicated. Everett askednot to say anything, so please just let it be." Jeffrey's handsface crumpled in distress.

Speaking out might lead to uncontrollable consequences. Keeping silent, though, made it look like he had something going on with Quincy! "Then tell me, does this involve Dorothy?" Karen wasn't interested in Everett's affairs, but now that he was with her best friend, she felt obliged to keep an eye out! Jeffrey was stumped by the question and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing his hesitation, Karen's tone becstern, as if interrogating a criminal, "Tellthe truth, is Quincy... does she have something with Everett? Did Everett betray Dorothy?" Jeffrey was so startled by the accusation that he nearly jumped. "How could that be?! Everett would die for Dorothy! How could he ever betray her?" "Then explain, what's going on? You need to lay it all out clearly!" Karen sat on the edge of the bed, determined not to end the el.n conversation until everything was clarified. Jeffrey licked his now dry lips and finally shrugged in defeat. "It's Dorothy, She got sick, you see? Then Everett wanted Quincy to treat her, but Quincy refused, so we... we took smeasures." He was half-truthing, mainly worried that revealing the poisoning to Karen would only make her worry endlessly.

"Dorothy's sick? What kind of illness?" Karen had only noticed her friend seemed a bit depressed but was unaware of any illness. They were all keeping it from Karen, who was pregnant.

Jeffrey tilted his head, pondering how to phrase it, "A rather rare illness." "Quincy's the only one who can treat it?" "Seems like it, for now. She's the only known cure." As soon as Jeffrey finished, Karen slammed the table, "Then you and Everett better make sure Quincy cures Dorothy! By any means necessary!" mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
