He rarely spoke to her in such a tone, and that caught her off guard momentarily.

Having said his piece, Everett regretted it as well. He was just too scared that Quincy might hurt Dorothy again, thus he wanted to keep her away from him.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit..." he apologized.

"It's okay! It was work-related anyway so I shouldn't have interfered. If you're feeling stuck, like you deliberately didn't want to return Dr. Quincy's calls, just pretend I never messaged you!" Dorothy might not know the specifics, but she was aware that anything involving the Lopez Corporation likely involved substantial funds. Being the CEO, he had to make his own considerations. She shouldn't have relayed Quincy's message in the first place.

"Are you upset?" Everett's voice carried a hint of caution.

Dorothy chuckled, "Not at all! I was worried about upsetting you." "I wouldn't be upset with you." Everett paused, "You're at the hospital?" "Yeah! Karen was being discharged, but the baby fell asleep, so we thought we'd let her wake up on her own. It's a bit chilly today, didn't want the baby catching a cold with the temperature drop." "I'll cpick you, Abigail, and Langston up once I wrap things up here." "Great! You can head straight to Jeffrey's place, we're about to leave the hospital too." "Alright." After hanging up, she sighed, hoping her Whatmessage wouldn't cause any trouble for Everett.

Once Everett ended the call with Dorothy, he dialed Quincy immediately. His tone was fierce right from the start, "Quincy, don't push my boundaries." "I was merely seeking your help, Mr. Lopez. Since couldn't reach you, I had no choice but to approach Ms. Sanchez But rest assured, I mentioned it was about a collaboration, nothing more "vel.ne Quincy's voice was calm, albeit a bit feeble to him. Everett clenched his fists tightly. If it weren't for the fact that the antidote hadn't been deciphered yet, and they still needed her to keep Dorothy alive, he'd really want to tear Quincy apart! "I don't care why, but do not contact her again!" he snapped.

et "I understand. Quincy backed off, not looking to clash in the first place, "You must be aware of my family situation by now. Jonathan pulled the funding, and I was hoping you could and my family a hand Mr. Lopez." "You'll provide the antidote if I help your family?" "I can give you an additional month," Quincy offered with a chuckle, "That way, you'd have more tto consider!" But fully curing Dorothy was definitely impossible. Not just for any other reason, but even if she wanted to survive, she needed to et keep Dorothy close. She couldn't even begin to imagine how dire her own fate would be otherwise. "Saving your family will cost a pretty penny." Moreover, this sum could very well hold her family's fate in his hands.

"Indeed, but to Mr. Lopez, it's merely pocket change," Quincy might not know everything, but he was well aware of Everett's financial prowess.

Not just saving her family, but even ten would be a breeze.

After a brief pause, Everett spoke gravely, "I can offer you a sum not only to save your family but to ensure you're set for life, provided you hand over the final antidote." "Mr. Lopez, do you takefor a fool? The day Ms. Sanchez's poison is cured might very well be the day I meet my end."
