"origin_text": "“我……”\n“听我说。”Everett对她一向很有耐心，“钱财这种东西，只是一个人的附属品，它本来就是用作于交换我想要的东西！只要我觉得平衡，合适，那这钱花的就值！你不用过多的细想，这笔钱究竟是花在你身上，还是我的身上。”\nDorothy垂下眼睫，“论起爱你，我觉得Heather更爱你，论起有能力，Quincy救过你两次命，我觉得我夹在中间，除了给你添麻烦，除了让你难过辛苦，好像什么都做不了。”\n“乖乖在我身边，我就不会再难过了。”Everett笑笑，“明天去检查身体？”\nDorothy轻轻点头，“好。”\n……\nEverett知道Dorothy不喜欢去医院，所以让人把Quincy的设备都搬到了私人住所中。\n一进门，Quincy就站在门口等着他们。\n许是没有在医院的关系，她没穿白大褂，一身淡粉色的连衣裙，显得她格外的天真清纯，笑起来真的会让人误以为她才十几岁。\n“Ms. Sanchez。”Quincy迈步朝他们走过去，喊了一声后，才抬头看向Everett，“Mr. Lopez。”\n后者没回她，只是低头去扶Dorothy。\n“检查别害怕，抽点血而已。”\nDorothy摇摇头，无奈一笑，“我又不是第一次，抽血不害怕的。”\n站在他俩的旁边，Quincy感觉自己是透明的一样，没人在乎她的存在。\n还是Dorothy回复完Everett，才看向她。\n“Dr. Quincy，辛苦你了。”\n“没关系，我的职责。”她总是这一句。\n跟着Quincy进去，这里到处都是一些检测仪器，还有瓶瓶罐罐的药类，都不知道里面装的是什么。\n“坐。”\n到了抽血的地方，Quincy去拿要用的东西。\nDorothy侧过脸看了眼Everett，开口，“你出去等我吧！”\n“不行，我就在这里。”\n“你出去嘛！我还有点女人间的隐私事情问她，你在这里不方便。”\nEverett蹙眉，“什么隐私事情？”\n“都说是隐私，你还要追问！”Dorothy脸颊红了红，“关于女生那方面的事情，我想着既然来了，就顺便问问！你出去一下，就几分钟，Dr. Quincy还能对我怎么样啊？”\n“……”\n“求你嘛！要不下次我就不乖乖配合了！”\nEverett抿紧薄唇，最后只能妥协，“我就在门口，有事喊我。”\n“好。”\n看着他出去，Quincy正好将要用的东西拿过来。\n“支开他，Ms. Sanchez有话要问我？”\n她嘴上说着，手上抽血的活儿也没放下。\n帮Dorothy消毒，然后找血管……\n“是，Dr. Quincy之前说可能要结婚了，是有了男朋友？”\nQuincy的手停顿了下，扯唇，“没有。”\n“所以Dr. Quincy要和谁结婚？”\nDorothy的问题很直接，她现在面对Quincy，已经不是怀着之前感激的心情了。\nQuincy笑笑，也不避讳什么，“和家里安排的人。”\n一瞬间，周围的空气都凝固了。\n其实Dorothy之前也不是没往这方面猜，但她总觉得是自己乱想的。\n“Everett？”",

"translate_text": "\"I...\"\n\"Listen to me,\" Everett said patiently as always. \"Money is just a tool, an accessory to a person. It's meant to be exchanged for something I want. As long as it feels right to me, it's money well spent. Don't overthink whether it's being spent on you or me.\"\nDorothy looked down, her eyelashes casting shadows on her cheeks. \"When it comes to loving you, I feel like Heather loves you more. And in terms of capability, Quincy has saved your life twice. I feel like I'm just stuck in the middle, causing you trouble and making things harder for you, without really being able to do anything else.\"\n\"Just being by my side is all I need to not feel troubled anymore,\" Everett said with a smile. \"How about we go for a health check-up tomorrow?\"\nDorothy nodded gently, \"Okay.\"\n...\nEverett knew that Dorothy disliked hospitals, so he had Quincy's medical equipment moved to their private residence.\nWhen they arrived, Quincy was already waiting for them at the door.\nPerhaps because it wasn't in a hospital, she wasn't wearing a lab coat. Instead, she was in a light pink dress that made her look exceptionally innocent and pure, her smile making her seem barely in her teens.\n\"Ms. Sanchez,\" Quincy stepped forward to greet them, calling out before lifting her gaze to Everett, \"Mr. Lopez.\"\nHe didn't respond to her, focusing instead on supporting Dorothy.\n\"Don't be scared of the check-up, it's just a little blood draw.\"\nDorothy shook her head with a resigned smile, \"It's not my first time. I'm not scared of needles.\"\nStanding beside them, Quincy felt as if she was invisible, unnoticed.\nIt was only after Dorothy finished talking to Everett that she turned to Quincy.\n\"Dr. Quincy, thank you for your efforts.\"\n\"It's my duty,\" she always replied with the same line.\nFollowing Quincy in, the place was filled with various medical instruments and containers of medications, their contents a mystery.\n\"Have a seat.\"\nAs they approached the area for the blood draw, Quincy went to gather the necessary supplies.\nDorothy turned to Everett and said, \"You should wait outside!\"\n\"No, I'll stay here.\"\n\"Please, go! I have some women's private matters to ask her about, it would be awkward with you here.\"\nEverett frowned, \"What kind of private matters?\"\n\"If it's private, why would you ask!\" Dorothy's cheeks reddened, \"It's about women's health. Since we're here, I thought I'd ask. You stepping out for a few minutes won't hurt. What could Dr. Quincy possibly do to me?\"\n\"...\"\n\"Please? Otherwise, I won't cooperate next time!\"\nEverett pressed his lips together, ultimately relenting, \"I'll be right outside, just call if you need me.\"\n\"Okay.\"\nAs he stepped out, Quincy came over with the supplies.\n\"Got him to leave, Ms. Sanchez? You had something to ask me?\"\nHer words flowed easily, but her hands were busy preparing for the blood draw.\nAfter sanitizing Dorothy's arm and searching for a vein...\n\"Yes, Dr. Quincy, you mentioned you might be getting married. Do you have a boyfriend?\"\nQuincy paused for a moment, then offered a forced smile, \"No.\"\n\"So, who are you planning to marry?\"\nDorothy's question was direct. Her attitude towards Quincy had shifted from gratitude to something more confrontational.\nQuincy just smiled, not hiding anything, \"Someone my family arranged.\"\nIn that moment, the air around them seemed to freeze.\nDorothy had guessed this might be the case before, but she had always thought she was just overthinking it.\n\"Everett?\""
