Dorothy could only relent, stepping back a tad.
"I'll grab another set of cutlery."
"Thanks."
After Everett spoke, Langston eagerly pulled him down to sit.
"Dad! You sit between me and sis!"
"Sure."
He nodded at his son, eyes lingering on the busy figure in the kitchen.
By now, Quincy was probably sure about his poisoning, hence his earlier offer of the antidote to Dorothy.
For the moment, he could breathe a little easier, just waiting for Dorothy to be fully cured.
Abigail and Langston were as chatty and lively as ever, buzzing around.
When Dorothy emerged from the kitchen with plates and utensils, she saw Everett encircled by the two, deep in conversation and laughter.
The scene couldn't have been more harmonious.
She sighed softly, approaching them.
"Abigail and Langston, go easy on Dad. His health isn't great."
"I'm fine." Everett immediately reassured.
"Well, if you're fine, then let's eat and head out afterward."
He paused, then slowly raised a hand to his forehead, "Suddenly, I'm feeling a bit dizzy again."
As if worried Dorothy wouldn't believe him, he added, "Really."
"Really?" Dorothy eyed him, then reached for her phone. "I'll call Kevin, have him take you back to the hospital."
She was genuinely worried about Everett after the scare at the office!
"No need, Langston would be disappointed, right, Langston?"
Everett now had the perfect excuse.
