Quincy gestured towards his wound. "Then lay still, buddy. Let me check out where the blood came from. You don't want Ms. Sanchez to come back and find you soaked in blood, do you?"
Out of everything Jonathan had said, he was right on that only one point - Dorothy was Everett's Achilles' heel.
And right now, Quincy was exploiting that weakness with pinpoint accuracy.
Seeing his son finally cooperating, Jonathan's worry settled down a bit, but it was quickly replaced by irritation. "You're trashing your own health over a woman?"
"Dorothy probably had her fair share of troubles trying to see me. You didn’t seem to care much about her then, did you?"
"She's not one of the Lopezes!"
Everett snorted with disdain, "Being a Lopez doesn’t put you above anyone else."
Jonathan had never been so blatantly defied by his son before. He was so angry he could barely breathe.
Quincy, sensing the situation was getting worse, quickly interjected while tending to the wound. "Alright, Jonathan! Can we stop quarreling? The patient needs to stay calm and rest to heal properly. Any irritation isn’t going to help!"
"He started it!"
"Well, how about you and Amanda step out of the hospital for a while? That way, Mr. Lopez can’t reach you to pick a fight." Quincy’s hands moved with practiced ease as she disinfected and rebandaged Everett’s wound, but the monitor needed to be taken down as it was damaged by him.
Once everything was settled, Quincy sought for a private chat with Jonathan to avoid stressing out the patient in the hospital. But as she reached the door, Everett called out to her.
"Don’t tell Dorothy about the fuss earlier."
