"If you're not happy, I'll just delete her."
Saying that, Everett reached out his hand.
Dorothy quickly stopped him, "No, wait! What are you doing? I was just... looking, that's all. Don't read too much into it."
Not to mention that Everett's hand hadn't fully healed yet and that he would still need Quincy’s help, but thinking about the future... who knows when they might need Quincy's help again?
If he deleted Quincy from his contacts, how awkward would it be if that got out? How would they face each other then?
"After she stitched me up, she's leaving the country. She said she's worried about whether I'm doing my exercises correctly for my tendon recovery, and also worried about the expertise of the doctors here. So, she added me on WhatsApp, telling me to send her a photo of the wound in a few days."
Everett rarely spoke in such a long, hurried explanation.
Dorothy nodded. "Dr. Quincy is very responsible. You should really listen to her."
He's the CEO of a corporation, after all. His hands are crucial to him!
"Dorothy, if you're not happy, don't keep it to yourself. Tell me."
"I'm really okay," Dorothy said, almost helplessly, "Everett, it's your choice! Just like I advocate for my own freedom, you know? Freedom means not being interfered with."
He didn't want that kind of freedom. Nor did he want to give Dorothy that freedom.
After dinner with Karen, Jeffrey took her back to continue with her pregnancy care.
Knowing they were having a daughter, Jeffrey acted like he wanted to vet every boy in the world suitable for his daughter. Hmph, any guy thinking of getting close to his daughter would have to get past him first.
Dorothy watched them get into the car and leave before turning back to Everett.
"I don't feel like seeing the doctor today. Can we reschedule?"
Although Everett hadn't explicitly mentioned taking her to see a doctor, Dorothy had a hunch.
