Dorothy suddenly realized that Dr. Quincy couldn't stop mentioning Mr. Lopez in their conversation.
Every mention was due to her illness, but the familiarity in their talks was a far cry from the alienation she felt back in the days of Swevia Country.
"It seems he's really gotten to you. When he gets back from the office, I'll have a word with him and tell him not to bother you all the time."
"He's just looking out for you. Seeing a loved one in pain and not being able to do anything about it is tough. I can understand Mr. Lopez's feelings! It's fine, I only check my phone when I'm free, and if I see a missed call from him, I just call back." Quincy's tone was polite and was also brought no arrogance that Heather had, making Dorothy feel a bit guilty for suspecting her.
Maybe it was the depression that made her overthink?
Dorothy tried to curb her wandering thoughts and smiled, "I do have to thank you, though. Not just for my illness, but for you were Everett’s lifesaver every time he got hurt."
"No need to thank me on Mr. Lopez's behalf!" Quincy paused, "Strictly speaking, it's a transaction. I save him, and he has to give me something I want in return. It's an even exchange."
Dorothy kept thinking about Quincy's words even after they hung up.
What she wanted.
What could it be?
It didn't sound like it was just about the salary the Lopez family offered her.
...
"Quincy, your father should have called you by now, right?"
Jonathan had his reasons for hurrying Quincy. After all, the appeal for the court case hadn't been granted yet. If Dorothy could be swayed or regret her decisions before then, there was room for negotiation.
