Woman.
That word alone set off alarms.
Karen immediately turned to Jeffrey, "Huh?"
"Just, just wait a sec! Keep her in check, and I'll call you back!" He hung up abruptly, then gripped his wife's arm, "Karen, let me explain!"
"Explain what? First, tell me, who's this woman you're talking about!"
Jeffrey hesitated, only to hear Karen continue, "Jeffrey, if you dare to lie to me today, it's over between us! And forget about seeing our daughter ever again!"
"I'm not lying! It's... it's Quincy..."
At this point, Jeffrey had no choice but to tell the truth. He was genuinely afraid Karen would leave him for good! He knew that she was capable of that.
"Quincy?" The name felt unfamiliar to Karen, "Wait... is that the doctor from our time in Swevia Country?"
Jeffrey nodded, "Yeah... that's her..."
"And why are you keeping her around? What's going on between you two?"
"Hand on heart, Karen, there's absolutely nothing between Quincy and me!" Jeffrey swore, raising his hand, "You're the only one for me!"
Karen glared at him, "Don't think you can smooth talk your way out of this. Get to the point."
"It's about Everett."
At the mention of Everett, Karen's expression turned even more guarded and shocked, "Quincy and Everett got involved?!"
