Chapter 1105
"Why are you doing this to yourself, locking up in the office?"
"Just do as I say."
Everett knew the poison he'd ingested would cause hallucinations for a while.
Dorothy had been through the same ordeal.
Her depression, which had been mild, spiraled into severe suicidal thoughts because of the toxin-induced hallucinations. They made her insomniac, anxious, and restless.
Everett feared the hallucinations too.
He had no idea what he might do under their influence!
So he instructed Kevin to lock the office door, barring anyone from entering or seeing him, hoping to weather the initial storm. He wanted to gauge the drug's effects and regain control.
Kevin couldn't refuse Mr. Lopez, but...
He was seriously worried about him.
After leaving the office, Kevin did lock it as Mr. Lopez had asked, but his concern led him to seek help from one person-
Dorothy.
Receiving Kevin's call surprised Dorothy.
After her breakup with Everett, she had almost lost contact with Kevin, barely running into him at work.
"Ms. Sanchez, are you still at the office?"
"... Yeah." Dorothy was there for a project wrap-up, probably her last time.
"Great! Please come to the executive floor, I'll wait for you."
Dorothy paused.
She frowned slightly, "I'd rather not."
She didn't want to see Everett or have anything to say to him.
"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez is really sick! He almost passed out when I saw him, and he refuses to go to the hospital!"
Hearing about Everett's illness made Dorothy's heart skip a beat.
She even started walking towards the elevator!
But after a few steps, she stopped.
"Everett won't want to see me now. Let Quincy take care of him."
"Quincy isn't here! And you're the only one who can persuade Mr. Lopez!"
"I won't go. Everett and I are over there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." enswnovels.net
"Wait, Ms. Sanchez-"
Just as Dorothy was about to speak, she heard a loud crash through the phone!
It sounded like something had shattered.
"Mr. Lopez!"
Kevin's
of the
ice followed by the s hitting the floor
indicated Kevin had likely
it.
Dorothy, almost instinctively, sprinted towards the elevator!
Arriving at the executive floor, she was shocked.
Glass littered the floor, seemingly from a shattered window!
"Mr. Lopez, Mr. Lopez, wake up!"
Inside, Kevin's voice repeatedly tried to rouse Everett.
Ignoring the glass, Dorothy rushed over, "Quick, call an ambulance!" "Okay."
Seeing Dorothy seemed to relieve Kevin.
Her presence felt like it could make Mr. Lopez listen.
Handing Everett over to Dorothy, Kevin went to call for an ambulance. Holding him again, Dorothy felt more panicked than the day they broke up!
They had parted ways hoping to find happiness separately, not toOwned by NôvelDrama.Org.
