Chapter 564


    Jeffery pulled his coat tighter around him, intending to lean against his car for a quick snooze – he


    was just that tired.


    Suddenly, he sat bolt upright, fumbling for his cell phone to call his assistant.


    "Drive your car over here!"


    "Huh?"


    "Bring your car, and then take mine to my garage."


    His own car was way too conspicuous in this neighborhood. Even Karen, as clueless as she was,


    would figure out what was going on. But any of his cars would stick out like a sore thumb here!


    It was only his assistant''s ride that would blend in, more or less. It wouldn''t seem entirely out of


    ce in this neighborhood.


    "Oh my, Karen, you are the only one I go to such lengths for!"


    Jeffery snorted, started the engine, and drove his car to the entrance of the neighborhood to wait for


    his assistant. He didn''t want Karen catching wind of anything just yet.

    Sleeping next to Everett, Dorothy always found a deep, restful slumber.


    She woke up the next day feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.


    She had to be up before Quincy arrived to change her dressing, get herself tidied up, and wait for


    the doctor.


    Knock knock.


    Quincy was at the door right on time.


    Dorothy wiped her hands and went to open it.


    "Good morning, Ms. Sanchez!" Quincy, breaking from her usual attire, wasn''t in her whiteb coat


    but a pristine white sundress, looking ethereal like a fairy.


    She entered, holding the medical supplies and began to speak as she walked, "I have some


    personalmitments today, so after I''ve changed his dressing, I won''t be at the hospital. I''ll be


    back tomorrow! If anythinges up, just call me. I''ve briefed the other doctors at the hospital


    about your case."


    Dorothy nodded, "Okay."


    It was clear Quincy had ns, otherwise she wouldn''t have shed her trademarkb coat.


    Making small talk, Dorothy asked, "Dr. Quincy, what''s the special asion? You look stunning."


    "My parents insisted I attend an event. They made it sound quite imperative," Quincy replied,


    carefully changing Everett''s bandages. "It might be a setup, a blind date I guess."


    "You are attending a blind date?"


    "I''m not sure, but that''s my hunch!" Quincy chuckled, "They''ve been nudging me about it, but I


    haven''t been keen on dating. I''ve put it off for so long; I think they''re getting anxious. I really just


    need to show face."


    Dorothy nodded, "Well, I hope you find someone trulypatible, Dr. Quincy."

    She waved it off, "Unlikely. It''s just a formality."


    Dorothyughed, finding Quincy''s optimism and simplicity charming. Surely, she mused, the


    universe would match her with a worthy partner.


    After Quincy left, Dorothy approached Everett''s bedside and waved her hand in front of his face,


    "Did you see Dr. Quincy''s outfit? It was quite lovely."


    Everett paused his work to look at her, "What outfit?"


    "You didn''t see?"


    "I was reviewing a contract." Everett turned hisptop towards her.


    Dorothy pouted, "You missed out. Dr. Quincy looked especially beautiful today."


    Everett was about to finish with the contract, but something in her tone caught his attention.


    He raised an eyebrow and pulled her closer, "You don''t think there''s something going on between


    me and Dr. Quincy, do you?"


    "No, I don''t."


    "Dorothy, stop jumping to conclusions. It can only be you."
