It was a new beginning.

Even though Quincy had her share of wrongdoings, the child was innocent.

If it hadn't been conceived, that would be one thing, but now, Everett's plan included the possibility of letting the child come into the world, especially if Quincy continued to be uncooperative.

"Seriously, you're not suggesting I handle this myself, are you?”

Everett raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Dorothy sighed in frustration. "I'm being serious here! Can't we just... let her be pregnant but not bring the child into this world?"

"It's Quincy's call to make! She's always been her own worst enemy. What can I do?" Everett pulled her close, their noses brushing. "My priority is your safety. If she hands over the antidote sooner, good for her. If not... there's nothing I can do."

Quincy could have used her leverage to save Everett's life twice and in return, ask for financial help.

Though the Lopez family had paid her wages, Everett was always willing to help.
