If Dorothy died, even if Everett didn't pursue justice, the investigation into her death would inevitably drag Quincy into the mess. She was using Dorothy's wellbeing to threaten Everett, aiming to live comfortably, not to end up behind bars.
"You... you really do value Dorothy more than your own life."
We're talking about poison here, the life-threatening kind. So, it's fair to say that if anything happened to Quincy before he received the final antidote—whether he died or lost his mind—Everett would be the one to pay the price! The risk hadn't disappeared; it had merely shifted onto Everett's shoulders.
"This is my only option."
"But if Dorothy finds out, she would never agree to this!"
Everett suddenly raised his voice, "She must never know. Absolutely not."
"Don't worry, buddy, I'm always on your side! Even though I think your decision is somewhat harsh on yourself, you've made your choice to go this far. I can't let it all fall apart on my watch."
When it came down to serious matters, Jeffrey knew what he had to do and what he needed to avoid.
"Yeah, I don't want Dorothy to find out about this." Everett closed his eyes, "I've said it before, my love for her is my own burden; she shouldn't have to carry any part of it."
He didn't want Dorothy to feel even the slightest bit of obligation or guilt.
"Whatever you need, just let me know. Even if it means crossing Karen, I've got to help you! If it wasn't for you helping me with that blood type evidence, my daughter might not have been born. I'll never forget what you've done for me."
Dorothy suddenly stood up from her chair, a bit unsteady... A wave of unease washed over her.
"Ms. Sanchez, what's wrong?"
Seeing Dorothy stagger out of her office, Austin quickly asked. After all, she had once vomited blood in the office!
"It's... it's nothing. I just need to step out."
Dorothy waved him off, managing a weak smile before heading to the elevator. Austin pursed his lips, watching her for a moment. Noticing Dorothy had gone to the floor with the CEO's office, he felt relieved. She must be going to see Mr. Lopez.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
