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?!"
He was half-truthing, mainly worried that revealing the poisoning to Karen would only make her worry endlessly.
"Dorothy's sick? What kind of illness?" Karen had only noticed her friend seemed a bit depressed but was unaware of any illness.
They were all keeping it from Karen, who was pregnant.
Jeffrey tilted his head, pondering how to phrase it, "A rather rare illness."
"Quincy's the only one who can treat it?"
"Seems like it, for now. She's the only known cure."
As soon as Jeffrey finished, Karen slammed the table, "Then you and Everett better make sure Quincy cures Dorothy! By any means necessary!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
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....
