"I'm with you!" How could Dorothy just let him face danger alone? "Listen to me, I've called Jeffrey. The two of us are enough.

Despite her concerns, Dorothy could only nod in agreement.
Given her current condition, she knew she might only add to Everett's troubles if she went along.
"Alright, Everett, just cback safe! It doesn't matter if you can't get the antidote, I just want you back here, safe and sound!" Lane had becdangerously unpredictable.

It was Dorothy who had sacrificed her chance at the antidote for him, and now she was the one in danger. Everett needed that antidote, for Dorothy's sake.
In a dilapidated house on the outskirts, Quincy could only watch as her blood, pulsing in twith her heartbeat, sprayed out.
As a doctor, she was painfully aware that a punctured carotid artery meant almost certain death outside of an operating room.
So, this was it - her final moments.
She never imagined she'd die like this, at the hands of a man as obscure to her as Lane...
Quincy was tied up, virtually unable to communicate with the outside world. In that moment, she desperately wished she could inform Everett of the antidote's formula, wished for a chance to start over. But there wasn't one.
For her, this was the end of the road.

t Not just blood covered the floor, but Quincy's severed hand and vaand axes lay scattered el "Everett, Lane has lost his mind!" Jeffrey had known him for years and never imagined Lane could go this far.

She had said, "When I die, it'll be as if m Dorothy dies too. Our fates are intertwined from this moment on!" Back then, Quincy had been so confident, believing she held Everett's life in her hands.
She thought she could walk with her caring aboutm head held high, not should I, uh, anyone else's words!" call someone to chelp?" Jeffrey was at a loss for words. With Quincy gone, the situation seemed hopeless.
If there had been another way to get the antidote, Everett wouldn't have been so desperate.
Suddenly, Everett began frantically searching through Quincy's om belongings, no longer caring about cleanliness.
