The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1023
"..."
"You're a doctor, Quincy. You've seen all of Dorothy's health reports; you know the situation. I'll let you examine me, and then you decide if we need to switch roles," Everett spoke gravely, pausing for a moment. "Once I start depending on your antidote, I won't let you die either. We'll be in this together."
Quincy didn't reject the proposal outright this time but pursed her lips instead. "I'll think about it."
Her own life was on the line; she had to be extremely cautious! If Everett was playing some game, or... what if he decided to risk it all rather than be blackmailed by her? That would be playing with fire!
Switching to Everett wasn't an ideal choice.
But...
Dorothy's health was deteriorating fast. It was hard to say how long she could hold on. While it's difficult to predict someone's lifespan, given her condition, it wouldn't be surprising if she fell seriously ill and passed away soon after. And if that happened, Everett would surely blame Quincy, regardless of whether it was her poison that caused it or not, and ensure she faced the consequences.
...
When Dorothy woke up, she found herself in a hospital room, her clothes replaced with a hospital gown, free of any bloodstains.
"Uh..."
Opening her eyes, she felt dizzy, perhaps from sleeping too long.
"You're awake."
Everett immediately put aside his work and came over to her bedside.
Dorothy nodded, "Yeah, you... why are you here...?"
"You were vomiting blood. Who else should be here if not me?"
Seeing his serious gaze, Dorothy guessed what he might be feeling. She reached out to hold his hand, "It's me who should be terrified! How can I dare to die? I'm afraid of reaching the afterlife only to see you following me."
"I would definitely follow you."
"I know, which is why I can't dare." Dorothy smiled, "Everett, you're too good of a person. How could I let you join me?"
Everett gently stroked her hair. "Promise me one thing, and I'll let you continue with the project."
"Sure! I promise," she agreed without hesitation.
"Not even going to ask what it is?"
Dorothy shook her head, "You wouldn't harm me. So, why bother asking? Whatever you want me to promise, I will."

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?
