The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1112

"Go ahead if you want to, but you don't need my permission."

"Do you even care a tiny bit about Dorothy's health anymore?" Quincy quirked a brow, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Heartless, much?"

Everett frowned at her, irritation clear in his gaze. "Leave."

"I just came to see how you're doing."

"Don't bother, just go."

Silence.

Everett turned away, pulling the blanket over his head in a clear sign he had no interest in engaging further.

It wasn't long before Quincy's footsteps faded away.

Only once he was sure the door had clicked shut did Everett sit up again.

He grabbed his phone and dialed Kevin. "Where are you?"

"Picking up the kids, on our way back to their place!" Kevin's voice perked up at the sound of Mr. Lopez. "Mr. Lopez, are you feeling better?"

"Send me your location." Everett bypassed the question.

"Sure, sending it now."

After hanging up, Everett swung his legs out of bed and left the hospital.

...

Dorothy was back at their place, waiting for Abigail and Langston.

She took the opportunity to whip up some dinner, thinking the kids could eat as soon as they got home.

Just as she finished setting the table and washed her hands, a knock sounded at the door.

"Coming!"

Dorothy hurried over, a smile spreading across her face as she opened the door—

And then, her smile froze.

"Everett?"

Wasn't he supposed to be in the hospital...

"Daddy!" Langston's excitement filled the air as he saw her. "I dreamt about dad last night and missed him so much today. So, I asked Kevin to call him, and guess what? He was free to come home with us!"
