The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1179

"Haven't eaten?!"

"Nope!" Dorothy replied with a crisp tone, her mind suddenly ticking over.

What if Quincy was willing to offer her another one!

Wouldn't that solve everything?

Then Everett wouldn't need any plan at all and could directly kick Quincy to the curb.

But things weren't as easy as she thought...

Quincy squinted his eyes, staring at Dorothy for nearly a minute before probing, "What about the medicine I gave you?"

"Tossed it! I was afraid that your stuff could spread and silently kill me! You're a doctor, specializing in these things, how could I compete with you."

"Tossed it?"

Quincy's brow furrowed slightly.

Kevin, who had just returned, sensed something was off and quickly intervened, "Quincy, Ms. Sanchez! Let's not fight now, Mr. Lopez is still resting inside. Can we talk about this downstairs?"

"I have nothing to discuss! It’s about the money! I'm giving you three more days to hand over the assets I asked for!"

Dorothy, fearing she might mess up Everett's plan, quickly seized the opportunity to slip away.

Behind her, Quincy watched Dorothy's retreating figure with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

But as she glanced back at Everett's room, the confusion faded a bit.

After all, the slight sweat on Everett's forehead and his weak appearance didn't seem faked...

His voice was even a bit hoarse, impossible to fake.

...

Everett lay in the hospital room for a while longer, waiting for the noise outside to cease before standing up.

Kevin entered first, holding the antidote and sighed, "This is only a part of the antidote, for temporary relief."

"Give it to Dorothy."

"Got it."

"Tsk, but you shouldn't insult yourself too."

"What did I say about myself?"

"If I'm the cheating scumbag, what does that make you?"

Dorothy pouted, rolling her eyes at him, "I was talking about you and Quincy! I'm not involved."

"Ah, to think you're quite the drama queen when you lose your temper."

"Yeah!" Dorothy actually felt quite satisfied, "Now I get why Karen is so bubbly and outgoing! Letting it all out makes one feel so much better."

"Yeah, you could learn a thing or two."

Dorothy nodded, her gaze falling on his forehead, raising an eyebrow, "But you still outdid yourself, how did you manage to get sweat on your forehead?"

It's not like he used a spray bottle, right?

At that, an odd blush crept over Everett's handsome face.
