The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1240

"It's in God's hands now," is something people say when they're at their most helpless.

But for Jeffrey, there wasn't much else to say.

After a moment of silence, Dorothy whispered, "I'm sorry... I should have taken better care of her."

Jeffrey was taken aback, "What are you talking about? If Everett heard that, he'd have my head! I'm not blaming you!"

"I know you and Karen aren't blaming me, but... I just can't shake the feeling of guilt."

She couldn't help but think if she had reacted just a bit faster, stepped in front of that kid, maybe this whole mess could've been avoided.

"What guilt? It was Karen who dragged you out shopping to kill time! You didn't wish for her to get hurt. If I blamed you for this, what kind of person would that make me?"

Besides, Jeffrey wouldn't dare!

Not just because of Everett, but also for Karen's sake, he couldn't possibly blame her best friend.

"I just hope Karen will be okay, and the baby too."

"I have a good feeling they will be," Jeffrey managed a smile, though it was clear it was forced.

...

After seeing Everett, Quincy was in a dilemma.

How could she quickly confirm whether she was pregnant...

After all, only with that assurance could she stop using poison to control Everett.

She didn't really want to.

"You don't understand... I need to know if I'm pregnant as soon as possible."

Quincy felt cornered and shared Everett's situation, but she omitted the part about poisoning him. She only mentioned that the Lopez family wasn't keen on having her marry into their family. If she wasn't pregnant, the Lopez family might not want her anymore!

"In this day and age, still relying on having a child to secure your position?" her friend said, then immediately understood, "Well, given how desirable the other party is, in terms of wealth, power, and looks, I guess they do have their standards."

"Exactly! So, is there...?"

"I mean, there's a way, but take it with a grain of salt."

"What is it?" Quincy urged.

"Even if you're not pregnant, you could fake it! Getting a fake pregnancy report for you wouldn't be hard."
