"Really?" Karen's eyes, which had dimmed with despair just moments ago, suddenly sparkled with hope again. "You're not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?"
"Why would I? I'm not entirely sure, but Lane told me if I don't agree to be with him, I'd be in grave danger. From that, I guess if I agree to be with him, I'd be safe!"
Karen's voice pitched up in excitement, "Yes, yes! That makes total sense! He actually said that?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Then you have to, you must get in touch with Everett right away and tell him about this! And then find Lane as soon as you can. Tell him you'll be with him, so he gives you the antidote!"
Karen sounded almost as if she wished she could rush off to find Lane and secure the antidote herself!
Dorothy tried to calm her, "We can't just rush into this. We need to think this through carefully, especially you, you're pregnant. Just stay calm and wait for news, okay?"
"Okay! I'll be waiting for your update!"
After hanging up, although Karen was still worried, she felt a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, hearing about Quincy's demise felt almost like a death sentence for Dorothy!
Just as Karen attempted to rise from the couch, she felt an uncomfortable sensation in her abdomen...
A vague, indescribable feeling.
She frowned, clutching her stomach, instinctively reaching for her phone to call Jeffrey, but then remembered he was in the midst of a critical moment. She couldn't add to his worries.
Fortunately, she had Kenneth.
"Bro, could you take me to the hospital?"
"What's wrong? Where's Jeffrey?"
"Let's not get into that right now. Can you come pick me up? We'll talk on the way."
Kenneth, of course, didn't hesitate. "Okay, wait for me."

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
