The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1265

"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."

"So, you mean, what started with Quincy blackmailing Dorothy for the antidote has now shifted to Lane using the only antidote to blackmail her?"

"Something like that," Karen sighed. "Whether Quincy left behind an antidote before his death is just Dorothy's speculation. But it seems like... he wanted to use it as leverage to be with Dorothy."

Kenneth hadn't realized the situation was so dire, with Dorothy's life hanging in the balance.

Hearing this, his face turned pale.

If anything went wrong with the antidote, Dorothy could be in serious trouble...

After a few seconds of silence, Kenneth suddenly spoke up.

"Karen, I need you to do something for me, but don't tell anyone, not even Jeffrey."

Karen was taken aback. "What is it? Why all the secrecy?"

"Find Lane's location from Jeffrey's phone and tell me."
