He knew that if anyone had a bead on Lane's whereabouts, it would be Jeffrey!
Karen furrowed her brows, confusion written all over her face. "What are you planning to do?"
If he were still able-bodied, perhaps he could lend a hand. But now, struggling even to walk, she couldn't fathom why Kenneth would need Lane's location.
"Just do it, no questions asked," Kenneth pressed, his lips a thin line. "If you want Dorothy to have another shot at getting the antidote sooner, then help me."
Hearing this, Karen immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Maybe an extra pair of hands will indeed get us that antidote sooner."
...
Dorothy tried calling Everett multiple times, but no one answered.
The more he didn't pick up, the more anxious she became.
Fortunately, Jeffrey soon got back to her. "Don't worry, I've got Everett under my watch. He won't do anything foolish!"
"Let me talk to him! I need to discuss something with him."
"Okay."
In the background, Dorothy could hear Jeffrey whispering to Everett, "It's Dorothy's call. She needs to speak with you, might be about Lane."
As time ticked by, and Dorothy was about to make her way to them herself, Everett's voice finally came through.
"Dorothy."
Hearing his voice, Dorothy's anxious heart settled a bit.
"Stay calm. Lane must have the antidote! He knows I've been poisoned."
"…Are you sure?" Everett, like Karen, worried this was just something Dorothy said to keep them calm.

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...
