The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1268

"I'll talk to him."

He was pretty sure his son wouldn't hold a grudge over this.

"Alright."

Everett stepped into Langston's room, just as Jeffrey emerged from another.

Dorothy handed him a bag, suggesting he pack his dirty clothes in it.

"I'll just toss them out later, no biggie!"

"Better toss 'em. If Karen sees, she'll overthink things! Give her a ring. Kenneth just told me Karen's at the hospital for a check-up."

At the mention of the hospital, Jeffrey's face lost all color.

The lot of them had developed a phobia of hospitals; those words felt like a curse!

"What's wrong with her?!"

"Nothing serious. Kenneth said Karen felt a bit off, so he took her for a check-up. The doc said it's nothing major, probably just stress. You should go see her, ask her about it in person."

"Alright, I'm off then!"

Jeffrey had meant to ask how Everett was holding up, but hearing about Karen in the hospital, he rushed off without even waiting for Everett to return from Langston's room.

That was his queen bee; if something happened to her, it would be a disaster!

After seeing Jeffrey off, Dorothy also went to check on the kids.

Watching Everett tinker with Langston's computer felt... oddly like seeing an older Langston in action!

"Did you find it?"

"Yeah." Langston's computer was a gift from him, cracking the passwords he'd set was a breeze.

"Still didn't specifically mention the antidote?" Everett was somewhat worried.

Though the pieces seemed to point to Lane having the antidote, having used it to dispose of Quincy.

But...

As long as he didn't verbally confirm it, all these clues were just speculation!

"Everett, listen to me! For now, let's pretend we know nothing. We still have some of Quincy's antidote left, enough to keep me going for a while. If we could play a role for Quincy, we can do the same for Lane!" Dorothy placed her other hand over Everett's, gently stroking it. "Next time Lane contacts me, I'll ask him outright about the antidote."

"..." Everett remained silent, just looking at her.

Dorothy arched an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

"I feel so powerless."
