“I'm worried about your health...”
“Me? I'm fit as a fiddle! Look at me, being all good and even put work on hold. I did it all to ease your mind, and if you're still stressed, then it seems I've wasted my efforts,” Dorothy feigned annoyance. “If you keep piling this pressure on yourself, I'm going back to work tomorrow! No matter what I do, you seem determined to weigh yourself down.”
Everett pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her close.
“I'm terrified of losing you.”
“Don't be scared. We'll always be together.”
Dorothy gently stroked his back, “Life’s got its ups and downs, right? I believe the man upstairs saw I’d end up with you, such a huge blessing, and worried others might find it unfair. So, he threw these challenges my way! I take them in stride.”
Truth be told, whether there was a cure or not, Dorothy didn’t fret over it as much as Everett did.
He hadn’t tasted much bitterness in life, so he couldn’t empathize with Dorothy on the same level.
But she was different.
Just being by Everett’s side, enjoying all the moments together, was beyond Dorothy’s wildest dreams.
She really wasn’t obsessed with clinging to life.
…
Jeffrey immediately drove to the hospital, trying to call Karen on the way, but she didn’t pick up. It was Kenneth’s sister.
“How’s she doing, Kenneth?”
“All good, have you finished up with your things?” Now, speaking to Kenneth felt genuinely like talking to a relative.
It was simple, yet there was a sense of closeness.
“Yeah, guess I’m done for now. Karen’s really okay?” Jeffrey was always worried about his wife’s pregnancy.
The last one was nerve-wracking.

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...
