She couldn't bear this ending. It was too much.
Kenneth had done nothing wrong, so why did he have to bear the consequences?
Dorothy felt like a curse, as if she was the one who had doomed Kenneth. And now, she couldn't even muster the strength to weep aloud, her voice simply wouldn't come out.
"Oh, Everett... it hurts so much..."
"I know." Everett's eyes were tinged with red, his hand firmly holding hers, afraid to let go for even a second. "I know."
She weakly moved her hand to her chest, unable to cry out loud, yet tears flowed like a broken faucet.
"It hurts..."
The pain was suffocating her!
Dorothy wished it had been her who died, not Kenneth, and definitely not Everett.
If she had known this would be the outcome, she would have wished to turn back time and end her own life, sparing everyone else the trouble.
Everett was at a loss for words.
This trap was meant for him, set by Lane for his own downfall.
If it hadn't been for Kenneth, it would've been Everett fighting for an antidote right now, possibly facing his own demise.
"Kenneth... did he... say anything...?"
Dorothy knew she shouldn't speak, but she couldn't help it.
What did it matter if her throat was sore? Kenneth had lost his life!
Everett's eyes dropped, his voice low, "When he was rushed to the hospital, he was still breathing. He asked to see me, and then... he told me..."
He choked up, unable to continue for a few seconds before finally managing to say, "He told me to take good care of you, to never let you down, or he'd haunt me as a ghost."
...
At that moment, Dorothy couldn't bear to hear any more.

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...
