But Karen couldn't find solace in those words.
Losing Kenneth, who loved her so dearly, was a reality she couldn’t accept.
“Honey, I think Dorothy might be awake… Do you want to go check on her?”
He thought getting Karen to move around might help, instead of sitting there, drowning in tears.
But Karen’s body stiffened, her eyes brimming with tears.
“I’ll go in a bit, I just need a moment to gather myself.”
Karen took a deep breath, her sobs breaking through now and then, her eyes red and swollen, her nose tinged with the same hue, “Even though I know that Kenneth made his own choice, it’s just so hard. On one hand, there’s Kenneth, who treated me like his own sister, and on the other, my best friend. I just—”
She couldn’t finish, but Jeffrey understood.
“If I could do it all over again, if it meant Kenneth could come back to life just once, I’d even kneel before Dorothy, begging her to accept my brother’s love, even if just for a day! So he could leave this world without any regrets.”
Karen knew that even if given another chance, Kenneth, being so hopelessly devoted to Dorothy, would still choose to sacrifice himself for her cure.
She couldn’t blame Dorothy, nor did she want to.
It was guilt that weighed on her heart.
Why hadn’t she helped Kenneth fulfill his wish while he was alive?
“Ever since we were kids… Kenneth always looked out for me.” Karen’s voice broke, unable to speak continuously, “Anything I wanted that our parents wouldn’t buy, I just had to ask him… and he’d get it for me!”
Jeffrey held her close, his own heart aching, “Stop, honey, please don’t.”

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...
