The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1405

Dorothy was on the verge of collapsing, but thankfully, Everett was right there to catch her fall.

Without wasting a moment, Everett dialed for an ambulance and also called Kevin to pick up Abigail from preschool and take her back to their home in Bay Residence.

Given the circumstances, Abigail must have been terrified. With everyone at the hospital, they couldn't just leave her to wait at school by herself.

Once everything was settled, the doctor finally came out to meet them.

"How's my son doing, doctor?" Dorothy rushed over, her eyes filled with concern and urgency.

"He's out of surgery now. It was a minor fracture. With proper rest and care, he should recover within three to six months. This recovery period is crucial."

Hearing this, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.

Everett, who had been holding her hand tightly, comforted her, "Don't worry, everything's going to be okay."

The doctor, seeing Dorothy's distress, spoke in a gentle voice, "Your son is very brave. He didn’t cry once during the surgery."

Langston, with his charming looks, had left quite the impression on the medical staff due to his distinctive appearance among boys his age.

Soon enough, Langston was wheeled out to them.

His face was pale, lips nearly white, lying there so quietly.

Upon seeing his parents, Langston spoke with a hoarse voice, "How's sis? Is she okay?"

"Langston, you were her hero today! Your sister is perfectly fine, not a scratch on her!" Dorothy cried, holding her son's hand, unable to stop the tears.

"She's okay, so I'm okay. Mom, please don't cry," Langston said weakly, unable to sit up, he waved his hand towards Everett, "Dad, please comfort mom."

"Yeah."

Everett himself was barely keeping it together, but he had to stay strong for Dorothy. If he panicked, it would only make her more anxious.

Back in the hospital room, the doctor came in again to go over some aftercare instructions.

"Mom, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Of course, you can tell me anything." Dorothy knew her son was sensible and wouldn't ask for anything unreasonable, so she readily agreed.

Langston grinned, "Can you not be mad at sis?"

"…"

"She just really liked that pony, she didn't mean for any of this to happen! She was sobbing earlier, and if you and dad get mad at her, I'm afraid she'll cry even more! If she gets used to crying all the time, it's going to drive me crazy!"

Though he was complaining, it was clear he cared deeply for his sister.

Dorothy's heart warmed at his words.

Taking her son's hand in hers, she soothed, "You're a great big brother, and she'll always love you for it."

"As long as she cries less, that's all I ask!"
