Felicity looked at him with the most sincere eyes she could muster, lifting her hand in a pledge, "I swear, I got this."
Silence filled the car, cooling the atmosphere to a freezing point. She deliberately avoided Miles's glare, offering an awkward smile, "Look, I was just thinking... taking you to the hospital might dent your pride. But if you're cool with it, I'm totally up for accompanying you!"
He stayed silent, making her anxiety spike.
Just as Felicity was brainstorming other solutions, Miles finally spoke up, "Fine, you'll come with me to the hospital."
"Wait, what?"
Seeing him start the engine, Felicity was caught off guard, "Like, right now?! Calvin is still waiting for me back at the room!"
"Yes, now."
He couldn't bear the thought of Felicity spending another moment alone with that guy!
Whatever the excuse, he'd rather have her with him.
Felicity muttered under her breath, "Geez, in such a rush..."
...
As the car pulled up to the hospital entrance, she stepped out and looked up at the signage, feeling a mix of emotions.
Isn't it said that life has a way of leveling the playing field?
Miles, with his good looks, reputable family, sensible parents, high education, and unparalleled work ethic among his peers, had it all.
But who would have guessed? Beneath that tall and handsome exterior, he had... issues.
She quickly sent a text to Calvin on WhatsApp, telling him to rest up at the hotel for a bit. When she looked up, she met Miles's gaze fixed on her.
"If you're here with me, try to stay focused."
She was taken aback, "Focused? I was just messaging Calvin!"
It was Miles, though, whose phone had been buzzing non-stop since they got in the car, as if a myriad of urgent matters awaited his attention.

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...
