The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1563

Even when he pried about Felicity and her brother's business, he was just left stewing in his own jealousy.

Ignorance is bliss, he thought.

After all, she was back now. The past didn't matter anymore.

Felicity stared at him for a few seconds before speaking, "Calvin, even if I'm single again, I really only see you as a friend. You...shouldn't waste your time on me."

"How can you say I'm wasting my time! Serving you is my privilege," Calvin wasn't deterred in the slightest, his smile even wider, "Whether you accept or not is up to you, pursuing you is up to me!"

"..."

"May I be so bold as to ask, Your Highness, where do you find me lacking?"

Felicity was speechless for a moment before responding, "Because you have an ex-girlfriend! I don't want to be with a man who has an ex."

Calvin clicked his tongue, "Wow! That's a deal-breaker, isn't it? I don't know how I'll ever find a princess like you again!"

Suddenly interested, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "If your ex-girlfriend attempted something drastic over you, would you...visit her in the hospital?"

"What's that got to do with me? I didn't cause it."

"…But she did it because of you!"

Calvin shrugged, "All the more reason not to go! What if she blames me even more?"

"…"

"Wait, did your brother's ex do something drastic?"

Felicity glared at him, "Stop guessing!"

And he guessed it right on the nose! So annoying!

"Alright, Princess."

...

When they arrived home, Felicity got out of the car first and went inside, while Calvin parked the car.

As soon as she got to her bedroom, she flopped onto the bed, not wanting to move a muscle!

Her gaze drifted to the window where a few daisies caught her eye.

Struggling to her feet, she shuffled out of the room.

Her legs felt like they were made of jelly!

In the living room, Calvin seemed to be dealing with some work issues, frowning as he spoke to someone on his computer.

Catching sight of Felicity, he didn't even finish his conversation before closing his laptop and standing up, "What's wrong with you?"

The moment his palm touched her skin, he was alarmed.

"Holy smokes, you're burning up! Why didn't you call me? We're going to the hospital, now!"

Before Felicity could protest, Calvin grabbed the car keys, not even bothering with his shoes, and scooped her up, dashing out the door!

At first, she was somewhat lucid, but soon the fever had her utterly delirious.

Seeing Felicity in this state, Calvin put her in the back seat of the car and quickly dialed a number, "Dad! Send some doctors over."

Otherwise, waiting in a hospital line could take forever, and Felicity might be out of her mind by then!
