The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1564

Finally, after a hectic drive, Calvin managed to get Felicity to the hospital, where they were immediately ushered into a private room.

Thankfully, after a thorough check-up, it turned out there was nothing serious. It was just a bit of a chill compounded by the wear and tear of a long-haul flight she hadn't quite recovered from.

The doctor administered some fever-reducing medication and suggested they observe her for a bit longer to make sure she was all clear before heading home.

"Alright, thank you," Calvin responded as the doctor left the room. No sooner had the door closed than his phone erupted into a frenzy of rings and vibrations.

He scowled, answering the call with a furrowed brow, "I've got an emergency, won't make it back to the office... What do you mean, the company will collapse without me?... I've already told you I can't make it, are you deaf?"

Felicity was just coming around when she caught the tail end of his rant. She wasn't surprised in the least.

Truth be told, Calvin wasn't known for his patience. He simply chose to show a more playful side around her.

Trying to shift her position, Felicity attempted to sit up, her movements sluggish.

From one moment to the next, Calvin's voice switched from raging storm to soothing calm, "You're awake? Let me help you."

"Thirsty," she managed to croak out, her throat feeling like she had swallowed a piece of coarse sandpaper.

"I'll get you some warm water. Don't move," he said, quickly moving to fetch a cup.

After a sip, her throat felt a tad better, but not by much.

She hadn't anticipated the illness hitting her this hard, assuming it was just a regular cold...

"If you've got work, go ahead. I can make my way back on my own."

"No worries! It’s my family's—well, a relative's company."

"Watch them fire you."

Calvin looked up, startled.

"What's wrong with her?"

Miles hadn't expected to rush over only to be greeted by this scene: Felicity, cradled in Calvin’s arms, a frown creasing her brow even in sleep, clearly not resting easy.

"She's sick," Calvin said coldly, shifting to block Miles' attempt to take her. "Step aside."

His demeanor was far from the friendly banter back in Eldorria City, verging on hostile towards Miles, who was, admittedly, a few years his junior and a rival in love.

Miles, not wanting to cause a scene, simply extended his hand, "Hand her over to me."

But Calvin stepped back, locking eyes with him, "Have you sorted out your issues with your ex?"
