The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1726

Seeing the doctor hesitate for a moment, Felicity totally understood. After all, this was the Lopez family's private physician. She was probably worried about being held responsible if anything went wrong—which, honestly, made perfect sense.

So Felicity jumped in quickly, “Hey, don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility. I promise, you won’t get dragged into it.”

The doctor waved her off with a smile. “Thanks for understanding. Alright, I’ll do as you say. The results won’t take long. I’ll take your blood sample and head back to my office. Give me about half an hour, and I’ll text you.”

“Great!” Felicity nodded, rolled up her sleeve, and let the doctor draw her blood without any fuss.

Just as they finished, Miles Lopez and Dorothy Sanchez walked in.

Miles frowned. “You really don’t look great, Felicity. Maybe you should get checked out at the hospital. Did you tell your folks?”

Felicity shook her head. “No. Please don’t tell my parents, okay? They’d just worry, and it’s really not a big deal. Honestly, I’ve always been a little on the frail side. Any minor thing and it looks like I’m seriously ill.”

Dorothy smiled, shaking her head. “You’ve grown up so much, you know that? When did you learn to hide being sick just so your parents wouldn’t worry?” Her eyes softened. “But listen, being thoughtful is great and all, but you still need to look after yourself! If you don’t take care of your health, your parents will have way more to worry about down the line.”

“I know, I know,” Felicity replied, managing a small smile.

Dorothy gave her a gentle wave. “Alright, I just stopped by to check on you. Langston, you take good care of Felicity, okay? I’ll head out now.”

“I’ll walk you out,” Miles offered.

“No need,” Dorothy said, waving him off. “You stay here with Felicity.”

She left the room, and just as she got to her car, her phone rang. It was Everett Lopez.

“Not at the office?” Everett asked.

Dorothy paused, immediately picking up on his tone. “Did you go by the office looking for me?”
