The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 204
"Mr. Lopez's child?" Karen was still reeling in shock, barely registering what Dorothy was saying.
Thankfully, Kenneth was in the room. He promptly shut the door and clamped a hand over his sister's mouth. "Dorothy said to keep it hush-hush. Zip it!"
"But, but..." Karen couldn't understand why such a thing had to be kept a secret.
Having a child was a game-changer. Surely the Lopez family wouldn't dare cross her now. Shouldn't this baby be Dorothy's shield?
"Do you think they would hesitate to harm an unborn child when they've already shown their willingness to take my mother’s life?" Dorothy said.
Karen was at a loss for words.
Kenneth nodded, feeling a shiver of fear.
If those people targeted Dorothy directly, she wouldn't be here now.
The might of the Lopez family was unparalleled. Not only in Eldorria City but nationwide, few could stand against them. Their corporation was a significant contributor to the city's tax revenue. Going against them was like trying to stop a freight train with a feather.
Karen furrowed her brows. "But you still have Mr. Lopez. He truly loves you."
Dorothy gave a wry smile as her gaze dropped. "I know, but on the other hand, there are his biological parents."
She didn't doubt Everett's love for her, but when compared to parental love, she wasn't sure if their love was enough.
"You're just going to let your mother's death slide?"
"As a daughter, I won't let this go. Those who have blood on their hands, including Everett's parents, won't be spared."
Hence she had to sever ties with Everett.
Just like how she often wished her mother hadn't given birth to her.
"I'll arrange a doctor for the procedure. We'll make sure no one from the Lopez family finds out about the baby." Kenneth immediately understood Dorothy's intention.
"Thank you." She looked at Kenneth as guilt began to wash over her.
He had helped her numerous times, and now he might get dragged into this mess. The Lopez family might even target him and Karen.
She couldn't afford to gamble on love anymore.
Her heart was hardened.
Maybe it was her mother's death that had snapped her back to reality, or perhaps it was because of his unanswered calls.

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
