Inside Amanda's VIP hospital suite, there was a constant stream of doctors popping in to check on her, each one leaving with a sigh of resignation.
Everett, who had been standing vigil by his mother's side, was visibly anxious. If it weren't for his reluctance to worsen his parents' opinion of Dorothy, he would have been long gone.
When the chief physician entered and left the room for the third time, Everett couldn't contain his frustration anymore.
"No news from Dorothy?" He questioned his father.
"I would've told you if she'd responded." Jonathan replied, pulling out his phone as proof.
Suddenly, Everett rose to his feet, heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" Jonathan quickly intercepted him.
"To smoke a cigarette."
"I'll join you."
Everett furrowed his eyebrows as he glanced at his father. "Can you leave mom alone here?"
"We have nurses, and she won't be waking up anytime soon. I need some fresh air too."
"I need to borrow your phone then." Before Jonathan could protest, Everett added, "I need to give Kevin some instructions. I've been away from the office for too long; I can't be out of touch."
After a brief moment of thought, Jonathan agreed and handed over his phone.
The father-son duo exited the room, and once they were out of earshot, Everett dialed Kevin. Jonathan, now somewhat at ease, lit up a cigarette.

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...
