"Can't you see how this breaks my heart? She's out of her mind; let's just leave her with her life! I promise you, I won't help her anymore. If she stirs up any more trouble, it's on her head!"
Jonathan simply couldn't understand his wife.
He even felt like Heather was the flesh and blood of Amanda!
"She tried to kill our son! And you're still making excuses for her?"
"But the real culprit behind all this is Dorothy! I get where Heather's coming from. She felt hopeless and thought she couldn't have a future with Everett, so she..."
"Enough!" Jonathan snapped, cutting her off sharply, yet when he saw his wife's pleading eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say more. "Just pray Everett's okay. Otherwise, I'll never forgive Heather."
Amanda nodded solemnly, "At my age, if I lose my son, I might as well follow him to the grave."
"You're just enabling Heather!"
Jonathan took a deep breath, his gaze shifting just in time to see a doctor emerging from the operating room.
He rushed over, "How's my son doing?"
"He's not in great shape. He had moments of consciousness during the surgery and kept muttering something about Dorothy. Does that mean anything to you?"
Jonathan and Amanda exchanged a knowing look.
"No! My son doesn't know anyone named Dorothy," Amanda insisted, still trying to distance her son from any connection with Dorothy.
The doctor, unaware of the intricacies, simply nodded, "I must have misheard. I thought if this person was close to the patient, bringing her in might help, especially to boost his will to live. His injuries are severe but he kept calling out Dorothy, though his voice was too faint for me to catch clearly."
"Can I go in then? To beg him to live for me!" Amanda clutched the doctor's hand desperately, "I'm his mother; who could be more important to him?"

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...
