"You can't just leave the hospital, Dorothy! Otherwise, I'll tie you to the bed myself, and you're not going anywhere!"
Kenneth had indulged her once already, letting her get drenched in the rain all night. Now that she knew Everett had gone abroad for treatment, she should be calming down!
Dorothy looked at him, his determination clear, then turned her gaze to Karen.
"Karen, I..."
"Abigail has been scared out of her wits because of what happened to Heather. She cries her eyes out as soon as it gets dark. Even Langston and I try to soothe her, it doesn’t work! Dorothy, don't you care about them?"
Her children...
A flicker of emotion finally crossed Dorothy's eyes.
Just when Karen and Kenneth thought she had come to her senses, Dorothy said, "Could you hand me my phone, please?"
Kenneth exchanged a look with Karen before turning around to fetch Dorothy's phone.
Taking the phone with her bandaged hand, Dorothy powered it on. It was inundated with unread messages and missed calls, most from Lane.
But she wasn't in the mood to confront Lane. Instead, she scrolled to Kevin's number and dialed.
The phone rang over and over until it was almost cut off automatically when finally, someone on the other end picked up.
"Ms. Sanchez."
"Kevin, I..."
"I know what you're going to ask! But I can't tell you anything due to the chairman's orders!" Kevin felt that the couple belonged together, but he couldn't bear the consequences.
Dorothy's mouth fell open, her fingers digging into the phone, "Is he... awake?"
She didn't dare to ask if Everett was dead, so she went straight to whether he had regained consciousness.
There was a long sigh on the other end, "I didn't go with him. They left me behind to deal with the company matters. I don't know anything specific!"
Kevin was just as anxious about Mr. Lopez's condition, but with his status, he couldn't just call the chairman to ask!

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...
