Quincy gestured towards his wound. "Then lay still, buddy. Let me check out where the blood came from. You don't want Ms. Sanchez to come back and find you soaked in blood, do you?"
Out of everything Jonathan had said, he was right on that only one point - Dorothy was Everett's Achilles' heel.
And right now, Quincy was exploiting that weakness with pinpoint accuracy.
Seeing his son finally cooperating, Jonathan's worry settled down a bit, but it was quickly replaced by irritation. "You're trashing your own health over a woman?"
"Dorothy probably had her fair share of troubles trying to see me. You didn’t seem to care much about her then, did you?"
"She's not one of the Lopezes!"
Everett snorted with disdain, "Being a Lopez doesn’t put you above anyone else."
Jonathan had never been so blatantly defied by his son before. He was so angry he could barely breathe.
Quincy, sensing the situation was getting worse, quickly interjected while tending to the wound. "Alright, Jonathan! Can we stop quarreling? The patient needs to stay calm and rest to heal properly. Any irritation isn’t going to help!"
"He started it!"
"Well, how about you and Amanda step out of the hospital for a while? That way, Mr. Lopez can’t reach you to pick a fight." Quincy’s hands moved with practiced ease as she disinfected and rebandaged Everett’s wound, but the monitor needed to be taken down as it was damaged by him.
Once everything was settled, Quincy sought for a private chat with Jonathan to avoid stressing out the patient in the hospital. But as she reached the door, Everett called out to her.
"Don’t tell Dorothy about the fuss earlier."

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...
