"I feel it, you know? Mr. Lopez and Ms. Sanchez are truly in love." Quincy was aware that affection could not vanquish the reality. But their love was so fierce, and their willingness to sacrifice for each other was rare indeed. It moved even Quincy.
"Love's easy to claim, but it doesn't stand a chance against the unforeseeable life ahead!" Jonathan had more to say, but a glance at Quincy made him hold back. His stance, however, remained firm. "Anyway, I won't approve."

Dorothy returned from Karen’s and was surprised to find Everett already propped up in his hospital bed!
Her face lit up with joy. "Did Dr. Quincy take you off the monitors in advance? Does this mean you're recovering well?"
Everett's handsome features tightened. He wanted to nod but didn't, and deftly changed the subject.
"I feel like I could get up and walk around."
"You can't do that! Not until Dr. Quincy says so." Dorothy approached Everett's bed to wipe him down with a towel. That was when she noticed something was wrong. "Your bandages - they look freshly changed. Are you bleeding again?"
"Dr. Quincy changed them. Maybe it was needed after removing the equipment." he said vaguely. Luckily Dorothy didn't dwell on the details as her thoughts preoccupied by his apparent improvement.
"Everett, just focus on healing. I can't bear feeling guilty about you anymore."
She was earnest, looking straight into Everett's eyes. His love was a burden she couldn't shake, weighing on her day and night.
"I don't want your guilt." Everett said with more severity and sincerity in his eyes. "You know what I want. Dorothy, you agreed to my father's terms, didn't you?"
Stunned, Dorothy looked at him. "He told you?"

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...
