She couldn't deny it—Everett was trapped in this relationship deeper than she was.
So if Everett, the CEO of Lopez Corporation, with all his fearlessness and clout, still couldn't turn the tide, what could an ordinary person like her possibly change?
...
Dorothy returned to the hospital room and, as she pushed the door open, she was stunned to see Everett standing by the window!
He was still tall and upright, with a posture that screamed pride and privilege. There he was, lost in thought quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Hearing her enter, he tilted his head slightly.
The once sharp edges of Everett's face were softened by illness and implemented by a languid grace, which all made him appear almost boyish.
"You're back."
"Why are you out of bed without permission? Dr. Quincy said you could try walking tomorrow, not today!" Dorothy was frantic with worry, fearing for his health, especially since Everett was known for being stubborn.
"One day won't make a difference." Everett was tired of being confined to the bed. His skin was itching for movement.
Dorothy hurried over and locked eyes with him. "Get back into bed, now."
"Just a little longer." Everett's lips curled into a smile at her concern, then he said softly, "Give me your hand."
"What?"
Although unsure of his intentions, Dorothy extended her hand.
Everett grasped her wrist and lifted his shirt, pressing her palm against his firm abs.
"I'm going to lose these if I don't get up and move." he joked.
“You loved touching here when we were on bed. I have to keep them.”
Flustered, Dorothy's cheeks turned red, and she glared at him. "Let go, I don't love touching them!"
"But you did, many times last night!"
"That's because I was sitting on top of you, and I... I needed something to balance myself!"

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...
