The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 615

In the end, Karen relented and accompanied Jeffrey to the hospital.

Levi had been assigned to a private room, which was an arrangement undoubtedly made by Jeffrey.

She had picked up fruits and gifts along the way, and as she entered the room, Levi's eyes lit up at the sight of her. However, the light quickly faded when he spotted Jeffrey, who was impeccably dressed in a suit, following closely behind.

"Levi, how are you feeling now?"

Karen's voice was as dry as an overcooked turkey, mostly because she was feeling guilty. She barely knew Levi, having only met him for the first time, but he had already taken a beating because of her.

Jeffrey's fists had been aimed straight for Levi's face. With bandages of all sizes plastered across his features, poor Levi looked like a mummy straight out of a Halloween party.

"I'm fine," Levi forced a grin, pain flaring across his face as he did so.

Karen moved to check on Levi's injuries, but before she could take a step closer, Jeffrey yanked her back.

"Look, I just told Karen here to apologize to you, man. We got into a quarrel and she wanted to make me jealous, so she invited you to have hot pot with her. It was all about getting a rise out of me, not because she was into you."

The way Jeffrey said "Karen" made her skin crawl with annoyance.

But to Levi, it sounded like cold, hard truth. A bitter smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. "So that's how it is. I thought she actually liked me."

"Oh, come on. That’s nonsense." Jeffrey chuckled, arching an eyebrow mischievously. "Just look at me. One glance and you know who she's really into."

"Jeffrey!" Karen couldn't help but pinch his arm, even though he seemed to enjoy it way too much.

To any onlooker, they were the picture of a couple playfully bickering.

Levi felt a pang of sadness but wasn't the type to hold grudges. Given his parents were close friends with Karen's, he wasn't about to make a big deal out of it.

"Well, just don't make her mad again, okay? Karen’s a nice girl."

"I don't need you to tell me that." Jeffrey pulled Karen into his arms and planted a dramatic kiss on her cheek. "We've already decided to tie the knot."
