Her voice was weak, with a plea that was impossible to resist.
Jeffrey had known Heather for many years. She always maintained a noble and elegant demeanor. That was the first time she was begging.
"Ah, fine."
He sighed, turned around and left the ward.
At the corner of the hospital corridor, Jeffrey lit a cigarette, took a puff, and dialed Everett's number.
After a few rings, his deep, gravelly voice finally came through.
"What's up?"
"Well, things are pretty bad over here with Heather. I could use a hand if you're free."
"I need to get home early."
Jeffrey knew he would say that. He took a frustrated drag of his cigarette, "Don't you think you're being a bit harsh on Heather? After all, she developed acute appendicitis from working overtime. Putting aside the fact that we've been friends since childhood, as a leader of the Lopez Corporation, shouldn't you at least visit a hardworking employee?"
"If it was a guy, I would have gone already. But I'm married now, and it's not appropriate."
"Married, married! You're always using that as an excuse. Have you forgotten all about friendship?" Jeffrey raised his voice, full of indignation for Heather, "What if your wife doesn't want you to come? Would you also refuse to help me if I'm in trouble?"
There was a noticeable pause from Everett, who finally said after a few seconds, "I'll ask Dorothy later. If she has time, we'll go together."
Then the call ended. Looking at the ended call, Jeffrey seriously regretted agreeing to Heather's request.
Having Dorothy visit Heather was worse than not coming at all!
...
Inside the Lopez Corporation's conference room, Dorothy listened to Kevin's explanation, frantically taking notes, afraid to miss anything.

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...
