The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 73

Just in time, his assistant brought dinner.

He only messed with Dorothy once, then let her be.

But he still drained most of her energy. Even eating required him to carry her to the dining room.

Before sleeping, Everett propped himself up on the bedhead and read a book.

Facing his deep profile, Dorothy wanted to ask about Heather several times, but in the end, she stayed silent.

She glanced at her phone. The day after the next day would have been the 25th of August.

Everett should not be returning to Bay Residence that day, which was also the deadline her mother had given her.

...

The next day, Dorothy got busy the moment she arrived at the office.

Kevin still had a few big projects in his hands, and he couldn't focus solely on Social Networking Service, so he handed over almost everything else to Dorothy.

It was almost noon when she finally lifted her head from a pile of files and documents, found a staircase and called Karen.

"By tomorrow, at the latest, I need a guy to accompany me to see my mom."

"Huh?" Karen was obviously taken aback, "I tried to find someone for you, but he said he can only do it next week, can't you wait a bit longer?"

"My mom said I have to bring someone to see her within three days, or she will be discharged from the hospital."

If possible, Dorothy would have preferred to push the deadline back. It would have been best if it was pushed back so far that her mother forgot about it.

"Your mom really knows how to squeeze you." Karen clicked her tongue, "What to do? I'll try to communicate with my friend again. Don't worry for now."

After hanging up, Dorothy returned to her office and saw a message from Everett.

[The hospital said your mother wants to postpone the operation.]

She quickly replied the message.

[No need to postpone! I'll handle the matter. Thanks for your concern.]

She knew her mother was giving her a veiled warning because she probably thought Dorothy wouldn't be bringing anyone.
