After hanging up the phone, Everett had already hailed a cab. He was a sharp one, and from Dorothy's few frantic words, he grasped the gravity of the situation.
Once in the car, Dorothy's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
Everett gently rubbed her back. "Don't worry, it's going to be okay. The resort has a doctor on call, and Jeffrey had made arrangements just in case something happened to Karen."
Dorothy looked up at him with concern in her eyes. "Will Karen's baby be okay?"
"Let's see what the doctor says," he replied cautiously, not wanting to jump to conclusions.
"I'll call Jeffrey! He should be around the resort, not far off."
Dorothy nodded, "Don't rush into lecturing him. Let's make sure Karen is alright first."
"Yeah."
Everett dialed Jeffrey's number several times to no avail – either he didn't have his phone on him, or it was on silent.
Luckily, the cab got them to the resort quickly, and the ambulance was right on their heels.
Dorothy rushed into the room to find Karen in shock, collapsed on the carpet with blood all around her.
"Dorothy... am I having a miscarriage?" Karen's voice broke through the chaos.
"Stop, don't say that! The doctor's here, we're going to the hospital," Dorothy said, knowing she had to hold it together and keep Karen calm.
"It's going to be fine, remember what you said? Any kid lucky enough to be born to you won't be some delicate flower."
Karen nodded vigorously, her eyes red. "Okay."

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...
