"If you wish it to be real, it's real. If you think it's a dream, then it's just a dream."
Everett reached out his surgically repaired hand, slowly extending it forward.
Dorothy, afraid of hurting him, merely touched his fingers, but he insisted on grabbing her hand!
Soon, signs of blood seeping through became evident!
"Everett, let go! Have you lost your mind? Your hand just underwent surgery; you can't exert force like this!"
Now, the mere sight of red triggered Dorothy, and she turned to look for a doctor.
Because of a tendon injury, his hand was weak, but Everett grabbed her with his other hand, refusing to let go.
"Then don't leave."
"I won't leave, I promise I won't!" Dorothy was genuinely scared; she hurriedly cradled his hand, looking at it under the dim light of the hospital room, her eyes welling up, "Everett, I really don't deserve you to do this... I've lost all attachment to this world. Life has been so exhausting."
Everett looked at her weakly, his eyes not blinking.
"What about me, Abigail, and Langston? You don't care for us?"
"I know you'll take good care of them."
"And what about me?"
Everett had asked Dorothy "And what about me?" many times, and each time, she failed to give him the answer he hoped for.
This time was no different.
"Without me, you'll have a broader horizon, a soulmate who resonates more with you! Everett, we were a mistake from the start. The fault isn't yours; it's mine. I can't go on."
Every day was a mental torment. The sleepless nights, every minute and every second brought her to the brink of collapse!
"I promised you justice for your mother's case... trust me this once." He never forgot his promise.

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...
