The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"Everett?"

"Everett, don't scare me, wake up, can you hear me talking..."

It was hard to tell if her calling out had an effect, but Everett, his forehead dotted with beads of sweat, actually managed to slightly open his eyes, just a sliver.

His lips had turned completely colorless.

"Don't be afraid..."

Everett managed to say.

"How can I not be afraid! You need to be okay, Everett, I need you to be okay!"

But Everett couldn't hear her words, he even thought that Dorothy was nothing but a mirage.

All he could do was try his best, repeating over and over.

"Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... I'll save you..."

Even if it meant giving up his own life, he would save her.

...

The hospital still had that same smell.

Really, it was enough to make one feel nauseous and restless.

Dorothy never imagined her next visit here would be because of Everett!

Beside her, Kevin was pacing back and forth anxiously, but he dared not notify anyone else. After all, Mr. Lopez had warned them time and again not to inform Jonathan about any company affairs! Right now, it was just him and Dorothy. If something happened, who would take responsibility?

"Kevin, stop pacing, you're making me dizzy."

Dorothy was already uneasy, and his pacing only made it harder for her to calm down.

She didn't even know what they were facing next, and she didn't want to collapse just yet.

"Did Mr. Lopez say anything to you after I left?" Kevin was also worried about Mr. Lopez's plan being exposed too soon!

He was really stressed out.

"He didn't say much." Dorothy thought for a moment, then added, "But he said he would save me, told me not to be afraid, and kept repeating it."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Dorothy looked up at Kevin.

"Did he... mistake me for someone else?"

Had he mistaken her for Quincy?

Otherwise, why would she need Everett to save her?

The one who needed saving was Quincy. She was being coerced by the Caldwell family, forced to marry Everett.

"Ah, I don't know either." Seeing Dorothy had found a reasonable explanation, Kevin just went along with it, "Maybe." "Does he always feel this bad?"

As far as she knew, Everett was fairly healthy, though he did have minor issues. But which normal person who works late and pulls all-nighters nine out of ten days doesn't get sick?

He was considered to have a strong constitution.

"No, this has never happened before. This is the first time."

Otherwise, Kevin wouldn't be so scared!

"Should we contact Quincy?"

"Ms. Sanchez, this is not the time to be jealous! What good would it do for her to come?"

Dorothy forced a smile, "You're overthinking it. I'm not jealous. It's just that Quincy is a doctor, right? She knows Everett's medical history better than anyone. If she comes, she might be able to get him back on his feet faster."

Jealousy was an emotion Dorothy had long since cast aside.

If Everett still loved her, there was no opportunity for jealousy! Hadn't he always been like this over the years?

If Everett didn't love her, then there was even less point in being jealous.

Now, she didn't even have the status to be jealous, so why bother?

"Should I... really get in touch with Quincy?"

"Yes, go ahead! Let her take care of Everett, I should be getting back too, Abigailand Langston are still home without anyone to look after them."

Kevin looked at Dorothy, bit his lip, and finally made up his mind.
