The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"What do you mean 'nothing's wrong'? You just passed out again!"

Dorothy was terrified that he would ask her to quit her job, so she quickly said, "I won't stay up late anymore...I swear..."

"I can't trust you anymore, you little fibber. From tomorrow, Kevin will take over everything until you're completely detoxed. Then you can go back to dealing with the company's stuff."

She wanted to argue, to say that without Kevin by his side, things would be really inconvenient for Everett.

But seeing his slightly bloodshot eyes, Dorothy couldn't bring herself to protest. She just nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

After observing her for a while in the hospital and ensuring she could walk on her own, Everett finally took her back to Bay Residence.

As soon as they got out of the car, Everett made a point of walking around to her side and offering his hand.

"Hold on to me."

Dorothy protested, "I'm fine, really. I was walking normally in the hospital, wasn't I? Don't worry!"

When she refused, Everett simply swept her into his arms in a bold move.

"Ah!"

The sensation of being lifted off the ground made her a bit uncomfortable, so she quickly wrapped her arms around Everett's neck.

Looking at his profile, which was growing more brooding by the second, Dorothy said softly, "I'm really okay. You've already come so far with your plan, please don't act impulsively and go after Quincy now." She could tell by the tightness of Everett's expression that he was barely concealing his murderous intent towards Quincy.

"I know."

Hearing the doctor say that Dorothy's health was beginning to suffer irreversible damage made him want to tear Quincy apart, to rip out her kidneys, her organs!

"It'll all be over soon, Everett. Don't rush." Now it was Dorothy's turn to comfort him.

Apart from her, no one else could really get through to Everett.

"I was thinking, if Quincy doesn't get pregnant this month, there's always next month. But given the current situation, she has to get pregnant this month! We can't delay the plan any longer, not even a day.

"Everett, do your best. I know you're even more anxious than I am."

He looked at Dorothy, swallowing the words he wanted to say.

Everett was as worried as he was regretful for having drunk the water Dorothy had handed him!

It was supposed to be the antidote.

Dorothy should have been healthy by now!

He wanted to call her a fool, but looking at Dorothy's smiling face, how could he possibly utter those words?

...

When Quincy received Everett's text, saying they were meeting at the hotel again tonight, she took a long while to calm her fluttering heart.

His frequent invitations made it clear; he really wanted to have this child with her.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She changed into a new outfit in her dressing room, applied a delicate makeup look, and then, as if

remembering something important, she hurriedly took a taxi to the lab.

There she took out a small vial.

Although she was fairly certain the toxin wouldn't affect Everett's ability to father a child, there hadn't been any clinical trials to confirm this. So, Quincy decided to weaken the

toxin's effect on Everett.

After getting pregnant, if she really wanted to control him, she could always find another opportunity to administer it!

Besides, given Everett's current attitude, it seemed she might not need this after all.

Clutching the small vial in her hand, Quincy took a taxi to the hotel.

As soon as she got out, she saw Everett leaning against his car, seemingly on a call.

Just the sight of his deep profile made her instinctively take out her phone and snap a picture...

This man, he would be hers soon.

It felt like a dream!
