The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1082

"Anything else?"

Everett frowned, clearly on his last nerve. "I'm swamped, don't have time for this."

"You really don't care if Dorothy makes it or not?"

"Have I not cared? You didn't let her die, did you?"

"…"

Everett stopped looking at her, opened the door, and called out, "Kevin, take her away."

"Sure thing, Mr. Lopez." Kevin hurried over with a grin. "Quincy, this way, please."

Quincy clenched her fists.

No need for any more testing.

Everett truly didn't love Dorothy anymore, or at least, not as much as before.

If he had flat-out ignored the antidote, one might guess he was putting on an act, pretending.

If he had agreed to replace Dorothy straight away, it could mean it was all a play, that he still cared for Dorothy.

But Everett did neither!

He was indifferent, even treating it as if it was just another business matter.

He wasn't entirely neglecting Dorothy's wellbeing, but he wasn't as desperate for the final cure as before.

"Mr. Lopez! Dorothy is the mother of your children, don't you care at all? Her health is failing; she might not last a few years even with regular doses!"

"That's your concern, not mine."

Everett's final look said it all. "If Dorothy dies, the cops will investigate her death, and you'll be the one they're after, not me."

"…"

Kevin chimed in just in time, "After you, Quincy."

…

Dorothy didn't even know how she managed to get back to Bay Residence.

She felt like a walking corpse.
