The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1121

Karen caught Kenneth's gaze from across the room.

"Let me have a word with my brother."

"Alright."

After hanging up the call, before Karen could even speak, Kenneth beat her to it.

"Is Dorothy not up for hanging out?"

"She does, but it's a bit complicated right now! Everett's at her place."

Kenneth furrowed his brows instantly.

"Why is he bothering Dorothy again? Didn't they already break up?"

"According to Dorothy, the kids asked him to come over! And then Everett got sick, and just when Kevin was tied up and couldn't pick him up, so Dorothy couldn't make it."

"…Everett is sick?"

"Yeah! And it doesn't seem like he's faking it; he ended up in the hospital." Karen paused, then suddenly added, "Do you think... maybe Everett broke up out of the blue because he's got some terminal illness? And he wanted to spare Dorothy the trouble, so he just asked for a breakup all of a sudden?"

It's just like a plot from a TV series!

After all, Everett had shown such deep love before, how could he just decide to leave Dorothy because of his mother's death?

If it was about some legal trouble that just came up, that would be understandable. But that had been dragging on for years, Everett should have been prepared for that!

Even when Dorothy asked to drop the charges, it was Everett who refused.

"No way, Dorothy went to the hospital, right? What did the doctor say?"

"Dorothy didn't tell me that part."

Kenneth smirked, "Then it's not what you're thinking. If Everett really had some serious illness, Dorothy would have known, especially after visiting the hospital."

"You're right."

"Let's not push her then. If she's not free today, I won't make it hard for her."
