The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1227

“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.
