The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1238

Others she might not know well, but Everett, she knew like the back of her hand.

If it came down to trading his life for hers right now, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Everett squeezed her hand, his voice deep with a hint of sorrow, "Without me, none of this would have happened to you. I owe you."

"You don't owe me anything. Without you, I would have lost so much more."

Dorothy had come to terms with it all.

She figured that as long as there was light at the end of the tunnel, what did it matter how bitter the journey was? If you could endure it, wouldn't the sweetness that followed be all the more rewarding?

Soon, Jeffrey emerged, carrying Karen in his arms.

Dorothy was taken aback, "What happened? Why is she being carried?"

"She said her legs gave out, scared stiff," Jeffrey explained, a touch of embarrassment in his voice.

"..."

Everett drove them home, and it was almost time for him to meet with Quincy.

"Karen's a bit shaken up. I'll stay here with her. You go on and do what you need to. We can touch base after you're done."

"Alright."

Watching Everett drive off, Karen finally asked, "Where's he off to? Meeting Quincy?"

"Yeah."

"And you're okay with these meetings?"

Dorothy smiled, "My hero's out there figuring out how to save me. Why would I mind?"

She was too busy feeling grateful for his efforts.
