The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1266

He knew that if anyone had a bead on Lane's whereabouts, it would be Jeffrey!

Karen furrowed her brows, confusion written all over her face. "What are you planning to do?"

If he were still able-bodied, perhaps he could lend a hand. But now, struggling even to walk, she couldn't fathom why Kenneth would need Lane's location.

"Just do it, no questions asked," Kenneth pressed, his lips a thin line. "If you want Dorothy to have another shot at getting the antidote sooner, then help me."

Hearing this, Karen immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright! Maybe an extra pair of hands will indeed get us that antidote sooner."

...

Dorothy tried calling Everett multiple times, but no one answered.

The more he didn't pick up, the more anxious she became.

Fortunately, Jeffrey soon got back to her. "Don't worry, I've got Everett under my watch. He won't do anything foolish!"

"Let me talk to him! I need to discuss something with him."

"Okay."

In the background, Dorothy could hear Jeffrey whispering to Everett, "It's Dorothy's call. She needs to speak with you, might be about Lane."

As time ticked by, and Dorothy was about to make her way to them herself, Everett's voice finally came through.

"Dorothy."

Hearing his voice, Dorothy's anxious heart settled a bit.

"Stay calm. Lane must have the antidote! He knows I've been poisoned."

"…Are you sure?" Everett, like Karen, worried this was just something Dorothy said to keep them calm.
