The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1282

"…I can't help but feel guilty."

Dorothy was getting better, but human nature, formed over so many years, isn't so easily cast aside.

Watching Everett cause such a ruckus, risking the company's reputation for this antidote, weighed heavily on her.

"Dorothy, stop worrying and just stay with me."

He wanted her, and nothing else.

"Okay."

In a moment of passion, Everett leaned down and kissed her tenderly.

Dorothy wrapped her arms around his waist, tilting her head back to meet his intense kiss.

Right in the midst of their embrace…

The hospital room door suddenly swung open!

"I thought I'd drop by to see them today, had to dress up in disguise and all—ugh!" Jeffrey finished speaking, he and Karen froze in place.

It wasn't anything too risqué, but still, stumbling upon such an intimate moment was rare.

"Cough, I didn't see anything, carry on, carry on!"

Karen was the first to recover, pulling Jeffrey to leave.

Dorothy, face flushed, pushed Everett away, "Hey, you guys don't have to leave!"

If they just turned around and left, it would seem as though she and Everett were about to do something scandalous under broad daylight...

"It's fine, we're all friends here, no harm in seeing!" Jeffrey was surprisingly chill about it, pulling his wife in and chuckling, "Come on, we've all been there, right?"

Everett knew what his friend was like. His handsome face remained calm as he glanced over, as if he wasn't the protagonist of that deeply passionate kiss moments ago.
