The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 456

"If it weren't for her, Everett would never be in this mess! He would have already married Heather and wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed! Dorothy, you give me back my son, you hear me!"

Amanda was sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath, her body slumped to the floor in defeat.

She had always been strong, always been proud. But facing her son's uncertain fate in her twilight years was more than she could bear.

It was simply too cruel!

Jonathan wrapped his arms around his wife, trying to offer some comfort, then frowned at Dorothy who was struggling to get up from the ground.

"Get out, you're not welcome here! I've spared you for the sake of the children you bore for the Lopez family, and that's mercy enough! If you don't leave now, I swear..."

"I'm not going anywhere." Dorothy had come prepared for anything, "If Everett dies, I won't live without him."

The conviction in her eyes was unmistakable.

Jonathan found himself believing her without a trace of doubt.

She was capable of it.

But that didn't mean the Lopez family would ever accept her as a daughter-in-law!

He knew all too well that his wife would never accept Dorothy, not to mention the matter with Dorothy's mother.

Once the truth came out, there could be no happy ending!

"Then go die! Hurry up and die!" Amanda was beyond reason, attempting to break free from her husband's hold to attack Dorothy again!

But Dorothy, though in a pitiful state on the floor, kept her gaze fixed on the red light above the emergency room door.

The light was still on.

That meant Everett was still alive, still fighting.
