The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 494

"I feel it, you know? Mr. Lopez and Ms. Sanchez are truly in love." Quincy was aware that affection could not vanquish the reality. But their love was so fierce, and their willingness to sacrifice for each other was rare indeed. It moved even Quincy.

"Love's easy to claim, but it doesn't stand a chance against the unforeseeable life ahead!" Jonathan had more to say, but a glance at Quincy made him hold back. His stance, however, remained firm. "Anyway, I won't approve."

Dorothy returned from Karen’s and was surprised to find Everett already propped up in his hospital bed!

Her face lit up with joy. "Did Dr. Quincy take you off the monitors in advance? Does this mean you're recovering well?"

Everett's handsome features tightened. He wanted to nod but didn't, and deftly changed the subject.

"I feel like I could get up and walk around."

"You can't do that! Not until Dr. Quincy says so." Dorothy approached Everett's bed to wipe him down with a towel. That was when she noticed something was wrong. "Your bandages - they look freshly changed. Are you bleeding again?"

"Dr. Quincy changed them. Maybe it was needed after removing the equipment." he said vaguely. Luckily Dorothy didn't dwell on the details as her thoughts preoccupied by his apparent improvement.

"Everett, just focus on healing. I can't bear feeling guilty about you anymore."

She was earnest, looking straight into Everett's eyes. His love was a burden she couldn't shake, weighing on her day and night.

"I don't want your guilt." Everett said with more severity and sincerity in his eyes. "You know what I want. Dorothy, you agreed to my father's terms, didn't you?"

Stunned, Dorothy looked at him. "He told you?"
