The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 554

"Hmm?" Quincy blinked while a hint of confusion crossed his face, "I'm not a pediatrician, so I don't have much to do with kids. And with my busy schedule, there's hardly any time for parties or social events. But you know, I do have a soft spot for well-behaved kids."

She flopped down on the other end of the park bench, eyeing Dorothy curiously, "So why the sudden interest in my thoughts on children?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just think someone with your patience would be great with the little ones."

"As a doctor, you've gotta have patience, right? If a patient is feeling ill or hurt, they're naturally in a bad mood. If I were to add to that by being grumpy or short-tempered, it could mess with their healing vibes!"

It was clear to Dorothy that Quincy truly loved her job as a doctor.

She wasn't just going through the motions for a paycheck.

Thinking it over, with her social standing and family background, if she didn't have a genuine

passion for medicine, she could have picked a much easier path. Choosing the grueling life of a

doctor must be out of love for the profession.

Quincy's life was surely different from her own. She had to deal with life's compromises, unable to follow her heart's desires.

"So, Dr. Quincy, have you never fallen for someone? I mean, romantically?"

Dorothy felt a bit presumptuous asking such a personal question, given they weren't exactly close. She hesitated before speaking, but her curiosity won out in the end.

Quincy pondered for a moment before replying, "I guess there's been one or two, but it never went anywhere. Plus, I wasn't much of a believer in love before."

"And what's your type?" prodded Dorothy.

Quincy's face twisted with complexity, and then she turned to Dorothy, saying, "Someone like Mr. Lopez, I suppose."
