The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 578

"But..."

"Karen, I've prepared for the worst, but Abigail and Langston's life has just begun! Only with Everett can they have a life of ease and comfort."

Karen was well aware of the hardships of this path. As a friend, she could only offer as much help as possible.

The day Dorothy returned from her trip to Swevia Country, she got up early to pack her bags.

Quincy came over to change Everett's bandages and left some extra with strict instructions to remind him to change them during the trip back.

She didn't advise Everett to travel at that moment because his wounds hadn't fully healed, but he was not the kind to heed a doctor's advice.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him and try to avoid aggravating the injury."

"Mhm," Quincy nodded, seemingly with more to say. But in the end, she just waved her hand, "See you in a week!"

Because of his presence, things were awkward!
