The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 638

Which mother didn’t love her daughter?

Bella was no exception.

But, wounded by her past, Bella's protective instincts for Dorothy had reached an obsessive level- a love so fierce she would rather perish than see her daughter trapped in a loveless marriage, fearing that Dorothy would end up in a situation similar to her own. How could this not be love?

It was just that Bella wasn't one to mince words.

Every time she spoke, it seemed like scolding was the only way to make her daughter learn and truly understand.

"Mom, do you get lonely down there all by yourself?"

Dorothy ran her fingers over the gravestone, tears welling up in her eyes. "Don't worry, I'll ensure the one responsible for your death joins you soon. I've thought it over – if justice prevails, I can forgive myself, move on, and start anew. But if not, I... I have another path to take."

In any case, those who had wronged her mother would not get away with it!

Determination and resolution shone in Dorothy's eyes.

Bella not only gave birth to Dorothy but also raised her. There was no way Dorothy would let the sins be buried and allow the culprits to gloat over their deeds!

Kenneth had been waiting quietly at the cemetery’s edge.

The groundskeepers all knew him, waving as they passed, "Mr. Nelson, visiting your mother-in-law again, I see!"

He'd respond with a smile, offering no explanations or denials.

After a long wait, he saw Dorothy descending from the hill.

"Are your legs numb?"

He noticed Dorothy was walking a bit awkwardly.

She nodded, "Yeah, I talked with my mom a bit too long, forgot to shift my stance."

"Let me help you so you don’t fall."

The cemetery was atop a hill, and the path down was always a slope.

Dorothy initially waved off the offer, but after a few steps, she twisted her ankle.
