The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 951

Now, Dorothy finally understood the truth of her lack of jealousy in the past. That was simply because Everett never let other women get close enough for her to feel threatened.

Had it been any other time, Everett would have catered to her every whim without question. But today, he hesitated with his fork in hand, pulling at his lips slightly, "Babe, the most important thing is getting you healthy."

"So, is she the only doctor that can help?"

"As of now, yes."

Dorothy opened her mouth to argue but swallowed her words instead, muttering a resigned, "Oh."

Everett glanced at her, his brows knitting together as if sensing her unrest, "What's up? Did Quincy say something to you?"

"No! She hasn't reached out. The last call was just to find you because she couldn't reach you."

"From now on, don't go meeting Quincy on a whim. If she calls, don't pick up. Just let me know, okay?"

Dorothy felt something was off with his instructions.

"Why? It seems like... you don't like me talking to Dr. Quincy?"

"Dorothy." Everett's tone suddenly became serious, "Do you trust me?"

After a moment's hesitation, she nodded, "Yes, I've said I would."

"Then listen to me. That's all I need you to do."

Despite having myriad of questions in her heart, Dorothy nodded in agreement. She had promised to learn to trust him, to rely on him, and she intended to keep that promise.

...

After breakfast, Dorothy planned to visit Karen and her newborn at the hospital.
