The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Chapter 940

"You're trying to blackmail me with this." He said.

"Mr. Lopez, I think you'd better hurry up and get that antidote to Ms. Sanchez, don't you think?" Quincy pointed at the box, "Otherwise, once Ms. Sanchez falls into a deep coma, it might be too late to bring her back."

Everett's hands were clenched into fists. Despite all his calculations, he hadn't considered this hidden threat by Dorothy's side.

Especially since Dorothy had assured him that Quincy was the last person she'd suspect! That showed how much trust Dorothy placed in Quincy. And gaining Dorothy's trust had been his desire for the longest time.

Everett didn't say anything more. After pausing for a few seconds, he took the antidote and left.

On the way back to the hospital, Kevin hesitated before cautiously speaking up, "Mr. Lopez, should we get this antidote tested? Just in case..."

"She wouldn't dare put Dorothy in danger." Everett said.

Now, Quincy had bound herself and Dorothy together. If he wanted to rid himself of her, he would inevitably have to give up on Dorothy as well.

Quincy was betting on the fact that he couldn't possibly abandon Dorothy.

...

After taking the antidote, it wasn't long before Dorothy woke up.

Further blood tests showed she was almost back to normal. All previous anomalies had vanished, leaving the doctors bewildered and asking what kind of medicine she had taken.

"How's Karen doing?" The moment Dorothy woke up, she immediately asked about Karen.

"She's fine. Jeffrey's by her side, so nothing will happen," Everett said as he gently patted her back, "Worry about yourself first."

"Me?"

Everett was about to tell her that Quincy was the one who had poisoned her, but he held himself back at the last moment.

Dorothy was already dealing with depression. Knowing that someone she trusted was the one who had poisoned her, and that Quincy was using this to blackmail Everett, might just crush her with guilt.

He couldn't do that! Reflecting on the situation, Everett felt nothing but regret.

Why hadn't he kept Dorothy by his side at all times? Why had he actually left when she asked him to, even in anger?

After badgering her for all these years, why couldn't he have just do it a bit longer?

"Okay. You need to focus on getting better, okay?" he required.

"But I've already woken up. I don't feel the slightest bit unwell," Dorothy said, smiling at him and shaking his hand. "Can you... take me to see Karen?"

She was always worried.

"Kenneth and her parents are there, and so is Jeffrey. She'll be fine."

"Just one look," Dorothy blinked and playfully reached out her hand to his, "And I promise I'll just greet Kenneth and won't talk to him much, okay?"

Everett found himself both helpless and amused. She still thought he didn't want her to go because of Kenneth. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I just can't say no to you." Holding her hand, Everett bent down and picked her up in his arms.

Dorothy let out a small cry, then found herself securely in his embrace, "Everett! You're not planning to carry me there, are you?"

"If you're worried about me getting jealous, isn't this the perfect way to show there's nothing to worry about?"

"But, what about Karen's parents? They're there too!"

Upon hearing this, Dorothy caught the smile tugging at Everett's lips. He was doing this on purpose.
