The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Chapter 1043

From the start, countless folks urged Dorothy to turn a blind eye, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Quincy felt that the way Dorothy was now being treated was all par for the course. But still... He couldn't shake off the thought that maybe Everett was intentionally giving Dorothy the cold shoulder. Dorothy, unaware of the reasons behind it all, felt a sting in her heart at Quincy's words. But was it so wrong for her to seek justice for her mother, to whom she owed her life? Was it not the duty of a child to uncover the truth behind their mother's tragic death?

"Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Lopez could understand and stand by you before because he hadn't felt the loss of a mother firsthand! Now that he has, it's natural for his attitude to change. What do you expect me to do about it?"

"Then don't you dare try to take my place."

"Why would I want to take your place?" Quincy retorted. "I will never be anyone's replacement."

All this trouble she was stirring up wasn't about becoming another person's stand-in for Everett. Dorothy was at a loss for words and hung up. She put her phone aside, slumped against the couch, her mind a tangled mess, not knowing where to start. Was it really a mistake to seek justice for Bella? Was Everett's sudden change truly because he couldn't accept his mother's passing? Countless questions flooded her mind, almost driving her to the brink of despair.

"No, I can't just take Quincy's word for it." Dorothy suddenly sat upright. "I have to trust Everett, I have to believe in him... Yes, that's right..." He wouldn't just abandon her; he was just overwhelmed with grief.

In the hospital, Karen refused to leave, standing vigil at the door. If she didn't leave, how could Jeffrey feel at ease to go? Sienna had come several times, only to be dragged away each time, because all she did was cry and lash out at anyone in sight, including Karen, and even Derek Miller and Serena didn't escape her wrath.

Finally, a doctor came out. "Family of Kenneth."

"That's me!" Karen, being the closest, rushed forward first.

"Thankfully, with the timely arrival of the specialist, we managed to save the patient's legs!"

Karen's eyes went wide, and it took her a moment to process the news. "Thank goodness, Karen, thank goodness!" Serena exclaimed, clapping and crying, "Quick, call my sister! Kenneth doesn't need an amputation!"

The doctor understood their reaction and breathed a sigh of relief himself. "However, the patient's condition might affect his walking to some extent, possibly resulting in a limp, depending on his recovery." "Thank you, doctor!"

Watching the doctor go back in, Karen looked up at Jeffrey, "Did I just hallucinate, or am I dreaming? Kenneth is really okay?"

Jeffrey tapped her forehead lightly. "Does it hurt?"

"Yes!"

"Then you're not dreaming!" Jeffrey smirked, "See, I told you it would be alright! I brought in the best doctor."

Karen hugged him tightly, showering his face with kisses. "Thank you! Really, thank you! Jeffrey, I'm thanking you on behalf of Kenneth!"

"Your cousin is my cousin, how could I not help?"

After a moment of joy, Karen quickly pulled out her phone, "I need to tell Dorothy, or she'll definitely blame herself! You don't know her; Dorothy is very thoughtful and tends to overthink."
