The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Chapter 1050

It was quite the surprise.

Karen caught Dorothy's glance lingering on Jeffrey and didn't think much of it before blurting out, "I don't know what's gotten into him. The moment he heard you were coming over, he just had to be here! I told him to stay home with our daughter, but he wouldn't have it."

Dorothy took it as Jeffrey being a clingy husband and chuckled, "He just can't stand being away from you."

Karen rolled her eyes and huffed, tacitly agreeing.

In that hospital room, only Kenneth, lying on the bed, truly understood Jeffrey's intentions.

The second he heard Dorothy was coming, he rushed to the hospital. And why? Clearly, someone had asked him to.

"Kenneth, how are you feeling?" Dorothy hadn't forgotten her main reason for visiting.

"I'm okay, not in pain, just feeling weak and unable to walk," Kenneth responded with a gentle and warm smile. He always had the utmost patience and a smile for Dorothy.

"That's good, at least you got to keep your leg and didn't need an amputation."

"Yeah," Kenneth nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Dorothy, I heard... my mom, she..."

He trailed off, his head hanging low with guilt. Kenneth had even argued with his mother over this!

Dorothy knew what he meant and quickly said, "Your mom was just panicking, not knowing how to vent her frustration. It's okay, I don't mind."

"I didn't expect her to lash out at you! Don't worry, I've made it clear to her that none of this is your fault; it was all just me being foolish."

Kenneth was reluctant to admit his own failures, so he hadn't discussed the details about Dorothy with his parents, leading to a huge misunderstanding.

Seeing the two getting along so well, Jeffrey became restless. He was on a mission!

"Man, you weren't there to see it! You should have seen how hard your mom slapped Dorothy, it was loud!" he exclaimed.

Karen turned to glare at him.

What could Jeffrey do? He doubled down, despite his conscience, "Dorothy's face swelled up right after. It looked so painful!" "Jeffrey!" Karen couldn't take it anymore and snapped at him.

Her words, more than Jeffrey's, cemented the story. Kenneth's face turned a mixture of green and white. "Really? Dorothy..."

"It's not true! It didn't hurt," Dorothy didn't

Karen was so furious she wanted to throw him out!

"Jeffrey, come here."

"No, I can't my leg hurts, I'm feeling dizzy!" Jeffrey decided to go all in pretending to be dizzy and plopping down on a chair, refusing to get up.

How could he leave? Wouldn't that give Kenneth and Dorothy a chance to be alone? If Everett found out, there would be hell to pay. "Jeffrey!"

"How can I not?" Kenneth lowered his gaze, sighing, "Dorothy... I've made up my mind. I'm breaking up with Eleanor." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
