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

Chapter 942

Jeffrey was on the verge of saying something more, but the words seemed inappropriate before they could even leave his lips. The

fact that Dorothy had been poisoned was undeniable, and pointing fingers wouldn't change that.

"Here. Lethandle Quincy," Jeffrey finally said, “I have my ways of making people talk. She'll give us the antidote finally."

Everett gave him a look, his gaze darkening in silent agreement.

"Just don't kill her before we get that antidote." He said.

"Don't worry. She won't die. | know when to stop."

Despite the doctors' best efforts, Karen ended up having to deliver prematurely.

The medical team had done everything they could to keep the baby inside for as long as possible, but with the fetal heart rate

showing signs of distress, they couldn't wait any longer.

Outside the maternity ward, Jeffrey looked nothing like a soon-to-be father. His legs were so weak he had to lean against the wall to

stay upright.

Serena, finally unable to contain her worry, had cried her eyes out and taken solace in Derek's comforting embrace.

"If anything happens to my daughter... | don't know what I'll do..." she choked.

"Stop talking nonsense. She'll be fine," Derek tried to reassure her, though the tension was always evident on his face.

Kenneth, standing a bit apart, couldn't bring himself to scold Jeffrey seeing him in such a state. But ever since his cousin got

involved with Jeffrey, it had been one problem after another. He was starting to question whether supporting their relationship had

been the right decision at all.

He sighed heavily as his phone buzzed.

Glancing down, he saw it was his girlfriend calling.

With a frown, he silenced the phone without answering.

When he looked up again, he locked eyes with Everett. The moment they locked eyes, they could feel the rivalry from the other

side.

But was Kenneth himself considered as Everett's rival? He didn't even seem to qualify.

Dorothy stood quietly by Everett's side, her hand in his, leaning against him in a way Kenneth had never experienced.

"It's a girl! A beautiful baby girl!" The news cbursting out of the operating room, sending a ripple of relief through everyone.

Jeffrey practically lunged forward and grabbed the doctor's wrist, "And my wife? How is she?"

The doctor, taken aback by his intensity, paused before responding, "She's had a significant hemorrhage, but we've stabilized her.

She needs observation."

"You're sure she's out of danger?"

"Yes, she's out of danger now. You can relax."

Hearing this, Jeffrey, a man over six feet tall, collapsed to the floor in relief.

Everett moved to help him up, but Jeffrey gestured for a moment to collect himself. "Just givea second. I'll be okay." He said.

He could finally breathe again...

When the doctor returned inside, it wasn't long before the baby was brought out.

The sound of her cries instantly brought tears to Jeffrey's eyes, "My daughter! Everett, did you hear? My daughter is here! Karen

gavea daughter!"

Everett clapped him on the shoulder, turning to see Dorothy crying even harder.

"She's finally here..." she murmured.

He wrapped Dorothy in his arms, "The doctor said she's okay. No more tears."

"I, I just can't help it. I'm just so happy," Dorothy managed between sobs as Everett gently wiped her tears away and said, "I'm

happy for them too."
