The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 214

Everett's car was headed straight for headquarters when his father, Jonathan, called him shortly after Kevin's call.

"Where are you?"

"On my way to the office."

"Could you swing by the hospital first? Your mother is back in the ICU!"

Everett frowned and slammed on the brakes. "Haven't you guys had enough? My mom is perfectly fine, isn't she?"

He had begun to suspect. When they were in the hospital, his father didn't seem too worried. It felt like he was more focused on Everett.

Everett had seen his father when his mother's life was really hanging by a thread, so he couldn't fool him.

Jonathan sighed on the other end. "This time it's serious, so you better hurry! I can video call you if that's what it takes."

Everett fell silent.

Given what his father had just said, Everett figured it must be true.

But he still hesitated for a moment before responding softly and hanging up the phone.

When he arrived at the hospital, sure enough, his father was pacing anxiously outside the emergency room door.

Seeing his son arrive, Jonathan hurried over to him. "Everett, your mom's condition is really critical this time. I watched her struggle for breath, and then she just passed out!"

"You think if we leave, you can be with Dorothy? Your mother is determined; no one can stop her from doing what she wants! Even if I wanted to stay out of it, I have to help her because of her health condition! Everett, I don't want to force you, but there's no negotiation on this. Be with Heather; if your mother hears that you’ve accepted Heather, she'll probably get better."

"Dad." Everett suddenly interrupted him and looked him in the eyes. "Would you divorce my mom and remarry if I asked you to?"

Jonathan was stunned. "This... How can our situation be compared to yours? We've been married with children for so many years!"

"There's no difference." Everett lowered his gaze. "You love my mom and spoil her, and I love Dorothy too, very much. There's no difference between us."

He initially thought he would find a way to resolve this issue, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

After seeing his son's dejected look, Jonathan seemed to have an epiphany. He raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner and asked, "Did Dorothy break up with you?"
