The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 313

Everett decided that he would just be an observer. He would stay clear of any involvement.

...

At the hospital, the outpatient department was already closed for the day. Emmett carried Natalia straight into the emergency room to find a doctor.

Dorothy trailed behind, handling the registration and payment.

Thank goodness he was here. Dorothy couldn't manage all of this on her own.

After the doctor examined Natalia, it was confirmed that she was suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Thankfully, it wasn't severe, but she still needed hydration therapy.

After all the commotion, it was close to midnight when Natalia finally got her IV drip started.

As she dozed off on the hospital bed, Emmett sat by her side, closely watching the IV drip.

"Ms. Sanchez, why don't you head back? I've got everything under control here. Once she's done with the drip, we'll head back."

"No worries. It's not convenient for you to be here, either. After all, she's a girl. If she needs to use the restroom, you can't accompany her." Dorothy was a bit tired but insisted on staying until her assistant was finished with her IV.

The doctor suggested Natalia be monitored overnight, and if all went well, she could leave the next day.

"Right." Emmett dared not look at Dorothy too much. He forced himself to look away.

He had only recently joined East Star Enterprises, so he had only seen Dorothy a few times in meeting rooms or similar settings.

After seeing her up close now, it felt like something inside his chest was running wild. It was threatening to burst out at any moment.

"You've had a long flight today. Why don't you go back to the hotel and rest?"

"If I leave, won't Ms. Sanchez be alone? It's late at night. It's not safe for a girl."

The doctor had said Natalia wouldn't need any supervision and could leave on her own if she felt better tomorrow, so they hadn't arranged a room with an extra bed for Dorothy.

"I'm familiar with Havenbrook City. I'll be fine."

He didn't delve into Dorothy's personal life, so he didn't know she was married.

"Yes, he loves me very much."

Just as Dorothy finished speaking, her phone rang with a message.

She thought it might be Lane, but when she looked at the screen, it was the driver from Everglow City.

What could he want at this hour?

[Sorry to disturb you. I just arrived in Havenbrook City and got lost. Could you give me directions?]

Dorothy was taken aback and quickly called him back. She then got up and walked outside the ward.

The hospital corridor seemed endless in the deep of the night.

It was deserted and smelled strongly of disinfectant.
