The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 466

"Alright, just tell him Mommy turned into a butterfly and flew away!"

Karen rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna lay low for a bit then. When Kenneth gets here, you tell him I've turned into a butterfly alongside your mom and fluttered off too!"

"Why can't you take me with you?"

Langston clutched at the hem of Karen's sweater. "Aunt Karen, don't leave me behind!"

"I've got my own storm to weather, bud."

Karen lingered in the hospital room, mustering up the courage to call Kenneth.

As soon as he answered, he blurted out, "Is something up with Dorothy?"

"Uh... she's fine, really... happy!"

"Great, I'll freshen up and head over to the hospital to switch with you. Got any cravings? I can bring something by." Kenneth's relief was palpable, his voice noticeably lighter.

Karen was at a loss for words. And her hesitation didn't go unnoticed.

"What's wrong?"

"Bro... Dorothy, she's not at the hospital anymore." Karen braced herself after the confession. "She's gone to find Everett."

"What did you say?!"

"It was Langston! He must've told her where Everett was!" Karen threw the kid under the bus without a second thought!

After all, he was the one who stirred up trouble!

Langston's eyes widened. "Aunt Karen! Are you seriously doing this?"

"Yep, stop talking!"

Kenneth had no patience for their antics. After hanging up, he rushed to the hospital.

Karen had been trying not to laugh, and finally managed to say, "Langston, you sure are your mother's son!"

With Langston's help, Dorothy made a beeline for Everett's location.

Unable to stand, she traveled in a wheelchair.

She knew that even upon arriving, encountering Everett wouldn't be easy. But Dorothy was driven by a single belief— She had to go!

No matter how daunting the journey, she needed to be by Everett's side.

The plane touched down as scheduled, and Dorothy sent Langston a message to let him know she was safe before exiting the airport.

She was about to hail a cab when her phone rang.

Looking down, she saw it was a call from Lane.
