The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 507

“Zip it, you've got no right to talk about my mom!”

“Who are you yelling at?” Maxton had lost his patience too. “If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find Heather, do you think I'd bother calling you? Every time you open your mouth, it’s either complaining about me or blaming your sister. She’s been singing your praises to me, trying to mend fences between us, and yet you're always at her throat!”

Dorothy took a deep breath to keep from exploding with anger.

“She's been speaking well of me? And what good has that done? Did it make our relationship any better?”

She could see right through Heather's little games. Compliments laced with subtle digs were her specialty.

“That's because you're so damn stubborn. What's that got to do with your sister? You're really spoiled by your mom!”

“Then why didn’t you raise me? Why weren’t you around when I was a kid, huh? Where were you when I needed money? Did you care about what I wore or ate?”

“How did I not? It was your mom who told me to stay away!”

Dorothy laughed sarcastically, “Well, Heather must really be your flesh and blood. You both have a talent for making excuses. If you’re looking for Heather, well, you’ve got the wrong person. And you better hope I don’t find her!”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll see to it that your baby daughter ends up behind bars. I swear I will!”

With that, she hung up and immediately blocked Maxton’s number.

People like him shouldn’t even be in her orbit; they were just an eyesore.

Despite her harsh words, Dorothy couldn’t help but smirk as she put her phone back in her pocket.

“Yeah,” she nodded. She was suddenly unsure how to face Quincy so she just managed a tight smile, “Dr. Quincy, how is he doing?”

“He’s stable and got no major issues! But you really need to keep an eye on him. Mr. Lopez looks so stoic and quiet, but he’s a handful when left alone. I don’t get it. The moment he’s out of my sight, his wound is bound to bleed!”

Dorothy knew the reason behind that all too well. She cleared her throat, “I’ll take good care of him.”

“That’s good to hear. I’ll head back to my office then. Don’t forget to come by later for the medication application,” Quincy said warmly and patted Dorothy's shoulder before leaving.

As the door closed behind Quincy, Everett spoke in a low voice, “What were you thinking about when you were standing still at the door?”

“No, nothing at all! Did you sort out the company stuff? I can keep reading the contracts to you.”

“Are you jealous of that female doctor?” Everett raised an eyebrow. “If that's the case, I can always get a male doctor instead.”
