The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 65

After Heather moved back to the country, she stayed in a fancy neighborhood not far from Bay Residence.

That was initially her parents' villa, but they had moved abroad and left it to her.

The Lopez family had always seen her as their future daughter-in-law.

Everett parked the car in front of the villa and called Heather, "Come out. I'm at the door."

"Sorry, could you... could you come in and carry me out? I'm in so much pain I can't stand up."

"That bad?" He furrowed his eyebrows, "I'm going to call 911 then, and let them come directly."

Heather paused for a moment before saying, "No need. It's just appendicitis. I'll rest for a bit then come out. Wait for me."

"Okay."

Everett didn't leave the car, thinking it wouldn't have looked good for him to meet Heather alone late at night. So, he brought Jeffrey along to the hospital.

Jeffrey immediately agreed to come along when he heard Heather was sick.

Soon, Heather, pale as a ghost, walked out of the villa.

She got in the passenger seat and looked at Everett, who seemed to want to say something but didn't. "Buckle up, Jeffrey has already contacted the hospital. If it's an emergency, you could have surgery tonight."

"Thank you..."

Heather tugged at her bloodless lips and leaned back in the seat.

In the car, it was just the two of them. A slight turn of her head and she could see his deeply handsome side profile.

Heather still couldn't bear to say Dorothy's name, so she referred to her as "she".

Maybe it was because of the pain, her voice was weak, but she was obviously concerned for Everett.

"That's why Jeffrey will take care of you later."

Hearing about her situation, and considering that he lived close by, Everett decided to help.

After all, ever since Heather moved back, she'd been constantly busy with company matters. He even saw that she was online in the company's internal software just now. It wouldn't have been right to refuse her.

"Oh, then you should have brought her along earlier so she doesn't get the wrong idea."

"She wasn't feeling well today." Everett figured that Dorothy probably wouldn't have wanted anyone to see her face swollen from a slap.
