The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 850

The doctor had barely stepped out when he was suddenly met with an anxious Jeffrey.

“I am! I am her husband! How’s Karen doing?”

The doctor glanced at him. “The patient is stable for now, and the bleeding has stopped.”

Dorothy chimed in with urgency, “And the baby?”

“The baby is safe for the moment, but… it's going to need her cooperation. She should stay in bed until the birth, keep up with regular check-ups, and maintain a happy disposition. No more emotional roller coasters.”

Hearing the baby was safe brought a wave of relief over Dorothy.

Jeffrey’s mind was fixated on Karen as he pressed on, “Where is she? When can she come out?”

“She’ll be wheeled out shortly, don’t worry.”

With that, the doctor returned to the emergency room.

Jeffrey stood rooted to the spot, eyes peeled for the moment Karen would emerge.

Behind him, Dorothy let out a sigh. Everett gently squeezed her hand.

“The doctor said it’s all right.”

“Yeah.”

“You haven’t eaten anything since you woke up. I'll get someone to bring over some food,” Everett said, still mindful of her stomach issues.

Dorothy shook her head. “I can’t eat anything right now. I’ll wait until I see Karen.”

“No way. I don’t want you getting sick before Karen comes out.” Everett was adamant.

“If you don’t feel like eating, at least drink some milk.”

“Okay then.” Dorothy didn’t dare refuse again.

After a while, Karen was finally wheeled out of the emergency room.

Dorothy felt helpless and turned to Everett with a pleading look.

He stepped forward and took hold of Jeffrey’s wrist. “Jeffrey, come with me for a moment.”

“But...”

“Aren’t you listening to me either?”

After Everett spoke, Jeffrey reluctantly bowed his head and followed him out of the room.

With the door closed, Dorothy spoke softly, “Okay, you can stop hiding now. The air’s not good under there, and he’s gone.”

Karen finally emerged from under the blanket upon hearing that.

“Dorothy... with his temper, his impulse, and his resorting to violence... sometimes I really feel like I can’t spend my life with him.”

“Jeffrey just cares about you too much; he can’t stand the thought of any other man being involved with you.”
