Jayden put away the medical kit and grabbed his car keys before heading downstairs. Camilla walked along the streets at night, the scent of the ointment on her face lingering in the air. It provided some relief to the pain but didn't make her feel any better. Her heart felt as if it had frozen over. It became nothing but an empty husk, numb to any emotions that once resided within. Could she ever stop loving him? How could one fall out of love that easily? After four years of college and one year of working at the research institute, Camilla's love for Jayden had become a part of her. To stop loving him would mean losing a part of her. Camilla smiled bitterly. Just then, a car stopped beside her, and a familiar voice sounded, "Hello?"When Harper saw Camilla, a sense of familiarity crept over him. He tried to recall where he had seen her before and suddenly remembered. He had met this woman at the bar back in Londsville.Camilla turned around wordlessly and saw Harper.
Austin frowned at Jayden, only to see him watching the swaying crowd on the dance floor with great enthusiasm.Austin widened his eyes in shock as he asked, "Did you have a change of heart, Mr. Moore?"Jayden smiled as he replied, "They are passionate and unrestrained, willing to do anything for temporary pleasure.""Are you interested in giving it a try?" The corners of Austin's mouth twitched.Jayden turned to him and remarked, "Don't you find it interesting? No responsibilities, no thoughts. You do everything just because it's fun."Austin's breath hitched, and he took a sip of his drink. "Have you taken a fancy to someone? Whoever it is, she's in trouble."Jayden chuckled, "I just thought this type of interaction wasn't as bad as I thought it was."Austin fell silent.He was looking at Jayden as if he had grown an extra head.There was no way around it. Jayden's transformation was too drastic!He used to be indifferent and uninterested in romance. Yet here he was, pursuin
Austin smiled faintly as he said, "Don't be so nervous. We were colleagues, after all."Camilla merely returned a silent stare.Having spent a long time together, Austin was aware of Camilla's personality. He knew she was a reserved person and was slow to open up to others, so he didn't take offense to it. He simply said, "What do you want to eat? I haven't had lunch either. Let's eat together."Camilla replied coldly, "Noodles."Austin nodded, "Sounds good. I'll have a bowl too."He turned to the waiter and gave their orders before looking back at Camilla. "You heard about Jayden, right?"Camilla was surprised. "You mean his injury?"Austin nodded. "Seems like you still care about him. We went racing last night. But he had been drinking. As a result, he crashed into the guardrail. He almost fell off the cliff and even passed out on the spot."Camilla's hands tightened into fists. "Oh."Austin was surprised by her lack of response. "Isn't Jayden your teacher? Why do you look
Camilla stared at Kara, who was blocking her path with her usual cold indifference. Her voice was devoid of any warmth. "Haven't those dead mice taught you any lesson at all? How dare you show up in front of me again."Kara stiffened at this, and her resentment towards Camilla grew stronger. She tilted her chin proudly, saying, "You're here to visit Mr. Moore, right? Well, news flash! Mr. Moore doesn't want to see you. Your presence will only cause trouble for him."Camilla paused before she coldly replied, "Whether he wants to see me or not is not for you to decide."With that, she pushed Kara aside and walked towards the hospital.There were a lot of people in the hospital lobby. When Camilla pushed Kara aside, the latter's body stumbled back, and she nearly fell. Their commotion caught the attention of onlookers.Kara felt embarrassed and grabbed Camilla's hand. "Stop right there! You can't visit Mr. Moore. He doesn't want you around!""Let go," Camilla hissed as she coldly st
"I've already told you. You can't go in. Do you really think you're THAT special?" Kara crossed her arms and mocked Camilla disdainfully.Camilla turned to look at her and asked, "What do I have to do for you to let me in?"Kara burst into laughter. "Are you actually begging me? Camilla, is this how you beg for help?"Camilla stared at her coldly as she retorted, "What makes you think I'm begging you?""What did you say?" Kara thought Camilla must have gone crazy. She widened her eyes at Camilla in anger. "You won't be able to go in unless you beg me, Camilla. Are you sure you want to go against me?"Camilla calmly replied, "The director has always been the one who sets the hospital regulations. Since when can a mere nurse freely modify them? I think I should file a complaint."She took out her phone and called the director's number that was written on the wall.Kara was taken aback by this. "Filing a complaint won't do you any good. The director won't bother with such trivial m
Camilla nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Hello, that's me."The middle-aged man extended his hand to Camilla as he greeted, "Hello, Ms. West. I am the director of this hospital. You can call me Director Collins.""Nice to meet you, Director Collins." Camilla shook his hand politely.Stamford Collins smiled warmly. "Ms. West, I understand your situation and came to resolve the issue. Are you able to point out which nurse verbally insulted you?"Camilla was surprised by his response. "It won't be a problem."She accompanied Stamford and went directly to the triage desk. She pointed at one of the nurses. "She was the one who had been rude to me."The nurse looked bewildered. "What are you doing?"Stamford barked seriously, "Who gave you the right to change the hospital's rules?"The nurse froze. She recognized who Stamford was and gave Kara a pale look.Kara was stunned. She wasn't expecting the director to actually come personally. She gawked at Camilla in disbelief, thinking
The head nurse turned and walked away.However, Kara was still glaring at Camilla's retreating figure as she left with the director. Kara thought to herself, "It's not fair! Why is she the one who caught Jayden's attention? Jayden is the noble second son of the Moore family! And Camilla? She's just a nobody! She doesn't deserve Jayden!"Kara clenched her fists tightly by her side. Camilla can't be Jayden's woman. She wouldn't allow it! Jayden was hers and hers alone!… Outside the ward.Stamford smiled at Camilla and said, "This is Mr. Moore's ward, Ms. West. Please, go on in."Camilla nodded and asked, "Why are you helping me?"The director hesitated briefly before answering, "It was an order from the Miss. She ordered us to treat you with the utmost respect whenever you're around and that I must personally receive you. Not to mention, any request you have must be fulfilled unconditionally.""The Miss?" Those two words echoed in Camilla's mind. This hospital belonged to M
"You came just to take care of me?" Jayden stared deep into Camilla's eyes as if trying to read her mind. Camilla was caught off guard by his question. "What do you mean?"The corners of Jayden's lips quirked upwards as he stated, "You're obsessed with money. You must have some ulterior motive in taking care of me, right? I might need to stay in the hospital for a week. How much will it cost for you to take care of me for a week?"Camilla turned pale instantly. She was still inches away from him and could feel his gentle breath brushing against her face. His handsome face was right in front of her.She looked at him in disbelief, the colors gradually draining from her face. "Is that how you view me, Jayden?"Jayden cocked a brow and castigated her. "How else am I supposed to view you? You initially approached me for money, didn't you?"Camilla pressed her lips tightly together and pulled her hand away. She turned, preparing to leave. Jayden's low and gentle voice rang out, "
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
