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, "
Camilla completely ignored Kara. She spun around and headed for the train station. However, Kara persisted. "What are you trying to achieve, Camilla? You're better off with someone else. You're simply not worthy of Mr. Moore."Camilla turned around abruptly, her icy gaze fixed on Kara. "Are you done?"Kara stiffened. "You …""If you keep on babbling, I'll shut your mouth for you. Feel free to test me," Camilla spoke coldly. With that, she turned around and walked away briskly.She didn't have the patience to deal with Kara right now. She needed some peace and quiet. She needed to seriously consider her relationship with Jayden. Seeking him out had been a mistake. Emotions shouldn't be her main driving force in life.Since she couldn't simply brush off her feelings for Jayden, she decided to bury them instead. Right now, her younger brother needed money for treatment, and she had to repay Josephine's debt.Camilla sat on the train, her gaze lowered, lost in her thoughts.A v
Camilla bumped into Kara when she returned to the research institute, but neither of them mentioned what happened at the hospital. Camilla didn't want to bring it up, while Kara was afraid of her.Meanwhile, Kara was surrounded by several girls who were asking about Jayden's well-being."Kara, didn't you say you were going to take care of Mr. Moore? Why are you back so early?" One of the girls asked in confusion.Kara's face fell, and she grew defensive. "Do you have any idea who Mr. Moore is? Of course, the Moore family would hire professional caretakers to look after him. It's not like I'm an expert in that area. So, I came back early."The girl narrowed her eyes at Kara with suspicion. "Why do I have a feeling you're lying? Did Mr. Moore chase you away?"Kara's face darkened. "What the fuck are you talking about? Have you never seen how nice Mr. Moore treats me?"She suddenly caught a glimpse of Camilla and sneered sarcastically, "I'm not like a certain someone who shamelessly
Camilla stared at Scott, her mind in a daze. Shouldn't she just give up?She had tried again and again to make a heartfelt connection with Jayden, only to be met with his indifference and heartlessness.Jayden treated her as nothing more than a mere object for pleasure. To him, how could an inanimate thing possess emotions?Camilla withdrew her gaze and responded calmly, "I appreciate your insightful words. However, I have already made up my mind. You are also highly competent yourself. I'll entrust this experiment to you. I have faith in your ability to excel."Scott wanted to argue, but from the look on Camilla's face, he knew she was done with the conversation. Anxiousness clouded his expression.He returned to his seat and promptly sent a text to Jayden, saying, "Mr. Moore, Camilla has just informed the counselor of her intention to leave the research institute. What should we do? She's so talented. If she leaves, it would be a loss for our institute."Scott anxiously wai
