The terrifying screams echoed in the hospital room. Kyle and Peggy paled at their wailing daughter before glancing at the calm Jayden.Kyle gave it a long thought before speaking, "We were wrong, Mr. Moore. It was my fault for not bringing up my daughter properly. We are grateful that you taught this girl a lesson. So could you please consider sparing our company?"Peggy's jaw dropped. "What are you talking about? Don't you care about Tanya?"Kyle immediately scolded, "We have more than one daughter! Are we supposed to risk our entire family for the sake of this worthless girl? She caused us more harm than good!"Peggy could only stare at her husband in astonishment. She couldn't believe her ears!Tanya, who was bound to the hospital bed, was shocked by Kyle's words. She immediately cried out, "Dad, are you abandoning me? How could you? Don't you love me? You were even willing to give up Charlie for me. Why can't you give up the Hunstman family for me as well?"Kyle gave Tanya a
Camilla gave Peggy an indifferent look. "Is this your idea of saving her?""No! That's not what I meant," Peggy quickly explained. "I'm telling the truth. Look for yourself. Don't you think they resemble you?"Camilla only glanced at the photo. The current her couldn't care less about having parents. Even if a miracle did happen, she couldn't be bothered."I'm willing to forgive the Hunstman family. But Tanya must be punished," Camilla muttered coldly.With that, she turned back to Jayden. "Let's go.""Okay." Jayden nodded and led her out of the hospital room.Kyle breathed a sigh of relief at Camilla's words. He turned his gaze to Peggy. "Did you really mean what you just said?"Peggy nodded. "Come and see for yourself."She showed the photo to Kyle. Having seen Peggy's brother and sister-in-law before, Kyle carefully thought about it, and his eyes lit up."There's a high possibility that Camilla is their daughter. If we tell her parents and they reunited with Camilla, wouldn
Camilla was now as red as a tomato, and she quickly pushed Jayden away. She glanced around shyly. "We're still in public."Emotions welled up within Jayden, and he stared longingly at her. "Camilla, did you mean what you said?"Camilla had never seen this insecure side of Jayden before. Her impression of Jayden had always been gentle, elegant, and composed. He was someone who would face any situation calmly.Today, she saw a different side of him.Camilla pursed her lips, and her usual indifferent face introduced a hint of coquettishness. It only added to her charm."Jayden, I said I can consider it. But I never said I agreed. Why are you getting excited over this?" Camilla blinked.A faint smile appeared on Jayden's face. "I'm delighted. This is the happiest I've ever felt."Camilla giggled at how serious he looked.Jayden held her hand again. "How much time do you need to think it through?""I don't know," Camilla honestly replied.It had taken a great deal of courage and d
Camilla opened her tired eyes and glanced at the time, realizing that only half an hour had passed. She got up and stared out the window, gradually recalling what had happened before she fell asleep. It seemed she had agreed to consider a relationship with Jayden. Emotions of happiness and sadness twirled within her heart as the past and the present meshed together. It only made her more uncertain of her decision. Jayden liked her, and she liked him too. Since the feelings were mutual, they should be together. If they did, they would have their happy ever after.At least, Camilla hoped so.Just then, the bedroom door creaked open. Jayden was surprised to see her awake. "Are you having a hard time falling asleep?" He walked over and sat beside her. Camilla stared at him. She suddenly felt like this was a dream. The Jayden in front of her was too gentle, too perfect. His anxiousness from before also seeped into her memories.Everything felt so unreal.Camilla pursed h
After a moment, Tamara retracted her hand and said softly, "There's nothing wrong. You might just have more sensitive nerves." Camilla nodded in response. Tamara hummed. "Then, let me try a different method." Camilla shook her head. "It's okay. I can endure it." Tamara furrowed her brows lightly. "I can't let that happen. Jayden brought you here to make you feel better. I can't worsen the pain. He'll definitely scold me." She swiftly removed the needles from Camilla's body.Camilla's brows knitted together. Her pain took a few minutes to fade into numbness. Tamara took out some medicine. "Applying this to your injured area will help with the healing." Camilla smiled. "Thank you, Tamara." Tamara grinned. "We're family. There's no need for such formality." Camilla flushed at her words.Tamara gave her a cheeky grin. "But I'm curious. How did you two resolve the misunderstanding?" Camilla paused at the question, recalling how exactly they resolved the misunderstandin
Camilla bid farewell to Tamara and left the manor with Jayden. Tamara saw them off at the gate. Just as she was about to say something, Sebastian pecked her cheek lightly. She turned around stiffly. "Something's off about Camilla's body.""What do you mean?" Sebastian peppered kisses onto Tamara's cheeks and asked absentmindedly.Tamara pushed him away. "I need to call Master and ask about this. This is something out of my knowledge."Sebastian stared blankly at her. Did she just abandon him?…Back at the Moore manor, Jayden instructed, "Go and take a rest now. I'll call you when dinner is ready."Camilla argued, "I'm not sleepy right now. Just feeling a little confused.""Tell me about it." Jayden led her to the couch and looked at her attentively.Camilla pondered for a moment. "Do you know anything about the Bass family that Tanya's mother mentioned?"Jayden smirked. "I knew you'd be curious, so I've already sent someone to investigate. I don't know much about the Bass
"How are you doing?" Simon's voice sounded heavier than usual. Camilla muttered lightly, "I'm fine now, thank you."Simon remained silent. Just as Camilla thought the call had been disconnected, his voice rang out again, "I was still too late. If I had arrived before him, would things be different?"Camilla didn't know where he was getting at. But it suddenly hit her. She gave Jayden a weird look. "Don't look too deep into it. I still need to thank you for your help today. When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal.""Really? Just the two of us?" Simon's voice instantly grew joyful. Camilla sighed helplessly. "When are you available?"Simon chirped, "I'll have the time once you've fully recovered."Camilla fell silent. She suddenly didn't know what to say."Okay, rest well. I won't disturb you any longer. Go to sleep," Simon said and hung up the phone. He had simply called to check on her."What's wrong?" Jayden noticed Camilla's heavy expression after she hung up the phone
"Not long. You're just in time for dinner." Jayden smiled.Camilla blushed. The evening sunlight framed her face nicely as she sat on the bed, adding a touch of innocence and cuteness. It was completely different from her usual cold and elegant vibe.Jayden's smile deepened at the state she was in, and a hint of tenderness twinkled in his eyes. He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips.Camilla snapped back to reality, her face growing even redder. "What are you doing?"Jayden smiled. "Kissing you."Camilla blushed even more. Shyness spread through her heart, and she avoided eye contact with Jayden."Let's go and have dinner." Jayden saw her discomfort and decided to restrain his teasing.Camilla stood up without another word, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Jayden. Jayden chuckled helplessly.Why had he never realized how shy she was?They arrived downstairs and saw the three children already seated in the dining room, waiting for them."Hello, M
