The night grew thicker. Both of them were sweaty. Although Camilla was exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep because of Jayden's movements.After a while, Jayden's scorching breath fell on her neck. He lightly kissed her. "Let me carry you to the showers."Camilla hummed drowsily.She didn't know what happened next; she was too exhausted....The next morning.Camilla opened her eyes and subconsciously reached out to the side. Her hand met the warm body of a man."Aren't you going to work?" She turned around in surprise, her face still showing a hint of drowsiness.Jayden held her hand and kissed it. His voice was low and warm. "I wanted to wait for you to get up and go together."Since they had resolved their misunderstanding, there was no need to hide the truth.They could go to the lab together, participate in the same experiments, and work together to unravel the mysteries of the disease.Camilla smiled and went to freshen up."Together," Jayden uttered as he got up, ga
Camilla nodded understandingly. "Then, go ahead and draw the blood."She took off her lab coat and extended her arm.Jayden inserted the needle into her vein. Camilla suddenly knitted her brows and pursed her lips."Does it hurt?" Jayden grew concerned when he saw her expression."A little." Camilla nodded, not denying the pain. After all, she had to be truthful about her feelings. She didn't know if other people found getting pricked with a needle painful. But for her, it hurt like hell."It will be over soon." Jayden's brows furrowed. As soon as the tube of blood was drawn, he removed the needle and used a cotton swab to press on the wound."Let me do it." Camilla took the cotton swab from him, her brows tightly knitted.Jayden gazed at her pale complexion with concern. His expression turned serious. "I will find a cure for you as soon as possible."Camilla nodded in acknowledgment. "I trust you."Jayden handed the blood sample to someone else and supported her out of the
"Wait a minute. I'm a little confused right now. Where are you? Let's meet and talk about it," Kylie exclaimed anxiously."Sure. I'm at the entrance of the research institute," Camilla said weakly."Don't go anywhere. I'll come to pick you up." With that, Kylie hung up the phone.About ten minutes later, Kylie appeared in Camilla's sight, along with a tall figure.It was Simon Dashner.Camilla couldn't help but wonder, "Why are they here together?"Narrowing her eyes slightly, she didn't dwell on it for too long and made her way to them. "Are you serious, Camilla?" Kylie reached out to touch her forehead. "Let me check if you're being delirious."Camilla was amused by her. "Let's find a place to sit down.""Then let's go to my cousin's dessert shop. It's not far from here," Kylie suggested."Alright." Camilla nodded in agreement. The group arrived at the dessert shop, where Charlotte had just finished preparing some items. She was pleased to see them."Camilla, how are yo
Kylie scoffed, "Yep, our horoscopes are incompatible. I never would have arrived with her if we didn't bump into each other on the way here."Camilla was speechless. Simon frowned at Kylie, then ignored her and turned to Camilla. "Can your body handle the abortion?"When he first learned about Camilla's pregnancy, Simon was a little envious of Jayden for receiving all her love and attention and how quickly they became an expecting couple. But when he heard that she was getting an abortion, he became a little calmer. It was like he'd lost some of his devotion to Camilla.What was going on? Did he not love Camilla anymore? That couldn't be right. He might have been a playboy in the past, but he'd liked her for a really long time. After some consideration, Simon figured that Camilla's genuine lack of interest in him may have affected his feelings.Kylie looked at Camilla too. "Yeah, can you handle it?"Camilla nodded. "I've already prepared myself for it. I'll be fine.""But I'm sti
Simon frowned. "That's probably just a myth. There's no way that actually happened.""Oh, it happened." Charlotte nodded.Kylie waved her hand and said, "Stop talking about it. It's so gross. Good thing it's not a true story, because if it was, I'd be worse off for it."Charlotte smiled. "Aren't you usually the brave one?"Kylie shook her head. "Oh, no, I'm a coward through and through.""So you're aware of that?" Simon insulted her mercilessly.Kylie glared at him. "What is it to you? Why do you keep sticking your nose in everyone's business?"Simon narrowed his eyes and shot Kylie a dirty look.Upon seeing that, Camilla said, "Alright, let's change the subject before you two get in a fight. It sucks being the mediator, you know?"Kylie scoffed and turned away from Simon, who snorted with a hint of mockery. Charlotte said in a resigned tone, "Mr. Dashner has been very forgiving with you so far. If you're rude to him again and he decides to punish you, I won't be able to sav
It was a medical report.Tanya's name was on it.Camilla furrowed her brows. Why did Tanya send her her medical report?Ms. Reed noticed the name on the report and immediately looked worried. "Mrs. Moore, I don't think you should look through it. Let's wait for Mr. Moore to come home first."Camilla had a bad feeling about it. She nodded. "Alright."Ms. Reed didn't expect Camilla to agree so readily and couldn't help but sigh in relief.Camilla took the medical report and went upstairs. She sat on a chair and stared at the name on the paper. Was Tanya sick? What kind of illness did she have? Why did she send the report to Camilla?A series of questions flooded Camilla's mind. Camilla was hesitant to go through the report. But when she thought about Jayden, she decided to wait for him so they could go through it together.Camilla got up and changed her clothes. She took a few steps and couldn't resist texting Simon. "Mr. Dashner, can you help me check something?"Simon
Camilla clenched her fists tightly. It took a moment before she said, "Since he's busy, let's have a video call instead. I want to see what he's up to."With that, Camilla hung up the phone.While Tanya was still in a daze, the video call request came through. Tanya froze at the request, her lips tightly pursed together."What are you doing?" a cold voice suddenly sounded.Tanya's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the phone.Jayden strode over and took the phone from her. He glanced at the screen and swiftly answered the call."Camilla, it's not what you think ..." Jayden hurriedly explained.Camilla chuckled. "I know."Seeing her calm demeanor, Jayden couldn't help but relax. His sharp glare snapped towards Tanya.Tanya stood in place and felt like a clown.Camilla spoke slowly, "She answered my call and said you were busy. I got curious about what you were doing. After all, why would she be using your phone? So, I started a video call. Who knew she was too cowardly to
"Stop pacing around. It's not dinner time yet." Jackie came out of the kitchen, having already prepared dinner. He saw how anxious Jenna was and was quick to comfort her.Jenna mumbled, "I'll go pick Camilla up. Do you think it's safe for her to come here alone?"Jackie immediately clicked his tongue. "Don't jinx it."Jenna slapped a hand over her mouth. "Yes, you're right. I need to stop.""Sir, madam, Ms. Camilla has arrived," the butler announced.Jackie and Jenna immediately headed for the door. They saw a car parked outside the gate. A man and a woman got out of the car and walked towards them."Who is that man?" Jackie furrowed his brows."He might be Camilla's boyfriend. Don't just stand there. Let's go welcome them." Jenna ignored Jackie and stepped forward."Mom," Camilla greeted Jenna."You're just in time. Your dad has just finished preparing dinner." Jenna smiled.Camilla pointed to Jayden. "Mom, this is my husband, Jayden."Jayden immediately greeted, "Hello,
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
