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 family sat together at the dining table. The food placed on the table was all Camilla's favorites. Jenna smiled at Camilla. "You should have told us you were bringing Mr. Moore over. We would have prepared him his favorites."Jackie argued, "Do you know what he likes?"Jenna paused.Jayden smiled gently. "Uncle Jackie, Aunt Jenna, I like whatever Camilla likes. You don't need to go through the trouble."He had previously dropped the formalities with the older couple. But sensing Jackie's hostility towards him, Jayden immediately changed his approach. He had to get closer to the older couple before acting friendly with them."Let's eat." Jenna noticed the dark look on Jackie and decided to change the subject.Camilla turned to Jayden and saw that he appeared calm and unaffected. A hint of amusement flashed across her eyes. She was still getting to know her biological parents. Jackie's behavior left her puzzled. She did not know what had gone wrong.After an awkward dinn
