Jayden smirked. "Sweetheart, we're married. Why are you still so shy?"Camilla paused. "There should still be some mystique surrounding our relationship. What if I get bored of you?""Will you?" Jayden stared at her. His slender fingers slowly undid his shirt buttons. One by one, his flawless skin slowly came into view.Camilla fell silent.Jayden's body wasn't porcelain white. Although it was fair, it looked toned. All his muscles were hidden under his clothing, giving him a lean look.Camilla hummed.It seemed like she would never get bored of this.Seeing Camilla's gaze, Jayden's smile widened. He leaned in and whispered, "I don't think I'll ever get tired of you."Camilla gritted her teeth.She promptly shut her phone. She was done with the conversation!How did she never realize how flirtatious Jayden was?Camilla's face was bright red as she dried her hair. But she quickly got back to her senses. Why should she back down?She turned on her phone again and was greeted
Jayden took out his phone. He glanced at the screen and ended the call swiftly.He gazed tenderly at Camilla. "I'll be back as soon as possible."Camilla nodded, shifting her gaze away from his phone. "You don't need to worry about me. My parents are taking care of me.""Okay," Jayden nodded. He turned to Jackie and Jenna. "Uncle Jackie, Aunt Jenna, please take care of Camilla.""What are you talking about? Camilla is our daughter. It's only natural that we take care of her," Jenna immediately chirped.Jackie sneered, "She's our daughter. We don't need you to instruct us on what to do."Jayden fell silent.Just then, a car pulled over. Tamara, Jonathan, and Cheryl rushed over to Camilla.Cheryl asked with concern, "Camilla, are you okay?"Camilla didn't expect them to come. "Mom, Dad, you don't need to worry. I'm fine."Tamara informed her, "Uncle Jon and Aunt Cheryl rushed over as soon as they learned about your situation. They were even nagging about how irresponsible Jay
"Me and your dad are your strongest supporters." Jenna smiled.Camilla's heart warmed, but her thoughts were in turmoil. She didn't want things to get complicated. But what now?It seemed like the situation had gotten worse....At the Bass Manor. The group entered the house. On the way there, Jonathan and Cheryl learned about the situation from Jayden. Cheryl had already arranged for gifts to be sent over. They were caught off guard when they met Camilla's parents. Since they didn't show proper etiquette earlier, they planned to make up for it later.Camilla followed the doctor's advice and took the medicine before going to her room to rest. She closed the bedroom door and looked at Jayden. She couldn't help but laugh. "How about it? Have you ever experienced such a situation before?""I'm experiencing it right now." Jayden sighed helplessly. He brought Camilla to the bed and observed her. "How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"Camilla sighed weakly. "I only took th
Jackie's face darkened, but he didn't argue. Instead, he coldly stared down Jonathan. Jonathan remained unbothered. However, the atmosphere in the living room grew tense.Cheryl looked at Jonathan. She didn't know what he was thinking. Jenna glanced at Jackie. "I'll check up on Camilla. The medicine should have taken effect by now.""I'll go with you," Cheryl immediately offered.Jenna nodded, and the two of them went upstairs together. Tamara's eyes flickered, and she also stood up. "I'll go check on Camilla too."In an instant, only Jackie and Jonathan remained in the living room.Jackie suddenly chuckled. "Mr. Moore, what would you like to talk about?"Jonathan's gaze turned cold. "Jackie, you were fast to escape before I could get any evidence to use against you. But I haven't forgotten about that. Do you remember your good friend, Elijah Morrison?"Jackie's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that? We're not young anymore. Are you trying to bring up old grievances?"
The group waited at the bathroom door. Tamara felt weird as she remembered the blood on Jayden's hand. Fortunately, Jayden and Camilla soon came out. Camilla's face was pale, and she looked weak. Jayden carried her to the bed."How do you feel, Camilla?" Jenna immediately approached her.Camilla weakly replied, "Mom, I'm fine. I'll rest for a bit and go to the hospital."Jenna nodded. Cheryl turned to Jayden. When she noticed his eyes set on Camilla, she felt relieved. "Thank goodness your attention is on Camilla. Otherwise, I would disown you."Jayden sighed weakly. "Mom, Camilla is my wife. Of course, my attention is on her."Camilla smiled faintly. "Let's go to the hospital.""Okay." Jayden picked her up and left.Tamara stared at Jayden's retreating figure but didn't immediately follow them. Instead, she went into the bathroom. The toilet was clean, and a black bag was in the trash can. Tamara approached, wanting to check it. Just then, a maid entered."Miss, I'
Jayden gave Tanya a cold look before he walked past her and got into the car. He drove away without sparing another glance at Tanya.Tanya's smile grew strained. Her hands clenched into fists, and her gaze fell on the hospital. Nearby, a person discreetly kept their phone. They studied the photo they had just taken and smiled with satisfaction....Camilla soon fell asleep. When she woke up, Jenna and Cheryl were in the hospital room. Both of them remained silent, seemingly afraid of disturbing her."Mom ..." Camilla called out."Yes?" The two women responded simultaneously.Cheryl and Jenna exchanged a smile and approached the bed."What's wrong, Camilla? Are you hungry?" Jenna asked gently.Camilla blinked. "A little.""Then let's get you something to eat." Cheryl walked to the foot of the bed and adjusted the bed.Jenna set up the small table and brought over a lunchbox. She smiled. "You woke up just when the food arrived. Are you a glutton?"Camilla felt embarrasse
Camilla took out her phone and saw it was a call from Charlotte. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer it. "Hello, Charlotte.""Camilla, I saw you at the hospital. Are you sick?" Charlotte's gentle voice came through the phone.Camilla replied, "Just feeling a little under the weather. I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.""I'm already at the hospital. Which ward are you in? I wasn't sure that I saw you earlier. I'll visit you," Charlotte still spoke gently.Camilla blinked and reluctantly gave her the ward number.After hanging up the phone, she furrowed her eyebrows and thought, "What a coincidence."Camilla knew how busy Charlotte was, perhaps even more than anyone else. She had personally followed Charlotte around and seen how busy she could be.How did Charlotte find time to come to the hospital? Was she also sick?"Camilla, do you have a friend coming?" Jenna asked when she noticed Camilla deep in thought."Yes, I used to work at a dessert shop, and she
After watching Charlotte leave, Camilla withdrew her gaze. She wasn't naive. She was just in a bit of turmoil in the past. Now, people kept popping up around her. First, there was Tanya, and now Charlotte. How could everything be just a coincidence?Charlotte had added oil to the fire when Camilla was having a fight with Jayden.Although she didn't bluntly tell Camilla to leave Jayden, each word hinted at creating distance between them.Camilla looked at her phone. Her screensaver was a photo of her and Jayden together. He was staring at her. Even through the screen, his adoration for her was still evident.She appreciated Charlotte. But that was where she drew the line."Camilla, did your friend leave already?" asked Jenna when she returned."She had some urgent matters and had to leave first," Camilla said.Having made herself clear, Charlotte probably wouldn't come to her again, so there was no need to reveal everything.Jenna nodded. "I see. I'll wash these frui
