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
Camilla was surprised. A package for her? But she didn't buy anything. Her eyes fell on the maid's hands. She saw it was a folder.She took it and carefully checked the sender's name, only to find a single letter "T." Who could it be?Camilla's brows furrowed. She opened the package, and the items inside fell out—a document and a few photographs. Camilla picked up the photos and examined them. One picture showed Jayden with Tanya. The timestamp was from a week ago. Another photo showed Jayden and Tanya again, but the date was twenty days ago.Camilla set the photos aside and opened the document. It described a rare disease. It was an acquired disease and required blood from individuals with a specific blood type or from a baby's blood to treat it. However, the rare disease mentioned was not hers. What did this mean?Camilla's brows knitted tightly together. Just then, her phone rang. Camilla pulled out her phone and saw it was a call from Simon."Hello, Mr. Dashner
Simon furrowed at Camilla's pale face. "Are you okay?"Camilla's lashes trembled as she tried to calm herself. "Continue."Simon sighed. He placed a set of documents on the table. "These are the medical records from when Tanya was hospitalized abroad. They were kept confidential, and I had to use various means to obtain them."Camilla glanced at the documents. She didn't have the courage to pick them up. Special blood type, a baby's blood …These words triggered her, stirring up her previous calmness.No, it couldn't be what she was thinking."Camilla," Simon began, his voice low and serious. "It's better to know earlier than later. At least now you have the right to make choices."Camilla closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment. "I'm just in disbelief. I never knew such weird things would happen to me."Simon said, "I've dealt with the Moore family and discovered that bizarre things kept happening to them. At this point, I'm no longer surprised by anything."Who wo
"Can you come back now?" Camilla's voice was calm and indifferent, showing no signs of emotion.Jayden's brows furrowed. "Not right now. The experiment is at a critical stage. I'll come back earlier tonight, okay?""But I want you to come back now." Camilla's tone suddenly turned cold. "There's something I want to ask you about. It's about you, me, and Tanya."Camilla abruptly hung up the phone.Jayden's brows knitted tightly together. He had a bad feeling about this. He made another call. "Has Camilla left the Bass Manor?""No, but Simon just left.""Okay." Jayden ended the call and pinched the bridge of his nose."What's wrong, Jayden?" Just then, Tanya's gentle voice sounded as she walked towards him.Jayden put down his hand and gave her a cold look through his glasses. His gaze was as cold as ice. "Tanya, you should know you're staying here only because I still have some use for you. Don't do anything that will upset me, or I won't spare you even with that person's pro
Camilla stared at him and pushed his hand away. "How did you find out? Were you monitoring me?"Jayden's brows furrowed. "Camilla, I don't want anyone else interfering in our affairs. Things will only get worse if others get involved. Can't we handle it ourselves?""But would you have told me if he hadn't?" Camilla's expression hardened.Jayden fell silent."You wouldn't have told me. I would be in the dark until the day I die." Camilla smiled bitterly.Jayden immediately exclaimed, "You won't die. I'll cure you.""I don't believe you anymore." Camilla shook her head and stood up. "Now, tell me the truth. Did you use our child for research?"The words from the documents kept flashing in her mind. Special blood type, a baby's blood. Although the child was only a month old and not fully formed, it shared her blood type. It was a terrifying thought. Camilla didn't want to continue the thought.Jayden observed her cold expression. She didn't believe him anymore. Her words pie
Camilla turned to Jenna. Her eyes reddened uncontrollably, and tears welled up. Jenna's words were the final straw. Camilla burst into tears."Mom ..." She threw herself into Jenna's embrace.Jenna patted Camilla's back gently. Her voice choked with emotions. "Her precious daughter," she whispered, holding back tears. How long had it been since they reunited? Who knew her poor daughter had gone through so much? Jenna regretted not finding Camilla earlier. If she had, Camilla wouldn't have suffered like this.Camilla remained in Jenna's embrace, crying out her sorrows. She had never let her emotions out like this before. She suddenly yearned for this feeling."I love him so much ..." Camilla choked. "I've loved him for five years. Since I saw him, I worked hard to be by his side."Jenna listened to her cries. She could imagine how much the girl had grown to love her crush, doing everything to get closer to him."Mom, do you know? I thought my crush was a secret, somethin
