Austin gave Camilla an injection. Camilla shuddered when the needle pierced her skin. Austin felt surprised by her reaction and frowned. "Does it hurt that much?" Jayden hugged Camilla and pecked her forehead. He whispered reassuringly, "It's alright."Austin didn't want to see their lovey-dovey acts. He kept his medical kit and instructed, "Keep a close eye on her temperature. You should check it every half an hour. She should be fine if her temperature drops. But if it doesn't, you should take her to the hospital immediately.""Okay," Jayden hummed.Austin mumbled, "Then, I'll be leaving now.""Thank you." Jayden saw him off.Jayden's gaze returned to Camilla. He worried she might feel uncomfortable lying in his arms for too long. He carefully placed her on the bed. He sat by her side, keeping a close watch on her condition.Camilla felt like her head was about to explode due to the fever. Drowsiness washed over her, and she drifted in and out of sleep. During this time,
Camilla closed her eyes. Her lashes trembled uncontrollably, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. All in all, she couldn't control her emotions anymore. Jayden remained by her side. He kept a close watch. He didn't want her to slip down the bathtub in case she lost consciousness and drowned. "I want to get out," Camilla mumbled hoarsely after ten minutes."Okay. I'll carry you out." Jayden picked up a towel and wrapped her up before leaving the bathroom. Due to the steam, a faint blush appeared on Camilla's face. She seemed to be in much better condition.Yet, her demeanor remained indifferent."Are you hungry?" Jayden asked as he wiped her body.Camilla didn't answer. She had no strength and could only watch as Jayden wiped her dry.After a while, he brought new clothes and helped her put them on. He touched her forehead and felt relieved to find her temperature had gone down."Jayden," Camilla called out hoarsely."I'm here," Jayden hummed."I don't want to see you,"
Camilla stared at the messages. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Nathan knew about her situation and was coming to rescue her. But how could she let Nathan take such a risk?Simon had only told her about Tanya, and Jayden retaliated against him. If Nathan came to rescue her, she didn't know what crazy things Jayden might do. Nathan was her little brother. He had been with her for years. She couldn't let anything happen to him.Camilla wrote, "Nathan, listen to me. I'm fine. He hasn't harmed me. He's just afraid of me leaving him. He treats me well."She sent another text. "I'm safe. There's no need for me to leave. It'll only enrage him if I left. Nathan, please listen to me, okay?"When she didn't receive a reply, she sent another text. "Nathan?"Nathan didn't reply to any of her messages.Camilla grew anxious. She tried calling Nathan, but like before, the call couldn't go through.She attempted to message the others, but her text wouldn't deliver either. She didn
Camilla nodded and got into the car. She watched the confrontation between Jackie and Cheryl through the car's window.Cheryl began, "My dear in-law, now that we've found Camilla, don't you think it's time we talk this out?""Talk this out? Let me give it to you straight. My daughter will divorce Jayden. I won't allow that demon to hurt my daughter again!" Jackie stated.Cheryl frowned. "We can discuss this. We're still a family, after all, right?""Hmph!" Jackie sneered. "I never intended to associate with the Moore family!"With that, he got into the car and drove off.Cheryl's face fell. But their family was in the wrong. Jackie had every right to be angry. Now, she had to figure out what Jayden was thinking!Camilla watched as the manor disappeared from her view. The past two days felt like a dream. Camilla withdrew her gaze.While driving, Jackie glanced at her and comforted, "I'm here, Camilla. I'll protect you."Camilla hummed and nodded. Her heart warmed, melting away
Camilla returned to the Bass manor. The manor was brightly lit. Jenna was anxiously pacing inside."Mom," Camilla called out as soon as she entered. Her eyes watered."Camilla!" Jenna lit up with joy when she saw Camilla. She scanned Camilla from head to toe, checking for injuries."Mom, I'm fine. I'm okay." Camilla quickly reassured her and hugged Jenna tightly."I'm glad you're fine." Jenna let out a sigh of relief. She turned to Jackie and noticed the dark look on his face. Nevertheless, Camilla was back. At least, they had one less problem now."Camilla, you should go upstairs and rest. We'll leave Clacton once you're fully rested," Jackie said.Camilla nodded and suddenly remembered something. "Mom, Dad, let's bring Nathan along too. If not for him, I wouldn't have been able to escape.""Of course," Jenna said, "We'll treat him as our own."The couple ran a background check on Camilla after the three reunited. They found out she had a younger brother who she was close wi
The atmosphere in the living room tensed at Tamara's words.Joseph widened his eyes in shock while Jonathan's expression turned ugly.Cheryl pointed an accusing finger at Jayden, but she couldn't find the right words to say. Jayden's actions had angered everyone.Jayden stood up without warning. "I'm going to find her."He headed straight for the door.The others exchanged looks, not knowing what to do. Should they stop him? Could they even stop him? But if they didn't, who knew what outrageous things Jayden would do?They were caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to handle the situation.It was pitch black outside when Jayden left the manor. Dark clouds covered the sky, and not a single star was in sight. Jayden took out his phone and made a call. "Bring Nathan to me."…The next day. Camilla was up early. Despite being at home, Camilla still found herself unable to be at peace. Anxiousness ate at her, and she felt something bad was about to happen. When Camilla e
Inside the hospital.Camilla arrived at Simon's ward and saw bodyguards guarding the entrance. One of the bodyguards immediately stopped her when she stepped closer."Please tell him Camilla's here," Camilla said calmly.One of the bodyguards went inside and returned shortly after. "You may enter."Camilla nodded and entered the ward. It was a VIP ward. There was a couch right at the entrance, while the bed was further inside. Simon lay on the bed with a pale look on his handsome face."You're here." Simon tried to prop himself up when he saw her."Just lie down and stay still." Camilla furrowed her brows and pushed him down gently. She sat down beside the bed. "Sorry.""What are you apologizing for?" Simon smiled. "You weren't the one who hurt me."Camilla argued, "But you were hurt because of me. You wouldn't have been hurt if I hadn't sought your help.""This is nothing." Simon shrugged. "It's normal for a man to have a few scars."Camilla didn't know how to react to his
Camilla had a cold personality. She had never shown vulnerability and affection to anyone, not even a friend like Kylie.Kylie froze for a moment, but she quickly returned the hug."Thank you, Kylie," Camilla muttered sincerely. Kylie genuinely cared for her.Kylie smiled. "Why are you thanking me? Send me your location after you've settled down. I'll visit you once Simon gets discharged.""Sure." Camilla nodded. "Both of you should come together. Maybe as a detour during your honeymoon trip.""Oh, come on!" Kylie blushed and let go of her. "I have to go now." With that, Camilla turned and left.Kylie waited until Camilla entered the lift before going back inside the ward.Nathan and Simon were staying at the same hospital. Camilla took the elevator down two floors and arrived at Nathan's floor.Upon reaching Nathan's ward, Camilla found the housekeeper cleaning it up. Nathan was nowhere to be found.Camilla furrowed her brows. "Excuse me, where is the patient?"The houseke
