Camilla stared at Tamara with hopeful eyes, as if only she could provide the hope she desperately needed.Tamara's breath hitched. She observed Camilla's tear-stained face and could not help but ask, "Camilla, you are still in love with Jayden, aren't you?"Was she still in love with Jayden? Of course, she was.Camilla had never denied her feelings for Jayden. She had been in love with him for many years. How could she suddenly stop loving him? But the repeated heartbreak and disappointment had extinguished her hopes for their relationship. That was why she sought to escape.But she made a decision last night.She had decided not to run away.She wanted to stay after the wedding, allowing Jackie and Jenna to leave without her. She couldn't forget how good he had been to her or the love he had given her. If she ran away now, she would never find happiness for the rest of her life.However, she never anticipated how things would turn out today.Camilla thought wrong. It w
"My dear in-laws, it must have given you a shock with how much was happening today. Why don't you go back and rest? We will inform you of any updates," Cheryl suggested.However, Jenna shook her head. "I'm not leaving. I want to stay here with Camilla."Jackie wanted to say something. But seeing Camilla's state, he held back his words.Cheryl observed the situation and decided to refrain from further persuasion.Meanwhile, in the corridor, everyone anxiously awaited Jayden's results. Soon, a doctor came out holding a medical report."Mr. and Mrs. Moore, this is your son's examination report. He was indeed infected with an unknown blood virus. Based on our observations, he is close to entering the third stage. If he experiences two more episodes, his life may be in danger."Jonathan's face darkened. "Start his treatment. Use the Moore family's name to invite doctors from around the world who specialize in this field to come to Clacton and cure this disease.""Right away." The doc
Camilla choked. Tears streamed down her face as she begged Jayden not to leave her. Jayden reached out and gently wiped the tears from her face. He sighed. "Sweetheart, we're not meant to be. Isn't it better for us to part ways now?""No, no ..." Camilla sobbed. "The relationship wouldn't have started if it weren't meant to be. We wouldn't have gotten married. Jayden, we lost a child because of your decision. I want you to give me another one. So you absolutely cannot die!"Her words amused Jayden, and he couldn't bear to see her cry any longer. He comforted her softly, "Alright, I won't die.""You can't lie again." Camilla's voice trembled. She looked like a spoiled child right now. It was a side Jayden had never seen before.He wanted to let her go.Staying by his side was causing her so much pain. He didn't want to see her wither away like a flower during the fall season. He wanted to see her shine and bloom. Jayden was the one who brought her down, so he chose to let go.
Camilla turned to Jackie and Jenna. "Dad, Mom, I need to go home and rest. You shouldn't disturb his rest either. Could you check on Nathan's condition for me?"Jackie and Jenna exchanged a helpless look. No matter how they tried to persuade her, Camilla only decided to go home when she thought she could help Jayden. Just how deeply did she love him? Her love for him must surpass the love Camilla had for her parents.The realization was difficult to digest, especially for Jackie, who had strong opinions against Jayden. But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. It was a good thing that Camilla was willing to go back and rest."Alright, we will look after Nathan. You can head back and rest," Jackie agreed."Okay." Camilla turned to Jonathan and Cheryl and gave them an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Mom, Dad. I've ruined today's wedding."Cheryl immediately reassured her, "Why would we blame you? If anyone is to blame, it's that bitch, Tanya. She has been causing trouble persis
Camilla found the sleeping pills and, without bothering to read the instructions, swallowed several of them without even drinking any water. The bitter taste immediately spread in her mouth. But it didn't bother her. The bitterness in her mouth was nothing compared to the bitterness in her heart. She lay back down and stared at the ceiling, waiting for sleep to take over.Countless memories flooded her mind—happy moments, joyful times, painful experiences, and moments of sorrow. In the past, she had avoided thinking about the painful memories. But she now realized that every memory was meaningful in itself.Her eyes welled up with tears, the bitterness of her emotions stinging her eyes. Eventually, the drowsiness she had been waiting for overtook her, and Camilla fell asleep.It was evening when she woke up again. The warm, orange sunlight streamed in from outside, casting a cozy glow over the room. Camilla got up and changed into fresh clothes before going downstairs for dinn
Camilla's breath hitched, and she tightened her grip on his hand. "I will definitely cure you.""I believe in you." Jayden looked at her earnestly.His pain appeared to have diminished, evident from the significant improvement in his complexion. With a gentle pull, he brought Camilla onto the bed. He wrapped his arms around her waist, his warm breath brushing against her ear."Sweetheart, we should start our honeymoon tonight."Camilla flushed red, and she resisted him. "Jayden, you still haven't fully recovered ...""It won't be a problem," Jayden murmured. His breath fanned across her face. Then, it was her ear, followed by her neck.He trailed down her body, and Camilla went limp under his touch. Her body had grown accustomed to him, pressing against him almost instinctively. Camilla's breathing grew a bit uneven. She whispered, "But we're in the hospital.""It's fine. No one will come in," Jayden assured her. He was determined to start their honeymoon regardless of her p
Camilla's heart melted. Nathan was her younger brother, and he was family. She couldn't be angry at him for long. However, she had to ensure he didn't attempt similar stunts again."Nathan." Camilla's tone grew gentler as she sat beside him. "You're all grown up. Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? What should I do if someone bullies me when you're not around?"Nathan's hand clenched into a fist. "I will protect you!""Yes. But before protecting others, you need to become stronger yourself. Once you're strong enough, you'll be able to protect anyone," Camilla said in all seriousness.She would eventually leave him, and he would gradually mature. Though there might be pain and hardships along the way, it was all part of growing up. Those experiences would be valuable life lessons for the future.Camilla gazed at him tenderly. "Nathan, don't let others' provocations make you doubt the people closest to you again. It doesn't matter if it's me or anyone else. You must give ab
"Alright." Nathan nodded and watched Camilla leave. He sat back down on the hospital bed, gazing at the cool night outside. He seemed to have understood something....Camilla returned to Valentia Hill and began to go through the data on Jayden's computer. There was an overwhelming amount of information, far too much to finish in a single day. She briefly skimmed through it before putting it aside. She needed a good night's sleep to have the energy for research tomorrow.Just then, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Jenna."Hello, Mom." Camilla's tone softened when she answered the call"Camilla, are you getting enough rest?" Jenna's gentle voice came through.Camilla replied, "I took a nap for the whole afternoon. I'm feeling much better now.""That's good to hear." Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. She continued gently, "You can always come back home if you don't like staying at Valentia Hill. Your father and I will take care of you."After toda
