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
Camilla rarely displayed such a strong attitude. Usually, she was cold and distant, giving off an aloof vibe.Jayden stared at her and eventually compromised. "Alright."Camilla's expression eased at this.The two of them started having breakfast. A warm atmosphere filled the hospital ward. Faced with matters of life and death, the pains and grievances that once felt significant appeared insignificant. Camilla had already let go of the past. She was content as long as Jayden was fine.After finishing their meal, Camilla packed up the mess and said to Jayden, "I'll go check on Nathan.""Okay." Jayden gazed at her retreating figure. Once Camilla had left the ward, Jayden took out his phone and made a call. "Break all four of Tanya's limbs."His tone was icy, and his usual gentle eyes were now replaced by a fiery cruel look.That damn bitch, Tanya, was always stirring up trouble. He wouldn't allow her to die that easily after all the fucking stunts she pulled. He wanted her
Camilla first brought lunch to Jayden. After setting it down, she was about to leave when he held her hand."Where are you going?" Jayden asked. Camilla shook the other two lunchboxes in her hand. "I'm going to have lunch with Nathan."Jayden's smile turned bitter at her words. He looked disappointed and sad as he let go of her hand. "Oh, alright. Go ahead."Camilla widened her eyes slightly. Puzzled, she wondered what was going on. Camilla's heart softened at how Jayden tried to force down his disappointment.Unlike Nathan, who openly expressed his disappointment, Jayden stirred up a whole other emotion.Camilla sighed helplessly. "I'll have dinner with you."Jayden nodded. "Go ahead. It's fine. I can be by myself."Camilla quirked a brow.It was just a meal. Why wouldn't Jayden be fine with eating by himself?Camilla was bamboozled!She staggered her way to Nathan's ward. The young boy had been eagerly waiting. He took the lunchbox from her and opened it before pushing
After Camilla finished speaking, she didn't pay any more attention to Scott and walked toward the changing room.Scott watched her retreating figure, his hands curling into fists. Scott was left questioning how circumstances had evolved into their current state. Everything had been planned out.Once Nathan died, his death would fuel Camilla's hatred for Jayden. She might even kill him. Yet, the two of them had reconciled.Scott spat under his breath, "Damn it!"He bit down his emotions and left the research institute after that. ...Camilla didn't give Scott a second thought. Her top priority now was to research Jayden's illness. When she came out of the lab to grab herself a drink, her phone suddenly rang.She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Tamara."Hello, Tammy," answered Camilla."Where are you, Camilla? Are you at the research institute?" Tamara's voice came through the phone."Yes." Camilla unconsciously held her breath. "Have you found a cure?
Camilla giggled at Tamara's words. It was enough to ease the tense atmosphere.Tamara continued the acupuncture calmly. "Master and I are researching this illness as well. Whenever Master encounters these complex cases, he becomes completely engrossed in them. I believe we'll soon find a cure.""I trust both of you," Camilla declared.She had great faith in George's medical skills. After all, it was he who developed the treatment for her condition.Ultimately, Jayden's illness was caused by a cursed bug. All they needed to do was find a way to deal with the bacteria."Alright, it will be done in a while." Tamara inserted the last needle. She let out a sigh of relief and couldn't resist touching Camilla's soft and beautiful skin. "Oh my, Jayden is so lucky."A blush crept onto Camilla's face, and she rolled her eyes at Tamara. "Isn't Sebastian lucky too?"Tamara waved her hand dismissively. "We've been married for ages. Our three children have also grown up. It's not as passion
Camilla replied calmly, "I like working here."Simon chuckled. "Do you like working here, or do you like the owner of this place?"Camilla studied him. She sighed in relief when she saw the teasing look he was giving her. She nodded. "You're right. I do like the owner of this place."Simon sighed helplessly. "Are we really going to continue this shallow conversation?"Camilla gave him an innocent look. "But you started it."Simon chuckled before getting to the point. "I came here something to discuss with you. It's about Jayden's illness."Camilla grew tense at this. She stared at him. "Do you have a way to save him?"Simon shrugged. "I'm not sure if you can call this a cure. I found out about Tanya's illness when I was looking into her files. I looked into it and found that her illness resulted from some mutated virus from cursed bugs, and it originated from Nammu Bay."Camilla furrowed her brows. "But Nammu Bay doesn't exist anymore.""Is that so?" Simon gave her a toothy gr
