"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
Once Simon entered the manor, the lights flickered to life. He led Camilla to the basement.The basement was spacious. The rows of cabinets displayed various bottles and containers. At a glance, it resembled some kind of laboratory.Camilla looked around and playfully commented, "I was your assistant once. How come I never know about this secret base of yours?"Simon glanced at her. "Since it's a secret base, of course I'm the only one to know about it."Camilla fought the urge to roll her eyes.Simon walked over to a particular bottle and picked it up. "This is it."Camilla lowered her eyes and saw a bottle containing some soil and plants. A small white creature the size of a grain of rice crawled around the leaves.The tiny bug was so small that it could be crushed easily.Camilla's eyes lit up.Simon handed her the bottle. "You can extract the sample first.""Okay." Camilla nodded and opened the bottle. She carefully extracted a tiny sample of the creature before returning
It was dark outside. Camilla leaned against the wall and smiled in relief.Suddenly, a noise came from the entrance. She turned her gaze toward the door and saw Jayden entering.Camilla was shocked. "Why are you out of the hospital?"Jayden observed her closely. "You promised to have dinner with me."Camilla froze. Countless emotions swirled within her.She slowly approached him before pulling him into a hug.Jayden instinctively hugged her back. His warm breath tickled her ear as he asked, "What's wrong?""Jayden, I'm close to a breakthrough." Camilla's voice trembled.Jayden's breath hitched. "Congratulations."Camilla closed her eyes and tightened her hold on him.Jayden sensed the change in her emotions, and a gentle smile played on his lips.Suddenly, Camilla released him. She gave him a displeased look. "So, you haven't eaten anything until now?"Jayden nodded guiltily. "Yes, I've been waiting for you."Camilla punched his arm. "Why are you like this? Jayden, you d
