“Hello? Camilla? What’s up?” asked Tamara in a gentle tone.Camilla sounded as indifferent as always. “We found the cure, Miss Moore. Can you come over now?”Tamara jumped with joy at the news. “Really? I’ll head over now!”“See you,” muttered Camilla.After ending the call, Tamara turned to Sebastian happily. “Let’s go to Jay’s laboratory.”Sebastian nodded and drove off again.At the research institute.Margot had rushed over when she heard about the cure. When the couple arrived, Austin was still talking to her.Tamara entered the place and immediately went to Jayden. “I heard you’ve found the cure, Jay.”“I did,” hummed Jayden. He continued, “Let’s go to the hospital later. We need to give Benjamin a full body checkup to make sure he’s doing alright before using the cure on him.”Margot came over and gave Jayden an appreciative look. “Thank you, Jay.”Jayden smiled warmly. “You’re most welcome. Since you’re Tammy’s friend, you’re my sister too.”Margot’s eyes watered.
When Camilla arrived at the lab, she noticed the door leading to Kayla’s ward was wide open. Camilla went rigid and immediately ran inside. As she had suspected, Kayla managed to break free of her restraints and vanished!Camilla turned to the other workers. “Have any of you seen Kayla?”“No.”“I was in the toilet.”“Nope.”A chorus of denial sounded.Camilla furrowed her brows. She hurried to call up Jayden. “Mr. Moore! Kayla is gone!”At the hospital.Jayden informed Tamara and Margot of Kayla’s escape. The two ladies turned as white as sheets.There was no denying it. Kayla was the reason why Benjamin was suddenly experiencing multiple organ failures!“Calm down, Margot. I’m sure the doctors will do everything in their power to save Benjamin. He’s going to be fine.” Tamara noticed Margot’s pale face and immediately comforted her.Margot’s hands curled into fists. “Shit! Who the fuck help Kayla escape?”Tamara turned to Sebastian and whispered, “Can you look into this? Pl
The doctor had a grim look on their face. “We can only hope for the best.”Margot stumbled back. She shut her eyes tightly and muttered, “I understand. Thank you, doctor.”The doctor left the trio.Benjamin was brought out of the operating room after. He looked pale and was still unconscious.Margot stared at him and said suddenly. “How long are you planning to worry me, Benjamin? What am I supposed to do if you die?”Tamara immediately held Margot’s arm. “It will be fine, Margot. Don’t worry. We already have the cure. Now, all we need to do is wait for his condition to stabilize and use the cure. He’s going to be fine.”Margot forced a smile. “How could I not worry about him, Tammy?”Benjamin was taken to the intensive care unit. He needed to be kept under close surveillance for the next 24 hours. The three stood in front of the door, watching it close slowly in front of them.Tears rolled down Margot’s cheeks.Tamara felt sorry for her but didn’t know what to say to cheer up
Tamara stared at the ring. She mumbled softly, “I can see why they’re friends.”“What?” Her words confused Margot. “What are you talking about?”Tamara put the box on the table and grabbed a pillow instead. “I said, I can see why they’re friends. One doesn’t want to wake up, and the other doesn’t want to propose.”Margot blinked. Her mind finally connected the dots, and she burst out laughing. “Why are we so unlucky? We met two weirdos.”Tamara was relieved to see Margot laughing like the good old days. “You’re right. They’re both unreliable. Benjamin is worse, though. How could he keep this a secret from you?”Margot nodded. “Right? What was he thinking? Why did he choose to suffer silently and make me hate him? Does he think he’s in some kind of sappy love story?”Tamara nodded along. “You’re right! That asshole!”The two ladies kept criticizing their men. After some time, Margot sighed, “Thank you, Tammy.”Tamara rolled her eyes at her. “Stop thanking me, or I will send you
George, who looked to be in his thirties, was enjoying a cup of tea. He had a regal air around him. He looked gentle and was smiling softly at Tamara.“Come closer.” George waved Tamara over.Tamara walked over and sat opposite him. She put out her hand and allowed him to check her pulse.George took careful note of Tamara’s pulse. He hummed, “Not bad. It appeared that all of the poison within you had been expelled.”Tamara smiled. Part of the poison was transferred to Caleb when she gave birth. That was why she had regained her ability to speak. What she didn’t realize was that there was still some poison in her.George found out about it and started treating her. He gave her some medicine and helped get rid of the remaining poison inside Tamara.“Let me give you an introduction, Master. This is my friend, Margot.” Tamara waved Margot over and introduced her to George.Margot immediately greeted, “Hello, Master.”George smiled lightly. “I’m not your master. You don’t have to c
George smiled faintly. “I think I can cure him.”Tamara sighed in relief. “I believe in you. He is my friend’s boyfriend. He got cursed some time ago.”George glanced at Margot. “Got it. I have a brief idea of what is happening. I will come by tomorrow to treat him.”Tamara nodded. “Wait, Master. Do you want to have a meal together? It’s been so long since we last met.”George grinned. “Do you miss me that much? Aren’t you afraid that the ex-husband of yours will grow jealous of me?”Tamara shrugged, “That’s different. You’re my master. He won’t be jealous of you.”George hummed, “Speaking of your husband, I just remembered that I have yet to meet him. Won’t you invite him out and introduce us?”Tamara nodded, “Sure! Then let’s go to a restaurant now. I’ll give him a call.”George nodded along.Tamara turned to Margot. “Come. Let us have some lunch. Since Master is around, Benjamin will be fine.”Although Margot still had some doubts about this, she still nodded at the invita
“I can’t believe it’s you, Seb.” George stood up and approached Sebastian. The smile on his face deepened, and he patted Sebastian’s shoulders.“Hello, uncle,” greeted Sebastian.Both Tamara and Margot felt their jaws drop when they heard that.Tamara stared at George before turning back to Sebastian. “You…you’re…”Sebastian’s softened gaze landed on Tamara. He muttered lowly, “He is my uncle. He was the one who cured my poison.”George nodded. “That’s right. I had no idea my student was dating my nephew!”Margot piped in, “It seems your two families are closely intertwined.”Tamara was pleasantly surprised. She held Sebastian’s arm. “How could I have forgotten? So it was Master who cured you. That’s great news!”“Alright now. Have a seat, both of you.” George motioned to the chairs.They all took their seats. The atmosphere was more harmonious than before, and George kept scanning between Sebastian and Tamara. He finally smiled, “I already told your mother she was wrong in fo
The atmosphere in the car grew tense.Sebastian had a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Are you angry?”Tamara continued to ignore him and fixed her gaze on the road ahead. Many people passed by, and every now and then, a couple would appear. A man had said something to cause his woman to laugh bashfully.The more couple Tamara saw, the angrier she became.Sebastian grew worried about her silence. He reached forward to grab her hands. Tamara wanted to pull away from him but failed in doing so.“I just wanted to give you a surprise. I wasn’t expecting my uncle to ruin it so bluntly,” whispered Sebastian lowly.Tamara finally responded. She turned around. “I have dropped you many hints before this, yet you kept acting a fool. Was this all part of your surprise?”Sebastian hummed, “I really wanted to catch you off guard and surprise you. Can you really call it a surprise if you could see it coming from a mile away?”Tamara pursed her lips. “But you were acting like you never even th
