“Honey, you must think of a way to save Carrie. She has never been treated roughly before.” Mrs. Newman was worried about her younger daughter. She had not even been that worried about her son, who was still in high school. However, her son went to a boarding school and was in his senior year. He could only return home once a month, so she only had to transfer money to her son’s card. Her son was much more mature than her daughter, but she did not like that he was protective of his elder sister, Camryn. Whenever Mrs. Newman’s son was at home, she had to be gentler toward Camryn to prevent her son from quarreling with her. “Carrie is just in detention for fifteen days. She’ll be out when the days are up. We should be worried about Mrs. York suing her.”Mr. Newman sighed. “We have to apologize to them.”He was also anxious that his cherished daughter had caused trouble. However, unlike his wife who simply thought of getting their daughter out, he thought further ahead. “It’s
Camryn faced the car and tried to see who parked the car. Unfortunately, it was still dark in front of her, with only a glimmer of light. That faint light was not enough for her to see things clearly. The light felt so close yet so far. “Do you still walk to the store every day?”A raspy voice could be heard. Camryn recognized it. It was Callum’s voice. Callum was tricked into sending Camryn back to her store once by his sister-in-law. When she thanked him and asked for his name, he did not hide his identity like his brother and told her that he was the young master of Yorks. “Mr. York.”After finding out it was Callum, Camryn showed her signature smile. “Does the Newman family not have a driver?”“The Newman family does. I don’t.”Callum pressed his lips together. The wife candidate his nana chose for him was a blind and pitiful girl. She lost her dad and was not loved by her mother. “Get on. I’ll give you a ride to the store.”Camryn did not move. She asked Callum
Callum turned to glance at her and said, “You’re blind. You can’t wave the bus down even if it passes by.”Camryn replied, “The security guards at the main entrance are very helpful. They would wave down the bus for me every day and watch me get on.”Callum did not say a word. They did not know each other well, after all. Callum initially did not intend to make a move so fast. After being tricked by his sister-in-law, he started pursuing Camryn passively so that his brother and sister-in-law would not watch him make a fool of himself. His nana only gave him the basic information. He knew nothing else. Without understanding and familiarity, there was nothing much to talk about. One of them drove attentively, while the other paid attention to the music playing in the car along the way. The car stopped when they arrived at Spring Blossoms. Callum turned toward Camryn and said, “Ms. Newman, we’ve arrived at your flower shop.”She replied okay and unfastened the seatbelt. N
“You don’t seem like a blind person when you do all these things, Ms. Newman.”Camryn placed the stick back in its original position. She said indifferently, “I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve been running this flower shop for years and doing the same daily routine. I can do it by instinct since I’m used to it.”After opening the door, Camryn put down her cane and started moving potted plants that were taking up space outside skillfully. “What flowers do you want to buy today, Mr. York?” Camryn asked Callum as she moved the flowers. “You can take your time and look around.”After watching her move several flowerpots, Callum finally decided not to be a spectator and went forward to help her. He moved all the potted plants that needed to be placed at the flower shop’s entrance.The name of each flower was on every flowerpot. However, the names were not written on paper but on wood. Each flower’s name was carved on a wooden sign, which enabled Camryn to identify the flower her customers
Carrie could not stand her brother treating Camryn well. She asked Mrs. Newman to send him to a boarding school since he started first grade to reduce the time he stayed at home. Even so, he still treated Camryn better. Camryn’s brother, who was younger than her by nine years, had always felt guilty. He blamed himself for not being able to get their parents to send her to the hospital when she was sick while he was in school. It had caused her to lose her sight. In that family, Camryn had only felt the warmth of family from her brother. Callum listened to her saying the most heartbreaking words with a calm tone. He strangely felt sorry for her. It could be due to him knowing she was the wife his nana had chosen for him from the start.Callum was treating Camryn as his woman. “Happiness will come after hard times,” Callum said with a deep, gentle voice. Camryn smiled at him. “You don’t have to feel sorry for me, Mr. York. They don’t treat me well, but they’ve raised me un
Callum and Camryn had not even started dating. Well, he had started, but she did not know about it. It was understandable that she refused to give him roses. “The flowers are pretty. Thank you for the bouquet, Ms. Newman.”Callum accepted the flowers and admired them. After thanking Camryn, he said to her while holding the bouquet, “I’ll head to work now, Ms. Newman.”Callum walked out of the store and went to his car. He opened the passenger’s seat door and placed the bouquet on the seat. He turned to glance at Camryn before getting in the car and driving away.Camryn listened to the sounds at the entrance. She let out a breath of relief when she heard the sound of a car engine starting. She felt like Mr. York was targeting her. Not targeting, to be exact, but he seemed interested in her. Maybe he had never seen a blind person. Camryn never thought Callum would fall for her. She was blind, after all. Callum brought the bouquet Camryn gave him to York Corporation. After gett
Callum asked curiously, “The rumored genius doctor? Can that person heal eyes?”“Of course a genius doctor can treat anything. Otherwise, why will that person be called a genius?”Callum asked again, “Where’s the genius doctor? I’ll have people invite him over.”“He used to hang around FC Manor in Annenburg, but he hasn’t been there lately. I heard the genius doctor’s student is close to Lee but isn’t on good terms with Tim. You can ask Remy about it.“The student’s last name is Carden. She’s a great woman. She had traveled with Mrs. Lafayette to Meadspring and helped the Lafayette family eliminate their greatest enemy in the past. She fights well, and her medical skill is as good as her fighting. Oh, by the way, she’s an expert in using poison.”Despite that, Ms. Carden was a doctor and prioritized saving people. Although she was good at using poison, she would not use it to harm others.“A person as great as that must be hard to invite.”Zachary said, “It’s fine as long as you
Lucas’s kidnapping was a good example. Chelsea was immersed in watching the scene at that time. She did not pay attention to her son, which caused Lucas to be kidnapped. When she realized it, Lucas had already been carried far away. All the Browns were here—Hank and Chelsea with their parents. Jessica was not on good terms with Chelsea and she did not like Lucas. She could not be bothered to appear insincere, so she was not with them. Truth be told, Jessica was feeling guilty—she was afraid of facing Liberty and Serenity. She was also scared of them noticing her guilt and suspecting her. “Come here, Sonny. Let Aunt Elisa carry you.”Elisa waved her hand at Sonny. He had always liked his pretty Aunt Elisa. He packed the toys he had not finished assembling immediately and walked toward her. She lifted him after he extended his hands. “You haven’t finished assembling them?” Elisa asked softly. The child shook his head. He said, “Dunc is busy. I can do it if Dunc teaches me
