The Miracle of You Chapter 102
Camille flinched reflexively, not knowing what to expect.She was always wary whenever he did something unexpected, like touching her out of the blue when he usually never did, especially when they were at the company. Besides, Christian Callahan wasn’t exactly the touchy-feely type.But today, he seemed to be possessed by something, and that made her feel even more wary. She could no longer predict what he might do next, and that was a little scary.“What’s with that reaction?” Christian burst into a chuckle. “You’re acting like I’m about to murder you or something.”She stepped aside and went to the fridge. She had already taken all the ingredients that she needed, but she just wanted a reason to get away from him. “I already told you what I know. Please leave me alone. I’m hungry,” she said.“Then we should eat together,” he suggested. “I’m rather famished myself.”“No,” she said automatically. “I’d rather eat my meal alone, thank you.”“What a cold woman you are,” he remarked ligh

Christian’s smile faltered slightly.“So, you mean to say that only Michael McGregor will have your heart?” he said. “No one else?”“Who even said that I’m in love with him? He’s just my friend and nothing more,” Camille said flatly. “I love him, yes, but not romantically. He’s a precious person to me.”Christian suddenly let out a hollow laugh.She looked at him warily. “What’s so funny?”He shook his head and let go of her chin. “Nothing. I just find it amusing, the way you keep lying even to yourself.”That ruffled her feathers a bit. “What the hell are you talking about?”He raised an eyebrow. “Are you telling me that everything he did for you didn’t touch your heart even a little? That when the two of you reunited after so many years, your heart never skipped a beat? That you never once thought of him as an attractive man?” He laughed again. “You may fool yourself, Miss Parker, but not me.”Camille shook her head, feeling her heart pounding in her chest. “You’re wrong,” she said,
The Miracle of You Chapter 104
Camille’s mind began to wander to thoughts that she had refused to think too deeply about out of guilt.What had she ever done for Michael, anyway? She was like a virus in his life. It would only do him good to stay away from her.But she was a selfish woman. She wanted him close to her.She wanted him by her side, but she already had a man “in her heart”… which was actually a lie.Camille felt her heart twist at the thought. If Michael found out eventually, he would be crushed. He might never trust her again.And rightfully so, because she didn’t deserve any sympathy from him. Although she had gotten into this situation in the first place for the safety of her family, there might have been other ways to ensure that without getting involved in Christian’s little schemes.Christian’s world was different from hers. So was Michael’s.She had once lived in luxury and contentment, so she knew what it felt like to be in such an environment, but the Callahans and the McGregors were so high o

“Of course. Personally, I don’t see the point of keeping something like this hidden. After all, it only shows one’s sincerity. It’s not easy to be so devoted to someone for fourteen whole years, you know?” Grady sighed fondly. “Ah, to be young again.”Camille chuckled awkwardly. “Michael — I mean, Mr. McGregor just regards me as a close friend and nothing more. But I am indeed grateful that he still considers me as one of his… confidants.”For some reason, the words just felt wrong after she said them out loud.Camille felt a mixture of complicated emotions swirling in her stomach, and she was too afraid to decipher what they might be. That would only open up a can of worms that she certainly wasn’t ready for.“Hmm… well. As someone who is much older than you two, I can only give you a piece of advice.” Grady’s expression softened. “You should spend more time and treasure those who are precious to you while they’re still here. While you still have the opportunity to do so.”Camille tu
The Miracle of You Chapter 106
Camille remembered doing an extensive background check on Grady some time ago, but she only knew that he had a wife and a son. There was no mention of a daughter.His elderly mother was still alive, but was prone to illness and spent most of her time away from the city, in the country where her other son lived nearby and took care of her. His father, on the other hand, died of cancer a few years ago.So either Grady lied to her for some reason, or he really did have a daughter.But that would mean…Camille closed her eyes.‘Did she run away from home, too?’ she couldn’t help but wonder.‘Did she get disowned by her family?’‘Or did Grady do something to erase her existence from the records?’‘What in the world is going on?’She had no clue. Right now, she was too tired to think clearly. Since she hardly saw or talked to Michael these days and only worked with Grady, she only had new information about Grady to include in the report.“Damn it,” she cursed under her breath.It was so fru

Camille felt the hot sting of tears in her eyes.“What… What can we do, then?” she asked distressedly. “We can’t just give up now! There has to be another way. Isn’t there another doctor who can help? One with a higher success rate than normal except for Colmen?”“I’m afraid not, meine Schwester. Dr. Colmen is the best there is. If we use other doctors, Papa… he might not last long. Other doctors haven’t reached the level of breakthrough that Dr. Colmen has.” Paul let out another sigh. “As much as I hate to admit it, a lot of patients have recovered fully under Dr. Colmen’s treatment. He’s the best we’ve got. But we’ll keep trying other solutions, I can promise you that.”Camille silently wiped away a stray tear that fell down her cheek.The news was shocking, but it made her feel a little better to know that her brothers were there for her father.Well… her adoptive father, to be exact. Though she still didn’t know if she deserved to call him that anymore.“Don’t say that,” Ben had s
The Miracle of You Chapter 108
Camille’s head snapped up at the sound of Christian’s voice.She hadn’t even heard him come out of the office. She must’ve been too out of it to notice!Damn. She was careless.Meanwhile, Christian stood before her desk, gazing at her with a hint of curiosity.Camille immediately looked at the time and almost let out a gasp. It was already this late at night?!“I’m sorry,” she said, closing all the web pages on her computer and shutting it down. Then, she started to pack her things, avoiding Christian’s gaze the whole time.Christian didn’t say anything, just stared at her intently, taking note of her demeanor and the way she avoided his eyes.Even the way she spoke to him just now.It was clear that something had happened, but she was trying her best to appear normal.However, it was obvious that her efforts were failing. If he asked, he was pretty sure that she would refuse to tell him what the problem was.So perhaps the only option he had left was to guess what happened and maybe
The Miracle of You Chapter 109
Camille snatched her wrist away from his grasp and stormed into the elevator, not even waiting for him to enter.Christian watched blankly as the doors closed, and then she was out of his sight.The sound of the dinging elevator rang in his ears for a few seconds until he realized that he was just standing there like a fool.When he returned to their home later on, Camille had already locked herself inside her bedroom and refused to come out, not even to eat dinner. Even Harrietta tried to deliver a tray to her room, but Camille did not even acknowledge her or open the door.Christian went to his room and thought about what had happened. Of course, there had been times before when her patience had finally reached its limit and she had lashed out at him. Things like that weren’t new to him.Usually, he would correct her behavior and either threaten her not to do it again or tease her and make her even angrier.But this time, it seemed different. That pained look in her eyes kept naggin
