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

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

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

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

Christian Callahan shook his head as he looked at her sorry state. This was why he always thought that emotions were a waste. They simply brought you down and distracted you from your goals.‘Such a waste of time,’ he thought.But he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders with a gentleness that was unlike him.The air conditioning was on, and it was raining heavily outside. If she caught a cold or got sick from overwork, she would be useless at her job, and he couldn’t let that happen.He reached out and brushed his fingers lightly across her skin. She was indeed cold to the touch.When he looked at her face again, she looked even more tired than before. He could also tell that she had been crying earlier.‘Indeed, what a waste of emotions.’He sighed internally.She was going to hate him for this, but he had to do it. It was getting more and more annoying to have to deal with her constant irritation towards him, but he supposed that he couldn’t blame her.With all t

Camille could detect a hint of teasing in his newest message. Knowing that Grady talked about her that way made her heart swell, too.It was always nice to get compliments on her hard work. She was always diligent and did her best at everything, so when someone acknowledged that and did not take her for granted, it made her feel appreciated.Christian rarely did that. Whenever he did, it was just a perfunctory compliment, nothing of substance. It meant more coming from Grady because he was experienced and capable in his own right. He was also known to be quick and resourceful in his work.No wonder Christian either wanted him gone or wanted him to work for him. The latter would not be a good decision however, because there was a good chance that Grady would betray him.If there was one word that best described Grady, it was “loyal”. He was very loyal to the McGregor family and had worked faithfully under them for several years.Needless to say, for him to work for another family would

The girl was still staring at her, her back pressed against the wall and her hands clenched in tight fists.Camille took a few cautious steps towards her, and the girl flinched involuntarily.“S… Sorry,” the girl finally croaked, swallowing hard. Her wide eyes darted from Camille to the men on the ground. “I’m… you’re… I mean… thank you.”It was clear that she was struggling to remain calm, but failing.Camille’s features softened.It was then that Michael finally rushed up to her, slightly out of breath. His attention was entirely on Camille, not noticing the way the girl took a step back at his sudden presence.“My god,” Michael breathed out, looking a little ragged. “Camille, you—” Then, as though deciding against what he was about to say, he showed her his phone instead, probably deciding to say it later. “I called the cops. They’ll be here soon.”Camille nodded and turned back to the girl. “Let’s get you out of here, okay?” she said softly.The girl seemed to hesitate. “I… I don’
The Miracle of You Chapter 124
A young woman was pinned against the wall, her eyes wide and terrified as she trembled before the three men surrounding her.She looked so young, probably still in her teens. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a low ponytail, and she was wearing a black hooded jacket, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Basically just casual clothes, with nothing about her standing out.One of the men had a hand over her mouth to muffle her whimpering. Another leaned in close and spoke to her in a sickly sweet tone, apparently taunting her about something.The third man stood a short distance away, probably acting as a lookout, but he seemed to be so involved in what was happening that he failed to see Camille lurking in the shadows.“Come on, sweetheart,” the man closest to the girl crooned. “You made things real hard for my buddy, you know? You think you can just walk away from us like that?”The girl squirmed, trying her best to push the man’s hand away from her mouth.But she didn’t have the strengt

“Hear what?” Michael asked, puzzled.When she didn’t reply and started wandering towards a certain direction, he paused and strained to listen.He really didn’t hear anything, but that was probably because he had been too distracted by Camille.Meanwhile, Camille moved towards the source of the noise, hearing it more clearly now. Maybe it was because of her self-defense lessons and her natural attentiveness to her surroundings, but she could usually pick up on small details that no other person would notice unless they were paying close attention.This time there was another sound, and it was like a low, threatening voice, followed by another scream that sounded even more desperate. They gradually faded, though, as if they were slowly receding.Camille couldn’t let them do that.She walked briskly until she spotted something. An alley. Of course. Alleys, especially dark, narrow ones like this, tended to drive people away out of caution and fear. Crime didn’t disappear in a big city li

Fortunately, when they arrived at the burger joint, no one recognized them or anything. Maybe they did a good job of looking and acting normal.They quickly found a booth in the corner, conveniently away from prying eyes.As they sat down, the familiar smell of grilled burgers and fries filled the air, bringing back a flood of memories.“This place has changed a bit, hasn’t it?” Camille said, marveling at the renovation of the building. Back then, it had been smaller and had dull colors for wallpaper.But now, the surroundings were vibrant, and it certainly looked bigger.Michael grinned. “It has. It’s been ages since we were last here.”They eagerly ordered their usual: cheeseburgers with fries and milkshakes. They didn’t usually eat like this, especially on weekdays, so it was like a nice treat after working so hard.Camille was especially excited. She had been upset earlier, especially after what had happened with Christian, but now all that was fading away in the back of her mind.
The Miracle of You Chapter 121
That last part was out of jest, Camille was sure. It made the corners of her lips threaten to tug upwards.She looked down at her clothes. She was still dressed in her business attire — a fitted blouse and a pencil skirt — and she was also wearing a long coat to stave off the cold. Summer was over now, so the nights were usually chilly.She felt around her pockets and touched the hat that she had hidden in one of them. It was a black beanie that she liked to wear whenever she wanted to hang around outside, but rarely had the occasion to do so because she was always so busy.Her thoughts soon wandered into an uncertain territory.Was it a good idea to have dinner with Michael so late?What if someone saw them?What if…While she was still pondering over what choice to make, another message from Michael came in.‘I thought we could go to that burger place that we used to go to back in high school. We could also get some snacks at the nearby food stalls if you want.’Camille blinked, her
The Miracle of You Chapter 120
When Camille ended the call, she leaned back against the bench, feeling the energy drain out of her.Now, all pretenses were gone. She closed her eyes and allowed herself a moment of peace, feeling the sensation of the evening breeze against her exposed skin.It was a cold night, but she didn’t really mind. The day’s events had taken a lot out of her, and she preferred to cool off rather than simmer in the heat of anger any longer.She could act strong, independent, and reliable in front of her brothers like the big sister that she was supposed to be, but once she was alone with nobody to display that mask to, she was a wreck. A mess of emotions. Someone who had developed a limit that grew shorter and shorter through time.Now, she was a woman who could barely control her anger and frustration, completely unlike the calm teenager she used to be. With these negative emotions making her mood fluctuate often, it made her feel like a shadow of who she once was.‘Since when have I become t
The Miracle of You Chapter 119
After shutting down the computer, Camille cast a glance at the closed door of Christian’s office and felt a grimace contort her features.He had gone home earlier before her, but that was only because he needed to get ready to entertain guests at his father’s mansion tonight. Maybe his relatives were coming to pay a visit, or maybe they were very important clients. Camille didn’t really care.At least she didn’t need to face him again later on. The thought of that kiss that he had forced upon her made her feel like gooseflesh were crawling up her skin. Not a pleasant sensation at all.Camille shook her head vehemently, as if that would help force the memory away.She refused to think about that dreadful incident anymore. If she continued to dwell on it, she would only end up tearing her hair out from anger and frustration.She had more important things to do than let herself sink into rage over Christian’s thoughtless actions.So, she packed her things and headed home.Since she worke

Camille didn’t know how she did it, but she managed to return to her desk without collapsing to the ground or stumbling in her steps.When she reached her chair, she immediately sank into it, feeling the hot vestiges of anger running all over her skin. It was as though lava was overflowing through several parts of her body, not yet evaporating into thin air.‘I need to calm down,’ she thought.When she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror on her desk, she was almost startled at what she saw.Her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot. Her hair was also a little tousled in some angles.In short, she was a mess.She quickly turned away, unable to stomach the sight of herself.She felt so exhausted that she was already longing for the comfort of her bed back at home. To be away from all this confusing, chaotic mess. To slowly untangle all the knots in her mind and try to figure out what to do next.So much had happened in such a short time, and she wasn’t physically an
The Miracle of You Chapter 117
At first, Christian hadn’t planned to kiss her.He wasn’t an impulsive man, but in this particular situation, he found that the urge to do something reckless was quite strong.Not exactly a reckless move, per se, but one that came along with his irritation.It was just that, as he watched Camille’s expression and heard the subtle change in tone in her voice when it came to Michael, Christian felt a growing urgency inside of him that he couldn’t bear to ignore.He could feel it, that her heart was drifting towards another man, that her feelings were growing until they became a big part of her.He felt that time was running out and that if he didn’t act now, she might belong to him physically, but not emotionally.And he would never be able to make her heart waver in the slightest.And oddly enough, despite his pride in the fact that he was not the kind of man who would be carried away by his emotions, the thought of Camille never being able to be completely his unsettled him greatly.S
