Waylon hesitated slightly. “You...”“Are you shy?” Cameron looked at him and raised her eyebrows lightly. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. Just treat me like a man.”Waylon was at a loss for words.Cameron arranged her pillows, and in order to make room for him, she lay on her side with her back facing him and then added, “I don’t move much when I’m asleep. You have my word that I won’t be touching you while you’re sleeping, so don’t worry.”Waylon smiled helplessly, smoothed the blanket on his body, and lay down on his back. The small single bed was indeed a little too crowded for two people, and it was almost impossible to turn over at will.Cameron lay on her side and left a little gap between the two of them, most probably fearing that she would get into contact with the wound on his arm.Waylon stared at the ceiling for a long time, then turned his head to the side and looked at the woman lying beside him with her back facing him. “You really don’t mind this at all,
Daisie walked out from behind the group of men. One of the assassins was stunned and realized something. “Aren’t you the nurse at the nurse station?”Daisie squinted and smirked. “Then are you doctors only because you’re wearing white coats?”The men were at a loss for words.They had wanted to sneak into the hospital in the middle of the night to murder Joaqin, but they did not expect these people to wait here to ambush them ahead of time. It was estimated that the people who had gone after Sunny had also failed.…It was dawn, and a ray of sunlight shone into the room through a crack in the window.Because Cameron had been sleeping in one position, her entire arm was numb when she woke up.She turned over subconsciously and found that there was another blanket on her body, and the other side of the bed was empty.When she rubbed her hand against the space of the bed, there was not even a trace of residual warmth.‘It seems that he’s woken up a lot earlier.’Cameron did some
Cameron tutted. “How dare you glare at me? Do you believe that I’ll pluck all your feathers out now?”Seeing that she was so into competing and having fun with the two chickens, Waylon smiled and shook his head.The two stood on the side of the road and waited for a ride. After a while, a tractor drove past.The tractor was heading for Southernshire, so Waylon and Cameron got onto the tractor for a ride. The sun shone on the two of them, there was no shelter, and the road was bumpy. Thus, the journey back home could be said to be extremely tormenting.When the tractor arrived at the intersection in front of the town, the two got out of the vehicle, and Cameron sprinted to the side of the road, leaned forward, propped her arms against a tree, and vomited.Waylon gave all the change that he had on him to the driver. The driver took a glimpse at Cameron and asked, “Is your wife pregnant? Why is she vomiting so badly?”Waylon cleared his throat awkwardly, but before he could say anyt
Cameron sat down in the chair next to the bed. “What would happen to me? But things are different with you. You’re not as young as you used to be now, so what you should do is escape when you find yourself in a sticky situation. What were you thinking, going head-to-head with Manuel’s men?”Sunny put down the bowl in his hand. “I’m fine. You and Wayne are the ones that I worry about. I can finally rest assured now that you two are alright.”Cameron crossed her arms and did not utter a single word.“By the way, thanks to Daisie, we managed to catch two b*stards who tried to take advantage of the situation that we’re in. Joaqin is still alive, so I’m sure that Manuel will definitely think about assassinating him again.”Cameron looked at him. “So you’re the one who saved him. No wonder.”He explained earnestly, “Cam, no matter what happened between The Serpents and us before this, Joaqin is still the head of the Serranos. He’ll be able to help us to some extent in the future. In the
Cameron picked up the scorpion with a tweezer and placed it on the back of her hand.The scorpion crawled slowly but did not sting her.The man’s scalp went numb just by looking at it.‘There’s actually someone in this world who keeps venomous scorpions as pets! This is so perverted!’Cameron saw his gaze, understood what he was thinking, and sneered. “I can let you go, but I need you to do me a favor. If you can accomplish the task, you’ll be rewarded. But if you don’t, I’ll give you a taste of a venomous scorpion bath.”The man bit the bullet and asked, “What do you want me to do?”“It’s very simple. Spread the fact that Joaqin Serrano is still alive to the public, including Manuel’s intention to murder him.” Cameron approached him. “Can you do that?”He nodded hurriedly. “Yes, yes!”Cameron asked her subordinates to untie him.After the man was released, he fled immediately for fear that Cameron would go back on her word.Cameron came out of The Commune, and Mahina was wai
Waylon consoled. “You’re doing great.”They went downstairs together and saw the butler walking in with a chicken in his hand.Daisie was curious. “What’s the occasion?”The butler didn’t speak, but Cameron walked in from outside and said in a loud voice, “There’s no occasion. Wayne is hurt, and I heard that chicken helps.”Daisie smiled. “You’re so nice to him.”Cameron sounded casual. “I’m nice to everyone.”Daisie didn’t know what to say. Was she overthinking?In the evening, Cameron, Daisie, and Waylon had chicken soup for dinner, which smelled delicious.Cameron handed the chicken soup to Waylon. “The chicken has contributed its life and essence to you, so you should have more of it.”Waylon smiled. “Thanks.”Daisie looked at them while she bit down on her fork, but before she said anything, Cameron handed her a bowl. “You’ve been through a lot in the past two days, so you should drink more too.”Daisie forced a smile. “Thanks.”She thought there was no need to bet bec
Cameron said with a hand under her chin, “Was it Mateo and his men?”Mahina nodded. “Mateo is Joaqin’s trusted aide, and Joaqin trusts him fully. After news of Joaqin’s murder surfaced, he was fine with Florence taking over, but after Manuel took over, he started suspecting him.”Cameron smiled. “Now that Joaqin is still alive and Manuel was the one who tried to murder him, there’s no way that Mateo is going to let it slide.”Mahina pressed her lips together and said in a serious tone, “He won’t, but Manuel has killed the people who spread the rumor. Now, most of the people in the gang don’t dare go against him. So even if Mateo is planning a coup, the men might not follow him.”Cameron didn’t speak.That was human nature. When people’s lives were not at stake, they could just suspect and rise up against anyone. However, when Manuel killed someone to set an example, they knew where they stood. Thus, there was no harm in following the orders of whoever the leader was.Most people
Waylon turned to look at her. “Why do you ask that?”Cameron looked helpless. “He always has a smile plastered on his face ever since you came over. Even Nollace doesn’t receive this treatment.”Waylon smiled. “I guess it’s our fault.”Cameron thought for a while and leaned closer to him. “Are you going to acquire the Southern Clan?”Why else would her father think of them as ‘family’?Waylon looked at how serious she looked and couldn't help but smile. “What do you think?”“I—”The rolled-up newspaper hit her foot, and she looked up at Sunny. “You keep making your own assumptions. There’s no acquisition. Do you think money falls from the sky? Acquisitions don’t happen so easily.”Cameron picked up the newspaper. “How you treat them is so different.”Sunny smirked and looked proud. She just couldn’t understand.“Fine, I’ll leave then.” She gave the paper to Waylon, then turned and left. Daisie was going to go after her, but Sunny stopped her. “Willy, go speak to that kid. H
