Chapter 13

Camelia Collyn closed her eyes. Her body lay on the sofa in Jonathan’s apartment, a thin blanket covering her. It was already late at night, the city lights faintly visible behind the curtains. That quiet atmosphere instead made her mind noisy.

Old memories slowly surfaced.

Ten years ago.

At that time, Camelia was only fifteen years old. She was still a clumsy teenage girl, overly confident. That day, the sea looked calm. Small waves, shimmering blue water. Camelia went in too far without realizing that her feet no longer touched the sand.

At first, she did not panic. Then her body was dragged by the current.

Water rushed into her nose and mouth. She tried to swim upward, but the more she struggled, the more her body sank.

“H-help…” Camelia choked. Her hands flailed wildly.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed her arm.

“Hold on to me! Don’t let go!”

The voice sounded panicked, but firm.

Camelia was pulled up to the surface. She coughed hard, seawater spilling from her mouth. Her

    Chapter 14Two months passed quickly, but for Calvin Ashford, his days felt heavier instead.That morning, Calvin had just sat down at the dining table when nausea hit him again. He covered his mouth, stood up in a hurry, and rushed to the bathroom.“Ugh—”The sound of vomiting was clearly heard.Samantha, who was choosing a suit in the bedroom, immediately turned around in panic. “Calvin?”A few minutes later, Calvin came out with a pale face. He rinsed his mouth, then leaned against the wall.“This is already the third time today,” he muttered irritably.Samantha approached him. “Is your stomach still hurting?”“It’s not pain,” Calvin replied while rubbing his chest. “It’s nausea. It feels strange.”“You already went to the doctor last week,” Samantha said carefully. “They said it’s not because of your stomach.”“That’s what makes me even more annoyed,” Calvin snapped. “If it’s not my illness, then what is it?”Samantha fell silent. She also found it strange, but she did not dare sa

    Chapter 12Jonathan’s apartment was located on the upper floor of a modern building. Large windows revealed the view of a busy city. Camelia stood near the window, gazing at the streets below. Her hand held a cup of warm tea, but her mind was not truly in the room.“You can stay here for now,” Jonathan said as he removed his jacket and hung it on the back of a chair. “Tomorrow I still have work to handle here. And the day after tomorrow, I’ll return to America.”Camelia immediately turned around. “To America?”“Yes,” Jonathan replied casually. “Most of my business is there.”Camelia shook her head quickly. “I don’t want to go back to America.”Jonathan stopped moving. “Why?”Camelia took a breath. “I don’t want to go back there.”Jonathan looked at his sister carefully. “Because of your ex-husband?”Camelia did not answer right away. A few seconds passed before she finally nodded slowly. “Yes, I don’t want to meet my ex-husband.”Jonathan crossed his arms. “I won’t let him get close t

    Chapter 11The sharp smell of antiseptic stung Camelia’s nose as her consciousness slowly returned. Her eyelids felt heavy. She tried to open her eyes, then closed them again because the light was too bright.“You’re awake?”A man’s voice sounded near her. His tone was firm, but there was something clearly restrained beneath it.Camelia blinked again, this time forcing her eyes open. The white ceiling of the hospital greeted her gaze. She frowned.“Where… am I?” Her voice was hoarse.“The hospital,” the man answered shortly. “You fainted on the street.”Camelia turned her head slowly. Beside her bed stood a tall man in a neat suit. His face was unfamiliar, yet somehow felt… not entirely unfamiliar.“I…” Camelia swallowed. Her hand moved reflexively to her stomach. “My baby?”The man watched the movement carefully. “The doctor said you’re fine. Your fetus is fine too. You’re just exhausted and malnourished.”Camelia let out a long breath, relief mixed with weakness. “Thank goodness…”S

    Ronal entered Calvin’s office again with a tense expression. His steps were slower than before, as if he had already anticipated his master’s reaction.“Young Master,” he called carefully.Calvin was still standing near the window. He didn’t turn around. “What is it now?”Ronal swallowed. “I apologize. The woman we found… turned out not to be Madam.”The air in the room instantly grew tense.Calvin turned around slowly. His gaze was sharp. “What did you say?”“From a distance, her features looked similar, but after further investigation, her identity was different,” Ronal explained quickly. “She is not Madam Camelia.”Several seconds passed in oppressive silence.“Incompetent,” Calvin finally said, cold and heavy. “Utterly incompetent.”Ronal lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Sir.”“Search again,” Calvin ordered without hesitation. “Expand the area. Don’t limit it to this city. I don’t care how.”“Yes, Sir.”Calvin stepped closer. “And tell the team,” he continued, his voice low but threa

    Calvin closed his eyes in his office chair. The lights in the office were still brightly lit, but his head felt heavy. Somehow, his thoughts had been drifting more and more often without permission. He took a deep breath, then slowly let it out.Yet the memory still came.That night, the rain was pouring heavily. Calvin came home late, his steps unsteady. The smell of alcohol clung strongly to his body. As soon as the front door opened, Camelia immediately stood up from the sofa.“Calvin?” Her voice trembled. “You drank again?”Calvin didn’t answer. He kicked off his shoes carelessly, then took a few steps before his body swayed. Camelia reflexively grabbed his arm.“Don’t touch me,” Calvin growled as he brushed her hand away, though his strength didn’t match his words.Camelia didn’t step back. Her face turned pale. “You’re very cold. Have you taken your medicine?”“Annoying,” Calvin replied. He rubbed his temple. His breathing was heavy, his forehead starting to sweat.Camelia looke
