LOGINChapter 153The crystal lights in the luxurious hotel ballroom still glowed warmly even though the engagement party was nearly over. The orchestra music played softly in the corner of the room, blending with the conversations of the guests who were still enjoying dinner and wine. On the main stage, the white and silver floral decorations still looked magnificent around Juna and Ziyi, who had been continuously receiving congratulations.Ziyi truly looked beautiful that night. The long white gown with pearl details framed her body elegantly, while her black hair was styled into a simple updo with a few loose strands falling softly beside her face. Beside her, Juna wore a matching white suit that made him look much fresher compared to two years ago when he had first awakened from his coma.Aurora and Daven were even still busy running around near the stage while laughing with some of their cousins.But amid the warm atmosphere, Camelia instead began to look restless.She sat on one of th
Chapter 152Two years passed far faster than Camelia had ever imagined. Many things changed during that time. Collyn Group stood firmly once again, major projects began running smoothly, and Camelia’s name slowly became widely known in the international design world. Her work appeared several times in famous fashion and interior magazines, and even some celebrities began wearing her designs.But behind all those achievements, there was one thing that never truly changed.Calvin still had not woken up.That night, the ballroom of a luxurious hotel in the city center was crowded with invited guests. The crystal lights reflected softly throughout the room, while the sound of piano music made the engagement atmosphere feel warm and elegant.That day was Jonathan and Ziyi’s engagement day.Camelia stood near the decoration table while watching the guests who were beginning to fill the room. The navy satin dress she wore looked simple compared to the other guests, yet it still looked elegan
Chapter 151The ICU room fell silent again after Calvin’s fingers, which had seemed to move earlier, became still once more without any response at all. Camelia was still holding his hand tightly, her eyes fixed on the man’s face while holding her breath, hoping Calvin’s eyelids would move again.But there was nothing.The monitor beside the bed continued beeping steadily like before. No change. No sign that Calvin was truly conscious.Slowly, the hope that had briefly lit up inside Camelia’s chest fell again.She lowered her head slowly while letting out a trembling breath.“I thought…” she whispered softly, “I thought you woke up…”Her hand was still holding Calvin’s tightly as if she was afraid to let go even a little.A few seconds ago, her heart had been beating so fast. For a moment, she truly believed Calvin would open his eyes like Juna had. But it turned out to be only a small reaction from Calvin’s body without any consciousness at all.Camelia closed her eyes briefly, holdi
It had been almost a week since Camelia stayed in Singapore accompanying Jonathan through his recovery. Juna’s condition was gradually improving. His face was no longer as pale as it had been on the first day he woke up, and his steps had become steadier, although he still needed assistance from time to time. That morning, the two of them finally returned to New York using the Ashford family’s private jet.Throughout the flight, Camelia glanced at Juna several times as he sat by the window reading company reports on his tablet. Just seeing her brother doing something as simple as that was enough to ease her heart.“You just recovered. Don’t start working right away,” Camelia scolded softly while glancing at the tablet screen.Juna snorted quietly without looking away. “I’m just reading.”“Reading reports is still considered working.”“You’ve become talkative now.”Camelia smiled faintly. “Because there’s something else that needs to be taken care of.”Juna finally turned his head slow
Chapter 149Juna was still looking at Camelia with a faint furrow in his brows. The effects of the medication and the long sleep had not completely cleared his mind yet, but he could clearly see the change in his younger sister’s face. There was exhaustion she could not hide, there was sadness that even Camelia’s small smile could not cover.“Who is he?” Juna asked again softly.Camelia lowered her head for a moment before finally answering quietly, “Calvin.”That name made Juna fall silent for a few seconds. His gaze turned slightly sharp even though his body was still weak on the bed.“Calvin is in a coma?” his voice sounded hoarse.Camelia gave a small nod.“Why do you still care about him?” Juna asked softly but clearly. “Wasn’t he the man who hurt you the most?”Camelia let out a slow breath. She had already expected that question would come sooner or later.“Brother…” she smiled faintly while gently playing with her brother’s fingers. “Everything has changed.”Juna remained sile
Chapter 148The plane carrying Camelia finally landed in Singapore close to noon. The city sky looked bright after the morning rain, and the roads were still slightly wet when the car picking her up drove toward the hospital where Jonathan was being treated. Since earlier, Camelia had barely spoken. Her hands kept gripping her phone, while her thoughts were mixed between hope and fear.Juna had been asleep for far too long.And now, when there was finally good news, Camelia was instead afraid of hoping too much.The car stopped in front of the towering international hospital building. As soon as the door opened, Camelia immediately got out quickly. Two Ashford bodyguards followed behind her, but the woman had already walked into the hospital lobby with hurried steps.“Good afternoon, Miss Camelia,” one of the nurses who recognized her greeted.Camelia immediately gave a small nod. “How is my brother?”“His condition is stable. Mr. Jonathan was moved to a VIP inpatient room this mornin
Chapter 22Night finally fell.Aurora ran lightly from the living room toward the door as soon as the bell rang, followed by Daven, who walked faster than usual.“Uncle Juna!” Aurora shouted happily.The door opened, revealing Juna, who had just set down his small suitcase. Before he could say anyt
Morning had not fully brightened when Calvin opened his eyes. He was sitting on the sofa in the guest room, his suit hanging on the back of a chair. He had barely slept all night. Every time he closed his eyes, what appeared instead was Camelia’s face, standing stiffly in the restaurant the night b
Chapter 19The apartment door closed softly behind Camelia.Camelia immediately leaned against the door. Her chest rose and fell unevenly. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, trying to calm the heavy breathing that had plagued her since earlier.“Finally…” she murmured softly.Aurora turned her
Chapter 16The door to Calvin’s apartment opened just as the clock hands pointed to nearly midnight.Samantha walked in with quick steps, kicking off her high heels carelessly. The moment she saw Calvin standing in the living room, still wearing his work shirt, her face immediately brightened.“Cal
