Chapter 218

Author: Brave Veteran
"Just admit it, Ms. Sloan. You clearly care more about that guy. If not, then why didn't you have the guts to stand up to me for your ex-husband when we were at the clinic?" Jane inquired.

She wanted Camilla and Jeremy to see each other more clearly, so she stood up and held the phone up in front of Camilla.

When Camilla came face to face with Jeremy's familiar face, she stiffened and felt rooted in place.

After a moment, she opened her mouth and reiterated the excuse she had used countless t

    There was a large SUV on the road that led up Mount Laury."Ms. Cooper, are you sure that Angela will follow your instructions? This is someone's life we're talking about."The person asking the question was a burly woman in the driver's seat, who was dressed in the uniform of the estate's security team.Jane sat in the back of the car, looking impassively at the cableway ahead of them. "She's ambitious, and I need her. That life will be proof of her loyalty. If she does it, someone should take charge of Greenvale."The burly woman nodded thoughtfully.Jane did not say anything else. There were some things that she did not have to tell her subordinates too much about. She could not trust anyone around her completely.Jane watched the raindrops pattering incessantly on the glass.She thought about the conversation they'd had in the clinic's office before setting out for Mount Laury.It was Angela who had come to her first.…"Ms. Cooper, I've thought long and hard about it, an

    "I'm also a little worried about Angela," Jeremy said.Jane's eyes glinted slightly. "What are you worried about?"Jeremy looked solemn."I've known her for a while now. As far as I know, her strengths lie in analysis and deduction. When she does something, she'll analyze the probability of success. However, she said that there was zero chance of rain today, but the only source of data she used was the weather forecast."I only just thought about it, but she's acting a bit strangely."As he spoke, he pulled his clothes tighter around himself. "Let's not talk about it right now. I'll be back soon, so take care of each other."After he rushed out of the cave and into the rain, silence fell in the cave. The only sound was Camilla's gentle breathing as she lay asleep on the ground.Suddenly, Jane took out her phone from her pocket and tapped on it lightly.It lit up. Her phone was still working!She sent a message. "Watch him carefully and ensure that he's safe."She tapped on he

    Jane nodded slightly. "Yes. We do. If someone hurt him, I wouldn't be able to hold back."She lowered her eyes slightly, and her hair fell haphazardly over her forehead, hiding her face."I'd want to murder them."Jeremy was shocked.They had spent so much time together over the past few days that he had almost forgotten how even the entrepreneurs from Jasmere had been terrified of her back at the estate.If Jeremy hadn't been a doctor, he would never have met someone like her.Jane's casual mention of murder made him feel that she might already have done it several times! She certainly had the means to do so.Jeremy laughed wryly and said, "I can tell that you're very fond of your brother. However, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for you to talk about killing people to me? I'm a doctor who's supposed to save people."Jane suddenly looked up. Her red lips curved up slightly, and her eyes crinkled into a mischievous smile. "I was joking. Look at how scared you are."He

    Jeremy reached out and slung Camilla unceremoniously over his shoulder.Camilla was jolted awake, and her eyes turned red at once. "You just left me, didn't you? Put me down!" she said defiantly. However, she was so weak that she could barely be heard. She struggled feebly to express her displeasure."Don't move!" Jeremy said curtly.Camilla was startled. Unexpectedly, she obeyed and stopped moving. She hung her head and buried her face into Jeremy's neck. Her leg felt less painful now that she was suspended in the air.Even the ice-cold rain seemed warm, and she actually fell fast asleep despite the bumpy path.Jeremy soon reached the cave. It was cramped and narrow, but it was just enough for the three of them.Jeremy put down the woman in his arms carelessly, which made Camilla frown in her sleep. He opened his backpack and took out some basic first aid items to treat the wound on Camilla's leg.Jane sat beside them, rubbing her wet hair dry with a towel. She said impassi

    The clear and sunny sky was now filled with dark and stormy clouds. There was another rumble, and a blinding flash of lightning pierced the clouds.The rain grew even heavier. The raindrops fell incessantly on the trees like sharp swords.The rainwater swiftly washed away the blood that Jeremy had squeezed out of Jane's calf."Does your leg feel numb? Can you still stand?" he asked as he continued attending to her.Jane did not reply. She merely looked at Jeremy's face. The rain slid down his cheeks and dripped off his chin.His eyelashes were beaded with water. Whenever he blinked, she was reminded strongly of times in the past when he had come to her in tears.Jane couldn't help reaching out to caress his face. She murmured, "I won't forgive anyone who hurt you, you scamp."The rain hammered down on the trees around them and splashed down noisily.Jeremy did not hear her clearly. "What?""Nothing. It doesn't feel numb and just hurts a little. I can still walk."As Jane spok

    Besides, Jeremy had always taken care of all these preparations for Camilla in the past.Camilla couldn't help looking ahead at Jeremy's figure, with his backpack on his shoulders."Jeremy!" she called.He paused and looked back at her.Camilla tried her best to sound gentle. "Do you have any water?"Jeremy glanced at Zachary, who looked parched. He immediately understood.He gripped the straps of his backpack tightly. "Sorry, but I didn't bring any for you two."He kept going without looking back.Camilla pressed her lips together and clenched her fists tightly.At that moment, Angela turned back. "There's a convenience store just five minutes up ahead. You'll be able to buy water there, and we'll reach it very soon."Camilla nodded and said to Zachary, "We've got nothing at the moment. Hold on for a little while. I remember that there are cable cars halfway up the mountain in the tourist area, so when we reach them, I'll take you home. "You're not well, and I don't think
