Chapter 240

Author: Brave Veteran
Even as these thoughts ran through her mind, the notebook kept surfacing in her memory.

From what she read, Jeremy's care for her, his mother-in-law, was no less than the care he showed Camilla.

Finally, Harriet spoke slowly.

"I don't think this has anything to do with Jeremy. He's not the kind of person who would do something like this."

Ralph's gaze darkened with disbelief when he heard her say that.

He raised a finger, pointing first at Harriet, then at Camilla.

"What did Jeremy do? Did

    He paused, then continued slowly, "If I'm the one treating you, it'll take a long time, and you're going to feel pretty miserable through the whole thing. You might not be able to handle it. So, in the meantime, I'm going to try to get the antidote for you. Just lie here and be good. Don't go anywhere."Charlotte's grip tightened."Are you going to find that woman in the red dress from earlier? That sounds really dangerous. Actually, never mind. I feel pretty fine right now. I don't want the antidote anymore. Why don't you just treat me yourself? I trust you!"Jeremy didn't know whether to laugh or sigh."Let's try to get the antidote first. If I treat you myself, it's going to be rough on you. You might not be able to stick with it."Charlotte immediately held up a finger."I promise I'll cooperate the whole way through!"Jeremy was about to say something else when his phone buzzed with a new message.He picked it up and glanced at the screen."I'm here at the cafe next to th

    "Hey jerk, are you still not coming in? It's been forever!"Jeremy, who was still on the phone at the other end of the hallway, turned toward the voice.Charlotte was standing in the doorway of her hospital room, leaning against the frame with a pout and an unmistakable look of resentment.Jeremy could only sigh.He had barely managed to get his phone back after promising her a hundred times that he was only stepping into the hallway to take a call and would be right back.He had even sternly warned her not to leave the room.Technically, Charlotte hadn't left.She was just standing in the doorway.How long had it even been? Not even a full minute!Clearly, she still didn't trust him.Jeremy gave her a helpless wave, signaling that he would be done soon.Charlotte pouted and called out again."Hurry up!"Jane had heard the exchange from the other end of the phone.Her tone changed slightly and became a little colder."You care about her a lot, don't you?"Jeremy didn't

    So, Camilla was completely disgusted with him now?That didn't matter.As long as his wishes still counted, what difference did it make if things got ugly between them?Zachary had always been a gambler at heart.Staying by Camilla's side, driving Jeremy away, and moving into the Sloan family… All of that was a gamble on his own future.He had already come this far. The plan was more than halfway complete.There was no reason to back down now.Zachary looked up. He was just about to speak when a voice drifted in from outside the hospital room."Ms. Cooper, where are you right now? I can come see you right away if you're free. About Charlotte…"…The familiar voice made both of them freeze.Camilla's head snapped toward the door almost instinctively.Through the glass panel, she could clearly make out a figure walking slowly past.It was Jeremy!But... Hadn't he said he wasn't coming?From what he had just said...Was he out there trying to find a way to help Charlotte?

    Camilla watched him lose his temper without so much as a flicker of emotion.She was already used to it by now.Both her parents had been losing their minds all day. What was one more tantrum from Zachary?She picked up the dirty apple, tossed it into the trash, then pulled out a tissue and wiped her hands."The clinical trials for the drug aren't finished yet. If you refuse to take the cure, what exactly do you plan to do about your condition?"Her calmness and lack of emotion only made Zachary more frustrated.It was like throwing a punch and hitting a pillow.Then, he suddenly remembered Jeremy. Jeremy had reacted the same way to him toward the end. He used to get angry easily, but eventually, no matter how hard Zachary pushed, he barely reacted at all. Wasn't Camilla the same now?The thought immediately put Zachary on edge. Had Camilla really given up on him?He fell silent for a moment, forcing down the anxiety rising in his chest before speaking slowly."Camilla, does

    At Camilla's words, Ralph sighed."Camilla, it won't be long before you go see Zachary's father again. Don't you remember what you promised him last time? You said you'd take good care of Zachary."He added, "Zachary only made those mistakes because he wanted so badly to be with you. His father and I have been through life and death together too. We're like brothers."Blood rushed to Camilla's head.She finally understood why Harriet had lost control earlier.Right now, she wanted to scream too.In the end, she held it back. She only lifted her gaze and asked in a weary voice, "Dad, why should I have to carry the burden of what happened in your generation? Haven't I already done enough? I even sacrificed my own marriage. Isn't that enough?"Ralph's eyes hardened.He let out a cold snort."What exactly is that supposed to mean? Have you never seen how the prestigious families in Jasmere operate? Why do you think those families stay so tightly bound together? It's because they h

    Harriet hurried to speak."No, wait! If you come back, you don't even have to cook. I'll do it. I'll cook, I'll clean, I…"Before she could finish, the elevator chimed, and the doors opened.Jeremy slowly straightened up and left with one final sentence."I can't accept anything you just did or said. Save it for someone who can."He stepped into the elevator.The moment the doors closed, Harriet scrambled to her feet and reached out to block the doors.Before she could do so, someone grabbed her arm."Harriet, what do you think you are doing?" Ralph's face was burning with anger.He had just stepped out of the hospital room and caught his wife on her knees.In front of Jeremy, no less!"Have you lost your mind? What kind of ridiculous stunt was that? You just dragged our reputation through the mud with that!"His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment.Harriet tried to pull free, but his grip only tightened.Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore."Then, what e
