Chapter 31

Kimberly wore a mask of sincere concern, one so deliberate it seemed she feared Julian might not notice it otherwise.Even Camille was almost convinced. She gave a slight smile and said, "Don't worry about it. The truth will come out eventually."Then, she turned and left.Kimberly's expression went rigid, her back straightening under the weight of Julian's stare.When she finally met his eyes, she offered a fragile, pitiful look and said, "Julian, I never would've come if I'd known Dr. Stowell hated me this much."Julian calmly looked away and picked up Xavier. "Stay away from her from now on."It was clear he was talking to Kimberly.She froze for a moment. A flicker of coldness flashed in her eyes as she lowered her gaze. "Julian, are you sticking up for Dr. Stowell?"Sticking up for Camille?Julian frowned but said nothing. His voice was even as he finally spoke. "She's calculating. You'll get hurt if you let her get too close. I'm telling you this because I care about you

Chapter 32

Julian left the walk-in closet with a dark tie.Leaning back against the wardrobe, Camille let out a small sigh. Somehow, she knew that even if he discovered the truth, it wouldn't bother him.…Kimberly had just arrived at Centrum Hospital that morning, but she knew right away something wasn't right.Nurses were whispering and pointing behind her back. She edged closer to hear what they were saying."Can you believe it? The incident with Dr. Walsh getting pushed down the stairs was a setup. She did it to herself. Poor Dr. Stowell had nothing to do with it.""Dr. Walsh's boyfriend is Mr. Hatcher, isn't it? Looks like Dr. Stowell just got caught in bad luck, framed for it.""Remember when Dr. Walsh accused Dr. Stowell of stealing her bracelet? Looks like that, too, might have been—"Before the nurse could finish her sentence, another nurse spotted something. Her face went pale, and she lunged forward, cutting off her colleague mid-word.When the nurses finally saw Kimberly, the

Chapter 33

Kimberly saw the subtle look of sadness in Camille's eyes and took a step forward, wearing a smug expression."So what if you've restored the footage? Even if Julian knew the truth, do you really think he'd make things difficult for me over a toy like you?"Get real. Stop getting ahead of yourself. Julian will never believe you."Feeling triumphant, Kimberly turned to leave.Just then, Camille's voice rang out from behind her. "I recorded every single word you just said."Kimberly stopped dead and spun around, her eyes on the pen in Camille's hand. She seized Camille's wrist. "How dare you record me!"Before Camille could respond, Kimberly easily ripped the pen from her hand and threw it on the floor, where it broke into pieces right away.Kimberly scoffed. "Camille, I'd suggest you stop getting ahead of yourself."Camille's eyes flicked to the broken pen at Kimberly's feet, and a laugh escaped her. "You keep insisting I'm getting ahead of myself. If you were truly confident, w

Chapter 34

Julian stood frozen, stiff as a board. A hug that once would've made him happy now left him feeling nothing at all.Kimberly glanced at the person by the door."Julian, no matter what happens, you'll believe me, won't you?"He looked out the window and hummed without really thinking about it.She smiled. "You're the best, Julian."Camille hesitated outside the door, unable to bring herself to open it.Kimberly saw her but remained silent.Camille knew Kimberly had asked the question on purpose, right in front of her. Julian's answer had been exactly what she'd expected.She gripped her phone tightly. What difference would it make, even if she showed him the surveillance footage to prove her innocence?Kimberly had been right. No matter what, Julian would always believe her.Camille let out a self-deprecating laugh in her head, turned, and walked away.…That afternoon, Camille headed to the law firm to review the case file. She'd hoped to find someone willing to take on Har

Chapter 35

The mattress sank beneath them as Julian pinned Camille down, his body pressing so hard against hers that every curve seemed to lock perfectly into place.A sudden shift in him made her stiffen. One part of his body went completely still, rigid and unyielding, like a corpse that had been dead for ages."Julian! Isn't Kimberly enough for you?" she demanded.She'd always known he'd never force himself on her, but now, she wasn't so sure.In the past, Camille had yearned for him, but now every part of her resisted. The thought of him coming to her after being with Kimberly, pretending as if nothing had happened, filled her with disgust.Julian couldn't have missed her resistance. He held her gaze, his eyes darkening with a fierce intensity.Her face was breathtaking. He'd known that for a long time. But it was the tiny dark brown mole at the corner of her eye that made her beauty truly dazzling, without ever feeling vulgar.It also gave him a strange, inexplicable sense of familiar

Chapter 36

Over the next two days, all of Camille's surgeries were mysteriously reassigned, and, without warning, she was transferred to the emergency department.Clutching the transfer notice, Camille marched straight to Clifford's office and knocked. When he called out, she pushed the door open and stepped inside.She didn't waste a word. "Dr. Fogarty, I'm not under your direct supervision. So tell me. What gives you the right to transfer me to another department without my consent?"Clifford paused, a dismissive snort escaping him as he glanced up from his work. "The emergency department is short-staffed. You've had a relatively light schedule the past few days, so I transferred you there to help out. Is there a problem?""A light schedule?" Camille let out a short, bitter laugh. "All six of my surgeries in the past three days were reassigned for no reason. Our department is already understaffed. How are the other surgeons supposed to get any rest?""That's none of your concern," Clifford

Chapter 37

After listening to Kimberly and Clifford, Aaron snapped, "Dr. Stowell, is this what you meant by Dr. Fogarty's decision? You're a doctor, and yet you can't even stay on duty. How can you still call yourself one?"Kimberly cast her eyes downward, a faint smile playing on her lips.Then, as if trying to smooth things over, she said, "Don't get too worked up. Maybe Dr. Stowell really did have something important, which is why she missed the surgery.""Important? What could possibly be more important than a human life?" Aaron barked, his voice cutting and stripped of any respect.Clifford turned to Camille, his face a mask of righteous fury. "This is entirely on you, Dr. Stowell. I'm reporting every detail to Dr. Meyer and the higher-ups. Whatever comes next, you'll deal with it on your own."Camille's fists slowly unclenched. She bit her lip, then sneered. "Nice little show, pinning all of this on me."Clifford's face went grim as he exchanged a glance with Kimberly. "Camille, why a

Chapter 38

Camille had just returned to her office when a message from Seth came in.She arrived at the Sleep Clinical Research Institute around 4:30 pm and was surprised to realize it was the very place the project proposal Kimberly had handed her had come from.Seth rose to greet her with a playful tease. "I thought you'd gotten lost, Millie. The place isn't exactly a maze, but it's easy enough to lose your way."She crossed the room to the couch and lowered herself onto it, her gaze sweeping over the space. "Do you own this place?"Seth poured himself a cup of coffee. "No. I only own shares here. Why?"Camille shook her head. "You actually got statements from those people?""Of course." Seth pulled a slip of paper from his pocket and laid it on the table. "Take a look."Camille unfolded it, and the name "Hatcher" practically leaped off the page. Her mind went blank for a second.Hatcher? Could it be Julian?But she'd put him to the test that night, and he hadn't flinched. Could he rea

Chapter 39

When Camille finally returned home, a subtle weariness shadowed her features. She got a text from Joe, saying that Clifford's unauthorized transfer of her department had been reported to the higher-ups.It had thrown her scheduled surgeries into chaos, but instead of facing any real consequences, Clifford had only been issued a warning.The news barely surprised Camille. She knew all too well that as long as no one had died, something like this would simply be swept aside. She didn't bother to reply.Instead, she reached into her pocket, pulling out the crumpled note. She stared at it for a long moment before tearing it to shreds and letting them fall into the trash.…The next morning, a call jolted Camille awake. Still half-asleep, she fumbled for her phone on the nightstand and answered without even looking at the screen."Ms. Stowell, are you awake?"The sound of it instantly cleared the fog from her mind, and she finally looked at the caller ID. It was Naomi."Ms. Wilkins?

Chapter 40

Camille couldn't believe Julian would be so ruthless. He'd really do anything for Kimberly."Mind your tone, Camille!" Greg snapped, clearly siding with Julian. Then, he turned to Julian with a smile. "Don't mind her, Julian. She's just impatient."Camille said nothing, her eyes locked on Julian.Julian leaned back in his chair, meeting her gaze. "Harvey assaulted someone. The victim's family refused to settle. They want him in jail. What? Do you think that because your family's with the Hatchers, you can just ignore the court?"Greg and Erica recoiled, their faces going pale.Camille clenched her fists. "He hurt someone badly and deserves to be punished. But did you even bother to check if that's true?"Julian frowned.She continued, "I met with the lawyer and went through the entire case file. Harvey didn't start it. He was acting in self-defense, but he went too far!""I'm not a lawyer," Julian said.A sudden, sharp constriction seized Camille's chest, teetering her on the
