With a full stomach, Charlotte reluctantly drove back to Solara Gardens with the medicine Jeremy gave her. While riding the elevator, she chose to go to Camilla's place after some hesitation.The house was completely dark. Zachary had been hospitalized, and Camilla hadn't been coming home, so no one had been staying here.Exhausted, Charlotte went to her room, changed her clothes, and went to bed.…At the crack of dawn, Charlotte woke up to a series of loud noises outside her room. She heard pots, bowls, and voices.Then, someone knocked on her door. Charlotte sat up drowsily, annoyed."What's with all the ruckus this early in the morning?" Pouting, she got out of bed to open the door.Upon opening the door, she was surprised to see a slightly tanned lady in a white T-shirt standing before her.Why was there a stranger in the house? Didn't Camilla hate having outsiders in her home?Thinking she was dreaming, Charlotte rubbed her eyes, only to realize she wasn't dreaming at al

Weirded out, Tina couldn't help but say, "Ms. Sloan, if he really is like you described, then you wouldn't even think about mending your relationship. I'm sure your husband has his good points."She had been through all this before, so she could tell that Camilla was just sulking. They were just having a lovers' spat.If she complained about Jeremy as Camilla did, Camilla would only make her pay for it once she made up with him.Hearing that, Camilla's anger subsided. She looked down and said, "He… didn't use to be like this."Camilla recalled how Jeremy was when they just started dating. Back then, he used to tease her a lot. He often tried to cop a feel with her, only to back away shyly whenever Camilla took the initiative.After they got married, Jeremy changed because of Zachary and her parents. However, he still maintained their home well. He didn't drink excessively, and he still came home every night.Even when he gave her the silent treatment, he still took care of her me

At the clinic, Jeremy packed the medicine he had prepared along with other bottles into a box.Angela glanced at him and said, "You don't have to bring anything along. They have a private infirmary, so they'll prepare any equipment and tools you need."Jeremy smiled. "I'm more used to using my own tools and medicine."Seeing that he was adamant, Angela gave up on convincing him and looked out the window. It was noon, but it was cloudy outside, as though it were about to rain.Jeremy packed his luggage and set it aside. "I'm ready to leave. Where's the cab you ordered?"Angela looked away from the window and turned to him. "Just a moment."Jeremy frowned. "Didn't you say we were leaving early? The mansion is located in the suburbs, which is pretty far from here. If we don't leave now, we'll only get there by nightfall."Angela said calmly, "Don't worry. I know that area well. We're going there early just to get used to the place."They already prepared our rooms for us, so we ca

The car had reached the mountain roads. The phone that Jeremy had left on the center console never rang again."Did you block her number? You didn't have to do that."We can still see her after we get back from the estate," Angela said from the backseat. She had put her laptop away.Jeremy continued driving. "No matter how things turn out over there, I'm not planning on going back to the city."He glanced at Angela through the rearview mirror. "Besides, do you really think I can go back?"Angela raised her eyebrows at his words, but she remained calm. "What's that supposed to mean?"Jeremy smiled. "They say Jane has a deep-seated hatred for men. The male doctors who tried to examine her lost their fingers just because they touched her wrist."So, what do you think will happen to me if I try to examine her—or worse, treat her? I'd probably lose more than my fingers, wouldn't I?"Angela's expression shifted as if she were surprised. "You knew?"Jeremy nodded. "Yes, someone told

It was evening by the time Jeremy's car reached the mansion. His surroundings were completely dark. Only the mansion's interior was well-lit.Jeremy looked at the metal gate before him. Several women in uniform stood at both sides of the gate.Their skin was tanned, and their postures were straight. From their silhouettes, Jeremy could tell that they were all well-trained professionals.The estate looked like a medieval castle. The architecture was ancient and elegant.At the center of the yard was a fountain. More than ten cars were parked around it. However, the yard was so wide that it still looked empty despite all the parked cars.Jeremy looked behind him. He could see cars parked on both sides of the mountain road below them.Angela's phone lit up the inside of their car. "Those are the people who didn't qualify for early entrance. They're camping here in advance for networking purposes."Although this event's purpose is to treat Jane, it's more like a gathering for social
