Silence fell at once on the other end of the phone. The only sound was that of heavy breathing."He wouldn't dare!" Harriet's voice was very loud.Camilla actually felt as if it wasn't coming from the other end of the phone, but from the cardiac ward downstairs!"Where in the hospital are you right now? I'll be over at once!" Harriet exclaimed urgently. Camilla could hear the bed creaking. Harriet had obviously gotten out of bed.Camilla lowered her head and said softly, "We're at the VIP Special Care Zone on the fifth floor. Dad's in his office.""Alright. Have a good rest, Camilla, and don't listen to your father's nonsense! I'll go and talk some sense into him right now!" Harriet hung up without waiting for a reply.Camilla slowly put down her phone, and her lips curved into a self-deprecating smile.She had never asked her family for help since becoming an adult. Her deep-seated pride made it impossible for her to back down to anyone.Her pride had always been the most im

Camilla stood rooted to the spot with immense shock. She looked sharply at Ralph, then asked slowly and deliberately, "Where is Jeremy?"Ralph paused, his brow furrowed tightly. He had no idea what had gone wrong. Only Zachary would know the answer now.Ralph shook his head. "I don't know. You'll have to ask Zachary yourself."Camilla's eyes glinted.Zachary was in a coma, and he was in critical condition after his second operation. He couldn't possibly wake up.Her father was either pushing the blame onto someone else or he genuinely didn't know.Camilla hoped it was the latter. She said impassively, "It's alright if you don't know. Once I've rested for a couple of days, I'll hold a press conference."I'll make an announcement about my marriage and pregnancy during the press conference. I'm sure that Jeremy will come back to see me once he sees it."Ralph's expression changed. "Are you crazy? Our family might be headline news by tomorrow because of the trouble you caused t

Over in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Greenvale, Camilla's face appeared on a gigantic television screen.She wore makeup that concealed how haggard she had been over the past few days and accentuated her exquisite beauty."Hello to all the reporters here. I would like to clear the air about the recent incident at Hope Hospital regarding foundations. Dr. Cooper was framed and is entirely innocent. "I'd like to take this opportunity to explain this again to everyone. Jeremy is my husband, and we've been secretly married for many years—"Suddenly, the smooth livestream broadcast of the press conference became noisy and choppy. The signal faltered and finally became a dark screen.Eric sat on an expensive fur couch in front of the television. He toyed with a lighter and lit the documents he had received about Jeremy on fire."Jane, did you think that I wouldn't be able to find information on him because you hid it? I haven't even started to put in any effort, and s

Jane's eyelid twitched when she saw the sly smirk on Eric's face. She immediately knew that Eric must have seen the press conference from Greenvale that day.Jane had been keeping an eye on Camilla recently. When she discovered that Camilla was live-broadcasting a press conference, she cut it off as quickly as possible and blocked the news.However, it was only a temporary measure. The news was sure to spread. Still, she would delay it for as long as she could.Jane had done so because she did not want Jeremy to continue being entangled in that mess, but she hadn't expected Eric to find out.However, it might not be a bad thing.She smiled and nodded. "Alright. There's a slight grudge between her family and me, but if you like her, I'll stop targeting her."Eric was startled. "The Sloans showed you disrespect?"Jane waved a hand. "It was just an incompetent doctor named Zachary who tried to treat my condition with an addictive drug. The Sloans wanted to protect him, so I gave th

Jeremy held a mugwort stick above a smooth, bare arm.They were in a neighborhood of private villas in the city center of Greenvale.The room was wreathed in smoke. Jane was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, wearing a loose nightdress."I've almost finished the medicine you made for me. It actually tastes quite nice."Jeremy continued working."I'm in the midst of making a new batch. If you have a particular flavor that you like, you can tell me."Jane said casually, "The previous flavor matches my taste quite well."As she spoke, she moved slightly and frowned."Mugwort therapy doesn't quite hit the spot. Why don't you massage my back for me instead?"Jeremy was surprised, but he did not comply."Ms. Cooper, I'm a doctor, not a masseuse. After I've done this on your arm, I'll be targeting the acupuncture point on the back of your neck for detoxification."Jane did not seem to hear him. She rolled over and lay face down on the bed."Massage is also a type of treatment.
