Inside the ward, Jane listened as the sound of clicking heels slowly faded into the distance.She smiled."Aren't you going to smooth things over with her?"Jeremy shook his head. "I'm tired."Jane took his hand. As she gently massaged his palm, working the tension out of his muscles, she asked in a pointed tone, "So, where do things stand between you and her now? It seems like you've done quite a lot for her lately. Back at the villa, you even got angry with me because of her."Jeremy caught the faint trace of jealousy in her voice.He paused as the events at the villa came back to him.He said helplessly, "I was planning to treat your brother Eric. He was trying to force himself on a woman. Whether or not that woman was Camilla, I would have stepped in to save her either way."Jeremy glanced at Jane, his voice softening."Even though you kept trying to stop me from treating him, he's still the family you chose. Maybe I'm being a little selfish, but I couldn't bring myself to

Sunlight streamed through the window and spilled across the hospital bed.Jeremy's eyelids twitched.Slowly, he began to wake.He could feel a soft body pressed against him, and his whole body felt a little numb.Luckily, his injured left arm was secured in its cast and resting off to the side, so there was no risk of hurting it again.A faint, clean fragrance drifted into his nose, and the corner of his mouth felt slightly damp.Jeremy slowly opened his eyes and looked down.At some point, Jane had crawled under the covers with him.Her hair was still half-damp, and she had changed into one of the hospital's patient gowns.Jeremy reached out and gently ruffled her hair with his fingers.In a helpless tone, he murmured, "Why'd you go to sleep without drying your hair?"No wonder the corner of his mouth felt damp. Jane had washed her hair and climbed into bed without drying it.The air conditioning in the ward was always set low. She could easily catch a cold like this.Jer

He was right. She, of all people, didn't have the right to say something like that.Camilla bit down hard on her lip.Her situation really was more complicated, though.Her family owed the Larson family. According to her father, Lewis had taken the fall when the Griffin family came after them, all to protect the Sloan family.Camilla wanted to argue back, but this involved the Griffin family. What good would it do to tell Jeremy? It would only give him one more thing to worry about.Besides, judging from what he had just said, if it weren't for Jane, he probably wouldn't have made it to adulthood in one piece.That meant Jane must have saved his life at some point too.Camilla didn't want to embarrass herself any further or give Jeremy another chance to throw her own words back at her, so she simply lowered her head and quietly took the scolding.Jeremy wasn't done."What about you? You're still putting on a show, coming after me on one hand while worrying about him on the oth

As she spoke, a thin mist gathered in her eyes, and they slowly reddened.Jeremy looked down at her. A storm of emotions flickered in his eyes, and it was a long while before he finally spoke."The issues between us can't be fixed just by getting back together. Even if we did, every time I think about you and him, it would feel like being stabbed all over again. How am I supposed to get back together with you?"He continued, "Besides, it's easy for you to say all this. How do I know you didn't give up on him completely, only after you saw him for what he really was? "How do I know that's not why you're treating him this way now? What about before? Whether your heart ever wandered back then… That's something only you know."Camilla immediately refuted. "I'm telling the truth. I've never had feelings like that for him. Not ever."Her voice was urgent, and her face looked haggard and panicked. She hadn't slept all night, and the stress of trying to explain herself without getting t

There was a luxury clothing boutique near the hospital.Camilla was a regular here.The moment she walked in, the store manager came over with a warm smile."Ms. Sloan, the custom-tailored suit you ordered has arrived. Would you like to take it with you today?""Sure. Since I'm here, I'll take it. Let me look around first.""Of course!"The manager began showing her around."This display has a lot of styles that are great for business meetings, along with some sharper but more casual workwear."Camilla nodded absently, but her eyes kept drifting toward the soft pink outfits on the other side of the store.The tips of her ears turned slightly pink.She remembered that when she first started dating Jeremy, she used to dress in a much more girlish style.But she was 25 now, and she was the CEO of a well-known company at that.Was it really appropriate for her to wear something like that?Camilla didn't quite understand it. No matter what she wore, wouldn't it all come off eve
