Chapter 104 He Did That Intentionally âThatâs none of your business!â
I had never felt more stupid for caring about him.
âYouâre right, it is none of my business. Benjamin told me you nearly drank yourself to death, but Iâm kind of disappointed that you didnât actually die. Please tell your men to not inform me unless itâs your funeral.â
I then turned around and walked toward the door after saying that.
Damn it, I shouldnât have come! Why was I even worried about this piece of sh*t?
I thought to myself as I opened the door, only to see Camille standing outside with her eyes red and swollen.
Oh, for f*ckâs sake! Why am I so unlucky? Now I have to deal with another piece of sh*t!
âLilianaâ¦â Camille took a step back in fear when she saw me.
I wasnât sure why she reacted that way toward me, but I didnât care and simply walked past her.
I didnât see Nicholas outside the ward, so I was about to give him a call when I saw Yvonne coming over.
âDr. Baker!â I waved at her.
âAh, are you here to visit Dominic?â Yvonne asked straightforwardly.
My cheeks puffed up with anger as I replied, âHmph! Why would I visit someone that lively and well?
Besides, heâs got his fiancée with him, so Iâd just be a third wheel there!â
Yvonne adjusted her glasses and asked, âArenât you curious as to why he ended up being hospitalized?â
I shook my head. âIâm not interested in his affairs.â
He just said it was none of my business, and I wasnât about to repeat that same mistake.
Yvonne ignored my reply and continued, âHe drank too much and suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding.
If this happens again, he could very well meet his maker on the spot.â
I felt my chest tighten upon hearing that, but I responded by saying, âOnly the good die young, so heâs going to live a pretty long life.â
âHe actually did that with the intention to kill himself.â
So what? Thatâs none of my business!
âIâve got some business to attend to, so Iâll be on my way now. See you, Dr. Baker.â I grew impatient and didnât want to stay there any longer.
I gave Nicholas a call after saying goodbye to Yvonne, and he asked me to wait for him at the elevator.
He said he would come over right away, but Camille came before he did.
The mere sight of that pretentious look of hers made me extremely uncomfortable, and she was the shameless type who would cling to you even when you keep trying to brush them off.
âThank goodness, youâre still here. Thereâs something I want to talk to you about, Liliana.â
I said coldly, âWe have nothing to talk about.â
âDonât be like that, Liliana. I just wanted to apologize to you for what happened at the reunion. I didnât know Dom would treat you like that.â
I let out a sarcastic chuckle. âOh, please⦠Dominic isnât here right now, so you can drop the act now, you pretentious b*tch! Apologize? Donât make me laugh! I bet you were overjoyed at the time, werenât you?â
Camille froze for a second and had an innocent look on her face.
However, that look quickly disappeared and was replaced by an annoying, gleeful grin.
âOf course! Itâs nice to see how much Dom hates you!â
âYeah, you look a lot easier on the eyes when youâre being your b*tchy self!â I said with a snicker.
Wanting to anger her even further, I stroked my chin and continued in a serious tone, âCamille, do you know what the difference is between your biggest strength and your biggest weakness? Well, Iâll tell you.
Your weakness is you being a b*tch, and your strength is you being too much of a b*tch.â
âYouâ¦â Camilleâs face went stiff from anger, and I could see her going through a myriad of expressions in an instant.
Not wanting to waste any more of my time on her, I waved at her like she was an annoying fly and said, âDominic is waiting for you, so you should get going now.â
âIâm sorry, Liliana! Iâm sorryâ¦â Camille grabbed my arm and began crying all of a sudden.
I brushed her hand off in disgust. âDonât touch me! Get your crazy a*s away from me!â
Man, she really is something! Glaring daggers at me a second ago, and breaking into tears the next? Iâm surprised she hasnât won an Oscar yet!
Camille grabbed onto my arm once again. âI know Iâve wronged you, and that I shouldnât be with Dom! Iâll leave him so you can have him back, Lili!â
Her pretentious act was really starting to anger me, and I shoved her off in response.
âWhat the h*ll is wrong with you? You hit yourself on the head when you were little or something?â
She then pretended to fall down from being shoved, much to my disgust.
Wow, really? Canât you at least be a little more creative? That was such a light push! If you like falling so much, how about you try falling down a flight of stairs next time? Besides, Dominic isnât here, so whatâs the point of doing this?
âWho are you putting this act up for?â
âIâm not acting, Lili! Please, you have to believe me!â
Camille stood up and tried to grab me a third time, but I pushed her away really hard this time.
âCut it out, damn it! Get the h*ll away from me!â
âCamille!â
I turned around when I heard someone call out to Camille, and saw a woman approaching from the corridor.
I had no idea who she was, but I knew for a fact that she wasnât Camilleâs mom.
I had been to Camilleâs house for dinner countless times when we were still close friends in university, so I knew how her mom looked like, and this woman looked nothing like her.
âWhen did you get here, Milena?â
The woman helped tidy up Camilleâs hair and said with a gentle smile, âI got here a while ago and was asking the doctor about his condition.â
Camille had a concerned look on her face as she asked, âSo, what happened earlierâ¦â
âYes, I saw everything. Are you all right? Youâre not hurt, are you? Dom worries a lot about you, so it would pain him to see you getting injured like this.â
âAw, shucks!â Camille blushed like a shy little girl.
Um⦠What on earth is going on here? Judging by the way this woman speaks, she seems to be very close with Dominic and Camille⦠Could she be a relative of some sort?
The woman gave Camille a pat on the back of her hand, and the look in her eyes changed when she turned toward me.
âSo, youâre the woman who slept with my son?â she asked with an icy-cold and penetrating gaze.
Huh? Her son? Who? Dominic?
I was so shocked that my legs nearly gave out underneath me.
Where the h*ll is Nicholas when I need him?
