Chapter 1271: Seeking Help

Camille's attitude towards Ayan was actually like that of a friend, not

wanting to put too much pressure on him, just simply interacting with

him as if they were friends.

Timmy hugged Camille's head and responded lovingly, “I'm good, I just

missed you a lot.”

Camille had a smile all over her face, unable to control her laughter.

Ayan also got out of the car, and Timmy called out "Daddy" in a childish

voice, then opened his arms to let Ayan hold him.

Camille quickly greeted Talia, who was dressed casually today. She

had rolled up her pants and was holding a water hose, which looked a

bit funny.

Camille couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mom, are you trying to relive

your childhood today?"

Only then did Talia have someone turn off the water, then she quickly

washed her hands and walked towards Camille. She was barefoot, and

Camille was worried that she might slip, so she quickly went forward to

support her.

Talia said, "I'm really sorry, I wanted to take a break today and didn't

send him to school. I thought of playing with water with him at home,

and then you happened to see us. Let me explain first, the clothes I

dressed him in are waterproof, so he won't catch a cold."

Talia's words made Camille feel a bit uncomfortable. Camille looked at

Talia seriously and said, "Mom, Timmy was raised by you. You can do

whatever you want. You love him just as much as I do, so you don't

have to explain everything to me all the time. I know that everything you

do is for his own good, so don't explain these things. I trust you."

Talia smiled awkwardly and said, "I know you don't mean to blame me.

But I still want to explain clearly so that you won't have any worries or

discomfort in your heart, and it can also avoid misunderstandings. What

do you think?"

Camille smiled and then walked hand in hand with Talia into the house.

She said, "There can't be any misunderstandings between us. After all,

you are the best mother in the world!"

"Oh, if you say that, I'll be proud.”

“Yes, be proud. You deserve to be proud.”

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing,

Ayan had already taken Timmy back into the house. The grand hall of

the Simpson's mansion, which used to be large and spacious, now had

half of it turned into a play area for Timmy.

Ayan was playing with Timmy there, and Camille was chatting with

Talia.

Camille told Talia the purpose of their return today, and Talia looked

towards Ayan and Timmy. She said, "He has really grown up, and his

sense of responsibility has also become stronger. Of course, all of this

is thanks to you. You changed him."

Camille just smiled lightly. In fact, neither she nor Ayan had changed

each other; they had simply accomplished each other.

Because they had lunch scheduled with Grandpa, they couldn't stay too

long at the Simpson's mansion.

Before leaving, Talia said, "If you're not used to living alone after Ayan

goes on his business trip, you can come back to the Simpson's

mansion. If you feel the distance is too far, I can come and pick you up

with Timmy."

"No need, Ayan left the driver for me, so it's quite convenient if I come

back. Don't worry."

Talia nodded, feeling relieved.

The two of them got into their respective cars. Timmy waved goodbye

to both of them, and then Ayan whispered to Talia, "You and Dad are

the only ones who need to know about my business trip. The itinerary is

not to be disclosed to the public.”

Talia nodded, indicating that she understood. She watched them leave

the Simpson's mansion before returning to the house, holding Timmy in

her arms.

Camille and Ayan naturally headed straight to the hospital after leaving

the Simpson's mansion. When they arrived at the hospital, they

followed the usual procedure and took the staff entrance. However,

they unexpectedly ran into Preston's secretary, Quintus, as they were

parking their car and preparing to take the elevator upstairs.

Quintus naturally noticed them too, as he had worked with Camille

before. Their relationship could be considered that of former employee

and former boss.

Quintus nodded slightly at Camille and quickly entered another

elevator.

As Camille watched the elevator rise slowly, she couldn't help but

whisper to Ayan, "Why would Quintus come to the hospital?"

Ayan chuckled at Camille's question and said, "Anyone can come to

the hospital if they're sick.”

Although Ayan responded like this, his gaze still scanned the

surroundings. Then he picked up his phone and sent a message to the

bodyguard stationed at the hospital, reminding him to be alert. The

bodyguard didn't know Quintus, but he could directly ask Kian for a

photo.

Ayan held Camille's hand and spoke softly, “Let's go upstairs first,

taking a different route than usual, okay?"

Camille agreed. She had the same thought in mind, to avoid being

followed.

However, there were no abnormalities along the way, and it took quite a

while before they arrived at the old Simpson's hospital room.

The old Simpson was already sitting at the dining table, holding a

newspaper and looking displeased. The old butler opened the door for

Camille and Ayan, and in a slightly amusing and low voice, he said, "It's

almost noon, and you two are late. He's not happy. Go and appease

him!"

This old man, he really is like a child. When he's angry, he needs to be

appeased.

The two of them walked up to the dining table and sat down. Ayan took

the initiative to serve the old Simpson's food and handed him a fork.

However, the old Simpson remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the

newspaper in his hands.

Ayan was completely ignored, and if the media caught wind of this and

broadcasted it, it would probably cause a significant increase in

Simpson Group's stocks. After all, Ayan, who wields considerable

influence in the business world, being ignored by the old Simpson was

quite a spectacle.

Camille couldn't help but find it amusing, but Ayan continued to make

an effort. He whispered, "Grandfather, there is a reason for our visits. If

possible, can we talk while we eat?"

He asked softly, but the old Simpson showed no sign of wanting to

speak. On the contrary, his face remained stern and extremely

displeased.

Ayan shook his head helplessly and had to put down his fork, sending a

pleading look to Camille.

Camille pursed her lips and spoke softly, "Grandfather, we actually

arrived at the hospital on time. However, after we arrived, we

encountered a slight issue. We ran into an acquaintance, a former

employee of my company. There was a small misunderstanding, and

Ayan and I didn't intend for him to know that we came to the hospital to

see you. We didn't want you to be disturbed, right? That's why we took

a detour and arrived late. Can you give us one chance? We will be

punctual next time, okay?"

Camille's sincerity in front of the old Simpson was evident, and it was

precisely because of this sincerity that the old Simpson didn't have any

doubts or mistrust towards her. Instead, it was this sincerity that put him

at ease.

Although he was old, he didn't want his juniors to keep things from him.

Only when they spoke to him honestly did he feel that they still needed

him.

After Camille finished speaking, the old Simpson instantly put down the

newspaper in his hands.

In a gentle voice, the old Simpson said, "Alright, for Cami's sake, let's

temporarily put this matter behind us. Cami, you understand me well.

Unlike certain people who only know how to beat around the bush.”
