Camille told him the address, then asked, "What's wrong? You want to
see me?"
"Did you meet with Sophia?"
"He growled. There was no emotion in the tone, and it made Camille
uncomfortable. He sounded a little interrogative and accusatory.
Camille narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, I just met Sophia," she said.
Ayan said in a gentle voice, "Camille, you can ask me if you want to
know anything. Sophia and I are just classmates and friends. We have
contacted each other often for the time being because of our
cooperation. If you care about it, I can ask other people to take care of
the project.â
Camille frowned and asked, "Ayan, are you trying to explain to me?"
"What do you think why I'm telling you all this?"
"You think I'm meeting with Sophia because I'm upset? You're worried
about the baby if get emotional?"
"Camille! So, what are you doing with Sophia?" he said with a low and
warning voice.
"We just have tea and some chat. What do you think we're going to
do?"
Camille spoke casually, without any displeasure.
Ayan frowned. "Are you really not upset?"
"Ayan, do I look like a troublemaker to you?"
She asked dully.
"I just don't want you to have any misunderstanding. If you have
questions, you can ask me directly. I'll tell you whatever you want to
know."
"Is that always the case?"
"Well, any time." He was sincere, and Camille smiled.
But Camille didn't really ask him anything. It was just a promise that
might come in handy later.
Ayan and Camille were having a good conversation and Camille was
feeling good about it. At the same time, Dr. Ellis also called to tell her
the good news.
Dr. Ellis said, "Skye's recovery is going well. She'll be ready for the
transplantation soon. She can have the surgery after she's fully
recovered. On your grandmother's side, you can talk to her about it
first.â
"Well, I see what you mean, and thank you Dr. Ellis."
"Sure, you can talk to your grandma first and let me know if you have
any updates so that I can get prepared, 100."
"All right.â
After talking to Dr. Ellis, Camille went straight to the hospital.
But when Camille had reached the door of her grandmother's room,
she heard two nurses at a nearby nursesâ station whispering. "Did you
hear? Skye's going into surgery, but Eileen hasn't been to the hospital
for many days. Isn't she coming for her mother's operation?"
"Who knows? She is a public figure. We might not even know if she's
here."
"I hope so. I don't think she's good to her mother, anyway. "
Camille didn't continue listening anymore. She knocked on the door
and went inside her grandmother's room.
When Camille told her grandmother about Skye's surgery, she said yes
when she learned that Skye's surgery was on the way.
The nurse then informed them about a routine blood test, and Camille
went with her grandma in her wheelchair.
Grandmother didn't want her to do that. She thought Camille would be
tired because she was pregnant, and kept saying, "I can walk. Why do I
have to sit on a wheelchair? What if you get tired as you are pregnant?â
Camille was amused. She said, "if you don't mention that I'm pregnant,
no one will know. So, let's keep quiet.â
âYou only knew how to joke around.â
"Because you spoil me, and I would you be happy to joke with you, but
not with someone else. "
Camille said with a smile.
Grandma waved her hand. "Hurry up."
"Don't be duplicitous, I know you like me
"Fine!"
Grandma showed a disgusted face, but she felt happy deep in her
heart.
She enjoyed the little jokes with Camille.
They were talking all the way to the blood collection room.
Camille knocked on the door and get the wheelchair in. There were
other people in the room, which was separated by a curtain. The nurse
helped grandma to get on the examination bed and began to collect
blood.
The nurse next to them said, "why isn't your daughter here with you?"
"She is preparing for the concert and doesn't have time to come.â
Camille immediately recognized the voice, it was Skye. She frowned
slightly and thought, âis it true that Eileen hasn't come to the hospital for
her motherâs surgery?"
Camille didn't think much of it. She just heard it.
After her grandmother finished blood collection, she helped her
grandmother get back to the room. She was walking in front, while
Teddy was helping Skye walk behind. Camille was asked to wear a
mask by her grandma, so they didn't recognize her.
As Camille was hesitating if she had to walk faster to keep her
distance, Teddy complained behind her. "Eileen hasn't been here for
days. Did she abandon you alone?"
"Keep your voice down. What if someone hears you? Eileen is not
related to us. She's done enough already. What should we do if she
really abandons us for being asked too much?"
Skye carefully analyzed the situation with Teddy. Teddy probably
thought it made sense, so he stopped talking.
But their conversation left Camille stunned.
Eileen was not their biological child?
Camille did not recover from her shock for a long time. The news was
so sudden that she asked to herself, "does Ayan know? "
Camille took her grandmother back to her room and then went straight
to the Simpson Group to find Ayan.
Sophia was also there. After their confession last time, the relationship
between Camille and Sophia was less tense. They would nod their
heads and greet to each other when they met. Then Sophia would
leave immediately without disturbing her and Ayan.
After Sophia left Camille asked Ayan, "I just went to the hospital for my
grandmother's health check. Guess what did I hear?"
She was so enigmatic that even Ayan had some concerns.
"So mysterious? What did you hear? " He smiled.
Camille, however, said more seriously, "did Eileen tell you that she's not
related to her parents?"
"No."
He answered softly, without seeming to be surprised.
Camille frowned. "Ayan, don't you think it's strange?"
"I've known about this for some time."
"Did she tell you that? *
"No, Kian found it out." He didn't hide it from Camille, he told her the
truth.
But Camille asked, "aren't you angry?"
Ayan asked, "why should 1? *
Now it was Camille's turn to wonder.
She stared at Ayan curiously. For a moment, she didn't know how to
answer the question.
Camille frowned and said, "because she lied to you. Don't you mind?"
âI don't mind, because it's her business, not mine." Ayan's handsome
face was gentle and his words didnât show any concern. Maybe it just
meant nothing to him.
But his response meant differently to Camille.
She even regretted that she came over and told him about it. At first,
she was shocked by Eileenâs mother's words, but then she asked
herself, "had Eileen told Ayan?"
"If she hadn't, it was cheating.â
So, she wanted to find out.
But now she got a response that made her feel ridiculous. Was she too
gossipy?
Even if Eileen was wrong to hide it, was it inappropriate for her to talk
behind her back?
She smiled helplessly, and her eyes were indifferent to sarcasm. She
laughed at herself for what she had done.
If one loved someone, how can he or she mind his or her mistakes?
One would naturally accept who the other person really was.
Camille gave a faint smile. "I'm sorry to be nosy. I should have thought
that you love Eileen so much. How could you care if she kept secrets
from you?"
