Chapter 941
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
I forced a smile. âI get it. Iâll take care of myself, just go.â
He was still worried despite that and told Cameron some dos and donâts before he left. Then, Cameron
looked at me. âHeâs really nice to you.â
I smiled. Then my phone rang. It was from Armond, who hadnât called me in a long time. I frowned in
annoyance when I saw his number. Ever since what happened in Moranta, I lost any good impression I
had for him. But I took his call anyway. âWhat is it?â
His voice was deep, but also depressing. âItâs been a while. We might not be friends anymore, but we
donât have to be enemies; so, you donât have to be so hostile. â
I sneered. âYou tried to harm my husband. If thatâs not enough to antagonize me, I donât know what
will.â
He laughed mirthlessly. âAre you free? Why donât we meet up? You might gain something, you know.â
âThanks but no thanks,â I refused.
âCome on, donât say no so fast.â He chuckled. âI heard youâre trying to find a matching kidney for the
Crestsâ kid. Iâm your friend, Scarlett, and Iâm a kind man. I donât mind getting a suitable kidney for the
child. All you have to do is ask,â he said casually, much to my surprise.
I frowned. âWhat are you trying to do now, Armond?â
âLetâs meet up and talk. You raised the child, didnât you? You can take this risk. You risked your life in
Moranta for Ashton, so why not for the child? Is she worth less than your husband? All I want to do is to
chat with you.â
I was surprised that he could sound so nonchalant since he was usually a stern man. What is he really
like deep down?
My prolonged silence prompted him to speak. âSo itâs a no, huh? I feel bad for the poor child.â
âGive me the location.â I took a deep breath. I didnât know how he would find the kidney, but it was a
pressing matter, so I had to give it a try.
He laughed as if his plan had worked. âYou are always so loyal, Scarlett. Iâm looking forward to our
meeting, but donât tell anyone about this, and donât try to pull any tricks behind my back. Or Iâll make
sure your daughter is bedridden for life even if she gets the bone marrow she desperately needs. You
know I can do that.â
He said goodbye with a laugh before hanging up. Then, he sent me the location.
I pursed my lips. The city center, huh? And the most bustling place too. I heaved a sigh of relief. If
thatâs the case, he canât do anything to me even if he wants to.
Cameron came back with the vitamins after I kept my phone. âTake these vitamins once in the morning
and once at night. Itâll help the baby.â
I nodded and put the pills in my bag. At the same time, I was thinking about what to tell her since I want
to go out.
The ERâs door swung open, and out came Summer on a gurney surrounded by doctors. Cameron and I
followed them into the ward, but Summer was still in a coma even after the doctors had left.
I looked at Cameron. âIâm going out to get some stuff, Mom. Look after Summer for me. Iâll be back in a
minute.â
She looked at the time and nodded. âGo on. Iâll look after her.â
I went straight to the location Armond sent me after coming out from the hospital. It was a café near the
hospital. When I arrived at the place, Armond was already waiting for me. He gave me a warm smile
when we met. âI thought you wonât come.â Then, he called the waiter to take his order.
I looked at him. âPlease make this quick.â
He pursed his lips calmly. âSo Iâm not even your friend now.â
âDo you think we can still be friends after what you did?â I held my anger back. He was no longer my
friend from the moment he tried to kill Ashton in Moranta. In fact, he was my enemy since then.
He smiled despondently. âYou know I would never harm you.â
âDepends on how you define âharm.ââ I sneered. âThatâs enough of pleasantries. You have plotted ever
since we met, but I donât really care about your reason. Just cut to the chase.â
He pursed his lips and squinted at me. âVery well then. Remember the sandalwood box you promised
to give me back in Venria? I took your girls back safe and sound, but what did you do? You gave me a
fake box. Do you think Iâm an idiot, Scarlett?â
I froze for a moment. Oh, so he found out about that. I pursed my lips. âI know nothing about that box.
You wanted it, so I gave it to you. I can tell you that my grandma gave it to me, so itâs just something
my grandma left me. I have no idea what the content means to you, and I donât know what you want
from it.â
