Chapter 19

“Cameron, what just happened?” Lena asked, looking surprised.

Cameron replied resentfully, “You should ask your friend!” His wound wouldn’t have reopened if she hadn’t teased him. It seemed even the hospital wasn’t safe anymore.

“What did she do to you?” Lena asked curiously. She knew her friend was bold, so the gesture must have been audacious.

“Forget it. You’d better ask her yourself,” Cameron said, shaking his head. Then he asked Colonel Bailey, “Is your friend a bit…”

“A bit what?” Lena raised an eyebrow.

“Flirty.” Cameron paused before saying the word.

“Hmph, you’re the flirty one! Tara is pretty cold,” Lena snorted, glaring at him. “I warn you, don’t even think about making a move on Tara, or I won’t let you go unscathed!”

“Colonel Bailey, don’t worry. I’m not interested in her. Can I request a room change?” Cameron asked.

“Tara will seek you out even if you change rooms. So I advise you not to waste your efforts,” Lena said, dashing his hopes.

“Alright,” Cameron replied helplessly. He promised himself he wouldn’t give Tara another opportunity.

“Cameron, is your wound okay?” Lena returned to the main topic.

“It’s fine. It’s just a minor injury,” Cameron replied nonchalantly.

Chapter 21

“When the doctor comes, they can stitch it up again,” Lena said, looking at Cameron, her gaze flickering slightly. She couldn’t deny that Cameron was quite masculine sometimes.

“Oh, by the way!” Lena suddenly remembered something. “Who were the ones who kidnapped Laura?” [Remove the promotional text here]

“It was those mercenaries from before,” Cameron said, his gaze sharpening. “The mastermind behind the attempt is most likely the same culprit from Leving.”

“Do you know who it is?” Lena’s eyes lit up.

“I’m not sure, but Laura should know.”

“You didn’t ask her who it was?”

“No need. I think she’ll handle it herself.”

“Aren’t you worried?”

“Why should I be worried? That woman has nothing to do with me.” Cameron’s tone grew colder as he thought about Laura’s heartlessness. “Plus, with the Jones family’s influence back in Leving, what can’t she handle? There’s no reason for me to meddle unnecessarily.”

“That’s true,” Lena nodded. She looked at Cameron’s indifferent expression and asked curiously, “Cameron, aren’t you upset that Laura didn’t visit you this time?”

“Upset? Maybe a little, but that’s it,” Cameron chuckled, a hint of self-deprecation in his smile. He had felt a bit bitter when he first woke up from his coma, but he didn’t feel strongly about it anymore. Laura would continue being the high and mighty Ms. Jones, and he would continue living his own life.
