“Serenity, this is a little gift from me. Keep it for your sister. When people visit someone at the hospital, it’s customary to bring a gift.” Chelsea brought up the social custom.She insisted that Liberty accept the gift card.Olivia also gave Liberty a gift card.Serenity refused, and in the end, the mother and daughter shoved the gift cards to Sonny and let him hold them. Then, they quickly ran away.Mr. Brown ran along with them, not letting Serenity return the gift cards.Only Hank stood there, watching Liberty awkwardly.Serenity wanted to let Hank take the gift cards away, but Sonny refused to let go. He clung tightly to the cards and said, “Grandmom and Aunt Chelsea gave these to me!”Serenity said gently, “Sonny, you have to return these gift cards to them. We don’t want their money.”“Grandmom and Aunt Chelsea gave them to me!”Sonny refused resolutely. His grandmother and aunt gave him gift cards in the past, but his mother would always exchange them for cash and p

“Thank you,” Camryn said to Serenity.“Serenity,” Callum greeted.Serenity hummed and helped Camryn sit down in a chair.Callum placed the fruit basket and bouquet on the bedside table and said warmly, “Liberty, these are from Ms. Newman. We wish you a speedy recovery.”Liberty thanked them.She did not know Camryn well, but she knew that her sister and Camryn got along with each other. Her sister told her that Camryn was the wife chosen for Callum by his grandmother. Judging by Callum’s attitude toward Camryn, he had accepted his grandmother’s arrangement.“Liberty.”Camryn faced Liberty.“I’m sorry.”She apologized.“Why are you apologizing to me, Ms. Newman?” Liberty’s voice was a little weak. After the anesthesia wore off, her wounds and the surgery incisions hurt so much that her face was pale. She could not even raise her voice to speak louder.Camryn said guiltily, “This all started because of me. In order to save me, Serenity lent me a hand, which was why my mother h

After a moment of silence, Camryn said, “It’ll trouble Mr. Callum.”“You don’t have to call him Mr. Callum. That sounds so distant. Just call him Callum. We’re friends, and he’s my brother-in-law. You two have known each other for a while now, so you’re considered friends too.”Callum cast a grateful look at his sister-in-law.Camryn just smiled and did not answer.Liberty still needed to rest, so Camryn could not stay too long.After Audrey and Elisa arrived, Camryn and Callum left together.“Seren, you take Sonny and Zachary back for lunch and rest at home in the afternoon. Elisa and I will stay here to watch over your sister, then you two can come back at night to take over.”Audrey wanted to watch over Liberty at night too, but she could not win against Serenity.She understood where Serenity was coming from.Her children were also worried that she could not hold on in her old age.Serenity looked at her sister.“Listen to Aunt Audrey, Seren.”Liberty said gently, “My h

Serenity felt that it was her fault for not being by her sister’s side because of the argument she had with him. How would she feel if she found out that her fertility was being talked about online too?“Okay, let’s go back to the manor. Nana said that Sonny was frightened too badly and should be looked at by a psychic. My mom said I was often looked at by psychics when I was a kid too.”After getting in the car, Zachary said, “I don’t know when Nana started being so superstitious. That psychic also looked into our fate and said that we were destined to be husband and wife. That’s why Nana tried her best to get us together.”Serenity was speechless. “That was the reason? I thought it was because Nana liked my character, but it turns out I was wrong—it was a psychic who brought us together.”Zachary held Sonny’s hand in one hand and grabbed hers with the other. “This psychic is pretty good.”He was right to say that Zachary and Serenity were destined to be husband and wife.They w

In the meantime, after leaving the hospital, Callum did not send Camryn back to Spring Blossoms but went to Wiltspoon Hotel instead. He said, “I accompanied you to the hospital, so lunch is your treat.”Camryn, who was thinking about something else, was instantly speechless.He always made her buy him meals!She looked at Callum and asked calmly, “Where do you want to eat?”“I think...”His cell phone rang before he could finish, interrupting what he was about to say.There was no caller ID saved to the number, but he recognized it. It was from Mr. Newman.“Your uncle is calling,” Callum said to Camryn.Camryn frowned and then said calmly, “I think he’s anxious and wants you to help.”Mr. Newman was indeed feeling uneasy. He was also fearful.His wife and he were tied to the same boat. Although most of it was obviously his wife’s doing, he could not escape being scrutinized and investigated. He would not be able to get away if the police investigated deeper.His wife and he

Callum spoke to Camryn. He swiped the answer icon before Camryn could respond and shoved the phone to her.“Hurry up and take the phone unless you want us to die together in an accident.”Camryn had no choice but to take the phone from him.Mr. Newman called out pleasingly from the phone, “Mr. Callum, are you free? I’d like to treat you to lunch.”Camryn brought the phone to her ear. When she heard her stepfather’s question, she said softly, “Mr. Callum is driving now, Uncle. He can’t answer the phone.”“Camryn? You’re with Mr. Callum? Okay, tell him that I’d like to invite him to lunch and ask if he’s available. You can come with him too.” Mr. Newman’s tone was gentle when he heard his niece’s voice and realized that she was with Callum.“Mr. Callum, my uncle said he wants to invite you to lunch. He asked if you’re available.”“Sure, I am. We’re going to lunch right now, aren’t we? Tell Mr. Newman that we’ll wait for him at Wiltspoon Hotel. Tell him to come quickly.”He could

Camryn held back her anger and said, “I don’t know what you look like, Mr. Callum. How could I dislike you for being ugly?“Marriage is an important event, Mr. Callum. We’re not playing house. We’re just friends at best and not even a couple. How can you talk about marriage?”Callum did not answer immediately. Just when Camryn thought that she persuaded him, he said gently, “You don’t have to be a couple to get married. Zachary saw Serenity for the first time when they got their marriage license, and they’re doing great now. They’re so sweet to each other that I’m envious.”Camryn was speechless.Zachary got married to Serenity all of a sudden, but were all the men of the York family going to follow in his footsteps?Or did they want to learn from Zachary because they were too busy and could not be bothered to date?Callum said, “If you want to be a couple first, that’s easy. I’ll be your boyfriend. We’re a couple now.”Camryn was speechless. “Don’t you have to ask for my permis

When they arrived at Wiltspoon Hotel, Callum parked the car, got out, and quickly went around to reach the passenger seat. He waited for Camryn to get out of the car before standing in front of her.“Mr. Callum?”Camryn raised her head to face him.He was close enough that she could easily smell the familiar scent of his body.Callum suddenly took her hand.Then, he raised it high and pressed her hand against his face.“Touch my face, Camryn. Although you can’t see what I look like now, you can feel it with your hands. I know you can imagine what I look like. You’re a very smart girl.”Camryn quietly faced him.After a long time, her hand moved.Callum let go of her hand.He let her hands roam his face gently with a hint of tenderness.Her long and soft fingers felt rough as they brushed all over his features.That was because her palms were full of thick calluses.Her hands were actually very soft and beautiful.Camryn imagined Callum’s appearance in her mind by feeling
