Callum casually asked, “Where’s Serenity?”Camryn answered, “She’s probably away on a business trip. Serenity said she had to go on a business trip these two days.”If it were not for her eyes, Camryn would often have to go on business trips too. Since Dalton would always come over now, she did not have to travel.Camryn wanted to go to the office very badly. Considering that she was blind, it would be troublesome for her to travel to a faraway place, unless she took a private jet. Neither did she have one nor would she want to use her future in-laws’ private jet.Zachary did not give an explanation.He let Camryn assume that his wife was on a business trip.When his wife was not at home, he felt miserable as time seemed to creep by. Even after a long time, the sky had not turned dark and the sun was still high in the sky. The sun was not even at its highest point.They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder”.This saying is absolutely true.Zachary was experiencing it.Whe
“I can identify with Mr. Lewis.”Camryn said softly, “He suddenly met with an accident and hurt his legs. Now, he’s unable to stand up. It’s normal that it takes a while for him to come to terms with it. His case is considered fine. Many people do extreme things when they can’t accept the fact that they become disabled.“I almost died back then. When I woke up, all I saw was darkness. I heard Aunt Evelyn’s voice, so I asked her whether it was nighttime and why the lights were off.”As Camryn recalled the time she had just gone blind, she was so calm that it was as though she was describing someone else’s story. “Aunt Evelyn said it was daytime. The sun was bright, and there was no need to switch on the lights. She was frightened shortly. She kept asking me if I could see anything, and I said all I saw was darkness. She quickly called the doctor… I turned blind. She wept while hugging me.“It felt like the end of the world for me. All I could see was darkness, and it made me feel
Camryn withdrew the hand that she used to cover Callum’s mouth and she casually rose to her feet. Before she walked around the counter, the shop assistant came in.With a sulky expression, Callum walked away and continued to water the flowers.The shop assistant handed the money to Camryn and turned around to glance at Callum who just walked past her. After Callum walked out of the shop to water the plants outside, she asked in a soft voice, “Boss, did I do something wrong?”Camryn took the money and counted the notes to confirm that the amount was right. Upon hearing the shop assistant’s question, Camryn answered, “No. You’re fine. You didn’t do anything wrong.”“Good to hear that. I thought I made a mistake. When Mr. Callum walked past me just now, he glared at me.”After ascertaining that she did not make any mistakes, she heaved a sigh of relief.Deep down, Camryn roasted her fiancé but on the outside, she said with a gentle smile, “Your eyes could be deceiving you. Why would
Spring Blossoms was situated in the city center. As the shop was not far from Wiltspoon Hotel, Callum and Camryn arrived at the hotel shortly.Coincidentally, Trenton was walking out of the hotel while carrying a bag. They wondered where he was heading. Callum swiftly got out of the car and said to Camryn, “Trenton is going out. Let me stop him first. Take your time and be careful when you get out of the car.”“Alright. Hurry up and stop him. I can get out of the car on my own.”She was forced to take a ride in his car frequently whenever she went out. Since she was familiar with it, she could get in and out of the car without falling down.Callum quickened his pace toward Trenton, who had probably booked a Uber ride in advance. Trenton walked toward the car at the hotel entrance and opened the door to get in.“Trenton.”Trenton turned around and looked at Callum, who was walking toward him. Subsequently, Trenton’s eyes settled on Camryn, who was approaching him with a white ca
Deep down, Trenton understood that the Chandlers and Joyners strove to bail his father for the sake of their personal gains. This was because the Chandlers and Joyners would not be able to gain any benefits after Camryn took over Newman Enterprise.Currently, Camryn was in control of the Newman residence, which made it difficult for her aunts to take advantage of the family.They even went all out to defame Camryn.“Your sister is independent. She dislikes relying on me and is afraid of being a drag to me. By keeping an eye on her, I can guarantee her safety. Just let her do whatever she wants.”Callum added gently, “I’ve contacted Dr. Carden to treat Camryn’s eyes, but we have to prepare for the worst. If Dr. Carden says there’s no hope of recovery, Camryn can only live in darkness forever.“In fact, she feels inferior when she’s with me, but she hides her feelings well. So, I want to make her feel that she’s not a drag to me and that she can take care of herself. This way, she c
Callum was holding Camryn, but she did not need him to do so. Callum said, “Let me help you, or Trenton will blame me for being inconsiderate and incapable of taking good care of you as I left you to walk alone earlier.“He’s worried that you’re unfamiliar with the way, which might cause you to hit something or fall.”Upon hearing that, Camryn allowed Callum to hold her again. She said, “Trenton still cares about me.”“Both of you are siblings. Blood is thicker than water. Of course, he cares about you.”While walking, Camryn said, “He’s a good boy. He has respected me since he was young. His parents protected him very well, and he wasn’t corrupted by them.”In the past, Camryn treated her brother badly but she actually cared about him.Among the Newmans, Trenton was the only person who treated Camryn as a family member back then. After entering the cafe, Trenton ordered three cups of coffee, one for each of them.Camryn took a seat. Then, she stretched out her hand to touch h
After a pause, Camryn said gently, “Trenton, Newman Enterprise is our family’s company, so it’s our business. If you are to side with someone, you should side with me. Bear in mind that you’re eligible for the assets of the company.“Once college starts, work hard and don’t overthink things. We, adults, will settle our issues. Don’t be overly frugal. If you need money, just let me know. I’ll transfer money to your account.”Trenton looked at Camryn for some time before suddenly asking her, “Can you really bear to share our family’s wealth with me?”Trenton’s family told him that after Camryn took over Newman Enterprise, she would definitely dominate the company and forbid him from having a hand in it. She would not even share her family’s wealth with him because she hated his parents. Even though Trenton and Camryn shared the same mother, their mother treated Camryn awfully. Camryn probably perceived her mother to be nastier than Snow White’s stepmother. “Ouch.”Trenton was in
Callum rose to his feet. He lifted Camryn’s white cane and handed it to her. Then, he held her and walked.Trenton stood up as well. As he watched Camryn turn around and leave, his lips parted and he whispered, “Camryn.”It was not known whether Trenton’s call was left unheard or Camryn chose to ignore him. She neither stopped nor turned her head around.After pausing for a moment, Trenton stood up as Camryn was about to walk out of the cafe. He swiftly caught up with her and shouted, “Camryn.” This time, Camryn stopped in her tracks.However, she did not turn around.Everyone in the cafe turned their eyes to Camryn and Trenton.“Go and buy whatever you need. Book your flight in advance. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up on the day of your departure. You can move to my house if you want. It’ll forever be your home.”With that, Camryn strode away.“I’m sorry, Camryn.”Trenton apologized to her loudly.He should not have teased Camryn just now.Indeed, Camryn had been
