Chapter 658 - Something's Wrong
He said, "It's not very convenient to talk on the phone. I've asked thedriver to go over to Darkmoor to pick you up, and he should be there inabout ten minutes. We'll talk about it then, okay?"
Kian gave no definite answer and tried to hide the emotions, whichmade Camille realize that things didn't seem quite right.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her white face stiffened, and eventuallyshe could only whisper, "Hmm."
Camille clutched her phone as Mrs. Bell's voice rang again, "Cami,what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Camille lightly pursed her lips and did not respond directly, becauseKian did not say clearly, then naturally he did not want to let too manypeople know. So she also just mustered a smile and said: "Nothing, butI have to leave early. It's Ayan. There's a small matter needs to be dealtwith. Sorry that I will not be able to accompany you guys for the dinner.”Mrs. Bell did not continue to ask questions. Her understanding anddecency made her just nod along with Camille's words: "It's okay, it canbe any time to have dinner together. Go ahead and call me directly ifyou need anything!"
"Okay, I got it, I'll go first then."
Camille got up and grabbed her bag.
Preston also got up. "Camille, I'll see you off."
"No, Mr. Baxter will stay with Mr. Bell and Mrs. Simpson to continue themeal." Camille's expression was impassive as she swept past Preston.Preston said, "I'll see you out and then get back, and Mr. and Mrs. Bellwon't mind it."
"Of course I won't mind, Cami, you'd better let Mr. Baxter do it. He's thehost tonight. He won't feel at ease if he doesn't see you out.”
Mr. Bell said so, and Camille did not refuse again, she did not want towaste any more time on these irrelevant matters.
Camille and Preston came out of the box one after the other, and thetwo passed through the long corridor. Her pace was so fast that evenPreston had to take a big step to catch up.
Preston asked softly, “Cami, what's going on, why are you leaving insuch a hurry?"
"Some personal matters."
"Do you need my help?"
"No need."
Preston added, "I'll have someone drive you there because you didn'tdrive here and it's not very convenient to take a taxi.”
Camille refused: "No, I've already asked someone over to pick me up.”Preston didn't insist any more, but just continued to walk her out ofDarkmoor until she reached the door. Camille then stopped to look athim. "Well, you don't have to accompany me any more. Just go in andhave dinner with Mr. Bell. I can do it myself.”
Preston didn't say anything, just stared at her with a slightly stony face,"Cami, there's really nothing I can help you with?"
"No really.” Camille met his gaze frankly, her calmness making itimpossible to see any difference at all.
Their eyes locked for a few seconds and Camille took the lead as sheturned her body to face him and looked ahead to wait for the driver toarrive.
Preston also stayed with her in this way. Although not talking to eachother, she could clearly feel his breathing, so it was hard to ignore hispresence.
The two remained silent for a long time, until Preston took the initiativeand said, "Cami, do you trust me anymore?"
Camille didn't know why he suddenly said such a thing and simplyreplied lightly, "You're overthinking it."
“I didn't think too much, I know you. This time after I came back, it's notthat I didn't feel your coldness towards me, I don't know why. Butwhatever it is, I want to explain to you clearly. I will not admit what Ihave not done.”
What he referred to was clear and unambiguous. Camille understood it,but the expression on her face never changed.
Ayan's driver also arrived at the time. The car was parked in front of thehotel. The driver immediately got out of the car and pulled the backseat door open for her: “Mrs. Simpson!!!"
Camille nodded slightly, she looked back at Ayan and her voice waswithout much emotion. "Preston, I'm not trying to blame on you, sodon't misunderstand. As for your comment about me being cold, I justthink that since you and Molly are together now, it's better for us tokeep our distance. After all, I'm a woman. I understand women's minds,so it's better not to create unwarranted misunderstandings.”
Camille finished, and without waiting for Preston's response she hadalready lifted her feet and walked down the stairs to the car.
The door closed, the driver got in, and the car slowly drove off anddisappeared in front of Preston's eyes.
His gaze remained unchanged, and his eyes had been fixed on thedirection of the car's departure, and only after a few minutes did hegradually lower his eyes, with a very obvious smile at the corners of hismouth.
And then, he turned around and walked inside Darkmoor. The phone inhis hand rang again. He pressed the answer and said in an extremelylight voice, "How is the situation?"
"I saw with my own eyes that they went into the hospital before theyleft. The situation should not be very good, but I can't replace anything fromthe hospital. The news is very blocked."
"The that's great. It's what we want."
Preston could hardly conceal the joy in his words.
Sean added, "But..."
"But what?"
"But the people we arranged for didn't have time to do it before a policecar passed by, so it didn't make him worse, and all that's been causedso far are injuries from the crash, so we can't be sure about hiscondition.”
Sean replied in a whisper.
Preston did not speak, only the expression on his face stiffened slightly,but soon he resumed his smile as he said, “It's OK. I'm sure God willnot spare him."
The bottom of his eyes flashed with a shadowy ruthlessness, like avenomous snake.
After finishing the phone call with Sean, he went back to the dinnerroom and drank with Mr. Bell as if nothing had happened, and the meallasted until about ten o'clock at night.
On the hospital side, Camille also arrived twenty minutes after cameout from Darkmoor.
The driver took her straight to the Resuscitation Room, where she hadbeen more than once.
Seeing that the only person at the door was Kian, the expression onher face instantly stiffened. On the way here, the driver also kept hismouth shut, because it was also true that he did not know the realsituation, so he could not give her any information.
Now after seeing Kian, she understood this instantly.
She looked at Kian with an expressionless face and asked, "Whathappened?”
Kian explained with his head down: "Mr. Simpson drove back to theSimpson's mansion and it was a car accident. We don't know whetherthose people wanted to rob or for other purposes. Fortunately, thepolice patrol passed by so it didn't have any more seriousconsequences.”
The Simpson's mansion was located in Hance City, the highestmountain in town. Back to Simpson's mansion, they must cross amountain road, but there were always police patrolled to protect theresidents living in the villa by the mountain, for people living here werethe richest in Hance City.
Accidents were rare on this stretch of road, but Ayan's driving skillswere so good that it was not normally possible for him to have anaccident, unless it was not an accident.
But at this moment Camille didn't realize it. Just looking at theResuscitation Room with the red light, her stomach was in knots. Sheasked in a hoarse voice: "How is the situation now? What did thedoctor say?"
