Chapter 970: Very Obedient

Ayan remained silent as he accompanied her to the car. He opened thecar door for her and handed over the medication. His voice was gentleas he said, "Go home, have something to eat, and take your medicine.If you're not feeling well, give me a call. Don't come to the hospitalalone, okay?"

Camille stood by the car, reaching out to accept the medicine. Shemurmured softly, “Thank you.”

The two words felt strangely unfamiliar and distant, causing Ayan'sexpression to turn cold. His deep eyes momentarily carried a trace oreplaceifference, and he gazed at Camille. His voice, though light, held ahint of bitterness within it as he asked, "Are you trying to be politenow?"

He spoke softly, with a hint of a smile in his tone, but there was anunderlying bitterness.

Camille didn't respond, and her gaze didn't meet his. She simplypursed her lips and remained silent.

Ayan felt helpless; he had no way to deal with her. He could only speaksoftly, “It's getting late. Get in the car. You can't afford to catch a chillright now. After you take the medicine, have a good rest. If you don'twant me to go home with you, I won't, but let me at least drop you off atyour doorstep, okay?"

Camille bit her lip lightly, her voice faint, "You also said it's late. You'vebeen here with me for a long time, and I appreciate it. I can drive homeon my own now."

Ayan didn't speak further. Camille's cold and distant words hurt himdeeply. He feared that speaking more would only make him lose controlof his emotions.

She could be ruthless when she wanted to be, and he had witnessedthat ruthlessness before. At this moment, she seemed to be still angry,and anything she said or did wouldn't be surprising.

In the end, he could only let her have her way. He took a step back,giving her space to get into the car. After she got in, she closed the cardoor directly and said calmly, “I'll leave now. I'm fine, so you don't needto worry. Get home and rest early."

"Okay," she responded with a tone that was almost devoid of emotion.He then watched her drive away, and he didn't linger either. Heimmediately headed toward his own car, keeping a distance fromCamille as he escorted her back to Maple Leaves Mansion.

At first, Camille thought that his return to Maple Leaves Mansion wasjust in the same direction as part of his journey. However, as they gotcloser to the mansion, she realized he was actually accompanying her.His actions made her feel bitter.

He was intentionally making her uncomfortable, making it difficult forher to make a decision. While she felt a sense of security when he wasat the hospital tonight, in all honesty, if she had a choice, she wouldhave preferred that Ayan hadn't come.

As long as she didn't see him, her emotions could remain somewhatcalm. But seeing him brought back memories-starting from when shehad asked for a divorce, then his surprise appearance with the divorcepapers, and later his pursuit of her and proposal for remarriage.Throughout these events, she had reopened her heart, consideringgiving their relationship another chance. But it turned out that they werenever divorced.

She didn't view his concealment as a pleasant surprise; instead, shefelt he was calculating her. She had poured her heart and soul into therelationship, but what did her sincerity mean to him in the end?Camille became lost in thought. Her hands instinctively clenched thesteering wheel, and her face showed a heavy and profound emotionalturmoil. She continued driving until she reached Franklin Bay. The carbehind her finally stopped following and parked at a distance. Itwatched as she drove into the villa, and only when the bedroom lightsupstairs lit up did it leave.

Camille didn't have the mental capacity to dwell on things any longer.She ate two more slices of the unfinished bread from last night andhurriedly took her medication. She even skipped taking a shower andwent to bed directly.

After seeing Camille off at Franklin Bay, Ayan didn't immediately driveback to Maple Leaves Mansion. Instead, he went to the Simpson'smansion.

Since Timmy wasn't at Franklin Bay, he had to be at the Simpson'smansion. Ayan, who also couldn't sleep, decided to stay at theSimpson's mansion for the night and accompany Timmy the nextmorning.

It had been a day filled with many events, so numerous that it left onefeeling overwhelmed.

After a night's sleep, Camille's fever had subsided. She slept untilnearly noon. The chef and housekeeper had also returned, preparingsome rice porridge and light vegetarian dishes for her.

Sitting at the dining table, Camille ate her meal while using her phoneto make a video call to the nanny.

The nanny quickly answered the call and called out to Timmy, “Timmy,your mommy's calling. Come here quickly.”

Upon hearing the word “mommy,” Timmy rushed over with his shortlegs, much to Ayan's amused head-shaking. It seemed like when hismom was around, there was no room for Dad.

Ayan sat on a nearby couch, watching this scene. His eyes involuntarilytightened. He heard Timmy's childish voice asking, "Mommy, why aren'tyou coming to be with me? Mommy, what are you eating?"

Camille answered one by one, her voice gentle and extraordinarilypatient.

Timmy seemed a bit hungry, his eyes fixed on Camille's bowl withoutwavering. He even got distracted by Camille's words, all while eyeingher food.

In the end, Camille had to raise her phone higher and asked softly,"Have you eaten, Timmy?"

Timmy shook his head, "No."

The nanny chimed in, "Are you sure you haven't eaten, Timmy? Youjust had a piece of cake a little while ago. Did you forget?"

Timmy pouted and murmured softly, "But I want to eat what mommy iseating. I haven't eaten what mommy eats. I really want to. Nanny, canyou take me to mommy? I want to go replace mommy."

With every mention of “mommy,” Camille's heart melted a little.Camille said, "Are you missing mommy? How about Nanny accompanyyou back?"

Timmy clapped his hands happily, then turned his eyes towards Ayanand said joyfully, "Mommy, I want to go replace you with daddy. Daddy saidyou're sick, and I want to see you!"

Camille was momentarily taken aback by Timmy's words, realizingthere was a lot of crucial information in what he had said. She didn'tknow what to say.

Timmy continued to call for mommy, and Camille was momentarilytaken aback. She then whispered gently, "Mommy's fine, sweetie."She didn't say more than that, and her expression wasn't as natural asit had been a moment ago.

Ayan going to the Simpson's mansion to accompany Timmy wasperfectly fine; after all, Timmy was his child, and it was completelyjustified.

However, Camille couldn't shake the feeling that it was similar to hisprevious visits to the Simpson's mansion, where he seemed to bereplaceing opportunities to talk and interact with her.

Camille bit her lip, wondering if she was overthinking things. AfterTimmy's remark, her conversation with him became somewhatperfunctory. They talked for a while, but she didn't mention when Timmywould return to Franklin Bay.

Finally, the nanny changed the subject and said, "Timmy's teachermentioned that there's a weekend activity that requires parents toaccompany their children. She sent an invitation letter. I'll bring it to youtomorrow or tonight, alright?"

Camille nodded, replying, "Sure."

It was necessary for the parents to accompany their child to such anevent.

Camille didn't say much more, and the conversation came to an end.Timmy seemed a bit tired, getting increasingly distracted. When hefinally said goodbye to Camille, it was in a perfunctory manner. Hewaved his hand and then snuggled into his nanny's arms, ready tosleep.

Camille watched him like that, and a smile crept onto her lips.

After the video call, Ayan came over and picked up Timmy from thenanny's arms. He looked at Timmy with warmth in his eyes and askedgently, "Are you feeling sleepy?”

Timmy, feeling drowsy, nodded and leaned against Ayan, clearly tired.Ayan smiled and carried Timmy upstairs. Timmy, clinging to him, didn'twant to let go. Maybe because Camimlle was not here, even forsleeping and eating, he relied heavily on his dad. Ayan had work toattend to, so after Timmy woke up and had his meal, he had to leave.Before leaving, Timmy hugged Ayan's leg and said, "Daddy, can I gowith you? I promise I'll be really good. Mommy says I'm very well-behaved. Please, Daddy?"
