“Mr. Callum, I don’t need you to be responsible for me.” She turned to Mr. Newman and said again. seriously, “Uncle, stop forcing Mr. Callum to marry me. I don’t need it! Marrying me off isn’t even your real goal. Why don’t you just tell Mr. Callum what you want? Why are you using me as a bargaining chip?
“Mr. Callum, what my uncle really wants is for you to step in and help mediate so that your -law’s sister can compromise and help my mother get a lighter sentence.”
sister–in
Mr. Newman’s expression darkened.
Fine, it was good that Camryn spelled out his true thoughts.
That was indeed his real intention.
Callum deliberately let out a hum. “It’s not because he genuinely wants me to marry you? Mr. Newman, to be honest, I’m willing to do so. She’s beautiful and pleasing to the eye, so it doesn’t matter to me that she can’t see. Her blindness just makes it more convenient for me to bully her and pick on her.”
Camryn’s expression was calm.
Mr. Newman looked thoughtful.
“Mr. Callum, my wife is Camryn’s mother. If you marry Camryn, my wife will be your mother–in–law. Are you willing to stand by idly as your mother–in–law goes to jail?”
Since Camryn had pointed out his real intention, he shamelessly said what was in his heart.
“Liberty is your sister–in–law’s sister, so you should plead for your mother–in–law. We’ll all be relatives in the future and will cross paths regularly. Can you forgive your mother–in–law this one time? I guarantee that she won’t do anything to Liberty and Serena again after she comes out.”
Callum picked up the teacup, took an elegant sip of tea before placing the cup back down and said with a smile, “Mr. Newman, don’t be so quick to call yourselves my in–laws. Your niece said I don’t have to marry her, so our families are not related yet.
“If you have difficulties in your business, I may be able to help for the sake of your niece. However, I won’t help you in this case. It doesn’t matter whether your wife is my mother–in–law. Even if she was, she committed a crime and should be punished. I won’t intercede for her.
“You should give up on that, Mr. Newman. Liberty and her sister won’t agree to a settlement!”
Callum stood up when he was done speaking and pulled Camryn up as well. He said to Mr. Newman, “I won’t continue eating this meal. You can come to me if it’s about taking responsibility for Ms. Newman, but don’t come looking for anything else. I can’t help you.”
He pulled Camryn out of the room.
Mr. Newman was left there sitting alone, his expression turned dark and his face paled.
After exiting the room, Callum took Camryn to another room, ordered food again, and told her to continue to treat him to lunch.
He said righteously, “Your uncle tried to force me to marry you. I suffered grievances, so you should buy me lunch.”
Camryn felt amused and exasperated. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t. You don’t have to make excuses.”
“I’ll send you home after lunch. Pack up and move out of that house. I’m worried your uncle will do something to you.”
“Where am I supposed to move to?”
“My place, of course. I have a house near your place. Move into my house and I’ll ask someone to take care of you. Don’t worry, I won’t live in the same house, lest others say that we’re cohabiting before getting married.”
Camryn paused. “Mr. Callum, stop talking about marriage. I won’t follow my uncle’s arrangement. I’ll ask my assistant to help me tidy up the small room inside my store later. I can stay there for now. It’s much more convenient that way too.”
She would move back home when her uncle also got arrested.
In the meantime, it was indeed safer for her to move out.
Who knew if her uncle would kill her out of desperation?
Back then, her uncle and mother wanted to kill her, but she saved herself at the cost of her eyes.
“Sounds good.”
Callum did not force her to move into his villa.
The sun set and darkness came, depicting another day coming to an end.
Zack and Serena took Sonny to the hospital.
They did not know if it was because of the psychic or because Sonny saw his mother wake up, but he slept well in the afternoon. His mental state was back to normal now.
However, Serena was not well. She had a headache after sleeping badly for two days.
Before going out to the hospital, she took a painkiller behind Zack’s back. She had always taken this painkiller, but the side effects were quite strong. Unless she was in severe pain, She would not have taken it.
Zack snipped a large number of flowers from her garden and wrapped them into a bouquet, then let Sonny carry it into the ward,
“Mom,” Sonny called out while trotting to the hospital bed.
He handed the bouquet to Liberty as if he was offering up treasure. His black eyes twinkled as he
said childishly, “Mom, you’ll get better soon If you get flowers.”
Liberty smiled. “As long as you’re by Mom’s side, Mom will get better soon.”
“Sonny, just put the bouquet next to your mom’s pillow.” Serena walked over and helped her nephew place the bouquet next to her sister’s pillow. She said with a smile, “Liberty, Zack only helped to cut and wrap the flowers. Sonny was the one who picked the flowers.”
Liberty’s smile grew sweeter.
“Aunt Audrey and Elisa, leave my sister to us. You two go home and rest for now. Aunt Audrey, worry too much. My sister will get better soon.”
Serena and Zack took over Audrey and Eliza to keep watch over Liberty for the night.
Audrey watched over Liberty for half a day. She was slightly relieved when she saw that Liberty’s mental state was better than in the morning.
As long as she was still alive, her injuries would heal!
There was only a rainbow after the rain.
“All right, we’ll take our leave. I’ll come by tomorrow morning with some food for Liberty. The doctor said she can start eating liquid food tomorrow.”
Audrey touched Liberty’s still pale face tenderly and said, “Liberty, you have to get better soon. I’ll make some good tonic for you in the future. Seeing you like this breaks my heart.”
“I’ll get better, Aunt Audrey. I already feel much better now than when I first woke up in the morning.”
Her wound just hurt.
Liberty endured it and concealed it for fear that the people who were worried about her would feel even more distressed.
Elisa rubbed the top of Sonny’s head. “Say bye–bye, Sonny.”
“Bye–bye.”
Sonny waved to Elisa and blew her a kiss, making everyone laugh.
Zack personally escorted Audrey and Elisa out of the inpatient building.
“You’ve worked hard these days, Zack.”
Audrey said gratefully, “It’s thanks to you that Seren and her sister could turn their fortunes around. You helped them a lot. Thank you.”
Zack said warmly, “Seren is my wife, and her sister is my sister. They’re my family. It’s only natural that I help them.”
He helped Serena and Liberty tremendously, but it was also because they got acquainted with him that they ended up being involved in trouble.
“You’re a responsible man. I feel relieved leaving Serena in your hands.”
Audrey had always known that Zack was one of the most outstanding young men in Wiltspoon. Her daughter had a good eye.
However, they were not destined to be together.
Instead, Zack became her nephew–in–law. At least he did not fall into the hands of someone else.
Audrey and Elisa left.
Zack walked them to their car before going back.
