Chapter 244 He Is Just Her Family
Silas smiled and gestured at South to call him. âIâll leave now.â On the other hand, Camila could already see George Parsons standing by the community gates. He was a slender man wearing a dark blue coat, resembling a model. âGeorgeâ¦â She called him while running. He came forward and clicked his tongue.
âWhy are you running?â âI couldnât let you wait.â She looked at him playfully before reaching out for the luggage in his hands. âIâll help to carry it for you!â âNo need for that. Which floor do you live on?â âThe 59th floor.â âThatâs a rather high floor. No wonder it took you so long to get down.â âYeah. South just woke up, so I was coaxing him.â When she said those words, the corners of her lips twitched a few times due to her guilt. If he knows that I was actually coaxing a man in his twenties, I wonder if heâll spew his blood out. George naturally had no idea what Camila thought in her heart. âDoes South still need coaxing? He is such a good kid.â She awkwardly explained, âHe just woke up, so he threw a little tantrum with me.â
âWhat happened to you in the past few days?â She was still hesitant on whether to tell him, so he added, âIâm already here. Are you still trying to lie to me?â âItâs nothing. I had a nightmare that night.â George glanced at her. âWould you call me just because of a nightmare?â Camila took a deep breath. I really canât hide anything from him. âActually, itâs all fine now. That night, Lyla had kidnapped South, so my emotions were all jumbled up. During my sleep, I dreamed that she abused South and I was upset. I regretted that I didnât listen to you back then and insisted on returning. At that moment, I couldnât control my emotions, so I called you.â
Upon listening to her, George was taken aback. âSouth was kidnapped? Is he alright?â Camila replied, âHeâs fine. He is a smart kid. When we went over to look for him, he had already escaped.â When they entered the elevator, he asked again, âHow did he escape?â She could not hide anything from him, so she shared how South was able to contact the people in Will-oâ-Wisp Headquarters.
After that, George let out a huge sigh of relief. âHe is quite a smart kid; otherwise, the outcome would be devastating. Didnât you teach that woman a lesson?â
âI did. Now, she is still in the hospital!â she responded. âYou shouldnât show mercy to a woman like her.
How dare she lay her hands on a child!â His face darkened. She nodded her head. âShe has to stay in the hospital for at least half a month!â However, George was still enraged. âIsnât Lyla your half-sister?
What about your dad? Didnât you tell him? Look at what his favoritism has led to.â Camila smiled coldly while feeling miserable. âThere are some people whose partiality is unreasonable. He is partial toward the person and not to the things that she has done.â
George suddenly felt upset, so he smiled and patted her shoulder. âYou donât need to feel sad about it.
You also have someone who favors you. No matter what you do, I will always stand by your side.â
Camila glanced at him and pouted her lips. âDonât you favor me. I donât want to be at the center of everyoneâs attention. I didnât get any benefits yet all my juniors have accused you of favoring me.â He squinted his eyes. âDonât you feel guilty saying that?â âNot at all!â she grunted.
He then pointed at her head. âYou are always the heartless one!â Camila laughed loudly. The two of them continued to talk in the elevator. However, Silas observed their entire interaction as he sat in the surveillance room. He leaned his back against the chair while feeling sore for some reason. Before George had arrived, he still felt confident about himself. Who cares if they knew each other for 7 years?
In the end, she is still my girlfriend and he is just a family member to her, at most.
