Chapter 217 Let's Go Home
Lyla sobbed while begging Camila, âCamila, I know it was my mistake. I honestly know that it was
my fault. I just feel like you're better than me in everything, and I'm so jealous of you. Let me go this
time, and I promise you that I'll never do such things to you in the future, okay?â Camila grabbed
Lyla by her collar while glaring at her viciously. âYou should have thought of the current
consequences when you did that to my son.â After snarling, Camila smashed Lylaâs head against the
ground again, producing a loud thud. It was another huge blow, and Lyla saw white spots blooming
in her vision. After feeling as if her world was spinning, she fainted again. When she was woken up
by a basin of cold water the second time, Lyla only had one thought in her mind. Please just let me
die! The same cycle went on several times before Camila put aside her fierce and ruthless aura. She
looked down at the disheveled Lyla, who was slumped on the floor. âHave you learned your lesson
this time?â Lyla seemed as if she had lost her mind; she did not scream in pain, nor did she beg for
mercy anymore. Camilaâs lips curled into a cruel smirk. âYou'd better remember this-I'll end your life
if this happens again!â Upon saying that, she stood up to leave the room. Lone Wolf, who was
standing just outside of the room, asked while chuckling, âHave you vented your frustrations?â
Camila put aside her cruel and fierce aura, and she answered, âCan you guys please toss her out?
Throw her away as far as possible; I don't want to cause trouble for you
guys.â
Lone Wolf answered while smiling at her, âNo worries. Nobody has the courage to create trouble for
us!â
Camila chuckled when she heard that too. âSouth is still young. Thank you for looking after him.â
Lone Wolf replied to her, âNo, South is very mature, and he doesn't seem like a young child at all.
Otherwise, our group wouldn't have only realized that today.â Camila was slightly surprised. âYou
guys didnât know about his age?â Lone Wolf cackled while answering her, âYup, only I knew about it,
but the others didn't. Before Peacock met him, she had been fantasizing on developing a love
relationship with him! She was even asking him unhappily whether he would mind if
his girlfriend were older than him by more than ten years.â Camila laughed in embarrassment. âYou
guys have such a good vibe. It is no wonder South fancy you guys so much.â âHis family is our
family. From now on, just holler at us if you need any help at all!â answered Lone Wolf. Camila
nodded. âSure; I design clothes, and I'm practicing medicine. Just let me know if you need anything
from these fields!" Lone Wolf laughed. âSure.â They both chatted while making their way to the
conference room. At that moment, Silas and South were no longer in front of the computer; instead,
they were seated on the couch obediently. South dashed to Camila when he saw her. âMommy,â
Camila bent down to pick him up. âLet's go home!â South nodded while bidding farewell to the few
people in the headquarters. Finally, they left the Will-oâ-Wisp Headquarters. Camila was adamant on
holding onto South until they got into the car. Silas offered to carry South for a few times, but she
just wouldn't let go of him. Silas knew that the child was not the only scared one-Camila was scared
witless too. The intensity of the cruelty Camila had for Lyla was directly proportionate to how scared
she was!
Both mother and son had relied on each other to survive for many years, and so they always had
each other's best interest at heart.
After getting into the car, Kyle drove, whereas Silas sat in the front seat. Camila and South sat in the
back of the car. The pair were clinging onto each other, and they looked especially pitiful and
helpless. Silas felt as if his heart was being stabbed over countless times, and it ached constantly.
They arrived at Muse Peninsula. A man and woman welcomed them as soon as they got out of the
car. âCamila, is the child alright?â
"Kate, why are you here?â Camila was shocked. Kate answered anxiously, âI phoned you many times,
but you didn't pick up, and so I figured I'd wait here for you. How is the little guy?â Camila answered
her, "He's fine. Donât you know the passcode to my house? Why didn't you wait inside?â
Kate smiled while glancing at the man beside her. âJasper mentioned that heâs a stranger, and so it's
inappropriate to enter your home. Therefore, we waited in the
car.â
