Chapter 343 Promise
When she said this, Camila took a deep breath and tears were streaming down her closed eyes. Silas
felt his heart ache and patted her hands lightly. âDonât be sad because it's all over now.â
Camila continued her tale. âThose were the darkest days of my life and it went on for a year. If it
weren't for George, South and I would not have survived till today. I was saved by the main doctor
because of George as well. It was George who begged him to save me and promised him to earn
enough money to pay him back ten times the ransom that he had spent on me.â âIn truth, he has
actually paid back his debt, but he stays in the clinic and never goes anywhere. He occasionally goes
out with his friend to do some business on diamonds, but he will return in ten or fifteen days just to
repay the main doctor for saving us as well as teaching us how to heal and save lives.â "When I went
back to the Double Dragon Court, I was really frightened to see George's appearance. He looked no
different from a corpse. I had thought he would die, but he gradually recovered. I kept trying to
come up with ways to repay his kindness.â âHe knows how grateful I am to him and told me to think
nothing about it, but how can I? He is the savior of South and I, and I almost caused him to die.
Wouldn't that be repaying his kindness with hate? I stayed next to him every day and night, and he
joked that I should marry him to show my gratitude, but at that time, I only thought of him as
family, and I was just betrayed by Miles and Lyla. I had no interest in finding a boyfriend, so I made a
promise with him that one day, when he mentions this promise, I will do what he asks of me no
matter what! But he has never mentioned this promise even once for so many years.â Silas's brows
tightened fiercely. He didnât blame Camila for making such an agreement so easily. Putting himself
in her position and thinking about it, he could understand her decision. There really was no way to
repay George for what he did. He just blamed himself for not finding her earlier, which caused her
to have suffered
so much. To think she was able to leave the Double Dragon Court, the worldâs number one killer
mercenary organization. Its members were chosen through a strict live-or-die
elimination and he couldnt imagine how she survived that place when she was pregnant
âWeren't you pregnant at that time? Did you also participate in the live-or-die trial?â Camila
answered, âYes, but at that time, George had a good relationship with Jonathan Lee. He made an
exception for me because of him and asked me to participate in the trial after giving birth. I
managed to survive till the end of the trial
thanks to George pulling some strings in the dark, and thanks to him, we all took on some less
dangerous tasks. Later, when the incident with the necklace happened, we realized that there was
no way out after all, and it just so happened that the main doctor and Jonathan Lee knew each
other and paid 20 million voluntarily. So, it was considered that we committed suicide and were
taken off the list!â
Silas couldn't even imagine what it was like at that time, but he could feel cold sweat dripping down
his back as he listened to her. If it weren't for the doctor's willingness to spend money to buy their
lives in order for them to leave the organization, it would be really hard to say whether they were
alive or dead now. He hugged her tightly, feeling distressed. It felt as if his heart was pierced by
thousands of needles and it ached. âI'm sorry! I'm sorry!â He was the one who caused her to suffer
so much. Camila patted his back lightly. âThere, there. What are you apologizing for? I'm telling you
this not because I want to complain to you, but because I want you to understand my feelings for
George, and that I can't abandon him just because of you.â As she said this, she grabbed Silas's
hand and looked into his eyes lovingly âDuring this period of time, you, my boyfriend, have suffered
a lot of grievances. I didn't explain anything and always asked for your understanding, which was
unreasonable for you. Since it never happened to you, there's no way for you to empathize.
Moreover, this was a secret. Once we are taken off the organization's list, we can't talk about it
anymore, plus it's difficult to explain in a few sentences. I don't dare to let George know of your
existence because I am worried that he will not let me be with you using that promise, where I can't
say no to him! Can you understand me now?â
