Ayan said in a cold voice, âWould you want to stay and eat with us?â
âNope, it's not up to her.â Rex narrowed his eyes and gave Bella a cold
look. âAre you familiar with them?â
He didn't want to humor her at all.
Bella's face stiffened and she got silent.
Rex looked at Ayan, âI'm gonna go.â
âWell.â Ayan murmured.
Rex left first, followed by Bella.
The room was particularly quiet. Camille looked at Sienna next to her
subconsciously, only to see her eating as nothing happened. When met
Camille's gaze, she asked with a smile, âWhy are you looking at me?
Enjoy your dinner. I'm fine.â
Camille looked cold and worried.
Ayan volunteered to explain, âI didn't call him.â
âWell, that's alright. What does it matter? Couldn't I come to Hance City
just because of him?"
Sienna didnât mind at all. However, according to what Camille knew
about her, the more indifferent she was, the upset she was.
The atmosphere became gloomy when Rex and Bella appeared.
On the way home, Sienna spoke actively. And she almost wrote the
words âI'm fineâ on her head for Camille to read.
Sienna lived in grandma's apartment. Camille was worried about her so
she wanted to be with her. However, Sienna saw through and refused
her, âWell, I'm really fine. My heart is not made from glasses. I know it's
all in the past. I'm supposed to look forward. I'm really tired today and I
want to go to bed early. I have to work for you tomorrow!â
Camille pursed her lips and twisted her eyebrows slightly, âCall me if
you need me.â
âI gett.â
She nodded and entered with Camille gazing after her.
She gave Camille a faint smile as she closed the door but on closing
the door, the smile disappeared immediately without any expression
leaving in her face.
She thought she could forget the man thoroughly but now she realized
that so-called oblivion was just because no one mentioned him, which
meant she had nothing to do with him. However, she never really
deleted the person from her memory and her heart.
Back to the apartment, Camille was still a bit worried and asked, âIs
Sienna really fine?"
âDo you want to be with her?â
Ayan asked in a low voice. Instead, Camille shook her head. It would
be better to let her calm down alone.
But she a little curious, âWhy did Rex know we were eating at
Darkmoor? Did he arrange for somebody to follow Sienna?â
âI don't think so. Maybe the waiter mentioned us in front of him. He
thought that it was just the two of us and came over to say hello.â
âHe greeted us with Bella, did we know her well?"
Camille was defensive apparently and didn't like Bella very much.
Ayan smiled and reached out to take her into his arms, asking in a low
voice, âI'll remind him not to meet with us with Bella, alright?â
Camille didnât say anything, but it was obvious that she did think so in
her heart.
After all, she was Siennaâs best friend. They should be of one mind.
Sienna was sleepless that night. She tossed and turned but couldn't fall
asleep at all. Finally, she got up and ordered a drink. After that, she
nestled alone by the floor-to-ceiling window and slipped one by another.
She thought she would fall asleep when she got drunk. However, the
more she drunk, the more sober she was. At the end, she was still
awake. She only knew her whole body was uncomfortable but her brain
couldn't think at all.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Sienna was taken to the
hospital because she drank too much and caused an alcohol overdose.
It was almost dawn after a series of tests. Sienna had her stomach
pumped and the anesthetic still lingered on. So, Camille and Ayan sat
down on the sofa to wait for her.
Ayan hugged the woman beside him and whispered, âClose your eyes
and rest for a while. I'll call you when she wakes up, alright?â
Camille shook her head, âI'm not sleepy.â
âDonât think about it too much. She is already an adult. There are
always some decisions that even the best friend couldn't make for her.â
Camille was silent and she didnât reply for him.
Even though she knew Ayan had a point, she felt guilty for not taking
good care of Sienna.
Camille didn't take a break nearly half the night, she couldn't hold back
her eyes and fell asleep an hour later.
Ayan put her on the couch, covered her with his coat and turned up the
temperature of the air conditioner before exiting the word.
He picked up his phone and hesitated for a second. Eventually, he
called Rex.
Rex had not yet woken up at the time. He was surprised to receive his
call, âAyan, what's up?â
âAre you alone?â
âWhat are you talking about? Of-course I'm alone. Will you accompany
me?â
Rex said with a sarcastic smile.
Ayan said indifferently, âSienna is in the hospital. She had her stomach
pumped just now and hasn't woken up yet.â
âWhat's wrong with her?â
âI donât know what's wrong with her. I just know she was poisoned for
alcohol at midnight.â
Ayan spoke slightly but Rex listened seriously.
He kept silent because he didn't know what to say.
Then Ayan said, âIt's your call.â
He cut off the call without giving him a chance to talk.
Sienna woke up around eight o'clock a.m. Ayan left for work and
Camille stayed here herself.
Sienna opened her eyes and saw Camille sitting next to her hospital
bed. She reached out and pulled down Camille's arms gently and
whispered, âCamille ..."
Hearing her voice, Camille looked at her immediately, âHow are you
feeling now? Do you feel uncomfortable?â
Sienna shook her head, âSorry to trouble you again.â
âThere is no need for us to say such words.â
Sienna smiled faintly, looking pale for having her stomach pumped just
now.
She couldn't eat anything yet but she was very thirsty. Camille didnât
dare to bring her water, so she had to ask the doctor.
Within half a minute of Camille's departure, the door was pushed open
again.
Considering it was Camille, Sienna asked, âSo fast?â
Then she looked over her shoulder, only to find that it wasn't Camille
who came in, but Rex.
Looking at each other, her face stiffened slightly and said indifferently,
âWhy are you here?â
âYou ...Are you OK?"
Rex asked in a low voice and looked calm.
Sienna pressed her lips and said lightly, âI'm fine.â
The atmosphere quieted down.
Neither spoke again.
Rex was standing while Sienna was lying down.
They stayed until Camille came in with water. On seeing Rex, she was
stunned and asked, âWhy are you here?â
âI'm here to visit her. That's alright. You stay with her and I won't bother
you.â That done, he looked at Sienna and said, âHave a good rest.â
Sienna didn't reply for him. The interaction between the two was
particularly awkward.
After Camille gazed after Rex, she walked to the bed with water and sat
down. Then she took a straw and put it in Siennaâs mouth.
She didnât ask any questions, which made Sienna a bit uneasy.
Sienna said, âDonât you want to say something?â
âWhat to say?â
âDonât you want to know what I'm thinking in my mind?"
âWell, what are you thinking?â
It seemed that Camille didnât care about it at all.
Sienna ignored her âperfunctoryâ and simply said with a frown, âI feel
that I'm duplicitous. I can't live up to what I say.â
Probably everyone will have the trouble that it is always difficult to
achieve what they said easily.
Camille spent the morning with Sienna in the hospital. She was fine
and would be released in the afternoon. But she had to keep a light diet
for the next two days.
At noon, grandma called and asked Camille to come over. Making sure
that it was alright for Sienna to stay alone, she went to see grandma.
Grandma rarely came to Camille, so she was a bit worried, âGrandma,
is something wrong with you? Shall I ask Dr. Ellis to come over?â
