Chapter 1148
Married at First Sight
Camrynâs aunt heard that there was a specialist in Annenburg. She thought of begging the specialist to treat Camrynâs eyes. Her aunt said even if it was not possible to meet the said. specialist, it would be good to have the specialistâs apprentice take a look at Camrynâs condition as well.
The specialistâs apprentice was Camrynâs last hope.
After a long period of treatment, Camryn could vaguely see. However, her vision was so unclear that she was no different from a blind person. Even so, she was elated and hopeful of regaining her sight.
Nevertheless, she did not dare let anyone else know apart from her aunt.
Anyhow, she was like a blind person right now, not able to see.
âMs. Newman, how do you know there are other people in my store when youâre visually impaired?â
Camryn laughed and replied, âWhen I entered your store, I heard their footsteps. The steady footsteps belong to the men whom I guess are your bodyguards.â
Serenity and Jasmine exchanged glances.
It was said that the blind had exceptional hearing, which turned out to be true.
Serenity called over two bodyguards and did as Camryn said. She was worried that the bodyguards would be overly rough with Camryn and end up hurting her, so she deliberately reminded them, âGo easy on Ms. Newman. Just make it seem rough, but donât hurt her for real.â
Despite Camrynâs visual impairment, all men would want to care for and sympathize with al woman like her who was petite and had a small face.
Serenity wished she could take care of Camryn on behalf of her brotherâinâlaw.
âMissus, weâll control our strength.â
The two bodyguards kicked Camryn out of the bookstore together with the gifts she had brought.
The bodyguards brought Camryn to the front of the car shortly after. Then, they threw Camryn onto the floor and hurled the gifts at her. One of the bodyguards said coldly, âGet lost!â
One of them was talkative and said frostily, âThe missus treats you so well. If it werenât for you, her car wouldnât have crashed. Yet youâre asking the missus to be merciful, huh? How ungrateful of you. Get lost!â
The bodyguards turned around and walked away.
Mrs. Newman got out of the car only after the bodyguards left. She walked toward Camryn but did not help her stand up.
âDid you manage to settle it?â
Seated on the floor, Camryn groped around to get back her white cane, but Mrs. Newman kicked it away.
âYou canât even settle such a small issue, you useless thing!
âMrs. Yorkâs car crashed. If she had not learned selfâdefense, she wouldâve been admitted to the hospital. It angered her so much that she refused to forgive Carrie. I begged her, but both of us are merely acquaintances. Weâre not close, in fact.
âWhy would she show respect for me? Even though I did as you said, it didnât help. Sheâs insistent on pressing charges against Carrie.â
After Mrs. Newman insulted Camryn exasperatedly for being useless, she swung around and got into the car. She ordered the bodyguards, âLetâs go home.â
âMomâ¦â
âDonât call me Mom! I wish I hadnât given birth to you. Youâre a troublemaker who makes life hard for Carrie and me. Carrie is suffering all because of you. Camryn, let me tell you, Iâll make things difficult for you since my daughter is having a hard time.â
With that, Mrs. Newman told the chauffeur to drive away.
She left.
Camryn had been hurt by her biological mother so much that she had long since turned numb. She listened to Mrs. Newmanâs words, but they did not cause her any more pain.
Camryn learned something from her biological mother, namely that not all mothers loved their children.
