Cameron opened the messenger app and read the message: "Cameron, are you free tomorrow?"


    "I am, what''s up?" Cameron replied sinctly.


    "That''s great!" Tara responded with a joyful emoji.


    Cameron raised an eyebrow. Feeling uneasy, he quickly sent a "?" back.


    He felt that whenever Tara sought him out, it rarely boded well. Previously, she wanted him as a test subject and, another time, to pretend to be her boyfriend at a party hosted by Kelvin.


    "What now? I haven''t even told you why I looked for you,"


    Tara replied, sending a cute emoji.


    "Just spit it out... What is it this time?" Cameron responded with a heavier tone.


    Indeed, Tara needed Cameron''s help again. Sensing his wariness, she thought it better to speak in person tomorrow to avoid an immediate refusal.


    So, she used an excuse Cameron couldn''t reject. "If you''re free tomorrow, I could really use your help with my grandfather''s illness."


    He thought it was about Dn. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, no problem."


    "Hehe, that''s great. Could you maybee a bit earlier?" she asked.


    "Are you in a hurry, doctor?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "Um... A little."


    "Is there a problem with your grandfather?"


    "No, my grandfather is fine."


    "Then why do you seem so urgent?"


    "Do I? Maybe I just really want my grandfather to be discharged from the hospital soon."


    "Alright then," Cameron replied before asking another question. "Are you sure there''s nothing else you need from me?"


    "No..." As Tara typed this, she hesitated momentarily, then quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Lena has been staying with me and my grandfather. When youe, she might have something she wants to say to you."


    "Lena wants to talk to me?" Cameron was taken aback. "What about it?"


    He had sessfully been distracted.


    "I''m not sure, but you''ll find out tomorrow," Tara decided to bait Cameron over.


    "Okay."


    Though Cameron felt it odd, he didn''t dwell on it.


    "See you tomorrow, then."


    "See you tomorrow," Cameron replied as he furrowed his brow.


    He wondered what Lena could want to discuss with him and why she wouldn''t speak directly to him instead.


    Puzzled by this, he put his phone down as the sound of the shower stopped.


    Wearing a white nightgown, Dakota emerged from the bathroom. Her cheeks flushed with the warmth of the steam. Cameron looked up from his phone.


    "I''m done showering, it''s your turn..." Dakota said as she somewhat shyly covered her cheeks with her hands. "Okay."


    Cameron nodded and quickly took a cool shower.


    Dakota had already burrowed into


    the nkets when he came out, leaving only her little head visible.


    She was clearly preparing to prevent any mischief from Cameron.


    Her adorable actions made Cameron chuckle. "Dakota, you look just like a silkworm wrapped in silk right now."


    "Stop saying that." Dakota bit her lip and gave Cameron a yful re.


    "Ha ha!" Cameronughed heartily. "Won''t you feel hot sleeping like that?"


    "I won''t..." Dakota whispered back, though she was already feeling quite warm. Despite the air conditioning, the summer heat made it stuffy under the nkets. "Don''t worry, I absolutely won''t cross the line tonight."


    "Really?" Dakota needed reassurance.


    "Really, a liar will get their pants on fire," Cameron swore by raising his hand.


    With Cameron''s promise, Dakota then opened the nkets for a bit.


    The ripples in her eyes deepened at that moment. It wasn''t that she didn''t want closer contact with Cameron, but she was concerned


    about the noise they might

    After all, Jane''s top concern these
