Chapter 1377: Guidance
Chapter 1377: Guidance
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The Simpson family had already been informed of the situation, and both Fletcher and Talia had arrived at Franklin Bay to
console Camille. However, seeing Camille''s rtively stable state, without the expected breakdown, the words offort that
were on the tip of their tongues remained unspoken.
Camille lightly pursed her lips and, proactively changing the subject, she looked at Talia and asked, "Mom, do you think I''m quite
cold-blooded?"
After all, it was not typical for a daughter to remain so calm upon hearing such news about her mother.
Several hours had passed since learning of the incident, and it was already past eight in the evening. Yet, Camille had not shed
a single tear, nor had she shown any signs of breaking down.
Her detached demeanor was indeed abnormal, but given her strained rtionship with the Armstrong family, her reaction was
somewhat expected.
Talia was taken aback by Camille''s question but then walked over to sit beside her, soothingly saying, "Cami, whatever your
reaction is, it''s your most genuine one. Not shedding tears at this moment does not make you cold-hearted. It may be that their
actions have left you unable to express the expected reaction right now. But that doesn''t mean you''re abnormal. How could |
possibly think you''re cold-blooded?"
“Exactly, Cami. You don''t have to feel any pressure. We are all family, and how she has treated you as a mother is evident to
everyone. So no one has the right to judge or manipte your emotions."
Fletcher also chimed in.
They had not brought Timmy along, fearing that they wouldn''t have the time to attend to him properly at this moment, so they had
left Timmy under the care of Mrs. Ward for the time being.
After soothing Camille for a while, Talia reassured her not to doubt herself.
As it was gettingte, the two finally took their leave.
Camille had hardly eaten dinner, so Ayan had the maid cook up a bowl of noodles, personally bringing it upstairs for Camille.
Camille was chatting with Sienna when Ayan left without lingering and went to the study.
Camille, of course, did not conceal anything from Sienna regarding the Armstrong family''s situation. Sienna expressed shock, but
given the circumstances, she refrained from joining Camille in their usualints about Page''s bias and favoritism.
Sienna murmured softly, "How could this have happened? Cami, she''ll be fine. Do not worry too much; everything will turn out
okay."
But these were just words offort.
How could someone survive such a fall from a high cliff?
However, Camille didn''t mind. Instead, she responded to Sienna, saying, "Honestly, I''ve epted the fact that she fell off the cliff.
What | can''tprehend is why it happened. Their rtionship was clearly strained; they even came to argue with me a few
days ago. Judging from her behavior at that time, their rtionship was very rocky. So how could they have gone on a trip
together?"
Camille didn''t hide anything and even told Page about Brody''s affair because the matter was no longer a secret.
Page knew about it but had not yet discovered who the other person was, hence the ongoing conflict between them. Given their
situation, reconciliation seemed unlikely.
Camille couldn''t understand it herself and couldn''t provide a convincing answer.
So her mood was truly terrible.
Her words gave Sienna a daring guess, and she spoke without reservation, "Cami, are you suggesting that she might have been
pushed? Perhaps on the surface, their reconciliation was just an act? Like the ones seen on TV, perhaps they had already
nned her death, making it look like an ident to benefit both parties?"
Sienna voiced Camille''s suspicions, leaving Camille speechless for a while. She sat in silence, and the bowl of noodles Ayan had
brought had not been touched.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Camille seemed lost in thought for a while before finally saying, "If that''s the case, then his n has truly misfired.”
She no longer wanted to dwell on who was at fault or who had wronged whom. But based on this alone, Brody was too
heartless, too ruthless.
If even one''s partner was calctive, then that man deserved to die a thousand deaths.
Camille''s emotions became
somewhat agitated as she continued,
"Once Grace returns to the country, |
will seek her opinio epgst
ths sroginatioul the matter. If she''s
really fine, then that''s a good thing.
But we need to find out, not only to
prevent a recurrence but also to
understand. And if anything happens
to her, it''s even more imperative to
get to the bottom of it." Please read

Sienna nodded in agreement, adding,
"Yes, | Support you. Your thoughts are
right. We can''t just let it go beaauisel

investigating because it already
urred. You may agree, but if
someone who knows about this
incident points fingers at you and
Grace, what then?" Please read the

"| know, that''s why | don''t want to turn a blind eye to it."
Although Page had treated her poorly, Camille was still grateful because the act of giving birth was an undeniable fact.
She couldn''t run away or avoid it.
The two continued their conversation for a while, and Camille''s pent-up emotions gradually dissipated.
Ayan returned to the bedroom and
saw her sitting on the couch lost in
thought. He approachedher Gently’

anything you want. Don''t keep it to
yourself. If you feel ufortable
telling me, then tell Sienna, okay?"

"Okay, | understand." Camille nodded softly.
And so, the two sat quietly, with Ayan no longer urging her to eat. If she didn’t want it, she wouldn''t eat. He didn''t remind her that
it waste and time to sleep. If she didn''t want to sleep, then so be it.
Everything was ording to her wishes.
Time passed, and the two remained on the couch, silent. Eventually, the person in Ayan''s arms closed her eyes. He called out
softly, but there was no response. He then gently lifted her and carried her to bed.
