Chapter 238


    “I’m sorry.” Drew was dragged to the door, then turned around to bow deeply. “Also, thank you.”


    ire nodded at Drew with a relieved smile.


    After the three of them left, the house finally returned to its peaceful state. Immediately, ire


    cradled Cam’s face to check for any harm. Her voice was tinged with regret. “I didn’t protect you


    well enough.”


    Cam sniffled and shook her head.


    “It doesn’t hurt.”


    ire wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, watched her daughter tenderly, and said, “From


    now on, it’s just going to be the two of us against the world.”


    Cam hugged her, gently patting her back tofort her, “I’ll always be with you. I’ll make lots of


    money, and ahead of us are only good days.”


    ire stroked Cam’s face, sobbing lightly, “I feel so sorry for you.”


    Cam smiled and said seriously, “Were you not feeding me enough or not letting me go to school?


    Besides, you even made me so beautiful that others are jealous.”


    ire couldn’t help butugh. “Why are you so narcissistic?”


    They exchanged a smile, gradually the pain eased in their hearts.


    ire got some ointment for Cam, furious. “I could never bring myself to hit you, my precious girl,


    and that bitch did.”


    Cam chuckled, “Isn’t it because I’m well-behaved?”


    “Enough with your joking. Tomorrow, your face will still show the marks. That Melinda has such a


    strong arm.”


    Cam embraced her. “One p to set boundaries. I think it was worth it.”


    Sheughed again, showing off her arm muscles to ire. “Her face will definitely be swollen like a


    pig’s head tomorrow. I’ve been training, you know.”


    After saying that, she paused for a moment. She lowered her eyes, taking a soft breath.


    All her skills were taught by Connor.


    ire pinched her arm, which was surprisingly muscr. “You do have some muscle.”


    Cam looked up, smiling, “Mom, I’m hungry.”


    “I’ll make us something to eat right now,” ire said as she touched her head.

    Ding-dong —


    The doorbell rang, and ire, after checking the peephole, opened the door.


    Cole saw ire’s red eyes, and asked anxiously, “Why have you been crying?”


    ire shook her head, smiling, “It’s nothing.”


    “I saw that your shop was closed today, so I got a bit worried, and came to check on you,” Cole said


    with concern.


    “Hi Cole.” Cam greeted.


    “Cami’s here too,” noted Cole, hearing Cam’s voice and ncing inside. He frowned and asked


    sharply, “Cami, what happened to your face?”


    “Some nasty woman hit me.” Cam said with a smile, “I hit her back.”


    “Why didn’t you call me? Who did this? I’ll go sort it out!” Cole rolled up his sleeves, ready to stand


    up for them.


    ire closed the door and exined everything to him.


    “Cami, does it hurt?” Cole stared at Cam’s face anxiously. “How could she hit you so hard? I


    should call Craig over.”


    “Cole, I’m really okay,” Cam reassured him. “Don’t worry. Mom and I are feeling great now.”


    ire headed to the kitchen, saying, “I was just about to make dinner. If you’re not busy, stay and


    eat with us.”


    “Okay, awesome!” Cole’s face lit up instantly.


    Cam smiled at him, “Cole, you shoulde over for dinner more often.”


    “Sure,” Cole responded, turning his head towards the kitchen with a smile.


    Cam covered her mouth, giggling secretly.
