"Don''t you have slippers?" Cam asked, puzzled.


    "Not matching ones," Connor replied with a straight face.


    A sweet smile crept across Cam''s face, lighting up her eyes.


    From that moment on, it was like a switch had flipped in Connor. Every time they walked down an aisle, he''d spot something meant for couples and toss it into the cart without hesitation-electric toothbrushes, towels, mugs...


    The cart filled up in no time.


    As they lined up to check out, Connor had a sudden thought. While Cam wasn''t looking, he quickly grabbed a few boxes of ''protection'' from the shelf near the cashier and tossed them into the cart. Cam didn''t notice a thing. But as the cashier scanned each item, those unfamiliar boxes popped up on the screen, making her face turn bright red.


    She widened her eyes at the items, then shot a nce at Connor, who was acting all nonchnt, as if he had nothing to do with it.


    After paying, Connor carried their tworge bags and walked out of the store.


    "What... what was that about?" Cam finally blurted out.


    Connor turned around, his eyes twinkling mischievously as he looked at Cam''s flushed cheeks. "Which one?"


    "I don''t know, they just appeared!" Cam pretended to rummage through the shopping bags.


    Connor quickly hid the bags behind him, leaned in close to Cam''s ear, and whispered, "Those are essentials for our future..."


    Cam gave him a look, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red, and shyly turned her head away. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a familiar face.


    "Isn''t that York''s friend? Why is he wearing a delivery uniform?" Cam eximed in surprise.


    Connor followed her gaze. At the supermarket entrance, a young man was waiting to pick up a delivery.


    "I''ll go check," Cam said, feeling a sudden wave of unease.


    Connor followed her as they approached the young man.


    "Hi, do you remember me? I''m Drew''s sister," Cam said politely.


    The man looked startled, then his expression turned panicky.


    He lifted his head to look at Cam, unease clear in his eyes.


    "Yeah... I remember," he stammered.


    "York told us you got him a job too, delivering?" Cam pressed.


    The man lowered his head, silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Yeah."


    Cam was stunned.


    "York lied to us..." She turned to

    Cam''s mind reeled. So that''s why Drew hadn''t attended their mother''s wedding-it wasn''t because he was busy with work, but because he was in the hospital.


    And during their mother''s illness, he had somehow brought thirty thousand dors. Where did that moneye from?


    Connor gently took Cam''s hand,forting her, "Don''t worry, let''s go see him at the hospital now."


    They hurriedly drove to the hospital.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
