Chapter 5

A force from behind shoved me to the ground, my head slamming straight into the gravestone.

Cameron almost threw himself to the ground, patting at the flames on Xanthe’s body.

He stared at me, eyes blazing with fury.

Are you sick in the head Even if you targeted her at work, she only came to comfort you and tell you not to be too sad. Why did you hit her

His gaze was like ice spikes, as if he wanted to pierce holes through me.

The thick smoke made me cough violently.

She she talked about my poor child

Mr Cameron, how do you know I targeted her at work

He frowned slightly, lips pressed together for a long moment before speaking.

Of course I heard it from other people Is that not the truth

My brother and the child died in an accident. She only stated the facts. You had no right to lay hands on her

Apologize to Xanthe right now

Before I could argue, Xanthe spoke first.

Forget it. She lost her husband and child. It is understandable that she lost control emotionally.

I just lost my footing earlier. It has nothing to do with Boss Ulyssa. I will not go around saying anything either.

Her tone was full of grievance, but the look she gave me was nothing but provocation.

I was so angry that my lungs felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing them tight.

I was just about to take out the asthma inhaler from my bag and take a few puffs.

Xanthe across from me suddenly clutched her chest, gasping in pain.

Shengzhi Cameron cried out in alarm, turning to me anxiously. The inhaler Hurry

The moment something happened to her, Cameron lost his composure. He could not even be bothered to pretend anymore.

You just came back to the country. How do you know I have asthma

He froze for a second and did not answer.

He yanked my coat over and snatched my inhaler.

This inhaler is only enough for me Take her to the hospital

Cameron flew into a rage at once. How could my brother like someone like you Seeing her asthma attack and you are even reluctant to give her medicine, pretending that you are having an attack too

Look at you standing there perfectly fine. I never thought you were someone so heartless, letting others die

Watching him panic as he gave Xanthe the medicine, the last trace of hope in my heart was completely crushed.

Looking at their departing backs, I knew there was no longer any possibility between us.

Stars burst before my eyes, and my body crashed heavily to the ground.

Cough cough Peiyun medicine

I struggled to stretch out my hand, trying to grasp something.

Xanthe smiled instead, with a hint of mockery. Is he testing you Did you fall on purpose

Cameron did not even look at me. Supporting Xanthe, he hurried away.

The world before my eyes grew more and more blurred, my breathing more and more difficult.

With the last bit of strength I had, I dialed his number.

Pei Peiyun I asthma medicine hospital

Sister in law, stop playing around. His tone was full of ridicule. I really do not understand why you are so hostile toward Xanthe, targeting her at every turn.

But I really am now

Enough enough. I am taking Xanthe to the hospital now. I do not have time to play along with you. He cut me off impatiently.

The call was disconnected.

I fell completely into darkness.

When I woke up again, the sharp smell of disinfectant rushed into my nose.

Before I could even thank whoever had sent me to the hospital, my assistant’s call came through.

Boss Ulyssa, the share transfer contract is ready. It is just waiting for your signature.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I will come sign it right away.

Cameron called it helping me share the pressure.

But ever since Xanthe parachuted into the company this year as general manager,

the company has been losing money nonstop.
