Chapter 124: Please Reassure Me
Cammy pushed herself to focus, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she tried to clear as many tasks as possible while keeping an eye on Dylan. Thankfully, she didn’t have to do much, his caregiver was there.
Dylan was happily absorbed in his studies, typing away on his laptop as he practiced coding.
She had already told him about Duncan’s condition, but his young mind couldn’t fully grasp the severity of it. Maybe he would when he finally saw him, bruised, weak, and nowhere near the powerful, unshakable man he had always known.
A sudden knock pulled Cammy from her thoughts, but before she could even say come in, the door swung open.
"Uncle Greg!" Dylan’s face lit up with joy as he stared at him from the bed.
Dylan’s eyes gleamed with excitement. The delicious aroma of freshly prepared dishes filled the room, momentarily easing the weight on Cammy’s shoulders. But as she met Greg’s gaze, she could tell, that this visit wasn’t just about lunch.
"Oh no, I completely forgot to tell you," Cammy blurted out, her face shifting from surprise to guilt.
Greg’s brows knitted together as he gave her a sharp look. "Forgot to tell me what? What’s going on, Cammy?"
She hesitated for a moment before sighing. "Duncan was rushed to the emergency room last night. He’s in the VIP room next door now. We planned to have lunch there so Dylan could see him."
She ran a hand through her hair, frustration was obvious in her voice. "I was so exhausted from lack of sleep, work, and the things that happened yesterday, that I completely forgot you were coming today. I’m really sorry..." She offered him an awkward, apologetic smile.
Greg’s expression softened, though a hint of concern remained. "That’s fine. Just take this food with you so you don’t have to go out and buy more," he said, setting the bags down on the table. But then his frown deepened. "Wait—he got admitted? That must mean it was serious. What happened?"
