Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 1011

Later when the sun was already hanging high in the sky, Camren was sleeping in one of the rooms at Griffith Manor. Suddenly, Rebecca barged in by kicking the door open before pulling the blanket off the old man. "Stop pretending, Abbott! Get up and go back to where you belong!"

However, he only turned around in bed slowly, weakly revealing his pale face, unlike the rosy cheeks he had earlier that morning. He then lay down straight and coughed several times, speaking weakly. "Here you are, Becky. Here, have a seat."

When she saw the man's reaction, she began to feel a little hesitant. "Stop pretending. Our daughter told us everything. You're not sick at all. You're only here to stir up trouble, so leave before it gets ugly. The guards will show you the door when I say the word."

Then, as soon as the woman finished her words, the bathroom door opened, and Jessie came out with a dustbin. Nevertheless, the moment she saw Rebecca, she quickly hid the bin behind her. She acted as if she was guilty of doing something shady.

"What are you hiding? Show it to me." Rebecca was tempted to find out what was going on.

"Nothing, madam." Jessie's body tensed as she rapidly shook her head.

"Give it to me!" Impatient with Jessie's little games, Rebecca charged at her and snatched the bin.

In the meantime, Jessie had no intention of hiding the bin from her either. After putting up a little resistance, she did as Camren told her earlier and gave it to Rebecca, standing aside obediently. On the other hand, Rebecca instantly appeared worried when she peed at the inside of the bin with bloodied tissue papers. "Wait, what? You're sick, indeed?" Rebecca was bewildered as she asked with a soft voice.

"Well, now that you’ve already found that out, I suppose there is nothing else I can hide. Perhaps, my karma has caught up with me, but I do not blame anyone for my misery. Instead, my only regret is my failure to make it up to you, Becky. Don't tell Arie about my condition, girl. She has no idea about the truth at all—" Camren coughed violently as he struggled to get back up and leaned on the headstand. While Rebecca was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, her eyes fixed on the bin, Camren added, "Don't be sad, Becky. I'm at least happy that I can see you and our daughter before I die. Please don't worry about me—" Camren comforted Rebecca, but before he could finish his sentence, he started to cough again.

Meanwhile, Jessie, watching aside, couldn't help but feel impressed with Camren's good acting, thinking he would make a good actor if he worked in the entertainment industry.

"Save your breath." Then, Rebecca took the plastic bag out of the bin and took it away. Nonetheless, she doubled back after several steps and said, "No illness is incurable with modern medical technology today. You mustn't die yet because you need to live long enough to repay us your debt!" She walked out the door upon finishing her sentence.

"Why is it only you, Mom?" Ariel, who had been waiting downstairs, was surprised to see only Rebecca when she thought her mother could have settled her father.

"He is old, and his days are numbered, so I have no reason to be mean to him." Rebecca sighed in response.

"What are you talking about, Mom? Didn't I tell you earlier? He's pretending." Ariel couldn't believe she would fall for Camren's acting, although she always thought of her mother as an intelligent and shrewd woman. Because of that, she didn't know whether that was disappointing or laughable.

"I don't care whether that's true or not. I'll look after him while you carry on with your life. So, I'm going to go back and pack my stuff. Then, I'll move in and stay here." Rebecca was ready to dedicate her time to caring for Camren from then on.

"What's wrong, Mom? Are you devastated or something?" Ariel sensed something wrong with her mother's strange behavior.

"Devastated? Let's assume your mom has finally gotten over it, Honey. Furthermore, we should always respect our elders' wishes." Danny pulled Ariel aside with him.

"I must get to the bottom of the truth, or Rylantha could pay us a visit and blame us for that." Ariel didn't want any unforeseen trouble.
