Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 526

"But Mom, I promise that whenever you miss us, I'll set up a video call for you."

Given the current circumstances, the only option was to stall.

Even though she knew she couldn't stall forever, Camilla had no other choice.

The call that had everyone on edge finally ended. Tanner let out a long sigh of relief and turned to Camilla. "Camilla, did you ask Dr. Magee again? Is there really no other way?

"A year is just too long. I can see your mom has lost a lot of weight, and she looks so pale. I..."

"Dad, we all want you to get better as quickly as possible. If there were another way, Dr. Magee wouldn't keep it a secret.

"Your only job right now is to focus on resting. Stop worrying about everything else.

"The faster you recover, the sooner you'll see Mom. Don't you know that by now?" Camilla said.

Tanner finally yielded.

Camilla reminded him to get some rest, and everyone quietly exited the room.

Dahlia had originally come to the hospital to visit Magee, so seeing that Camilla had everything under control, she took her leave.

In the starkly quiet corridor, Carol spoke up. "Camilla, I'll be heading back to Cabinda soon. I'll make sure to visit Elise often.

"If anything comes up on your end, you must call me. Don't worry about being a bother.

"Also, Mahoney asked me to tell you that your intel was incredibly helpful. They investigated the remote fishing village, and Barnard's group was indeed spotted nearby.

"The police are following the trail. I'm sure they'll be caught soon, so you don't have to live in fear anymore."

"I'm glad the tip helped. Barnard has completely lost his humanity. Let's hope he's brought to justice quickly," Camilla sighed.

Meanwhile, on a remote, isolated island.

The air was thick with the salty, fishy stench of the sea.

Barnard and the other two were crammed into a run-down shack. Their clothes were soaking wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

The moment Barnard realized things were going south, he transferred all his liquid assets into an offshore account, keeping only a small amount of cash on hand.

They had hired a fisherman's boat from the coastal village, but halfway through the journey, Barnard led Davina and Laura to jump ship into the ocean.

He had taken professional swimming lessons in the past, so losing his legs didn't hinder his swimming ability.
