Only you in my love novel Chapter 518

With her eye injured, Demi was taken away by Vicente's people. Vicente was kind enough to call for a doctor to treat and cure her eye. However, her eyes couldn't be cured.

Since she was not in a good condition for interrogation, Demi was temporarily imprisoned in a dark basement in the castle with guards specially picked and sent by Vicente.

What happened was a big blow to Vicente's pride, because she promoted Demi herself. Demi was her confidant, to some extent.

Thinking about this made Vicente heave a deep sigh. "Alas, I really don't have good eyes. I should be treated as well."

They were all inside Cali's ward, waiting for her to wake up. Nina was seated on the chair, and John stood beside her like a guardian angel.

Meanwhile, Vicente stood at the end of the bed with her back against the wall. She looked straight at Cali in the bed. "It's a good thing we found about it sooner, or else, she would really never wake up again."

Nina took a glance at Vicente. "For me, I think you are good at judging people. Take Cali for example. You took her in, and she's a loyal and brave girl." She glanced back at Cali's pale face. Cali had scratches all over her body.

Nina thought about where Cali got them. Half of the forest island was a jungle covered with full grown weeds. The jungle wasn't maintained enough that some of the weeds were as tall as half of an average-sized person. When careless, a person could get their skin scratched and bleed with these weeds. The other half of the island was the secret base Nina had ordered people to build, and it wasn't easily accessible due to the heavily guarded perimeter.

She remembered mentioning this island to Cali, but she didn't expect that Cali would escape from there and personally send Van and Don to the Scher Mountain.

Nina could not imagine how difficult it had been for Cali.

She sighed and added, "Cali is indeed an angel and a hero for Van and Don. In fact, she is also a hero for the two of us." Then, she leaned towards John, her head resting on his waist.

John patted Nina's head to comfort her before glancing towards Cali. He looked intently as he saw Cali's eyebrows twitch into a frown, and her eyes moved behind those lids. "She's awake."

"What? Really?" Nina exclaimed, standing up and walking towards the side of the bed. Sure enough, Cali was awake. Her eyes fluttered open and saw Nina's face.

"Your Highness." Cali's voice came out a little hoarse, since her throat was a little dry. Her head turned to the side of the room, looking for the water dispenser. Nina noticed this and was about to head towards the dispenser to pour her a glass of water, but John was a step ahead of her. He thought that Nina was tired already, so he got the glass of water himself.

Nina looked at John, who had his back turned as he filled the glass with water. She smiled at him and turned to take care of Cali, helping her to sit up.

"It's okay. I can do it myself." Deep inside, Cali was flattered, but she knew that there were still rules to follow, and she didn't dare break them.

As a matter of fact, she knew so well that she was just a servant. How could she let the princess help her?

"Don't be too stubborn. It's no big deal, especially after what happened." Vicente, who felt relieved as soon as Cali spoke, walked over to the other side of the bed with a smile. She then placed a pillow behind Cali to make her lean comfortably. "Cali, thank you for protecting Van and Don."

"I was just doing the right thing. It was what I should do at that moment," Cali responded. In fact, she was modest and didn't want to take all the credit. She trembled with fear at the thought of what had happened. "Pardon me, but may I ask how the twins are doing? Are they okay? Are they safe now?"

"Yes, thanks to you, they're safe," Nina replied and patted her on the shoulder. "They are well and safe now in the Scher Mountain. They will be staying there until the spies in the castle are taken care of."

"That's good to hear." Cali felt relieved. The fear inside of her finally calmed down, making her heave a deep breath of relief. Then, she remembered something and immediately turned to Vicente. "Demi works for Jett. She took off the twins' bracelets. That's why I couldn't contact you."

"I see." Vicente frowned. Her face turned serious. "Don't tell anyone that Demi has been exposed for the time being. Maybe we can take advantage of this."

"Yes, sir," Cali replied respectfully. The thought of traitors inside the castle angered her. "You must definitely catch them one by one and hand them over to justice."

"I will. Don't worry," Vicente said with a smile. Then, she raised her hand to look at her watch. "Excuse me, but I have to go first. I have a press conference at ten o'clock. I'm glad that you're awake now, Cali. Have a good rest, and if you need anything, don't hesitate to let me know."

Cali nodded with a smile and waved at her. "Thank you, and goodbye, Count Nangong. Drive safe."

Nina turned to Vicente and said, "Be careful on the way."

"I know," Vicente replied, gave them a slight wave of her hand, and left without another word.

Instead of handing the glass of water to Cali, he gave it to Nina, gesturing for her to give it to Cali.

The glass was still warm. Nina felt the warmth spread over the palm of her hand. She glanced down at the water, and then looked over at John with a smile.
