When he received the crushing news, it was like the wind got knocked out of him, making him hunch over in an instant.
Benjamin offered his advice. “Cameron, your mom’s facing serious charges for intentional harm—she could end up in prison. If that happens, it could mess up your future big time. I think you should rush to your dad and the victims and beg them to write forgiveness letters. Maybe the court will agree to a private settlement. That’s your best bet.”
Cameron snapped back to reality, gave Benjamin a grateful nod, then bolted out of the room.
After asking around at the hospital, Cameron learned that all the injured people were taken to the Capital Cosmetic Hospital. It was close to the Dawson family mansion and was known for its top-notch treatment of injuries.
Using the excuse of visiting his dad, Cameron asked the receptionist about Griffin’s room and hurried there as fast as he could.
In the ward, Griffin lay there in just his boxers, his skin a mess of severe burns. His face was twisted in pain, and despite gritting his teeth, he couldn’t stop the occasional moan.
Cameron stood frozen at the door, taken aback by his father's pitiful state.
“What do you want?” Griffin snapped when he saw Cameron.
Cameron approached, all business like he was negotiating a contract. “I need you to write a letter of forgiveness so my mom doesn’t end up in jail.”
Griffin, still fuming, shot back. “No way. She’s out of her mind. Who knows what she'll do next if we don’t lock her up.” He talked about his ex-wife with nothing but contempt. Any past affection was long gone.
Cameron’s fists clenched, and his knuckles popped from the pressure.
