Chapter 238 Not Back Again
Cameron waited for a bit in the underground parking lot before Bradley finally showed up, wearing a gentle smile on his handsome face as he apologized, “Sorry, I’m late,”
“It’s fine.” Cameron slid into the passenger seat, frowning slightly the moment she sat down.
She hadn’t changed her pad all evening, and the moment she sat down, the discomfort hit her hard.
These past few days had been absolute torture for her, and she pondered if she should take tomorrow off. But on second thought, she decided against it.
She would have her third mock exam tomorrow, and she couldn’t skip that. This time, she might jump up a few dozen spots in the rankings again.
“You’re not feeling well?” Bradley was sharp and picked up on her mood right away. “Cameron, I can smell a faint trace of blood in the air. Did you get hurt?”
Cameron was stunned to her core, wondering, ‘Brad can even smell that?‘
Cameron’s face dropped for a second, but she kept her cool. “It’s nothing. I just got a little cut. It’ll heal in a couple of days.”
“You didn’t go to the infirmary?” Bradley asked.
“I did.”
Bradley nodded, started the car’s engine, and pulled away from the parking lot.
Cameron stared out the window, watching the night scenery drift by. She kept quiet on purpose, as she didn’t want Bradley picking up that anything was off.
Bradley glanced over at her a few times, but seeing she wasn’t in the mood to talk, he stayed silent too.
The car cruised smoothly into the underground garage at Noble Vista.
Cameron pushed open the door. “Thanks, Brad.”
Bradley smiled. “I’ll wait for you here tomorrow morning.”
“Okay. Good night.” She waved, then made a beeline for the elevator.
Something felt off, and Cameron was praying that she didn’t get anything on her pants.
If she’d stained both her pants and Bradley’s car, she might actually die of embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Bradley watched her take off like a rabbit in a race, and it baffled him.
He had a feeling Cameron was hiding something these past few days. But since she didn’t want to talk, he didn’t ask.
Cameron made it home and luckily, she didn’t stain her pants. Today was the second day of her period, and tomorrow would be the third day, which was always the worst for her.
However, it would get better from the fourth day onwards.
After a hot shower, Cameron flopped onto her bed, put her phone on silent, and drifted off to sleep.

Xander still couldn’t find Cameron and finally gave up. Austin, however, was genuinely surprised Cameron hadn’t come back to the dorm in two days and wondered, ‘Did something happen to him?‘
He considered asking Elijah, but one look at that cold face and he bailed on the idea.
Austin popped a vitamin and sent Cameron a text. [Cam, I haven’t seen you in days. Did something happen?]
But there was no reply from the other end.
