Spoiled by Eight Uncles (Lily) novel Chapter 1540

Hannah glanced at Lilly with confusion as she asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Lilly shook her head.

Hannah became annoyed. "That kid didn't even say thank you after I saved him. Instead, he just ran off like some jackrabbit! I'll catch him next time and ask him what he was thinking."

Lilly laughed. "Hannah, maybe he was just shy."

Hannah was exasperated. "It's not like he's a bride meeting her in-laws. What's there to be shy about?"

Lilly pulled her along to chase after Cameron. She truly was concerned about his condition.

"We have to keep looking for him."

…

When Cameron arrived at the lobby of his apartment building, he was in excruciating pain.

He managed to get home. Alas, he could hear his parents squabbling way before he could open the door. If his ears weren't failing him, his mother was currently screaming about getting a divorce.

Why did I think it would be anything different than the usual song and dance?

He silently changed his shoes and went to his room.

His mother glanced at him, puzzled. "What happened to you?"

Cameron didn't say a word as he closed the door to his room.

His mother's temper immediately flared up again as she hissed, "See! You're the man of the house! Cameron's father didn't back down, "Where were you when he was being bullied? If it weren't for the video that went viral online, would you, as his mother, have noticed anything different?"

They blamed each other as they tossed accusation after accusation regarding their neglect when it came to their child's education and welfare.

Nonetheless, they didn't notice that Cameron had come home looking disheveled with bruises on his face and hands.

Cameron's stomachache worsened as he listened to the racket outside his room.

The pain was so intense that he couldn't help but groan, struggling to get off the bed and crawl to open the door.

His parents were still arguing. Judging from the volume, they had moved away from the kitchen to the living room. It also sounded like his mother had started throwing things.

The words Cameron was about to shout were swallowed back down as he turned around and crawled around to find his phone.

When he returned, his phone screen was broken, and the battery was dead. So, he left it on the table to charge.

Usually, the table was easily within his reach. Now, it seemed like an insurmountable obstacle.

He was shivering due to the pain, unable to get up. It didn't matter how hard he tried, as he just couldn't get his phone.

Before long, he fell heavily to the floor.

His parents were still immersed in their argument and didn't hear the noise.

Cameron sighed and gave up.

Well, why was he afraid of death? Could death hurt him more than life already had?

Besides, it was just some pain. It wasn't as if he would die of some measly pain. Otherwise, he would have been dead years ago.

It wasn't a big deal. He would endure this a little longer, and it'd be fine soon. Plus, it wouldn't hurt when he fell asleep.

Cameron slowly closed his eyes as the sounds around him began to fade.

In his daze, he heard someone banging on the door. It was quickly followed by the sound of his room door being pushed open.

It was swiftly accompanied by his mother's scream as the arguing couple started panicking before rushing to carry Cameron.

Before he was taken away by the ambulance, the last thing Cameron saw was two girls standing at the back of the crowd.

One felt warm. Even though they had only met twice, she felt like a sister he never had.

The other… Well, she practically dazzled him just by standing there.

Cameron even wondered if he was hallucinating because she looked just like an angel.

He thought he had curled his lips into a weak smile to reassure her. Alas, he was so weakened that he merely twitched the corners of his mouth.

After the crowd dispersed, Hannah sighed and remarked, "I didn't expect him to be in such an awful state. Is he seriously injured?"

She couldn't help but worry. If she had known, she would have taken him to the hospital right then and there.

The color on Lilly's face was unusually pale. She was utterly silent. It was as if she had something on her mind.

"What's wrong?" Hannah hugged her shoulders before she tried to soothe her worries, saying affectionately, "He's been taken to the hospital, right? He should be fine."
