Chapter 189
Boiling water cascaded down in seconds. Camila tried to dodge, but the iron cage trapped her completely. The scalding liquid drenched her, and she let out a piercing scream, collapsing to the ground and writhing in unbearable pain.
Her skin turned a furiods shade of red, and blisters began to form almost immediately. Already weakened from her surgery, Camila’s body was in no condition to endure such a brutal attack. Her wounds tore open, blood spilling out and pooling beneath her.
Patricia stood nearby, laughing coldly as she watched Camila writhe in agony.
Owen’s gaze flickered with pity. He let out a heavy sigh and said, “Camila, why do you keep fighting back? If you’d just listen, you wouldn’t have to go through this pain.”
Camila glared at the two and vowed silently, ‘Patricia, Owen, you won’t get away with this.
Two luxury cars were parked outside the gates of Sancho University of Science and Technology.
Daniel shot a glare at Turner and sneered, “Can you be any more annoying? Lucy can’t stand you, yet you keep hovering around her like a fly.”
Turner ignored Daniel’s jab and turned to Michael instead. “So, this is your little brother? You’re sharp as a tack, but he looks like a total punk. Hard to believe you two share the same blood.”
Michael hadn’t expected that the girl Daniel had a crush on was also the one Turner was interested in.
Daniel’s face darkened at Turner’s words. “Say that again, you piece of trash!”
“Daniel,” Michael stepped in, holding him back.
Daniel looked frustrated. “Why are you siding with him? Are you my brother or his? If I knew you’d act like this, I wouldn’t have brought you along to meet Lucy.”
Just then, Lucy walked out of the school building.
Daniel immediately waved at her. “Lucy, over here!”
The sight of both Daniel and Turner made Lucy’s head throb. Honestly, she didn’t want to deal with either of them. She looked away, about to pretend she hadn’t seen them.
Just then, Turner’s phone buzzed. He pulled it out and saw Sean’s name on the screen. Quickly, he answered, “Sean, how are Mr. Campbell and Ms.
Jackson?”
Hearing Camila’s name, Lucy strode over to Turner, straining to

Sean’s voice on the other end was frantic. “We got caught in a landslide. Mr. Campbell’s legs were crushed.”
“What?” Turner exclaimed, his face goin

Lucy was just as panicked. “What about Camila? Is she okay?”
Sean replied, “Ms. Jackson’s kidney transpl

Lucy’s mind went blank, Camila had just undergone surgery and was still incredibly weak. If she got an infection now, it could be life–threatening.
Lucy couldn’t wait any longer. She grabbed Turner’s ar
and said urgently, “Take me there.”
Turner didn’t dare delay. He jumped into the car, with Lucy following close behind.

He slammed his foot on the gas pedal, the engine roaring as the car shot forward like a bullet.

Daniel’s face turned serious as he realized how bad things were. He quickly jumped into his own car with Michael and followed Turner’s vehicle closely.
The two cars raced down the road, leaving the surrounding scenery far behind in a blur.
Lucy sat in the passenger seat, her fists clenched

‘Camila, hang in there. I’m coming to save you. Whoever dared to kidnap you–they’re going to pay with their lives!‘ Lucy growled silently.

to unspeakable humiliation, his hatred for Camila grew uncontrollably.
This family of three had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to exact their revenge on Camila. Now, that moment had finally arrived.
Patricia had told them about Agnes’s death and given them the exact location where Camila was.
Patricia hung up the phone, practically glowing with twisted satisfaction.
Owen frowned, “Why did you call them here?”
“To teach Camila a good lesson, obviously,” Patricia replied, her tone dripping with malice.
“Are y
e you insane? They’ll kill her!” Owen snapped.
Patricia’s laugh was icy. “Wrong. They won’t kill her right away. They’ll make her suffer, drag it out until she’s begging for death–but can’t have it. I’ll record every second of her misery and plaster it all over the internet. Let the whole world see her agony.”
Owen was shocked. “Are you out of your mind? Aren’t you afraid of Giovani’s revenge?”
“Revenge?” Patricia sneered with a nonchalant expression. “The moment I decided to kidnap Camila, I already didn’t care about his retaliation.
“I thought about seducing that bastard and squeezing some benefits out of him. But he had to humiliate me, forcing me to eat so much cake that I gained weight and ended up with diabetes. Now that I’ve lost everything, what else do I have to fear?
“The one who should be afraid isn’t me–it’s that bastard Giovani. I can’t wait to see him crumble when he finds out Camila is missing.”
As she spoke, she strolled over to Camila.
Camila was unconscious, her body burning with fever from infected wounds. Her face was flushed, her lips dry and cracked, making her look utterly
