Camille found this even more laughable. "It was I who pushed Zara out. Lila didn't know about it at all."
Her tone was calm, yet it couldn't hide her disappointment. "Dorian, I've been giving you chances, but you've truly let me down."
He had even left the crew for Zara.
Dorian stood in complete shock, and the summer heat felt suffocating.
But at this moment, it felt like he had plunged into an ice cellar, shivering from the cold. His whole body was stiff and unbearable.
Zara realized that things were spiraling out of her control, and her heart raced.
This was completely different from her plan.
Feeling Dorian's unusual emotions, Zara was about to cry for real.
For the first time, she didn't deliberately pretend to cry in front of him, and her eyes turned red.
She tugged at Dorian's sleeve. "Dorian..."
He turned his head, his eyes red, his chest heaving violently as if he had lost his proud composure.
Zara's complexion went pale with fear. She had never seen Dorian so out of control, like an enraged lion ready to tear apart his enemy.
She was so startled that she forgot to cry. "Dorian, please calm down."
Dorian closed his eyes and looked away, afraid he might inadvertently hurt her in his rage. "Zara, you should go back for now. I'll come see you later."
Camille stared at them, feeling disgusted by their lovey-dovey attitude.
She wondered what sins she had committed to have to endure such suffering.
"Dorian, since you know it was just a misunderstanding between you and Lila, you should quickly make up with her. She likes you so much, so she will surely forgive you."
She pretended to be patient and pitiful. "I will bless you both."
He seemed to be awakened by her words. "Right, I need to find Lila! I haven't treated her well, and I'll slowly make it up to her."
Camille narrowed her eyes, her tone incredibly certain. "She won't forgive you."
"Impossible!" His gaze was anxious and desperate. "Lila is alone in the hospital right now. She must be very sad. I need to go see her."
Camille felt a sense of irony watching him rush out.
