So that she would not worry her child, Camelia quickly wiped her tears away and took a deep breath before turning around to smile at Tobias. “No, I’m fine.”
After embracing her child to assure him that she was okay, Camelia shifted her attention to me. “Scarlett.”
The woman’s tone was so stern that it stunned me for two seconds. “Yes?” I nodded at her to show her that she had gotten my full attention.
“You saw how Marcus is. Even though he never mentioned it, you and I both know that you’re the one he wants to see. It has always been you, so I hope you can come to visit him for the next few days. He may have the necessary medications to keep him alive, but that’s not all he needs. Marcus needs a reason to continue living, and you’re the only one who can give it to him. Will you help?” requested Camelia somewhat helplessly.
In response to that, I nodded hesitantly. “I should…”
“No,” interrupted Ashton suddenly before I could finish my sentence. Right there at the entrance stood the man with a cold visage.
Since he knew that Marcus had feelings for me, there was no way he would ever agree to let me see the man every day, even though the man only had very little time left.
Worried that Ashton would make a scene, I hurriedly darted over to calm him down. This is not the right place to have a heated discussion. Whatever it is that Ashton wants to say, it’ll have to wait until we get home.
After giving me a reassuring look and placing his hand firmly on my shoulder, Ashton turned to look at Camelia. “You’re almost as crafty as Marcus himself, so I would say that you two are a match made in heaven. If he fails to see that, it’s his loss.”
