Chapter 167
After that night, there was a noticeable change in Cameron and Laura’s relationship. Laura was no longer as indifferent to him as before. Instead, she was filled with concern, especially for the wound
on his chest.
Two days later, they finally made their way out of the primitive forest. Once they had cell phone service, Laura immediately called her father.
Upon hearing the news, her father was enraged. He sent the military to sweep through the tiny kingdom. He exposed and brutally executed the mastermind behind the plot.
With the help of Laura’s family, they returned to Leving. Cameron had completed the task given by his mentor and was ready to part ways with Laura at the airport.
However, Laura asked him to stay as her personal bodyguard for a while. After the recent events, she felt she had no one else she could truly trust. So, he stayed.
In the following days, Laura took him to every event she attended. They were almost inseparable. Their relationship grew closer through constant contact, yet they were still far from becoming lovers.
Until that one time, Laura took him to an important negotiation meeting. On their way to the meeting, they were attacked again.
The attackers were remnants of the tiny kingdom. They sought revenge for their king’s death. The car carrying Cameron and Laura was riddled with heavy gunfire. The driver and the other bodyguards in the car were killed.
In a desperate attempt to avoid the heavy gunfire, Cameron stepped on the gas and crashed through the guardrail beside a moat, plunging them into the turbulent waters. The car quickly sank.
Laura couldn’t swim. She began to inhale large amounts of water and felt suffocated.
In that critical moment, Cameron had no choice but to hold Laura tightly and press his mouth to hers. It was both of their first kisses. They maintained their position for over ten minutes.
Eventually, SWAT teams arrived and dealt with the remnants. Cameron and Laura were successfully
rescued.
Laura was rushed to the hospital due to cerebral hypoxia. She clung tightly to Cameron’s hand all the way there. He followed the ambulance to the hospital and stayed with Laura until she was taken into the emergency room.
Thanks to his timely actions, Laura’s condition wasn’t critical. She was soon moved to a special care
ward.
The first thing Laura said when she could speak was to ask him to accompany her into the ward. Perhaps it was because of that kiss, or maybe because he had saved her from death twice.
Laura began to develop feelings for him. As Cameron spent more time with Laura, he realized her

heart was not as cold as it seemed. They quickly fell in love.
They went to an amusement park where a foreign tourist happened to capture a photo of them playfully teasing each other. It was the only photo of them together.
Around that time, Cameron’s birthday was approaching. Laura asked him if there was anything he wanted. Jokingly, he said he wanted to see a love letter written by Laura.
To his surprise, Laura wrote to him the next day. It was the first love letter Laura had ever written to a man. It was filled with shy expressions.
After reading the love letter, Cameron was determined to protect Laura for an eternity. No matter the dangers Laura faced, he would always be there to protect her at all costs.
However, tragedy struck the very next day after he received the love letter. He received a breakup text from Laura. Laura wanted to break up with him!
Initially, Cameron thought Laura was joking. But when he called to confirm, her phone was turned off. He couldn’t believe or accept it, so he went to the Jones family’s residence to seek answers from Laura. However, what he encountered was nothing but humiliation from Laura and her family…
The ringing of the phone by his pillow interrupted Cameron’s thoughts. The call was from Dakota. Cameron took a deep breath and answered the call.
“Cameron, have you seen the evening news in Yrando?”
On the other end, Dakota’s voice was filled with excitement.
