Chapter 196
One was the girl who saved his life 15 years ago. The other was his first love.
Cameron took a deep breath.
He initially thought that he and Laura would never cross paths again.
He didn’t want his past to wedge a distance between him and Dakota. So, he had been hiding the truth about his relationship with Laura from Dakota.
But now, it seemed like he owed Dakota an explanation.
There were still four days until the ceremony.
“Cameron, was it your girlfriend who called you just now?”
Lena’s question interrupted Cameron’s thoughts.
“Dakota isn’t my girlfriend yet.”
Cameron chuckled and shook his head.
“Oh.”
Lena then asked, “Is she coming to the hospital?”
“Yeah, she’s on her way now.
Cameron nodded.
“Well, I’ll head back since you have someone to accompany you. If you need anything, just call me.”
Lena’s gaze flickered as she spoke, “Remember, don’t push yourself too hard.”
“I know.”
Cameron watched Lena’s retreating figure with a gentle smile.
Despite her fiery temper, she was genuinely a good person.
Dakota arrived half an hour later.
She covered her mouth at the sight of Cameron in bed, wrapped in bandages with an IV drip in his arm. Her eyes reddened.
“Cameron!”
She hadn’t expected to see Cameron be that severely injured.
“Dakota, you’re here.”
Cameron smiled warmly.

“Cameron, are you okay?”
She hurried over to his side.
“I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury. I’ll be discharged in a couple of days.”
Cameron waved his hand.
“But… you’re covered in bandages!” Dakota exclaimed anxiously.
She could tell Cameron was gravely hurt.
“I really am fine, Dakota. If you don’t believe me, I can get up and walk a few laps to prove it to you,” Cameron said with a smile.
“No, you’re a patient now. You need rest.”
Dakota firmly refused.
“Cameron, were you in a car accident?” Dakota asked, her eyes were filled with concern.
“Um… no.”
“What happened then? How did you get injured like this?”
Dakota’s expression tightened.
“Did you call the police?”
She wondered if Cameron had a run–in with some of his enemies if it wasn’t a car accident. She understood that it was common to make enemies in the business world.
Cameron let out a long sigh.
“Well…”
Dakota became even more nervous.
“Is something bothering you, Cameron?”
Cameron wanted to reveal the situation, but he realized it wasn’t easy to say it out loud.
What worried him the most was Dakota’s reaction after learning the truth.
“Cameron, what happened? Please tell me, I’m so worried…” Dakota urged anxiously.
She wished to understand what had occurred to Cameron, leading to such severe injuries and an extended period of unconsciousness.
“Well, Dakota…”
After much deliberation, Cameron finally decided to tell her the truth.
“Dakota, the truth is, my injuries this time are related to Laura.”

“Related to Ms. Jones?”
Dakota stood frozen in place.
