Chapter 260
“Handsome, was that your ex–wife just now?”
Tara looked at Cameron with interest at the hospital entrance.
“Yes.” Cameron nodded calmly.
“I didn’t expect that. After how your ex–wife treated you, you still chose to help her.” Tara was even more intrigued after getting an answer from Cameron
“How do you know about our past?” Cameron’s expression shifted slightly.
He met Tara after his divorce from Madison. He wondered how she came to know about it.
“Leny told me. She painted a pretty grim picture of you back then, saying your ex–wife cheated on you.” Tara recounted what Lena had shared with her.
“Heh, I really should thank her, then.”
Cameron’s lips trembled.
“I’ll pass that message along to Lena.” Tara chuckled mischievously.
“Better not…” Cameron quickly interjected.
If Lena found out he was speaking ill of her behind her back, he felt she might come after him with a 100–foot–long sword, given her temper.
“What, are you afraid of her?” Tara looked directly at Cameron.
“Not exactly. I just find it bothersome,” Cameron explained.
“Do you like her?” Tara prodded further..
“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Cameron was caught off guard and looked at Tara with surprise.
“Just curious. After all, think Lena seems to have a good impression of you,” Tara said, deciding to push the matter a bit further.
“Does she like me? That’s impossible. Don’t make wild guesses…” Cameron shook his head in
disbelief.
“Well, it’s a pity… You already have a girlfriend. But it’s normal for an outstanding man to have three or four wives, right?”
“Dr. Smith, please don’t tease me like this.” Cameron laughed off the comment. “Alright, this is as far as you need to go.”
“That won’t do!” Tara refused. “You’ve helped me so much. I must at least treat you to a meal today.
“Treat me to a meal?” Cameron was taken aback by the sudden invitation from Tara.
“Yes.” Tara nodded. “Ehainian or Lammarian, you pick.”
“We
‘t have to go for a meal. It’s unnecessary…” Cameron was about to decline when he met
Tara’s pleading gaze.
“Cameron, you won’t refuse me, right? Besides, I have some details about my grandfather’s condition I’d like to discuss with you.”
“Uh… Alright then, but something casual will do.” Cameron agreed, not wanting to turn down Tara’s
kindness.
“Great!” Tara’s smile returned instantly as she decided. “Let’s go to Southern Breeze Eatery, then. Their Lunarian dishes are authentic. It’ll be perfect. I can drop you off afterward and then go grocery shopping.”
“Okay.” Cameron agreed while following Tara to the parking lot and getting into her white Mercedes-
Benz C–Class.
Tara’s curiosity about Cameron didn’t wane on the way. “Cameron, can you tell me how you met
Lena?”
“It was during an emergency.”
“An emergency? You helped Lena solve a case?” Tara was surprised.
“Sort of.”
“I didn’t expect that. Apart from being skilled in medicine, you can deal with cases too. Your ex–wife made a huge loss by divorcing you!” Tara clicked her tongue. “But it’s surprising, given how your ex- wife treated you, that you’d still help her.”
“When it’s a matter of life and death, I think most people wouldn’t stand by idly,” Cameron responded.
Tara was touched. She glanced at Cameron sitting beside her as her admiration for him grew. She had more questions to ask.
At that moment, a text message notification sounded from Cameron’s phone. The message was from
Lord Blackheart.
Cameron opened the message. The next second, his expression became intensely focused.
“Sir, I’ve found some clues regarding your mother from years ago. Are you available to talk on the phone now?”
