Chapter 71
With these thoughts in mind. Callie couldn’t help but feel delighted. She walked out the door, waiting for Cameron. Before long, she saw a car pull over, and Cameron stepped out, walking toward her.
“Cam!” Callie greeted him with a smile.
“Hey,” Cameron nodded.
“When will you go for the check–up? According to the previous agreement, you should be cooperating with the doctors for treatment by now,” Cameron reminded her.
Callie turned her face away, tears brimming in her eyes. I want to leave this world with dignity, not with tubes sticking out of me everywhere. Cam, can you give me a dignified way to die?
Cameron chuckled softly, offering neither comfort nor advice. It’s all up to you. With that, he stood up and left.
Callie wanted to stop him, but Cameron brushed her off. “Take care of yourself,” he said coldly, glancing at her one last time. Take care of myself?‘ Callie wondered, staring at him in disbelie
Cameron didn’t offer any explanation and left straight away. Just as he exited the nursing home, he received a call from Christina. Her voice was barely coherent through her sobs. He only caught one clear sentence: “Cameron, avenge me!”
“Where are you?” Cameron asked
Yvale Hospital, Christina replied.
When Cameron arrived at the hospital, he happened to see a doctor holding a diagnosis report heading towards the ward. He stopped the doctor to inquire, “Doctor, I’m Christina’s brother. How are her injuries?”
The patient has two fractured ribs and multiple lacerations inside the mouth. They’re all superficial injuries, nothing serious, but she will need some time to recover, the doctor replied.
Cameron nodded.
He had seen Yetta’s medical report: fractured ribs, facial injuries Christina’s diagnosis also showed fractured ribs. Their injuries were strikingly similar. ‘She is really vengeful and is incredibly petty!” he thought.
Cameron walked into the hospital room and saw Christina lying on the bed, crying with her mouth open, tears and snot running down her face.
When she saw Cameron, it was as if she had seen her savior. She grabbed his sleeve tightly. “Cameron! Cameron, it was Yanina, that bitch! She did this! You have to avenge me!”
“Do you have proof? Cameron raised an eyebrow.
Christina shook her head. “It was her! I know it was her! She
Christina didn’t dare admit that she had hurt Yetta and struggled to explain. Instead, she angrily punched Steven, who was standing beside her.
“Mr. Zamora, Chris is very familiar with Ms. Fulbright. Of course, she can recognize her. Steven tried to defend Christina. Cameron shot Steven a cold glare, and the pressure was overwhelming, making him too intimidated to continue speaking. “Do you remember what you said when I asked you to come back to the Zamora family with me?” Cameron asked. But Christina didn’t respond. That day, she had yelled at him, telling him not to meddle in her affairs. She never expected that she would be set up in Yvale like this. “Cameron, I was just talking in anger. Why did you take it seriously? Christina said, tugging on Cameron’s sleeve, trying to act spoiled.

But Cameron shook her off. “You’re not a child anymore. You need to take responsibility for your words.”
“Cameron, are you really holding a grudge over that?” Christina looked at him tearfully, her face swollen as she pitifully gazed up at him
Cameron glanced at her with no hint of sympathy. Dad was right. If we don’t educate you properly, someone else will do it

“Take this kidnapping as a lesson“”
“Cameron! How could you ow!” Christina winced in pain as her words strained the wounds inside her mouth, causing tears. and snot to flow. After a long pause, she continued, “Does that bitch have the right to educate me? You’re my brother! I’ve been beaten like this, and you don’t
“You’re even protecting that bitch?
“Are you really my brother?”
even care?
Cameron remained expressionless. “Do you really have no idea why she did this to you?”
“What did I do? It wasn’t me who hit her friend!” Christina retorted stubbornly.
“You didn’t hit her, but you ordered it, Cameron said, slightly turning his head to cast a cold, disdainful glance at Steven. Without this guy scheming behind the scenes, would Christina have done something like this?‘ he thought.
Steven couldn’t help but shiver, feeling wronged. This had nothing to do with him. When Christina and Callie went out, he was still at the nightclub, hugging two ladies.
“Cameron!” Christina, ignoring the pain, stood up and pointed her finger at him. “You think I don’t know what happened. between you and Yanina?
“You have been divorced for a long time!
“If you don’t avenge me. I’ll tell Grandpa everything!
Cameron’s brow furrowed tightly. He knew his sister was spoiled and difficult, but he hadn’t realized how stubborn she was. He hadn’t told Grandpa about the divorce because he was worried it would affect his health. Yet she was using it as leverage, When has she become so selfish, disregarding even family bonds? Is this the same sister who once begged for candy from me as a child? Dad was right. Christina needs to be disciplined; he thought.
“Christina, mark my words. If Grandpa finds out about this, whether from your mouth or someone else’s.
“I will break your legs, Cameron said, his voice low and imposing, filling the room with a chilling pressure.
Christina was stunned into silence by her brother’s imposing presence. She knew Cameron wasn’t bluffing. He would break her legs if he said so. “Cameron… Chris tried to say something more, but Cameron had already turned around and left the room without a word.
He instructed Zak to assign people to watch over Christina, fearing that she might act recklessly and cause more trouble. As the night deepened, Yanina, dressed in a nurse’s uniform and white flat shoes, walked quietly down the hallway of the nursing home. She opened a door softly, stepped inside, and locked it befiind her with swift, smooth movements.
Callie was a light sleeper but hadn’t sensed anyone entering the room.
Yanina sat slowly next to her bed, holding a syringe, and injected at into Callie’s arm
Callie felt a sharp sting in her arm and opened her eyes. Seeing someone sitting by her bedside, she tried to screams, but Yanina swifily covered her mouth. “Don’t speak, just listen to me Yanina whispered calmly, her face expressionless. After

speaking, she slowly removed her hand from Callie’s mouth.
But Callic realized she couldn’t move or speak at all. She was at the mercy of others, completely helpless. It wasn’t the first time in her life that she had encountered such a situation, and the same terror and fear gripped every nerve in her body. Large tears rolled down her face as panic overwhelmed her.
Yanina said. “Don’t worry, I’m not here to take your life.
“I know you conspired with those Borcalians to kidnap me when I was in Utravia, and this time you’ve targeted my
“So today, I’m here to settle both old and new scores. Consider this your warning!”
friend!
As Yanina spoke, she carefully put on latex gloves and meticulously cleaned the area around Callie’s mouth. Then, picking up a forceps, with a soft click, one of Callie’s front teeth fell out, followed by the second.
Callie couldn’t feel any pain, but she knew exactly what Yanina had injected her with–an anesthetic that numbed her senses, She felt the blood from her mouth slowly trickling down her throat, forcing her to swallow it involuntarily while the metallic taste filled her nose.
As Yanina reached out with an alcohol swab to stop the bleeding, she spoke softly, as if merely chatting. “Yetta has fractured ribs. I can’t break yours, so I’m just pulling out two of your teeth. Seems fair, right?
“But Yetta’s face was cut. How should I take my revenge for that?
