Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 1011

Later when the sun was already hanging high in the sky, Camren was sleeping in one of the rooms at Griffith Manor. Suddenly, Rebecca barged in by kicking the door open before pulling the blanket off the old man. "Stop pretending, Abbott! Get up and go back to where you belong!"

However, he only turned around in bed slowly, weakly revealing his pale face, unlike the rosy cheeks he had earlier that morning. He then lay down straight and coughed several times, speaking weakly. "Here you are, Becky. Here, have a seat."

When she saw the man's reaction, she began to feel a little hesitant. "Stop pretending. Our daughter told us everything. You're not sick at all. You're only here to stir up trouble, so leave before it gets ugly. The guards will show you the door when I say the word."

Then, as soon as the woman finished her words, the bathroom door opened, and Jessie came out with a dustbin. Nevertheless, the moment she saw Rebecca, she quickly hid the bin behind her. She acted as if she was guilty of doing something shady.

"What are you hiding? Show it to me." Rebecca was tempted to find out what was going on.

"Nothing, madam." Jessie's body tensed as she rapidly shook her head.

"Give it to me!" Impatient with Jessie's little games, Rebecca charged at her and snatched the bin.

In the meantime, Jessie had no intention of hiding the bin from her either. After putting up a little resistance, she did as Camren told her earlier and gave it to Rebecca, standing aside obediently. On the other hand, Rebecca instantly appeared worried when she peed at the inside of the bin with bloodied tissue papers. "Wait, what? You're sick, indeed?" Rebecca was bewildered as she asked with a soft voice.

"Well, now that you’ve already found that out, I suppose there is nothing else I can hide. Perhaps, my karma has caught up with me, but I do not blame anyone for my misery. Instead, my only regret is my failure to make it up to you, Becky. Don't tell Arie about my condition, girl. She has no idea about the truth at all—" Camren coughed violently as he struggled to get back up and leaned on the headstand. While Rebecca was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, her eyes fixed on the bin, Camren added, "Don't be sad, Becky. I'm at least happy that I can see you and our daughter before I die. Please don't worry about me—" Camren comforted Rebecca, but before he could finish his sentence, he started to cough again.
