Chapter 28
“… she believed at once,” Patrick told his wife that night. How he brought Jenny to the empty tomb and told her, her mother was resting in that place. She cried and readily believed.
Sebrina smiled. Such a mischievous smile when someone succeeds in deceiving another person, especially someone who had trusted in her.
Now that that aspect has been settled, she is free from her worries that Jenny would return to ask her why she allowed the doctors to bury her mother and where. She’s finally free. After all, she trusted and believed her uncle so much.
“That’s better Patrick. Now she won’t return to bother us”Sebrina commented and sighed.
Eduardo returned home that evening, and met Jenny seated on the sofa. She was quiet in the sitting room and her eyes were puffy and red. He knew why she was like that: her mother’s death was resurfaced.
Eric already gave him an answer. Her uncle was responsible for what happened to her mother. They were the ones who paid the doctor to conti injecting Mrs Temisa with toxins to prevent her from coming out of coma.
When everything is fine, he would be sure of the doctor and why he declared her dead when she was not dead. He had asked his men to throw her away or whatever Just to have her dead finally.
How can a doctor be so eager for his patient to die? Seeing Jenny in her present mood, he felt unhappy. He doesn’t want to see her like this. He wants her to be happy and not like this.
Her mother is not dead. She’s fine now and wants to see her. Her Uncle is a scam, he is not someone she should believe or trust. He is a pain in the ass.
” I hate to see you like this,” he said, wheeling himself towards her. Jenny didn’t say anything but just looked away. She can’t help it but be the way she is.
” Everything is going to be fine someday. But don’t hurt yourself by sobbing so much” he said and when he saw she was not saying anything nor looking at him, he turned and was wheeling himself away when she called him.
” Darling,” Jenny said. She gasped, surprised that she called him so. She had always called him Eduardo. But that night, she called him darling.
Eduardo paused. She called him darling? She really did? He carefully turned and looked at her. She was staring at him with teary eyes.
“I need your help,” Jenny said, walking towards him. She came and stood before him. Before Eduardo would ask what she needed his help for, Jenny blurted ” I need you to help me destroy my parents killers”
Eduardo squinted. Does she already know who they are? Did she know that her uncle was behind the calamity that befell her parents and rendered her orphaned?
“Do you have an idea about who they are?” Eduardo asked. If she already knows, that would be better. All they would be doing is working towards getting evidence which is much simpler.
“Yes. Patrick and Sebrina Davis are my parents’ killers. But I need evidence to bring them before the law..” Jenny Requested.
Eduardo nodded. ” Not only will you get an evidence, you will also have a witness,” he assured her. He saw Jenny’s countenance changed. She became cheerful and squatted before Eduardo, taking his hand and hugging it.
Next morning, grandfather Larry Campbell was feeling unwell. The doctor came to check on him and said he was deteriorating in health. Larry Campbell was not getting any younger and therefore, attention should be given when it comes to his health.
For no major reason, Larry Campbell was being hypertensive. Lola said he is doing well and fine. She really doesn’t know what else to attribute his illness besides hereditary.
All the same, grandfather Larry Campbell was placed on medication and Lola promised that she would ensure her father in-law take his medication as at when due.
Camilla woke up late that morning. She was sluggish to stand up. She felt like remaining on the bed and sleeping all day. She groggily stood up and went to have a bath.
As she walked out of the bathroom, she suddenly paused in her steps. What is happening to her. She squinted, checked the date on her phone and she suddenly sank into the sofa with her towel around her chest.
She can’t remember the date she last menstruated. Had Rodrigo finally succeeded in his desire? She needs to go to the hospital.
At breakfast, she ate little and suddenly she felt nausea. She tried to control it, hiding it away from her mother but Sara Dickson soon noticed something abnormal.
” Are you alright Camilla?” She asked. Why is she feeling as if she looked pale and tender? It’s as if Camilla was fighting against throwing up, drinking almost a full glass of water after each bite of the toasted bread.
But before Camilla could say yes, she’s fine, the irritation came from within suddenly and she couldn’t fight it back again and uuuuhhhh she threw up, covering her mouth and standing up hurriedly from the dining table.

“… what do you mean you didn’t know when you slept with her? Why would you get involved with such an ambitious girl and think you can get away with it?Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The Anderson’s have been known to uphold their reputation. Why would you drag the family name into such more? I didn’t think dad and mum would approve of you being married to that girl” Eduardo bellowed.
He eyed his brother. How could Luke be so careless? How can he even accept to go for dinner with the Davis Family? He went for dinner and ended up spending the night there.
No wonder he woke up finding himself nude under the quilt with that spoiled brat. What nonsense. How can it be certified that she was really pregnant with Luke’s child.
“I’m sorry brother. This is just too shameless on my path. That’s why I told her to abort the pregnancy. I told her I don’t love her, I have Katie and I can’t break her heart” Luke was sober.
His brother had told him to meet him at home that morning before office. He knew it would be the issue with Betty and the sudden pregnancy.
” What will you do now? If she refused to have an abortion, no Anderson’s child will be born out of wedlock. Are you going to get married to that ambitious woman and her shameless mother?
And remember that they are Jenny’s family. Are you going to be married to your sister in-law’s sister? And besides, are you even sure that the baby in her womb is yours?” Eduardo asked.
“I don’t know Brother. I didn’t feel like I had sex with her when I woke up, bit I didn’t remember anything from the previous night either. So confuso Brother” Luke was confused.
He woke up in Betty’s bed and she complained that he forced her and raped her. He was indeed nude beneath the quilt with her. He didn’t know if he truly raped her or it was the other way round. Or perhaps, he didn’t even do it at all.
” I want the DNA of the foetus done before anything else” Eduardo declared and dismissed his brother.
When Luke left, Eduardo returned to his bedroom. He went to have a quick bath and stepped out of the bathroom with his towel around his neck.
He least expected to find her in his room that morning, and hence, he was starked naked in his charming body when he was out of the bathroom:
