Chapter 73: Chapter 73

Cameron's POV.

It's exactly, three hours, Padgett left and she is not yet back, my eyes were fixed on the clock as the time tick, and everywhere is getting dark.

Cameron, you should go home and rest.

Come on Cam, you should go home and rest, you and Berry must be tired, you should rest.

That is true, I am really tired, come on Cupcake let's go home.

Berry leave me alone If you are tired you should go home and stop trying to act like we are sweet because we are not sweet.

How could you be so mean, I am only here to help you?

Then don't help me, stop helping me, I don't want your help. I dragged my stuff and then walked out of the ward in anger, Berry walked out, after some time.

Let me have the keys, I want to go home.

You should go with the security, you don't need the keys.

Cameron, you don't want us to create a scene here, do you? She said in anger while dragging the keys from me. You should be very careful, and remember stay away from Padgett, I saw you staring at her lustfully, I saw you looking all mad at her, when she referred to you as siblings, I know that look, I know you still have your eyes on her but it will do you more harm than good if you keep nursing feelings for Padgett. She said pushing her way out of the walkway towards the garage.

After she left, I was standing at the walkway, hoping that Padgett will come back but she didn't, and it passed eleven already when I return to the ward, mom was sleeping beside her husband, I look at her, maybe, I misjudged dad, even though he wasn't a good father to me, he was a good husband to mom, and mom's happiness is more important to me than anything. I tap her, so she goes lies down properly

Son! I thought you left with Berry. She said as she stretch and yawn.

You should know I can't leave you here alone, you should lie on the bed properly.

Thanks, son! Where are you going to sleep now? She asked as she lie on the bed.

Not to worry, I am not feeling sleepy. I said as I look at the wall clock.

Son, stop staring at the time, it's not up to the time, the doctor said your dad will...

Is Padgett not coming back? Isn't it too late to be alone with a boy by this time? I asked in anger, I could no longer control myself; my mom stared at me. Stop giving me that look, her supposed dad is in the hospital and she is giving herself to a boy freely...

Cameron, are you okay? Mom asked, staring at me in shock.

I am fine, I will probably go home. I said standing up.

It's late you shouldn't go home and Padgett, she texted that she can't come back, so I asked her to stay with...

Sutton? You are encouraging her to give her body to that worthless asshole.

Cameron, are you okay? She is an adult, not a baby.

Oh now, she is not a baby but an adult? But back then she is a baby...

Cameron, you should stop and stop it right now, I wouldn't want your dad to get to hear this.

Fine, I am not saying anything, I am only concerned because she is my sister. I say that, with pain in my chest as I walked out of the ward.

Padgett's POV

Baby girl, did you mean that Cameron is back with that prostitute of a Berry?

Emerald!!!

Sorry, but it's annoying, right now, I feel like punching that asshole's face, he had better not show his face to me, or else I will damage it. Emerald said as we all look at her.

Yes, I too really want to damage his face, I bet he is no longer cute. Julia said, I look at her, and I could see all of them trying to make me feel better.

Why do you want him to go ugly? Ray asked then walked towards me. How are you holding on? Ray asked.

I guess, I am fine, I just don't want to see his face right now. I said sincerely.

Then you shouldn't, you should come here, you can go to work from here. Alex said.

How is that possible my dad, was shot he is in comatose, wouldn't that make me an irresponsible daughter? I asked in frustration.

Yes tell your mom, she will cover up for you, just tell her, you are busy with work. Ray said.

What do you think Sutton? I asked him since he didn't say a word. Sutton!!! I hit him, he is overly quiet since we arrived, he was the one who picked me up from the hospital.

What? She said jumping from his thoughts. What are you saying?

The question should be, what is wrong with you? Emerald said.

Probably he impregnated a girl. Alex said.

That would have been that asshole line. Ray said, we all burst into laughter.

Silly, I didn't I am just lost in my thoughts, so what is it? He said blushing the thought away.

The thing is, Padgett is looking for a way to stay away from that punk, so Alex suggested, she makes an excused and come live with us. Emerald said.

Okay, so my opinion is needed. He asked, I pulled his cheeks.

You should know your opinion counts in everything I do, so shoot, what do you think? Start talking ASAP. He laughed and then hit my head slightly.

You beautiful naughty girl... I blushed as he called me that, whenever he calls me that, I love it, I really do. It's okay, it's nice but will your mom agree?

You could help me. I said winking at him.

This girl, you really want me to go to hell. He said as I smiled, he always makes out lies for me back then anytime, I want to stay away from home.

Please!!!

Fine, I will just have to tell her, you are busy with work, which means you had to work. I frown because I know he is going to drag me to all his functions and made me act like his girlfriend for girls to stay away from him. Is it a deal?

Yes, a blackmailer. I called him, and everyone titter, in a few seconds, he had composed what I will tell mom to let me off the hook and she did agree, what can I do without him, he is a friend that is more than a brother.

Cameron's POV

For the past four days, Padgett didn't come home, nor the hospital and dad are awake and they didn't see anything bad in what Padgett is doing, right now, dad is talking so sweet on the phone with her, telling her that he is out of comatose and will be going home today, I haven't really been to my house since I arrived town, I really have bad memories from that house, that I want to forget all about and I didn't see any need of going back, I never planned of coming back, if not for mom, I will never return.

Hon! You are happy, right? Mom asked dad, as he grin from ear to ear after ending the call, I really didn't see it coming, when did they grow fond of each other, I felt like an outsider.

Yes, she is making me proud, did you know that the financial assistant mailed me that, our Padgett had signed a huge contract?

Oh! She is making you proud because she is your money-making machine.

Son, you shouldn't talk to your dad like that. My mom tries to stop me. Padgett is a caring daughter. I laughed at my mom's words.

Caring daughter indeed, such a caring daughter but she didn't show up after the first day, she arrived here, a daughter that is gallivanting around town with her boyfriend that forgets all about her dad, is indeed a caring daughter, what an irony? I said sarcastically.

Cupcake, what do you have against your sister...

Berry, stop calling her my sister, she is not my sister. I yelled in anger, I am fucking getting frustrated with everyone referring to her as my sister, did they all know how painful it is, for me to forget the woman, I love, and be with the woman, I hate to the bone.

Let's go home!!!
