In the VIP ward, Bradleyy on a big bed, his head wrapped in white bandages,
his face deathly pale, and his eyes tightly shut.
"Brad?" Cameron rushed over without hesitation.
When she was about three feet from the bed, Cameron slowed down, her steps
growing lighter as she quietly approached.
The whole Saunders family had been in the room, but when they saw Cameron
arrive, they all quietly and knowingly slipped out.
Only Damian, who was there as the doctor, stayed behind.
Cameron sat at Bradley''s bedside. His right hand had an IV drip, so she carefully
took his left hand in hers.
Cameron asked softly, "How''s Brad doing?"
"Cam," Damian reassured her, one hand in hisb coat pocket, "Brad was lucky-
he only suffered a head injury. Even though he''s still unconscious, he''s out of
danger now. He should wake up by this evening, so try not to worry too much."
Cameron pressed her lips together. She casually ced her fingers on Bradley''s
wrist to check his pulse. After a long moment, the furrow in
her brow finally rxed.
Cameron pulled her hand back and turned to Damian. "How did Brad get into a
car ident?"
Bradley''s a skilled driver, and there were hardly any cars on the road at that hour.
It just doesn''t add up.

Damian said, "ording to the surveince footage from early this morning, that
truck had been parked there since midnight, lying in wait. As soon as it spotted
Brad''s car, it gunned it and mmed right into him, then took off."
Cameron frowned at his words.
Damian continued, "The police found the truck about 18 miles from the scene.
Both the license te and the truck itself had been scrapped. The police have
preliminarily ssified the case as murder, but they don''t have any leads on the
suspect yet."
Damian told Cameron everything without holding back. For one thing, he already
considered Cameron part of the Saunders family. For another, she seemed to be
holding it together.
Upon hearing what Damian said, Cameron''s frown deepened. "Has Brad offended
anyone recently?" she asked.
Damian let out a sigh. "Brad''s work as awyer has inevitably hurt a lot of
people''s interests, but with the Saunders family behind him, nothing''s ever
happened all these years.
"This time, we really don''t know who would have the guts to try and kill him."
Someone was clearly out to kill Bradley. Thankfully, his car was well-built, and
Bradley reacted fast-plus, luck was on his side he only ended up with a head
injury.
Cameron just frowned, saying nothing. Just then, her phone buzzed. Right now,
she really didn''t feel like checking her messages.
About half an hourter, Cameron finally fished out her phone and checked her
messages. When she saw the message, Cameron''s grip on the phone
suddenly tightened.
[Cameron, I''ll make you taste what it''s like to lose the one you love most.]

''What the hell? It''s me. The person ising after me. But instead, he targeted
Bradley. Who could it be?'' Cameron wondered anxiously
Cameron''s life was as simple as it gets-just going back and forth between work
and home.
Yet this person said he would make Cameron taste what it was like to lose the
one she loved most, too.
''When did I ever offend him?'' Cameron thought.
There was no way to trace the sender. Cameron had no idea where to even start.
She decided to send a reply. [Sorry, but you''re going to be disappointed.]
The response came almost instantly. [Oh, he''s still alive?]
Cameron blinked in surprise. She hadn''t expected the
sender to actually reply.
Cameron stood up at once and turned to Damian. "Damian, could you look after
Brad for me? There''s something I need to take care of."
