Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 104 He Did That Intentionally

“That's none of your business!”

| had never felt more stupid for caring about him.

“You're right, it is none of my business. Benjamin toldyou nearly drank yourself to death, but I'm kind of

disappointed that you didn’t actually die. Please tell your men to not informunless it’s your funeral.”

| then turned around and walked toward the door after saying that.

Damn it, | shouldn't have come! Why was | even worried about this piece of sh*t?

| thought to myself as | opened the door, only to see Camille standing outside with her eyes red and swollen.

Oh, for f¥ck’s sake! Why am | so unlucky? Now | have to deal with another piece of sh*t!

“Liliana...” Camille took a step back in fear when she saw me.

| wasn’t sure why she reacted that way toward me, but | didn’t care and simply walked past her.

I didn’t see Nicholas outside the ward, so | was about to give him a call when | saw Yvonne coming over.

“Dr. Baker!” | waved at her.

“Ah, are you here to visit Dominic?” Yvonne asked straightforwardly.

My cheeks puffed up with anger as I replied, “Hmph! Why would | visit someone that lively and well? Besides,

he’s got his fiancée with him, so I'd just be a third wheel there!”

Yvonne adjusted her glasses and asked, “Aren’t you curious as to why he ended up being hospitalized?”

| shook my head. “I'm not interested in his affairs.”

He just said it was none of my business, and | wasn’t about to repeat that smistake.

Yvonne ignored my reply and continued, “He drank too much and suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding. If this

happens again, he could very well meet his maker on the spot.”

| felt my chest tighten upon hearing that, but | responded by saying, “Only the good die young, so he’s going to

live a pretty long life.”

“He actually did that with the intention to kill himself.”

So what? That's none of my business!

“I've got sbusiness to attend to, so I'll be on my way now. See you, Dr. Baker.” | grew impatient and didn’t

want to stay there any longer.

| gave Nicholas a call after saying goodbye to Yvonne, and he askedto wait for him at the elevator.

He said he would cover right away, but Camille cbefore he did.

The mere sight of that pretentious look of hers madeextremely uncomfortable, and she was the shameless

type who would cling to you even when you keep trying to brush them off.

“Thank goodness, you're still here. There's something | want to talk to you about, Liliana.”

| said coldly, “We have nothing to talk about.”

“Don’t be like that, Liliana. | just wanted to apologize to you for what happened at the reunion. | didn’t know

Dom would treat you like that.”

| let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Oh, please... Dominic isn't here right now, so you can drop the act now, you

pretentious b*tch! Apologize? Don’t makelaugh! | bet you were overjoyed at the time, weren't you?”

Camille froze for a second and had an innocent look on her face.

However, that look quickly disappeared and was replaced by an annoying, gleeful grin.

“Of course! It’s nice to see how much Dom hates you!”

“Yeah, you look a lot easier on the eyes when you're being your b*tchy self!” | said with a snicker.

Wanting to anger her even further, | stroked my chin and continued in a serious tone, “Camille, do you know

what the difference is between your biggest strength and your biggest weakness? Well, I'll tell you. Your

weakness is you being a b*tch, and your strength is you being too much of a b*tch.”

“You...” Camille’s face went stiff from anger, and | could see her going through a myriad of expressions in an

instant.

Not wanting to waste any more of my ton her, | waved at her like she was an annoying fly and said,

“Dominic is waiting for you, so you should get going now.”

“I'm sorry, Liliana! I'm sorry...” Camille grabbed my arm and began crying all of a sudden.

| brushed her hand off in disgust. “Don’t touch me! Get your crazy a*s away from me!”

Man, she really is something! Glaring daggers ata second ago, and breaking into tears the next? I'm

surprised she hasn't won an Oscar yet!

Camille grabbed onto my arm once again. “I know I’ve wronged you, and that | shouldn't be with Dom! I'll leave

him so you can have him back, Lili!”

Her pretentious act was really starting to anger me, and | shoved her off in response.

“What the h*ll is wrong with you? You hit yourself on the head when you were little or something?”

She then pretended to fall down from being shoved, much to my disgust.

Wow, really? Can't you at least be a little more creative? That was such a light push! If you like falling so much,

how about you try falling down a flight of stairs next time? Besides, Dominic isn’t here, so what's the point of

doing this?

“Who are you putting this act up for?”

“I'm not acting, Lili! Please, you have to believe me!”

Camille stood up and tried to graba third time, but | pushed her away really hard this time.

“Cut it out, damn it! Get the h*Il away from me!”

“Camille!”

| turned around when | heard someone call out to Camille, and saw a woman approaching from the corridor.

I had no idea who she was, but | knew for a fact that she wasn’t Camille’s mom.

| had been to Camille's house for dinner countless times when we were still close friends in university, so | knew

how her mom looked like, and this woman looked nothing like her.

“When did you get here, Milena?”

The woman helped tidy up Camille’s hair and said with a gentle smile, “I got here a while ago and was asking the

doctor about his condition.”

Camille had a concerned look on her face as she asked, “So, what happened earlier...”

“Yes, | saw everything. Are you all right? You're not hurt, are you? Dom worries a lot about you, so it would pain

him to see you getting injured like this.”

“Aw, shucks!” Camille blushed like a shy little girl.

Um... What on earth is going on here? Judging by the way this woman speaks, she seems to be very close with

Dominic and Camille... Could she be a relative of ssort?

The woman gave Camille a pat on the back of her hand, and the look in her eyes changed when she turned

toward me.

“So, you're the woman who slept with my son?” she asked with an icy-cold and penetrating gaze.

Huh? Her son? Who? Dominic?

| was so shocked that my legs nearly gave out underneath me.

Where the h*ll is Nicholas when | need him?
