Chapter 1071: Chapter 1042 What Do You Mean by This? Chapter 1071: Chapter 1042 What Do You Mean by This? Camden reassuredly returned to his workplace organization, and Kiara saw him off before he left.
As she watched him about to drive away, Kiara looked at his profile and felt that at this moment, Mario Yuno somewhat resembled the silent and reticent man he was in her past life.
Some things suddenly became clear.
In her past life, she saw this as a form of dullness, which also became one of the reasons she despised him and developed pre-marriage phobia.
But now, she suddenly understood that sometimes silence can signify an awareness without pointing it out; it’s also an attitude of indulgence and pampering.
She believed that Camden must have another solution to handle this matter, maybe a more upright one compared to her method, after all, he was an excessively honest man.
But he chose to let her go ahead with her plan, to tacitly accept, even appreciate, her strategy.
Isn’t this a form of love as well?
Why didn’t she understand in her past life…
“Camden.”
She called out to him.
Mario Yuno turned his head to look at her, “What’s wrong?”
“The way I handled this time… was it too harsh?”
He smiled, reached his hand out of the car window, and gently touched her face, “Silly girl.”
Kiara smiled as well.
Not taking a stance is a stance in itself, and it’s not too late to understand that now.
He often babbled inconsequential things to her, and sometimes when she was being fierce, he would suddenly throw in a nonsensical joke to lighten the mood. While he seemed to be goofing around, his mind was clear as a mirror; he knew everything but chose not to spell it out.
Kiara recalled telling Draco Clark that power is like a weight, and with power comes the discernment of significance.
Mario Yuno was her “power,” weighing her actions, preventing her from crossing the line of propriety.
Imagining his handsome face as the weight, Kiara thought it was amusing and chuckled.
Since Camden, the embodiment of fair judgment, had tacitly approved her actions, she might as well roll up her sleeves and get to work!
…
When Mina Fernandez woke up, she sat on the bed with a moment of confusion.
Looking out of the window, dusk had fallen, and the city had just put on a layer of dark blue. The sky resembled diluted blue-black ink, and it was dinner time. Her brain was still a bit slow to respond.
She sat on the bed for a while before she remembered that she had an argument with the old nanny who cooked lunch, and with the pressure building up lately, she had lost control of her emotions.
The nanny who cleaned the house seemed to have consoled her a lot. Mina Fernandez remembered she hadn’t said anything out of line, she had kept mum on things she shouldn’t discuss, and it seemed she only talked about trivial matters to the “village girl” nanny, such as her relationship with her father and with Zara Yount–little did Mina Fernandez know that the words she thought were irrelevant were vital in helping Kiara analyze and determine her character traits.
Mina Fernandez got out of bed looking for the nanny who chatted with her, but the room was empty, no sign of the nanny. Mina Fernandez walked to the door, wanting to ask the bodyguard watching the door where the nanny had gone, and when they would have dinner.
Just as she reached the door, she suddenly heard sobbing from outside. Huh, why was the bodyguard crying?
“Whimpering, are you sure? The Chairman really has that unspeakable disease? What should we do, my wife has been… you know, with the Chairman. Does that mean I could catch it too? It’s over, I haven’t lived enough!”
With just one sentence, a massive amount of information was revealed.
Mina Fernandez stopped in her tracks, listening to the conversation on the other side of the door, her heart pounding with terror.
“Elder brother, is everything you’re saying true? Did my sister-in-law really with the chairman…?!” Another bodyguard’s voice sounded very surprised.
Another voice came with a sobbing tone, “Do you think I’d lie to you? Just look at that woman in the room, and you can guess the chairman isn’t really picky when it comes to women, my daughter-in-law works at the Property Sales Office, she’s so pretty and the chairman took a liking to her.”
“Bro, I feel for you, you’re such a good guy, how could someone cuck you on the sly?”
“The scariest part is yet to come, do you know what I heard the chairman’s Secretary say today? Guess what? The chairman’s HIV test came back positive, ah, he’s positive, and my daughter-in-law definitely won’t be able to escape it, so what am I–what am I supposed to do!”
Sobs came from outside the door, and Mina Fernandez stumbled, feeling as though everything went dark before her eyes.
HIV, isn’t that AIDS?
She knew too well about this stuff, one of her clients was a drug user, who then suddenly stopped coming to the gym. When she called, she found out the person had contracted HIV. At the time, the entire gym was in a state of panic, chaos ran rampant, and anyone who had contact with that client went for a medical checkup. She also gained a lot of information about it and knew it spread through sexual contact, blood, and mother-to-child transmission.
If Phillip Yuno had contracted this thing, then she–
Mina Fernandez staggered.
She thought she had found a shortcut to happiness, could it be that she had actually dug herself a path to Hell?
She didn’t know how much time had passed; the discussion outside had quieted down, but Mina Fernandez was oblivious, maintaining her position leaning against the wall, wishing she could run out and get a checkup for herself right now.
The door opened, and Phillip Yuno came in with a bag, looking somewhat haggard.
“Ah, Chairman!” Mina Fernandez gasped when she saw him.
“Mina, are you getting used to living here?” Phillip Yuno casually placed the bag on the table. Mina Fernandez instinctively stepped back, increasing the distance between her and her elder brother.
“I, I’m still not used to it, the two guys outside won’t let me leave, I feel like I don’t have any freedom of movement.” Mina Fernandez didn’t even know what she was saying; her mind was a mess, eager to run out right away, yet she didn’t dare to directly ask her elder brother about his illness.
The wealthy are often ruthless, could he get furious out of embarrassment and silence her?
“Like this, tomorrow I’ll have someone take you to get some medicine, and after you get the medicine, I won’t have them guard you anymore. I need to go overseas to handle some matters in this period, you stay here and take good care of the pregnancy.”
“What medicine?” Mina Fernandez’s heart instantly flashed with the words “antibody”. She heard if a mother is infected with HIV, taking some medications during pregnancy could reduce the chances of transmission to the child.
“Don’t ask unnecessary questions, you’re getting a checkup tomorrow.” Her elder brother seemed very authoritative as he then glanced at Mina Fernandez’s stomach.
“It all depends on your stomach now, when the results of this damn checkup come out, it’s just–”
He left his sentence hanging, having said almost nothing, yet Mina Fernandez immediately thought of many possibilities.
Could it be his entire family was sick, and there were problems with those two children as well?
So now everything was depending on her stomach?!
Her elder brother said no more but walked straight to the bathroom. While he was inside, Mina Fernandez, with trembling hands, reached for the bag her elder brother had placed on the table.
She easily saw the piece of paper, opening it made her vision go dark, and she slumped into the chair, powerless.
If the chairman was indeed sick, she couldn’t escape it either, and she was still so young…
Her elder brother stayed in the bathroom for a long time, timing it so most of the people outside would be gone before he came out, and just then his phone rang timely. He took a call and then left.
Before leaving, he tossed Mina Fernandez a card, tossing out a line to spend however she wanted before he took off.
Mina Fernandez didn’t even feel like crying now, not only did she have to worry about her checkup results tomorrow, but she also wanted to say–
Throwing someone a card without telling them the PIN, what’s the meaning of that?
