Chapter 70 Merlin’s Checkup “E-Silas…” Upon wiping away the blood over his eyes, Robin’s mind went blank while he trembled as he turned around to get a clearer sight of the person before him. “I’m sure you have a death wish.” There was a bone-chilling quality to Silas’s tone of voice as he wore a cold expression. The two other men crashed into Robin upon being kicked over by Camila before he could give a response, while Robin cried out in pain as he nearly passed out. While examining Camila from head to toe, Silas could feel the lingering fear in his heart. There was also a sharp prickling sensation to his heart upon noticing that her hair was tousled, her clothes dirty, her wrists red due to the struggle during the strife. “Are you alright?” He thus asked, to which Camila shook her head in response. Despite the ensuing fury, he dared not imagine what would happen if he arrived even one second later. “Go get changed, then we’ll go to the hospital for a check up.” He then made a call on his phone to have his men come over. “I’m alright, so we should pay your grandfather a visit first. Wait here while I go get changed.” Upon taking a deep breath, Camila entered the room after having said so. The limp on her leg hurt as she sat down on the bed, but aside from the bruise that made it evident that she was hurt, she knew not how she hurt it. It was fortunate that her kids weren’t home, or else she wouldn’t manage to take care of everything on her own.
After applying first aid to her wounds, Camila put on a new pair of jeans before leaving her room. The living room was already cleaned when she got back out, and no trace of blood was left on the scene. “I will somehow make this up to you!” There was an apologetic look in Silas’s gaze as he looked at her from where he stood in the living room. “It’s fine. They already got their *ss kicked anyway.” Camila took a deep breath before speaking. “You need not concern yourself with the follow-up.” So was his reply. The both of . them then drove to Nolan Residence. After a couple of visits, Camila was no stranger to the Nolan Residence. She saw Silas’s father, Edward, who exuded an aura of superiority. Although Silas looked nothing like Brian, the both of them bore semblance to Edward. Edward greeted Camila before she could, “You must be Doctor Brooklyn! ThankNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
you for saving my old man!” “It’s part of my job, so you don’t have to thank me,” Camila replied. “His age is catching up to him, so please treat him to the best of your abilities,” Edward said. “Worry not, as I will do my best,” Camila responded in kind. If she were to be frank, she was no good at pleasantries, but nor did Edward say much else aside from reminding Silas to look into it before leaving the room. It didn’t seem like Edward cared about the old man at all when compared to Silas, but Camila chose to keep her silence upon noticing how unfazed Silas was. They entered Merlin’s room to see him in good spirits while greeting Camila, “Why didn’t you bring the kid with you?” Judging from the fact that Merlin inquired about South after having spoken to him for a long while last time, Camila was glad as she determined that Merlin liked South a lot. “South is at school, Master Merlin.” “Oh, you sure have a great kid, Camila!” The old man nodded his head. “But he can also be infuriating at times.” Camila let out a chuckle. “Grandpa, let Doctor Brooklyn give you a checkup.” Silas sounded concerned. “Sure, go ahead.” Merlin gave his consent. Upon gaining his consent, Camila took out a small pillow before checking on his pulse, all the while inquiring about his mood, diet, sleep and others. Ten minutes later, she looked at Merlin with a smile before saying, “You seem to be in good condition, so keep it up.” “It’s all thanks to you.” Merlin barked a laugh upon hearing what she said. “Please don’t say that, Master Merlin. Your grandson is the true hero! He’s the one who was worried sick!” Upon casting a glance at Silas, Camila replied with much humility.
