Chapter 709:
The sudden question caught Camille off guard. She fumbled for an answer, blurting out, “I saw him with some
police officers and a doctor...”
Halfway through her sentence, she stopped abruptly, realizing she had revealed too much.
Carrie's voice softened. “You were worried about him, weren't you? That's why you followed him.”
Camille's silence stretched between them, heavy and telling. Finally, she let out a soft hum of acknowledgment.
“Yeah.”
“What is your plan, Camille?” Carrie asked gently.

driveway.
As he stepped out of the car, his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen. Albin. On the other end, Albin’s voice
trembled slightly. “Kristopher, I've found out the truth. Lise... her heart—it isn’t Lisa's.”
