Chapter 435 Self-Inflicted

Suzanna rushed to stand in front of Cameron, who was sitting on a stretcher chair, her hands trembling as she tugged at his sleeve. "Cam, I know I've made mistakes, but I've been trying to make things right."

The sting from the slap on her face still lingered, but she was too overwhelmed to focus on it.

All she cared about was that without Cameron's forgiveness, life at the Shields would become

unbearable.

On top of that, Derrick was no longer willing to protect her from the court summons regarding Melody's lawsuit from the YM Law Firm.

Without Cameron's support, she would be even more vulnerable within the family.

She dreaded the thought of being sent back to that dark, confined room.

Cameron listened, but her words only grated on his nerves. At first, he had doubts but chose to trust her because of their family bond.noveldrama

However, he was sharp. Once he saw through Suzanna's actions, everything instantly became clear to him.

Although Cameron led a quiet life, he knew well that Carson's imprisonment was a result of Suzanna's careless misuse of the music Melody had created.

That mishap led to Carson being arrested and fined for using it commercially.

Suzanna was also involved in Derrick and Gary's troubles.

There was also the incident with Timothy, where Suzanna framed Melody for stealing the pen drive.

As Cameron thought about it, horror filled him. He swayed slightly on the stretcher but forced himself to sit up straight.

His lips were pressed tight, his face lined with pain and anger. His gaze toward Suzanna was sharp, like a blade.

"Suzanna, have you lied enough?

"So, you're telling me that Melody is the reason my legs might be able to heal?

"Is it Melody who has been massaging my legs every night and burning incense to help them heal Is it because she has quietly done so much for me over the years that I now have a chance to stand@gain?"

Each word Cameron spoke felt like a painful stab to his heart. The hurt was overwhelming.

He sat there, only about ten feet away from Melody, but he knew the emotional distance between them had become unbridgeable.

Cameron couldn't even bring himself to look up and see her face. The cruel things he had said to her before now felt like invisible daggers coming back to wound him.

It was at that moment that he truly understood the meaning of self-inflicted pain.

Sean, hearing Cameron's words, couldn't help but glance toward Melody.

He never realized how much she had done for the Shields, especially for Cameron.

It seemed that Melody hadn't been as indifferent to family as he thought. Her current coldness was likely just a mask, a way to protect herself from the hurt of giving so much without getting anything in return.

Deep down, she must still crave the love of a family.

If she was able to help Cameron before, maybe she could do it again.

Hope sparked in Sean's eyes. He quickly walked over to Melody, his tone softening.

"Mel, I was wrong before. I didn't know how much you had done for Cam.

"Let's not dwell on the past anymore. Forget all that for now. Can you still help Cam with his legs?

"Didn't your massage and aromatherapy give him hope before? Maybe you can try again.

"Don't worry. As long as you can help him, I'll make sure your sister faces the consequences for everything she's done. Her jealousy has gone too far. I can send her abroad so she won't bother you anymore."
