Chapter 1071: Chapter 1042 What Do You an by This? Chapter 1071: Chapter 1042 What Do You an 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 mont, Mario Yuno sowhat resembled the silent and reticent man he was in her past life.
So things suddenly beca clear.
In her past life, she saw this as a form of dullness, which also beca one of the reasons she despised him and developed pre-marriage phobia.
But now, she suddenly understood that sotis 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 thod, 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 ti… 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 sotis when she was being fierce, he would suddenly throw in a nonsensical joke to lighten the mood. While he seed 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 cos the discernnt of significance.
Mario Yuno was her “power,” weighing her actions, preventing her from crossing the line of propriety.
Imagining his handso face as the weight, Kiara thought it was amusing and chuckled.
Since Camden, the embodint of fair judgnt, 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 mont 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 ti. Her brain was still a bit slow to respond.
She sat on the bed for a while before she rembered that she had an argunt 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 seed to have consoled her a lot. Mina Fernandez rembered she hadn’t said anything out of line, she had kept mum on things she shouldn’t discuss, and it seed 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 an 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 ca 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 cos to won, 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 soone cuck you on the sly?”
“The scariest part is yet to co, do you know what I heard the chairman’s Secretary say today? Guess what? The chairman’s HIV test ca 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 ca 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 ti, the entire gym was in a state of panic, chaos ran rampant, and anyone who had contact with that client went for a dical 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 ti 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 ca in with a bag, looking sowhat 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 leave, I feel like I don’t have any freedom of movent.” Mina Fernandez didn’t even know what she was saying; her mind was a ss, 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 embarrassnt and silence her?
“Like this, tomorrow I’ll have soone take you to get so dicine, and after you get the dicine, I won’t have them guard you anymore. I need to go overseas to handle so matters in this period, you stay here and take good care of the pregnancy.”
“What dicine?” Mina Fernandez’s heart instantly flashed with the words “antibody”. She heard if a mother is infected with HIV, taking so dications 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 seed 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 co out, it’s just—”
He left his sentence hanging, having said almost nothing, yet Mina Fernandez imdiately 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 ti, timing it so most of the people outside would be gone before he ca out, and just then his phone rang tily. 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 soone a card without telling them the PIN, what’s the aning of that?
