Chapter 223
Cameron expressed his thoughts sincerely. That was all he wanted to say without deception or concealment.
Since it wasn’t a misunderstanding seven years ago, he no longer held any nostalgia or expectations
for Laura.
“Cameron, thank you for sharing with me.”
Dakota looked at his relaxed eyes, pursing her lips slightly.
She was glad that he could confess his thoughts to her, even feeling pleased that he could get back on
his feet.
“Dakota, I'm the one who should thank you. Thanks for obstructing Alan forat all costs.
Cameron's eyes were warm. He could feel Dakota’s determination earlier.
She blushed and said softly, “I'm not that brave... It was Colonel Bailey who protected you. | didn’t do
anything...”

“Silly girl, you've done a lot for me.”
He smiled warmly. Since his injury from protecting Laura, Dakota had been accompanying and attending to him
attentively. She even stood by his side regardless of her safety.
“Hmph, you're the silly one! I'm clever.”
Dakota wrinkled her nose at Cameron.
He laughed.

“Haha, okay, you're the smartest!”
He unconsciously felt his mood improve significantly from being with her.
She hummed softly, “Certainly!”
She also grinned at the sight of his long-lost smile.
“Con, Dakota. Let's go back.”
“Okay. By the way, Cameron...”
“Hmm, what's up?”
“Nothing...”
Dakota wanted to tell Cameron that she would be with him no matter what happened in the future.
But she couldn't say it. She was afraid that he would reject her.
“What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it. Don’t keep it in your heart.”
Sensing that she had something to say, he spoke gently.
“It’s nothing...”
Dakota averted her eyes, worried that Cameron would see through her.
Unbeknownst to her, Cameron had already seen through her uneasiness. He wasn’t dense, after all. He could
sense it.
He gently held her shoulders, then looked at her seriously and sincerely.

“Dakota, just tell me. Is it because of Laura?”
“No, I'm fine. What | want to say is... If | had the strength, | wouldn't have let you be humiliated...”
After saying that, Dakota quickly shook off Cameron’s hands and ran off, blushing as she went.
He stood motionless, obviously not reacting to what she just said.
When he returned to his senses, he felt moyed and immediately chased after her.
“Dakota, wait for me!”
Cameron chased her outside the banquet hall. He smiled gently as he looked at Dakota, who suddenly stopped
at the door.
He was about to approach her, but he soon frowned, looking in the sdirection as she did.
A group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms armed with live ammunition marched toward the hotel. The one
leading the charge was none other than Alan.
“It seems he won't let us leave here without any trouble,” Cameron murmured.
A deep chilled look was behind his narrowed eyes. Coincidentally, Cameron also wanted to deal with
Alan.
