Edwin couldn't stand it anymore and sneered.
Today, he finally understand what a scheming man Cameron was.
Because of his sneer, Nina turned around and stared at him. When she saw the bruise in his eyes, her anger was ignited again. She scolded Edwin rudely, "How dare you laugh?"
Edwin flinched. He had known Nina's temper since high school. Now he took a step back instinctively to avoid her attack.
He didn't have the strength to fight back if she hit him. On the one hand, Nina was good at fighting. On the other hand, even if he could beat her, it was not appropriate for a man to hit a woman. So he had no choice but to be beaten passively.
When he was in high school, he had experienced this kind of thing for several times. One time, he insisted on fighting with others and he didn't listen to Nina's advice. Then he was scratched by the other party with a knife. When Nina knew it, she beat him up.
He was so young at that time and he accepted the fact that he was beaten up by her.
But now he was almost thirty years old, and it was really shameful to be beaten by Nina.
Nina crossed her arms and glanced at Edwin, who was spineless and took a step back. Then she turned around and glared at Cameron, who was covering his chest with her hands. She continued to roar, "Are you two still kids? Aren't you ashamed if the news spreads? Don't you have any self-restraint?"
Cameron cast a disdainful glance at Edwin. This man was really ungrateful. He pretended to be injured just now in order to transfer Nina's target, so that he wouldn't be scolded, and Edwin wouldn't be scolded either.
Now, all his efforts were ruined by Edwin's sneer.
Edwin was scolded, and so was he.
That's to say, a weak teammate does you more harm than a strong enemy.
He put down his hand which was covering his chest and walked over to hold Nina's shoulder. He apologized without any temper, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Don't be angry."
Edwin was so shocked that his eyes almost dropped. He didn't expect that Cameron had been so cold and ruthless to him before, and now he began to apologize in front of her without any backbone. And the tone of Cameron's voice was so disgusting that he got goose bumps.
To his surprise, Nina didn't give Cameron an overarm throw. If he had provoked her before, he would have been thrown out directly.
At this moment, Nina even allowed Cameron to put his arm around her shoulder. Indeed, different people had different lives.
Maybe this was the difference between love and not love.
She loved Cameron, so she was willing to tolerate him.
Edwin looked away dejectedly.
Nina allowed Cameron to get close to her, which didn't mean that she was not angry. But because Cameron's phone rang before Nina got even with Cameron. Therefore, she asked him to answer the phone first.
However, after Cameron answered the phone, his face suddenly changed. Then he said to the other end of the phone in a low voice, "I'll be there soon." Then he hung up.
Cameron's arm was wrapping around Nina's shoulder. At that moment, she could feel the tension from Cameron's body. She immediately asked with concern, "What happened?"
Cameron tried his best to control himself and replied in a low voice, "My mother had a car accident and she is being rescued in the hospital."
Cameron's voice was as cold as ice, "My father just said on the phone that Melanie had an appointment with her before her accident, Melanie told her the two years when I had been doing scientific research for my mentor abroad."
Confused, Nina asked, "The two years?"
Cameron lowered his eyes, "In fact, I didn't have a good time in those two years. I had suffered a lot. When the research fell into a bottleneck, those dangerous people had also tried to harm us..."
Cameron had never mentioned his life in the two years to anyone, not even to Lucien. In fact, Cameron and his mentor had been treated unfairly.
Those who caught his mentor to do scientific research were violent terrorists. Those terrorists urgently needed a kind of medicine and locked his mentor up to force him to do research. His mentor's energy and ability were limited, and his mentor had to ask Cameron for help because of gruesome torture from those terrorists.
He agreed to help, so he was taken to be locked up with his mentor.
However, it was not easy to do scientific research. When they were stuck in a bottleneck or simply failed in their experiments, those people would attack them. Fortunately, he was not a man to be trifled with. Later, those people did not dare to use force anymore, but Cameron and his mentor were not allowed to eat or drink. Those terrorists tortured them in this way, forcing them to speed up their research.
Then they succeeded and finally got their freedom.
The reason why he didn't mention it to anyone was that since it had been a long time ago, he didn't want to make those who cared about him feel sorry for him. Therefore, he chose to skip the two years easily.
But Melanie knew, because his mentor had told family about it.
Melanie deliberately ran to Colleen and said these things. It could be said that she was extremely vicious. Knowing that her son had suffered a lot, Colleen almost fell apart on the spot.
