Chapter 2259
Cameron had forced West to contact that man, and the latter confirmed where they would
meet the next day. He had also found out the owner of the phone from the mobile service
provider.
She had assumed that leaving Deedee at the park with the children would be fine, but she
didn‘t expect that someone would attack her. When she saw the bruises Deedee had,
including the choking marks on her neck, she felt extremely guilty.
A group of people walked out of the elevator. She looked up and saw that Waylon was
walking ahead of the bodyguards. Waylon frowned and stopped in front of her. “How‘s
Deedee?”
“I don‘t know yet...” Cameron stood up and looked down. “I‘m sorry. It was my fault.”

Waylon placed a hand on her shoulder. “You can‘t change anything now. Let‘s see what the
doctor has to say.”
Soon after that, the doctor walked out of the room. Cameron immediately walked forward
and asked, “How is she?” “Her injuries aren‘t severe, so she‘s mostly fine. You parents need
to take better care of your child. It‘ll be too late when something bad happens.” After the
doctor gave his diagnosis, he added that piece of advice. Cameron‘s head hung low as she
stood in silence. She nodded, then went into the room. Deedee lay in bed with a dark bruise
on her forehead.
Cameron sat next to the bed and held Deedee‘s hand. “I‘m sorry, it‘s all my fault. I should
have come back earlier. I‘m so sorry.” Cameron looked down as she felt extreme guilt.
Deedee looked at her. “I‘m fine, Cam. It just hurts a little. Grandma would hurt me even
more.”
Cameron couldn‘t hold it on when she heard it. She looked up, and her eyes
were wet. “Deedee, no one will ever dare touch you again.” She took a deep breath, looked
at Deedee, and touched the bruise on her forehead. “If anyone hits you, hit them back. We
don‘t bully, but we won‘t tolerate bullying either.” Deedee blinked in surprise. “But people
who hit others are bad children.” Cameron smiled and taped her nose. “Only those that
bully are bad children. You were bullied. When you hit them while being bullied, it‘s self
defense. Self–defense is a way to protect yourself. If you can protect yourself, you‘ll be able
to protect the people that you want to protect the most.”
Deedee was surprised.
After a child‘s innocence was broken, all their dreams would have been crushed, and they

everything and everyone around them.
But what Cameron told her was like a pebble tossed into the water. The splash wasn‘t big,
but it started a ripple. Waylon watched what happened and smiled, then turned to leave the
room with a cold expression. Cameron stayed with Deedee in the room for a long time
before leaving. When she walked out, she saw Waylon making calls in the corridor and
headed toward him.
Waylon ended the call and turned to face her while putting his phone away.” Why are you
out?”
Cameron looked down. “What happened was my fault. I‘ll take the blame if Freyja and your
brother need an explanation.”
She was responsible for Deedee‘s injuries. Even if they blamed her, she wouldn‘t say
anything and would just accept what happened. Waylon siniled and approached her. “You
want to take responsibility?”
