Chapter 236
Madison was huddled on the ground. She wrapped her arms around her legs and sobbed uncontrollably.
A deep sense of regret and helplessness washed over her deep down. She felt that if she hadn't been so
arrogant before, she might have been the one rising to success by Cameron's side. She would've been able to
enjoy the happiness she had now lost by her own hands,
Cameron was expressionless as he walked away. The sound of Madison's sobs faded behind him. There were no
signs of pity in his eyes for her. To him, she was no longer worth any of his attention.
“Cameron, is it okay to leave Madison here alone?”

“But your face is swollen. Let's get smedicine to reduce the swelling when we get back,” he suggested as
he showed concern for Dakota.
“Do you know which medicine to get?” Dakota was surprised by this revelation.
“I learned a bit from my mentor. Let's get you home,” Cameron said gently.

“Sir, | need three ounces each of ephedra, patchouli, poria, and winter melon seed,” Cameron said as he
entered. He listed the ingredients with ease.
“Right away, sir,” the shopkeeper replied.
He fetched the herbs for Cameron, weighed them, and handed them over. “Here are the ingredients you
requested.”

Cameron twitched at the sight of her. Tara was the woman who had caused him trouble in the hospital ward
before. He had blocked her on the Messengertwo days ago.
Tara seemed preoccupied. Her usually keen awareness was dulled. Had it been a normal day, she might have
already approached him. She might have tried to take him back to her lab for research.
But Cameron preferred it this way. It avoided unnecessary trouble. After all, Tara was not easy to deal
with.
Cameron planned to leave quietly. However, Tara's brows furrowed slightly as if she sensed something. She
turned and saw Cameron trying to sneak away.
Her lips curled into an amused smile. Her unique, bell-like laughter filled the air. “Wha coincidence, handsome
man. We meet again.”

Cameron paused. He was surprised to be noticed by Tara. He turned and smiled at her. “Dr. Smith, what a
coincidence, indeed.”
