Rhea was walking in front of Cameron, speaking softly to him as they walked. “Uncle Cameron, I know I’m at fault. I’m responsible for what happened to Tasia.”
Cameron did not answer. Everyone else stared at them in confusion as they watched their exchange.
Rhea and Cameron walked to the middle of the living room. When Rhea stopped, Cameron stopped as well, keeping a few feet between them. Rhea turned to look at Cameron with her head lowered, and she had a heartfelt look.
“Uncle Cameron, I know I’ve been acting like a child, and I’m sorry for what happened to Tasia. However, we should look at the bigger picture. Please reconsider our discussion about the lab just now.”
“All right, I will,” Cameron answered lightly. He sounded a lot calmer, almost gentle. His tone was not as sharp or as cold as before.
Maria was overjoyed to hear this. She turned her head to look at Fabian. Sure enough, his eyes twinkled with anticipation.
“As for the vaccine development project....” Rhea trailed off.
“I’ll think about it,” Cameron replied instantly.
Fabian couldn’t believe his ears. He was so thrilled that he almost fainted.

Anastasia was the only one who looked dazed. She was in disbelief. “Dad?!”
