A Love Trap

Chapter 861 I'll Find Her Myself

The moment Jeremy heard what Angelina said, he couldn't stay calm anymore.

He immediately turned and focused his gaze on Angelina. Tilting his head, he asked, "What did you just say?"

Upon seeing his reaction, Angelina smiled in triumph. Returning Jeremy's stare, he looked at him and asked, "I said, don't you want to know where the real Camelia is?"

Jeremy looked at her more intently. "What do you know about it?"

Angelina replied, "I know much more than you think!

So what will you do then? Will you keep on treating me like this?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Oh Brother, how can I even dare to threaten you? All I want in this world is your love. I have been in love with you for so long. Do you really not have any romantic feelings for me?

I'm not your sister anymore! I am simply myself. I'm Angelina!"

"Don't you think you should be ashamed to say that?"

"But why would I? I'm only telling the truth! We are not related by blood!"

"I've always treated you as my sister for so long. How could you have such ideas in your head?"

Jeremy did not avert his gaze at Angelina for even a second. No matter what she wanted, he was still hesitant when Angelina mentioned Camelia.

For countless years, he had been looking for Camelia. Since it turned out that he found the wrong person, he couldn't help but think that he had just wasted a lot of time.

Trying to steer the conversation to the most important thing, Jeremy asked, "Where is Camelia right now?" Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Angelina responded, "I will tell you if you promise me one thing."

"What do you want?"

"Be with me."

"No, that's impossible! I can't do that" Jeremy didn't have to think about it. He just refused right away.

How could he be with Angelina?

Jeremy and Angelina had been living their lives for five years as brothers and sisters. He had never once thought of treating her as more than a sister. From the start, it was very clear to him that they had a familial bond. Even if she was not his sister, Jeremy had no idea if he would actually look at her that way.

"Why not?" Angelina asked while looking at Jeremy with a pout.

How could he refuse such a simple request?

Was it really unthinkable for Jeremy to be with her?

If it had been like before, she could understand that Jeremy would not want to be with her. After all, they were brothers and sisters so Jeremy might not look at her as a romantic interest.

But at that moment, she was no longer his sister. They had nothing to do with each other. So why was he still very much opposed to the idea?

Out of sheer stubbornness, Angelina did not avert her eyes from Jeremy. She was waiting for his response.

After a while, Jeremy finally spoke. "I don't think of you that way, Angelina. I have always treated you as my sister."

Angelina smiled and said, "But I'm not your sister anymore. You already know that, right? It goes without saying that you can be with me now."

Jeremy looked at her with coldness pouring from his eyes. "Go away right this second!"

Angelina had never thought that Jeremy would react like this. She was desperate at that point. "Jeremy, I have news about Camelia! Don't you want to know where she is right now?"

"I'll find her myself."

It was the last time that Jeremy addressed Angelina.

The moment he finished talking, Jeremy turned around and got into the car next to him.

Without wasting another second, he drove to the hospital.

No matter what Angelina said and how much trouble she made, how could she compare to their servant?

The servant had actually heard the conversation between Jeremy and Angelina. She then understood that Angelina was not the real daughter of the Gu family. She was just pretending all this time.

The real Camelia was still missing.

Sometime later, Jeremy parked the car by the gate of the hospital. After turning off the ignition of the vehicle, he rubbed his temples. He could feel a severe headache from the stress brought about by the

current situation.

He didn't even know how to face his parents then.

Everything that happened tonight had made the situation complicated.

Jeremy could not help but think that it was his fault. So no matter what he needed to do, he was determined to fix everything.

Finally, Jeremy got out of the car. He then asked a nurse which ward his mother was admitted.

Inside the room, Belinda was connected to a drip. Martin was sitting beside her bed while holding her other hand which wasn't hooked to the IV fluid.

Lying on the bed, Belinda's eyes were closed very tightly.

When Jeremy entered the room, he looked at his parents and whispered, "Dad."

Martin raised his head and looked at Jeremy with an impassive expression on his face. "You're here."

"Father." Jeremy nodded at Martin.

"How is Mom?"

"She's not awake yet. I think we have to wait for a little while. Earlier, the doctor said she passed out because of some triggering factors."

Jeremy pursed his lips for a while before he said, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me.

You should say sorry to your mother and Camelia who hasn't been found yet. Who knows what's happening to her right now? Is she eating well? Is she living a comfortable life? We don't know.

When Angelina came to our lives, I didn't like her very much. But your mother was so fond of her. You also showed me your report that she was really Camelia. I trusted you and your judgment so I didn't investigate it myself. But with how things turned out, how can you explain this?"

When Jeremy was about to respond, Martin stopped him with a hand gesture. He then softly said, "Let's go outside. We shouldn't disturb your mother."

"Sure Father, let's go."

Following Martin, Jeremy walked out of the ward.

Martin made sure to close the door of the room.

It was already late at night so the corridors of the hospital were very quiet.

His father sat on a stool. While looking at Jeremy, he said, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"Angelina is not a member of the Gu family. It was me who's at fault. I found the wrong person. But Angelina knew the truth just a few days after I brought her back. For five years, she hid the truth from everyone.

I only found out recently. I was planning to tell you after I had already dealt with it. But I didn't foresee that the two of you would come upstairs and coincidentally overhear my conversation with Angelina."

"So what do you plan to do now?"

"I was thinking about sending Angelina abroad. Then I would talk with you about how to explain it to Mom. But what I didn't expect was that Angelina would have romantic feelings for me, so I drove her

away."

Belinda and Martin did hear Angelina's confession about her feelings toward Jeremy.

It was completely out of their expectation that Angelina was the kind of person who would do something like that. More so, they couldn't have imagined that she would have feelings for her brother.

"That's fine. After all, our family has treated her very well in the past few years.

Now, what I'm worried about the most is your mother. She finally found her own daughter, but now, it turned out that Angelina is just an impostor who even wants to have a relationship with her son."

Jeremy responded, "I'll explain it to Mom. As for my sister, I will do everything I can to find her, for real this time."

Martin stood up and patted Jeremy on the shoulder. "Okay, that sounds good."
