Chapter 616 Find Someone Better
"I'm fine, Cayson," Yelena replied. However, regardless of how much she tried to calm herself down
and act like her usual self, she couldn't seem to stop her tears from flowing. Cayson felt rather helpless
as Yelena wouldn't tell him what was going on. He didn't know how else to comfort her, so he simply
sat by her side and patted her on her shoulder while handing her pieces of tissue.
"Stay positive, Yelena. There are a lot of great things in life. We should keep ourselves focused on the
good things ahead of us," he said. Yelena tugged her lips into a sneer. "Good things, huh? Why don't I
see any good things ahead?" she uttered in a weak tone. Both her relationships had ended in terrible
failures. Yelena had always thought that romantic relationships were one of her greatest enemies. I've
never done anything wrong, and I've never committed any sins. Why must I go through such suffering?
Yelena felt sorry for herself as she thought about this.
Cayson was smart enough to figure things out based on what he knew about her. He could guess that
she was struggling with some issues in her relationship after hearing what she said. "Did your boyfriend
hurt you? You can share with me," he said.
Yelena shook her head. "I don't have a boyfriend anymore. He broke up with me."
Cayson's heart nearly leaped out of his throat at that moment. He hadn't expected to hear such good
news. If she's single now, does that mean that I get to openly express my interest in her? But with
Yelena still grieving the loss of her relationship, Cayson knew that he couldn't express too much of his
joy then. He didn't want to scare her off. At that thought, Cayson continued to comfort the woman. "I
always knew that he wasn't good for you. You shouldn't have been with him from the start. It's okay. I'm
sure you'll find someone better after this breakup," he uttered.
Yelena wasn't in the mood to listen to such words—she wasn't looking for someone better at all. After
all the challenges she had faced in her romantic life, she felt like she wasn't suited to date at all.
However, what she was the most curious about then was what the other girl looked like. What is it
about that girl that makes it so hard for Hank to forget about her? He even tried to find a replacement
for her, Yelena thought.
As Yelena dried her tears and got to her feet, she came to a firm decision in her heart. "We might have
to pause our shoot for two days, Cayson. I need some time to really process my emotions," she said.
Cayson knew that Yelena was in no condition to film her scenes, so he nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Cayson was also aware of how this was the perfect opportunity for him. He didn't
want to let go of his chance to get closer to her at a time like this. He felt both sorry and hopeful when
he saw Yelena's teary and swollen eyes. "Would you like me to keep you company? We could go for a
short trip," he offered. He tried to soften his voice to make himself sound more caring and pleasant.
Yelena rarely interacted with him on a daily basis, so she frowned upon hearing his suggestion. "Your
schedule is pretty packed, right? I don't think I need you to keep me company," she replied. Cayson
was aware of how he might have overstepped his boundaries, so he scratched the tip of his nose
awkwardly. "Oh, I was just thinking about how you might feel lonely if you're left alone at a time like
this," he said.
She realized how her words might have sounded rather harsh to him, so she beamed and shook her
head. "It's fine. I don't need any company," she uttered. Cayson could no longer say much after that.
Yelena asked the director for a short break, and she decided that she would travel around just to relax
a little. She decided that she would visit the country that she had once vowed to never set foot in again.
That country was the place where Max had done a bone marrow transplant for her.
Yelena had no plans of telling Elspeth about her breakup, as she didn't want Elspeth to worry about
her, especially since Elspeth had a lot of things to handle on her end. I can't allow Elspeth to worry for
me anymore, Yelena thought.
…
Elspeth was in no hurry to tell Callum that Emma was alive. For some reason, Elspeth felt like she
would only cause more unnecessary trouble if she were to reveal this piece of information a little too
quickly. However, Elspeth did tell Callum about the boy. They didn't have much information on the
young boy himself—all they had were a few blurry pictures that they had taken sneakily.
These pictures weren't helpful in providing them with any more information. Even if there were more
clues, these clues weren't obvious clues that were easily spotted. Elspeth wasn't interested in such tiny
clues—she had sent the images to Lisa and told Lisa to dig around and figure out the identity of the
young boy.
Blake was rather displeased by this entire matter. He felt like Elspeth and Callum were taking up too
much of his wife's effort and time that she could've spent on him instead. F*ck off, Elspeth thought to
herself in response to Blake's opinions. Lisa was an extremely talented detective, and it only took her
three days to get to the bottom of the young boy's identity and background history.
Elspeth fell deep into her thoughts after looking at the results. This kid's name is Cameron, and he's
three-and-a-half years old this year. According to the information here, Cameron's mother is Joella
Henning, who happens to be Callum's university coursemate. They're even in the same course.
Coincidentally, Callum graduated four years ago…
Callum was rather stunned to look at all the pieces of information before him. "I do remember that girl,
Joella," he said. Elspeth knitted her brows as she listened to him. "Joella was one of the girls who had
shown interest in me back then. What was different was that she was a little more of a loner than the
rest of the girls. Most of the girls would be really passionate and friendly, while she simply came up to
me and stuffed a love letter into my hand," he uttered.
Callum told Elspeth that the reason he had remembered Joella so well was because of how creepy
Joella's love letter had sounded. "She had included all sorts of odd and abstract statements that didn't
sound like what a young girl would write about. I naturally thought of her as a weirdo after that," he
said. He couldn't remember the rest of the love letter, and he threw it away after he finished reading it.
Soon after that, Callum started dating another girl, and he never once accepted anything from Joella
again. They no longer interacted with one another after that. He had almost forgotten about her when
she reappeared in his life, and he felt rather confused by this entire situation. "Are you saying that the
love letter she gave you had sounded rather odd?" Elspeth asked. Love letters can be shy, passionate,
sentimental, or thoughtful, but to say that a love letter is odd… Elspeth quickly caught onto the keyword
that Callum had uttered.
"It's been a long time, but I briefly recall the descriptions that she had used in the letter. Most of them
were really despairing and puzzled. It felt like she was writing a memorial speech more than anything,"
he said. Elspeth felt her skin tingling upon hearing his words. That does sound pretty unconventional
and eerie, she thought. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"So, the fact that she showed up now with a kid who looks similar to you can't be a coincidence, can
it?" Elspeth asked.
Callum's gaze darkened at the thought. "If that's the case, then the situation might be worse than we
thought," he replied.
