A One Night Stand With My Boss (Camilla) novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37

Erica jumped up when she heard Brody’s voice, anxiety written all over her face. “Brody, stay safe. I will be right there.”

“What happened?” Camila asked.

“That jerk hit Lily again!” Erica’s eyes blazed with fury.

“Let’s go. We need to hurry.” Camila took off her apron.

“Claire, we have to go now. We’ll come over another day,” Erica said to Claire with urgency.

“Be safe!” Claire called out as they rushed to the car.

Once in the car, Camila immediately called the police. When they arrived at Lily’s house, nosy neighbors were gathered around the door, whispering and pointing.

They pushed their way through. The police were already on the scene. Broken dishes and food scraps littered the floor. Lily was curled up in a comer, holding her son, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

“Aunt Erica, Aunt Camila…” Brody’s eyes were red, his face streaked with tears.

As Lily looked up and saw them, a flicker of hope shone in her eyes.

Julian’s parents showed up. Julian’s mom, clearly impatient, kicked away some food scraps and said, “Couples always argue? Calling the police over such a trivial matter, how thoughtless.”

The police officer glared at her, and she fell silent.

“What happened here?” the officer asked.

Julian stood up from the couch, agitated, “I didn’t hit her. I just flipped the table, and it might have accidentally hit her.”

“Sir, please calm down. We’re investigating,” the officer instructed him to sit.
