Chapter: Chapter 19Camilla's POVAfter three exhausting days, I finally left the Open Medical Group hospital for my home, the Wesley mansion. The weight of watching over Daniel at the hospital, with my responsibilities at the center, had drained me completely. I had taken the rest of the evening off after leaving Daniel's room earlier because I was eager to see Jason, I was dying to hold him in my arms again. I had missed his goofy antics and terrible jokes more than I cared to admit. The house was filled with activities as I entered. The air was filled with the aroma of freshly prepared food, which blended with the gentle sound of the maids talking and moving around. The house felt warm and alive, compared to the sterile silence of the hospital where I was coming from. My mother, Lady Wesley, was gracefully seated in the living room, watching the evening news. Jason was also curled up on a small couch, completely absorbed in arranging his block puzzle.I paused at the entrance, watching as my mothe

Chapter: Chapter 18Daniel's POVA dull ache throbbed in my head, pulling me from my unconsciousness. My body felt heavy as if I had chains all over my body. My eyes opened, and I blinked at the harsh sunlight coming from the window. The smell of antiseptics filled my nose, making me turn my head slightly to the side and see that I was at the hospital.I saw a figure standing beside me and blinked to see Camilla. I stared at her, and all I could see was that her eyes were filled with emotions I couldn't quite place, but she looked worried and concerned. I felt my heart tighten to it. “Daniel!” she called softly, leaning towards me. “Can you recognize me?.” her voice was calm and I nodded my head slightly in response. I tried lifting my hand, but my body refused to cooperate. She noticed my struggle and quickly raised her hand to stop me. “Don't push yourself,” she whispered. “How are you feeling?” she asked, her gaze searching mine. I blinked continously, still trying to piece together what was h

Chapter: chapter 17Camilla's POVMy breath caught as I watched how Daniel collapsed and hit the ground. For a moment, I froze because I had lost my reasoning. This isn't happening. But the day his face twisted in pain and the way his body was shaking before he didn't move again told me it was the reality.Panic gripped me as memories of the past flashed through me.I had once lost a patient due to carelessness during my housemanship, and I still think about it everyday. The thought made me dread that Daniel could die also due to my negligence. I had totally forgotten that he was a patient I had just admitted to the hospital, and I continued to argue with him and stress his already weak heart. It wasn't entirely my fault, though.I was so engrossed in our argument, and his stubbornness in wanting Jason and his mother's attitude had also made me forget that he wasn't feeling fine.I felt bad about letting my feelings control me and ignoring my oath to uphold and my responsibility to my patients as a do

Chapter: chapter 16Daniel's POV I entered Jason's school and saw my mother standing at the entrance, looking at a Brown color Rolls Royce parked in the compound without shifting her gaze. I immediately sensed that it was probably Camilla she was looking at. I peeped at the car and it was indeed Camilla. I saw when she left the hospital the previous day, so I knew it was her car. I took the initiative and quickly parked my car in front of hers, just to prevent her from escaping me.It's better to settle the case whenever we fight so it won't lead to grudges.I knew full well that my mother had been expecting me to give her a grandchild for years, but seeing a child who looks like me and claiming the child as her grandson because he resembles me is what I never imagined she could do. I didn't know she was as desperate as that. As soon as she ended the call earlier, I sensed that she was probably at Jason's school, so I had to rush down here to stop her from doing something that could cause problems

Chapter: Chapter 15Camilla's POVSeeing my ex-mother-in-law together with my son and witnessing my son enjoying their conversation made me angry. How can he become so free with her even after meeting her for the first time? How can they easily connect as if they've known each other for years? Ms. Adams didn't explain that someone was there with Jason when I called, so I was puzzled. And I wonder what my manipulative mother-in-law told Jason to make him smile like that when I entered.

Chapter: Chapter 14Camilla's POVI had just returned to my office after my round of consultations when I saw that Jason's class teacher had called thrice.My heart skipped a beat.What is going on? Why is she calling me?I had just registered Jason in the new school today, so what could be wrong?Did I forget to pack his lunch? Was he sick? Did someone bully him? Different questions filled my head as I struggled to dial her number back; my hands trembled with worry. I had ensured he wouldn't have any problem in the school before registering him there and had specifically told his teacher to call me anytime if anything happened.
