Pedro immediately turned around when the door to his apartment behind him opened. After that, he fell silent for a moment, for some reason, as if transfixed by the appearance of a woman that even made him freeze for a while. The dress he had previously chosen turned out to fit Camila perfectly. Her petite figure wrapped in the simple yet elegant dress made Pedro feel as if he were praising himself for his ability to choose a dress for Camila. But it wasn't just that that kept Pedro silent. One reason was when he saw the subtle makeup on Camila's face, adding a blush to both sides, making Camila look even more enchanting in Pedro's eyes, until Camila's voice made Pedro blink a few times to snap out of it."I'm ready, shall we go now?" Camila asked, making Pedro nod."Of course," Pedro replied. After that, without a word, Pedro walked ahead of Camila, while Camila felt nervous as she slowly followed Pedro's steps into the elevator, making the awkward atmosphere between them even more pa
Pedro and Camila remained silent for a while, enjoying the evening party, until Pedro finally looked at Camila, who had been quiet for some time."Are you feeling bored?" Pedro asked, making Camila just purse her lips. Camila didn't dare to say that she was really bored at the moment, but she remained silent because she didn't want to discomfort Pedro. However, it seemed that Pedro noticed Camila's gestures, as he now got up from his seat. Then, he reached out his hand and took Camila's wrist."Where are we going?" Camila asked, as they couldn't possibly leave the party right away since they had just arrived a few minutes ago."To somewhere with fewer people. I know you must be feeling crowded, right?" Pedro said, making Camila finally fall silent, following Pedro's steps that led them to a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden illuminated by several pretty lights. There was no one else on the balcony, just them, making Camila finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because what Ped
Camila blinked a little as Pedro still didn't seem to move away from her, even though he had successfully released the stuck seatbelt. This made Camila even hold her breath for a moment. For some reason, the atmosphere around them suddenly became very warm, making Camila unable to speak, while Pedro was captivated by Camila's beautiful face, her small nose, full lips, and her eyes that always seemed to sparkle, unconsciously bringing his face closer until Camila felt their noses touching.The next moment, Camila could feel their lips merging into a kiss, making her heart beat faster, even feeling like her heart might leap out of her chest at any moment, especially when Pedro started to move his lips, gently sucking on her bottom lip, causing Camila to reflexively grip Pedro's shoulder, feeling the rush of every heartbeat that made her body tremble.Likewise, Pedro reached out his hand to cup the back of Camila's neck to deepen their kiss. They shared several more kisses until Pedro st
Camila writhed from her sleep as she felt something painful in her stomach, prompting her to immediately get out of bed. However, she was shocked to feel that her bed was slightly damp. It turned out Camila was getting her period. This prompted her to get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom to clean herself and change her bedsheet.Camila walked over to the bedside, grabbed a calendar, and marked it as she always did for each menstrual cycle. Her goal was to keep track of the interval between the previous month and the coming month. Camila then lay back down. However, for some reason, she couldn't close her eyes. Her stomach felt excruciatingly painful, even though she had experienced it quite often before. But tonight, it felt particularly intense. Camila tried to sit back up. It seemed she needed medicine to alleviate the pain. However, for some reason, Camila couldn't find it."I seem to have forgotten to buy it," murmured Camila, walking slightly bent over to ease the pain. S
Pedro immediately took Camila to the obstetrician-gynecologist to have her condition checked, even though Camila had been refusing before. But there was no other way but to comply with the insistent man beside her, who kept hugging her tightly. Meanwhile, Camila could only lean her head on Pedro's shoulder because the pain she felt truly made her feel very dizzy.A nurse called her name, prompting Pedro to help Camila enter the room and sit her down in a chair facing the doctor."You can lie down there right away, I'll examine you," the doctor said, making Pedro assist Camila to lie down so the doctor could examine her immediately. Pedro waited anxiously. It felt like a long time, causing Pedro to glance at the examination room several times, until finally waiting for a few minutes for the doctor to come out with Camila, who still had a pale face."How is it, doc?" Pedro asked, making the doctor, who was writing a prescription, occasionally glance at Camila."Do you experience this mu
Pedro walked slowly to Camila's hospital room, seeing her still sound asleep with the IV tube now attached to her wrist. After that, he pulled the chair beside the bed and sat down, gazing at Camila's pale face. Although not as pale as before, Pedro somehow still remembered how he first saw Camila stumbling on the sidewalk.Initially, Pedro was going to visit Leo to report on some work that couldn't be discussed over the phone. However, on the way, Pedro suddenly saw a very familiar woman. At first, Pedro doubted it was Camila, but as he approached, it turned out to be her, especially when he saw Camila about to fall, prompting Pedro to quickly get out of the car and run towards her, catching Camila's trembling body. Seeing her very pale face made Pedro's heart tighten. Of course, he couldn't just stand by and watch the woman who was now close to him like that. Pedro immediately took Camila to the hospital, and here they were.Pedro then reached out, gently touching Camila's forehead,
Camila then pulled away, releasing their lips, before she realized what she had just done. Camila felt like she had been slapped by reality. She had completely realized what she had just done. She had just kissed Pedro so casually, making the man in front of her even silent, looking at her with raised eyebrows."I really have been too bold," Camila thought, cursing herself. Reading Camila's embarrassment, she finally lowered her face, feeling very embarrassed in front of Pedro."Forgive me," Camila whispered, about to move away from Pedro, but suddenly Pedro reached out his hand and held Camila's nape, making Camila blink her eyes several times."Why do you have to apologize?" Pedro asked, making Pedro approach again with their very close distance, their noses almost touching."Sorry, for being so bold with you," Camila replied again, lacking the courage to return Pedro's scrutinizing gaze. Somehow, although Camila felt uncomfortable, Pedro liked her expression just now, Camila really
Pedro looked towards Camila, whose attitude suddenly changed drastically, distancing herself, making Pedro unsure if his answer was wrong."You should just go home. I'll be fine at the hospital alone. Besides, the surgery is still scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Didn't you say you have a lot of work?" Camila said, subtly dismissing Pedro, making Pedro sigh deeply.Camila was about to turn around to go back to resting her body, but Pedro immediately pulled her shoulder, then hugged her tightly."Can you hear my heartbeat?" Pedro asked, making Camila silent, then feeling what Pedro said. His heartbeat. Pedro's heartbeat beat in sync with theirs, beating very fast, the same as what Camila was feeling right now. Camila only knew that Pedro was also pounding like she felt."Do you know why this heart is beating so fast?" Pedro asked again, making Camila silent."Can you help answer it? Because I'm not good at putting words together to convince a woman," Pedro said, still in the posit
