Camilla's POV

I 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.

The phone barely rang twice before his teacher, Ms. Adams answered her phone, her voice laced with urgency.

“Hello, Ms. Wesley?”

“Yes, this is Jason's mother. What happened? Is Jason okay?” my heart raced as my grip on my phone became tighter, and my heart pounded like a war drum.

“There was a little accident in school,” she explained quickly. “Jason fell down while playing

And seeing Daniel and his mother desperately try so hard to sneak back into my life and my son's was too hard to bear. They lost their right over my life when they sent me packing.

    Daniel'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

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

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.

    Daniel's POVThe cool morning air of the hospital hit me as I sat on my bed in my VIP room. My gaze was fixed on the door as I impatiently waited for Camilla to come around for her doctor rounds and check up on me.I had expected her to check back on me yesterday, but I was told she had gone home. It turned out that Camilla had been on duty for the three days that I was unconscious, and she's been taking care of me. That thought alone felt strangely satisfying. I wonder if it was the same Camilla that had sent me away from coming close to Jason that did that. What was in her mind all through the three days? I thought.She even responded and spoke calmly to me without fighting with me or speaking harshly to me. She acted professionally. It made me believe that maybe, that is the answer that I needed to be Jason's father. She will definitely allow me without having to fight over it.

    Camilla’s POV“You are Fired.” These are the three words my supervisor told me as I entered her office this morning.My breath caught in my throat, I stood there shocked, staring at the letter she threw at me.Fired? How?“I'm sorry, ma’am, please, I am just ten minutes late. The traffic was unbearable…..” I tried explaining but she cut me off sharply.“Enough! You are always making excuses, Camilla. The CEO approves of this because he's tired of hearing different complaints from you every time you are rebuked, so get out.” I tried begging her again, but It seemed pointless trying to explain myself because she was not listening. Besides, hearing her mention the CEO got me even more upset. Without another word, I turned and walked out of her office, my heart pounded with anger and disbelief. I can’t think straight, not after the morning I was having, not after receiving a video of my husband having sex with an unknown woman. I’ve been hearing rumors that my husband has been dating

    Daniel's POVI returned back to my VIP room, holding onto Camilla’s words like a lifeline. She had promised to come, and if there was one thing I still know very well about her, it was that she always kept to her word no matter what. After my conversation with Damien at the bar the night before, I had made the decision to bring myself down from my high horse to win Camilla and Jason back to me. And I thought getting her to treat me would be the best. Interacting with her during the consultation and treatment will be a great start for us; it will give me a chance to break the ice she had built around herself and remind her of what she once had for me.It's been over thirty minutes since I left Camilla's office and she hasn't come. Each second stretches longer than the last one as I expect her. Then finally, the door to my suite opened. I straightened myself, anticipation coursing through my veins, but it turned into disappointment immediately as all I could see was Frank, whose fig
