Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 40

“Your mother has woken up.” Camila instantly brightened. “Really?”

“Yes, | was just about to call you. Now, go and sit with her.” “Thank you.”

Her mother had been transferred to a general ward after the surgery. Camila hesitated by the door and just looked at her conscious mother. She took a moment to calm herself before walking into the room.

“Mom. .

She tried to smile, but her emotions got the better of her, and tears streamed down her cheeks. “Mila,” Rowena called out in a weak voice as she reached for her daughter.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Camila rushed to her bedside and took her hand.

To be able to talk to her mother again was one of the most gratifying moments of her life.

“I'm sorry, Mila...”

ALL along, Rowena had known just how grave her condition was. Since she had gone through surgery and was now recuperating, she figured that Camila had married into the Johnston family as demanded by Marvin.

Otherwise, Camila wouldn't have been able to fund her treatment. Rowena’s eyes turned red. “Oh, | would have rather died than to make you sacrifice yourself.”

Camila tightened her grip around her mother’s hand. “Mom. How do you expect me to carry on if you are not here?”

Rowena had suffered a difficult Labor when she gave birth to Camila. As a result, her body grew weak, and the doctor had informed them that she wouldn’t be able to conceive another baby. If it hadn’t been for that, Marvin would have probably never strayed from their marriage.

“How... How are you doing in the Johnston family?” Rowena gazed at her daughter intently, her apprehensions evident in her voice.

Considering their family’s circumstances, she feared that the Johnston family weren’t treating Camila well.

Camila mustered a smile. “I’m fine, Mom. Grandpa and... Grandpa and Isaac are both good to me. Don’t worry and just think about your recovery. You need to get plenty of rest.”

Camila put up a brave front and pretended that nothing was wrong. Thankfully, Rowena nodded and let her guard down. She looked exhausted and was already dozing off.

Camila stayed with her mother until she fell asleep.

It was already dark when she came outside.

It was a balmy evening, but Camila felt cold. Her problems weren't over yet.

Specifically, she still had to face Isaac.

She couldn't hide from him forever. She made up her mind and took out her phone. Camila was willing to do whatever he wanted to ask of her, if it meant that she could keep her job.
