Chapter 278

After everyone had left, only Connor and Camila remained in the VIP hospital room’s lounge.

They sat together on the couch. There was a palpable tension hanging in the air. Camila pressed her lips tightly together, and her face still showed signs of worry and unease.

Connor understood her anxiety. He believed that sometimes, crying was the best way to release sorrow. If she let it out, she probably would feel better.

Connor moved closer to her, wrapping his arms around her, inviting her to lean on his shoulder.

“Just cry,” he whispered.

“Everything will be okay,” he murmured as if whispering to her dreams.

“Mom!” Camila suddenly woke up, sitting bolt upright in bed. Her face was stricken with panic.

Connor held her close. whispering in her ear, “Don’t be afraid. I'm here. You don't have to be scared.

Gradually, under Connor's comfort, Camila's emotions stabilized, and she nestled against him.

Camila shook her head.

“How about we get something to eat then?” Connor suggested
