Chapter 104 I’m Tired
Svetla knew how to swim, and at that moment, she was thinking of swimming to the shore by herself. However, she happened to see Maxwell rushing towards her, so she pretended to be drowning and called for Maxwell to save her.
At the same time, while Maxwell was hugging Svetla, she blocked Camila with her body and said that Camila might have already gone home by herself.
Maxwell also found out that everyone who fell into the water at the scene had been rescued. Maxwell thought that he had been overly worried and that Camila had probably gone home, as Svetla had said.
In the late night, Maxwell went back to the hotel directly, thinking that when it was dawn, he would give Camila a call to ask about the situation.
Camila suffered from severe drowning and the next day her lungs became inflamed, causing her to have a fever.
In a daze, Camila saw Dewitt standing by her bed, talking to a doctor.
“Did you come?” Camila weakly spoke.
Dewitt quickly bent down and held Camila’s hand. “You contracted pneumonia, but it wasn’t very severe. Don’t be afraid, I’m here for you.”
Camila nodded, her eyes becoming slightly moist.

“What do you want to eat? Shall I go and get it for you?” Dewitt asked softly.
“I didn’t want to eat anything.”
“Then let me arrange it for you.” Dewitt asked the nurse to prepare breakfast for Camila.
At this moment, Felicity walked in.
“Did Dr. Booker come?”
“What happened last night? How did Camila end up falling into the water?” Dewitt’s tone carried a hint of blame, after all, it was only at Felicity’s birthday party that Camila fell into the
water.
Felicity also felt guilty.
“At that time, everyone was watching the fireworks, and it seemed like someone fell behind. People started rushing forward, and some of the people in the front ended up falling into the water.”
“Fortunately, everyone is fine. You have been busy all night, so you should go back and rest. I can take care of things here.” Dewitt didn’t blame Felicity verbally, but his attitude was not very friendly.
Felicity didn’t say anything either. She was also tired, and it was hardest for her to experience such a thing at her birthday party.
“It’s not Felicity’s business, and she doesn’t want to see something like this happen,” Camila said hoarsely.
Maxwell only found Camila’s ward in the afternoon.
Maxwell couldn’t reach Camila’s phone all the time and couldn’t find her at home or her workplace. It was then that he realized the seriousness of the situation.
Finally, Maxwell asked the people of the Foster family and found out that Camila was in this hospital.
When Maxwell rushed into the ward, Dewitt was feeding Camila porridge.
The moment Camila saw Maxwell, the image of him holding Svetla last night flashed in her mind.
Camila was right in front of Maxwell, but he ignored her.
“Why didn’t you answer the phone?” Maxwell walked over.
“My phone broke,” Camila said calmly, showing no emotion.
“Then you could have someone notify me.”
“Did you receive a notification to come and see if I died?” Camila turned away, not wanting to look at Maxwell any longer.
Maxwell’s face changed.
To Dewitt, he said, “Could you please go out for a moment?”
Dewitt put down his bowl of porridge and walked out. However, he didn’t go far and stood at the doorway, listening to the sounds inside the room.
Maxwell picked up the bowl of porridge and sat in Dewitt’s previous seat, feeding a spoonful of porridge to Camila.
“I am full.” Camila pushed it casually, Maxwell didn’t hold it

steady, and the bowl of porridge fell to the ground.
Maxwell restrained himself from getting angry and patiently explained, “I didn’t know you also fell into the water
yesterday. Svetla said you might have gone home, so I thought of calling you this morning…”
“Svetla, Svetla, it’s only Svetla in your eyes!” Camila finally burst out, “Go find your Svetla, I don’t need you here.”
“I’m sorry, I have disappointed you,” Maxwell took two steps back, his eyes revealing a hurt expression.
“Maxwell, for the remaining four months, I hope we can coexist peacefully. You can continue sleeping in your study. Don’t worry, I will find a way to repay you the money I owe you, including the money my brother spent in Louiswick.”
“Is it just because I didn’t save you from the water last night?” Maxwell couldn’t understand why Camila still refused to forgive him, even though he had tried his best to explain.
“No.”
“What was that?”
“It was because I was tired, I didn’t want to waste my emotions on someone who wasn’t worth it.”
“Am I the one who is not worthy?” Maxwell could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
“Since that’s the case, then it’s up to you.”
Maxwell kicked open the door of the ward, startling Dewitt who was standing at the doorway.

Dewitt rushed in to see Camila.
“Are you okay?”
“I wanted to be alone for a while,” Camila curled up in bed, wrapped in a blanket, feeling very confused at the moment.
Dewitt saw that she was fine and said he would come to see her later in the evening.
When Dewitt came in the evening, Camila had already been discharged from the hospital.
Camila returned to her house, thinking about her future plans.
At that moment, a knocking sound came from outside the door.
Camila opened the door in confusion and saw a man who -looked exactly like Peter standing at the doorstep.
“Are you Mr. Conner?” Camila was not quite sure.
“I am Peter’s brother, and my name is Alan,” Alan walked in self–consciously. “You dare to open the door for me alone, aren’t you afraid that I am a bad person?”
“Do you have something to talk to me about?” Camila felt like she had seen this person at the birthday party yesterday.
“I was hungry,” Alan plopped down on the sofa in the living room. “Get me something to eat, anything will do.”
“Are you really Mr. Conner’s brother?” Camila felt that this person was too familiar, how could Peter have such a brother?
“Yes,” Alan lit a cigarette, “Can I smoke?”

Camila handed Alan a paper cup and said, “Don’t let the ash fall on the ground.”
Alan laughed. It was an indulgent laugh.
“I have a younger sister who is about the same age as you, so why don’t you become my sister in the future?”
“What don’t you eat?” Camila took out ingredients from the refrigerator, intending to cook some pasta for Alan.
“No, I wasn’t picky.”
Soon, Camila cooked a plate of pasta and placed it in front of Alan.
Alan ate heartily and praised Camila’s cooking skills.
“Did you come to me just to eat pasta?” Camila asked.
“I saw your photo online, and you look a lot like my sister. Last night, I also saw you, and it was me who pulled you out of the water, so I feel like we have some kind of connection.”
“Last night, it was you who saved me?” Camila felt a faint impression.
“Yeah, that’s why I came today specifically to mooch pasta from you,” Alan chuckled.
Alan’s teeth were very white, and he smiled brightly. However, what Camila didn’t know was that Alan hadn’t smiled for
many years.
“Did you save my life just to eat a plate of pasta?” Camila always felt strange about it, but she didn’t know what was odd.
