Chapter 66 Gideon’s Hospitalization
As soon as Maxwell stepped out of the villa gate, he called Pawel. Maxwell told Pawel not to investigate last night’s incident anymore and to take care of all the recorded videos along the way, ensuring that the police wouldn’t be able to trace the car.
After Maxwell left, Svetla collapsed on the couch. Just a moment ago, she felt like she had been seen through.
She really wanted to tell Maxwell that she did all this because she loved him and didn’t want to lose him…
Camila took a leave from the company and worked from
home.
During the day, Camila took care of Pawel and Hudson, and at night she gave live lectures. As Camila’s popularity grew, the number of people attending her live sessions for learning and consultation also increased, and every session was packed.
And Maxwell also suddenly became busy, often working overtime and not returning until late.
It has been a week like this.
The police couldn’t find any information at all. It seemed like all the clues had suddenly disappeared overnight, so the matter of Hudson being kidnapped had to be temporarily put on hold.
Camila also doubted Svetla in the past. However, without any exidence, she had no way to do anything about Svetla.

At noon, Camila accompanied Gideon to sunbathe in the yard, while Maxwell sat nearby reading a book.
As Svetla entered the courtyard, she saw this heartwarming
scene.
Her fingers slowly closed around the bag, and the prepared expression on her face also stiffened.
Camila was the first one to see her.
“Ms. Felton came?” Camila stood up.
Gideon remained still, but his gaze slowly turned cold.
Maxwell also stood up.
“You didn’t even give me a heads-up before coming over, so I could have gone to pick you up.”
“I’m not unfamiliar with the way. Don’t forget, I have been living here for over ten years.”
Then, Svetla walked up to Gideon. “Mr. Starling, long time no see. How have you been?”
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine,” Gideon said coldly.
“Camila, give Svetla a chair,” Maxwell said.
Camila agreed and was about to go get it when she was stopped by Gideon.
“Camila, I am tired, please take me back to my room.”

“Gideon, why do you get tired as soon as I arrive?” Svetla came today to discuss the past events in front of Maxwell.
“I remember you were a very polite girl back then. How come you have regressed so much after five years of not seeing each other?”
“Sorry, Gideon. I have always been polite to respected elders, but that doesn’t include you,” Svetla said rudely.
“Svetla, how dare you speak to my grandfather?” Maxwell’s face turned cold.
“Why don’t you ask how he treated me back then? It was him who forced me to leave you and cut off all contact between us. Do you know how I’ve been living these past five years? I’ve been crying every day, and all I can think about is death.”
Svetla rolled up her sleeves, revealing the various scars on her wrists. “Did you see them? These are all thanks to him!”
Maxwell had a pained expression in his eyes as he looked at Gideon. “Grandfather, is what she said true?”
Gideon nodded expressionlessly. “She’s right. It was me who forced her to get on the plane back then, and deliberately cut off the contact between you two.”
“Why did you do this?” Maxwell appeared somewhat agitated.
“I did it all for your own good,” Gideon coughed violently.
Camila hurriedly went to pour water for Gideon.
When Camila came out, she saw Gideon drooling from the corners of his mouth and convulsing all over, which was quite frightening.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?” Maxwell also panicked.
“Hurry, call an ambulance,” Camila quickly instructed Larissa to dial the emergency number.
The ambulance arrived quickly.
Gideon was lifted into the ambulance, and Maxwell and Camila, as family members, also got on the vehicle.
Svetla stood blankly at the entrance, the ambulance drove far away, and she didn’t recover her senses.
“Svetla, what’s wrong with you?” Larissa walked over and waved her finger in front of her eyes.
Svetla snapped out of it, intending to turn the tables for herself today, but she didn’t expect Gideon to suddenly show symptoms of a stroke.
In the ambulance, Maxwell held his forehead with both hands, sinking into deep worry and self-blame.
Camila patted his shoulder. She comforted, “Grandpa will be fine, don’t worry too much.”
Maxwell looked up, his eyes slightly red. “I shouldn’t have spoken to Grandpa like that, it was all my fault.”
“You also couldn’t control your emotions for a moment. Grandfather will be fine, don’t blame yourself.”
“Hopefully, if anything happened to my grandfather, I wouldn’t forgive myself.”
After entering the hospital, Gideon underwent a medical consultation and was diagnosed with a stroke. There was no

immediate danger to his life, but he temporarily lost his ability to speak and take care of himself.
“Let me take care of Grandpa.” Svetla appeared at the door of the hospital room. “The misfortune was caused by me, so let me serve Grandpa as a way to atone.”
“Why did you come too?” Maxwell walked out of the ward and saw Svetla with tears on her face, slightly moved.
Camila didn’t pay attention to what the two people were saying in the hallway because she had just noticed that Gideon’s hand had moved.
She took Gideon’s hand and found that he was holding a business card, with a name written on it along with a series of phone numbers.
Looking at Gideon, he kept winking at Camila.
“Did you want me to contact this person?”
“Uh uh uh…” Gideon nodded incessantly.
At this moment, Maxwell and Svetla walked in. Both of them seemed to have cried, especially Svetla, whose eyes were swollen from crying.
“Camila, you go back, leave it to Svetla, she can take care of grandfather well.”
Camila was not very willing to hand Gideon over to Svetla. But Maxwell spoke up, and she had no choice.
Camila explained a few points of the doctor’s instructions and then left the ward, clutching the business card given by Gideon.

When she got home, she first went to Hudson’s room and found that his complexion wasn’t very good.
“What’s wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
Hudson showed Camila a strange text message from his phone.
“Don’t show up at the hospital again. Otherwise, be careful of your brother’s other leg.”
That phone number belonged to the same person who sent a message to Camila last time.
“Hudson, think carefully again, what did the person who kidnapped you that night look like?”
“He had a mole on the left side of his chin, appearing to be in his forties with an accent. He was relatively short in stature, but had great strength.”
Camila felt that this person must be related to Svetla. Because Camila had just returned from the hospital when she received such a threatening text message.
That night, Maxwell came back very late.
Camila wanted to know about Gideon’s situation. She heard some noise and went to knock on the study door, but she heard Maxwell’s impatient voice.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow, I’m tired.”
Camila had to reluctantly return to her room. She took out the ring that Maxwell had given her from the drawer, and it was truly beautiful.
However, when something loses the meaning it was given, it becomes just an object.
