Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 34

“Of course. You may go.”

After what had just happened, Isaac would probably not let her step into his room, anyway.

Robin sighed at the thought.

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Camila whispered with immense gratitude.

Robin nodded and called for the butler, who was stationed outside the door. “Stevie, arrange for someone to drive Camila.” “Young Madam, please come with me,” Stevie said kindly.

Camila offered a sincere bow to Robin before following the butler out. Camila was still reeling from the events as she sat in the car on the way to the hospital.

Everything had happened so fast. It didn’t feel real to her just yet. But when she arrived at the hospital, it all finally sank in. Robin had kept his word.

Her mother was already being prepped for surgery.

The operation took the entire night, but it was successful. Even so, her mother was still under observation, and it would take her a while to fully recover.

Camila watched her mother through the glass window, a huge wave of relief washing over her. At last, her mother had escaped the clutches of death.

Camila didn’t get a wink of sleep and headed straight to her department for work. “Dr. Haynes,” she heard her name being called. She turned and saw a nurse who was working shifts in the same department.

“You left early yesterday, so you managed to escape Dr. Griffith's self-righteous speech,” the nurse remarked. “She must have some pretty strong connections.”

Camila simply lowered her head and refrained from commenting. “| personally think that she pales in comparison to you, Dr. Haynes. How did she ever manage to charm Isaac Johnston?”

The nurse seemed fully invested in this piece of gossip, but Camila wanted no part of it. “Dr. Griffith is a beautiful woman. Since Isaac Johnston fancies her, he must see something in her that we don't. It’s not appropriate to speculate about her personal affairs and talk behind her back.”

But the nurse wasn’t ready to let the matter go just yet. “In any case, she obviously planned her so-called farewell party to show off. Everyone knows that the internship should have been yours—”

“Excuse me, I’m needed somewhere else,” Camilla interrupted before the other woman could say anything more.

She couldn’t Let such words go around the workplace, or it would cause even more trouble.

Thankfully, the nurse seemed to finally understand that Camila didn’t want to talk about the subject, and prudently held her tongue. The hospital was busiest in the mornings, and patients were already lining up at the registration window.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

They said their goodbyes, and Camila and the nurse parted ways.

Camila had to conduct two surgeries in the morning. She napped for a couple of hours before making her way to the operating room. Given that she had barely slept the previous night, Camila was exhausted by the end of the second surgery. She planned to get another nap during lunchtime, but she was unexpectedly called to the director's office.

“What's the matter?” Camila asked the nurse who had come to notify her. Unless it was an emergency, she would much prefer to go there after her nap.
