Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 217

After hearing what I said, Camilla was stunned for a second, and I saw a glimmer in her eyes.

So, I hurriedly continued, "Anyway, summer vacation is long ahead. My mom lives on Oldtown Avenue.

There are quite a lot of kids there, but it's safe. My kids are there, too. Fidelia will love it. Let her and

her cousins run wild, and it's better than being alone.”

Camilla seemed tempted, looking up at me, cautiously asking, "Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”

“Come on, Camilla! Don’t be silly. There will be no trouble at all. The kids should be together!" I said

with a laugh, "My parents adore kids. They even look after the neighborhood kids, let alone our own!

They’ll take great care of her, and you can rest assured! Ask Fidelia if she wants to go. If she does, I’ll

drop her off in a few days and pick up Carl while I'm at it!”

“Carl is also there?” Camilla seemed surprised.

“Yeah! You know, with all that’s happened, I had to rush back here and couldn’t bring Carl with me.” I

said with a hint of meaning, laughing carelessly, revealing my sincerity.

Regardless, I have a soft spot for Camilla. She was so down-to-earth, living in the Dawson family like

an invisible woman, which was so sad. We were both daughters-in-laws, especially in the Dawson

family, we could feel one another's frustration. Who wouldn't feel stifled that way?

She seemed persuaded, looking at me with a humble smile, "Then... then thank you so much! I’ll ask

Fidelia’s opinion when I get home!"

"Great! Go ahead and ask! Give me a call when you’ve decided! As soon as I can get around, I’ll take

her there!” I promised enthusiastically, trying to ease Camilla's worries.

“Well... I, I don’t have your number!” She cautiously smiled at me, a sight that tugged at my

heartstrings.

I laughed, slapping my forehead, quickly pulling out my phone to share my contact. “Here. Please mark

my number.”

She hurriedly fished out her phone from her purse, adding my contact, her face lighting up as she

added me.

I nodded, quickly accepting her request. "Okay. There we go. Now we can be in touch anytime! We can

keep each other updated on things!”

Looking down, I noticed her purse was quite outdated, the edges all worn. To be honest, my heart

ached. Jerome, the jerk, had never treated Camilla right despite her unwavering loyalty.

Camilla was the only one who could grin and bear it. Anyone else in her shoes would've probably

caused a ruckus long ago.

After adding me, her smile grew even brighter, and she started to talk more, "My Fidelia's been feeling

pretty lonely. She's a bit introverted, I... I'm so worried about her, but I don't know what to do. I feel like

she and Monique could get along. It's just... they don’t get to see each other that often."

"No worries! Kids will get to know each other quickly. Given the right environment, I believe she'll come

out of her shell soon.” I reassured her, "So, we need to create a good environment for her and help her

become more outgoing. Kids adapt quickly! Let’s plan on that, then. Let me know once you’ve asked

her!"

I repeatedly reassured her, determined to lend her a hand whenever possible.

Camilla kept nodding, then hastily said her goodbyes. She had always been careful around me.

Honestly, my heart went out to her when I watched her leave in haste. She held no status in the

Dawson family neither in her own family. Even her husband didn't think much of her. I shook my head

and sighed, thinking what a big heart she had! She was indeed an extraordinary woman!

As she disappeared from my sight, Catherine abruptly pulled me aside. "Alright, enough with your

worries for her! It is her fate, a path she chose herself. So, whatever the outcome, she has to accept it.

Just as the saying goes that, everything happens for a reason!"

"You’re right!" I agreed. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Let's go! Back to your place?" She asked.

I hesitated, pulling her along. "I can’t just yet!"

Catherine looked at me puzzled. "Why can't you?”

“I still need to swing by the hospital room. I can’t just leave without checking on Janetta!" I suddenly

remembered this.

Catherine nodded. "Oh, right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten it! Okay, let's go!"

We turned on our heels and headed straight for Janetta's hospital room.

Catherine had been there before, so she knew the way. When we reached Janetta's room, we were

shocked by the scene inside.
