Chapter 280
When Camila noticed the bags under Connor's eyes and the stubble on his chin. her heart tightened involuntarily. Last night. he had stayed by her bedside, hardly closing his eyes, so seeing him like this both moved and pained her.
“You should get some rest,” she softly told Connor.
Connor slightly shook his head. “I’m fine, not tired.” His voice was slightly raspy.
Camila sighed lightly, frowning, “Don't play the tough guy. Look at yourself. You're worn out.”
“Worn out?” Connor instinctively touched his face, then immediately checked his reflection in the glass
“A bit rough-looking,” Camila managed to keep a straight face as she spoke.
Connor stiffened. “Are you kidding? Cole, come on, back me up here.”
Cole, observing their exchange, turned his face away, chuckling softly, choosing not to interfere in their playful banter.
“You better go rest, or you might actually start looking rough,” Camila said with a playful gleam in her eyes.
Connor was about to respond when a distant voice interrupted him.
“Cami...” Erica approached with a cry in her voice, running from afar. Logan, carrying bags big and small, followed her like a loyal assistant. When Erica reached Camila, she hugged her tightly. “You didn't even tell me your mom was hospitalized!” Her voice was full of reproach and concern. Camila gently patted her back, soothingly saying, “You were working abroad, so I didn't want to worry you.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Logan quietly came over, set down the bags, and clapped Connor on the shoulder, giving him a look of silent support and encouragement. ‘I’m upset, really upset.” Erica continued to hug Camila, pouting.
‘I'm sorry,” Camila apologized.
Erica snorted softly, then let go. "How is your mom doing?
Camila exhaled softly. Her tone was slightly reassuring. “She's past the critical phase now. much more stable.”

She glanced at Connor with . gratitude e@"Mr. Connor, thank youfor finding the doctor for her, and for taking care of Cami.” Content >"
Connor smiled faintly, nodding in acknowledgment. “It’s the least I could do.”
“With Erica here, you can rest easy.” Camila turned to Connor, her voice tender.
She then looked at Logan. “Mr. Logan, could you please take him to rest? He hasn't slept all night.”
Logan nodded, stepping forward and clapping Connor on the shoulder. “Come on, let's get some rest.” Connor looked at Camila, hesitating for a moment.
Finally, he nodded, “Alright, I'll rest for a bit. But you have to promise me, eat well and take care of yourself.” “I will,” Camila responded.
“Erica, please take good care of her,” Connor said to Erica.
Erica gave a thumbs-up.
After Connor and Logan left, Erica . pulled Camila to sit down, saying,~ ‘It’s good that Connor was here. He's really reliable.” _
Camila nodded in agreement. “Yes, without him, mom and I really might not have made it.
“With such a good son-in-law, your mom is sure to be fine,” Erica stated firmly.
