Chapter 258 I’ll Always Be Waiting For You

“It’s fine. I only eat them occasionally.” “You call that occasionally?” George was like a parent who couldn’t stop nagging. Camila’s eyes flashed slyly. “Do you want to drink some wine?” She had to change the topic. Sure enough, he took the bait. “Sure! It’s been so long since we last drank something together.” She walked to the cabinet to bring out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for him. Then, she filled her own glass as well. “Here’s a toast to you, George. You’re so far away yet you specially came for us.”

He smiled. “Why are you so polite with me?”

Camila giggled. “It shows that I have manners and that I’m not an ungrateful person.” George laughed out loud upon hearing that. Both of them drank glasses after glasses of wine while South chatted with Silas on the tablet computer after having finished his food. South wrote, ‘They are eating and drinking now! Silas replied, ‘Is George’s liquor tolerance good? South’s little fingers tapped away skillfully on the screen. ‘He’s average. Even if there are three of him, they are no match for Mommy, but he likes to drink with her. Silas responded, ‘Why?” South’s eyes rolled slyly. If you make a tasty breakfast for me tomorrow morning, I’ll tell you one secret about Mommy! Silas replied, ‘No problem. What do you want?

South wrote, “Spicy lobster. I want to have it for dinner tonight, but mommy doesn’t allow it.’

Silas typed, ‘Do you still want to eat it now? I can cook for you! South replied, ‘It’s alright. I’m already full.

Silas suggested, ‘If you want to eat anything next time, just tell me directly! South replied, ‘There’s a bad woman who came to pick a fight with Mommy today, but she has already settled it! Silas replied, ‘I know.

I will teach her a lesson! South suddenly changed the topic. ‘Let me give you a present.

Silas asked, ‘What present?’ South answered, ‘Mommy said that she’s going to give you a test and that she doesn’t like Mr. George. How’s that? It’s a good present, right?’ Silas replied, ‘It is. I’ll make you an extra large portion tomorrow!’

Both the father and son were happily chatting while the atmosphere between the two adults in the living room grew warmer. However, George was already drunk. His eyes were glassy when he continuously smiled at Camila. “It has only been three months since I last saw you, but it feels like three years to me.

Are you planning not to return there?”

Camila put down her wine glass. “Yes. This is my hometown, so I will have to return here, no matter what. Why don’t you return as well?” He took a deep breath. “I would love to stay here to accompany you guys too, but the clinic doesn’t allow me to do so. After you resign, our main doctor is always absent. If I leave, the clinic will definitely close down. Your juniors aren’t as intelligent as you. Now, all the terminally ill patients are dependent on me.” She advised, “You can’t save all of them. When it’s time to rest, you have to rest. Your health is also important. What if you are so tired that you fall ill?” George smiled bitterly. “I’m all alone. It’s enough for me to feed myself, but saving a patient is equivalent to saving an entire family.” Camila gave him a thumbs up. “You are indeed very respectable, George. However, you need to remember that you are not alone. If you fall ill, we will be worried too.” His eyes suddenly brightened as he looked at her with passion. “Camila, I know you have been hurt, so you don’t trust men.

I won’t force you; in fact, I’m willing to wait for you. My stance remains the same-if you are tired one day or if you feel safe with me, I’m willing to take care of South and you. You know that I’ll always be waiting for you to open your heart to me.” Her heart sank upon hearing that. Oh no! What I’m most afraid of will eventually arrive!
