Chapter 25 Ask for His Help

Maxwell had been with Gideon last night and didn’t go home. He was just about to head to the company this morning when he saw Camila leave the hospital. He had wanted to go over and ask where she was going, but he had taken the Bentley out last night and was afraid Camila would be suspicious, so he didn’t approach and tailed her instead.

Seeing Camila get into Dewitt’s car, Maxwell looked away with his hand clenched tightly on the steering wheel, nails pale. Then he punched the steering wheel.

In the car, Dewitt took out 16 thousand dollars in cash and handed it to Camila, instructing her to first make up for the missing company money.

Camila looked at the freshly withdrawn money and felt a bit disappointed. “Dr. Booker, do you also think I took the company’s money?” she asked.

Only then did Dewitt realize he had meant well but done badly. “No no, I didn’t mean that. I was worried they would give you a hard time if you couldn’t explain it for the time being.”

“If I make up the money, it’ll only make it harder for me to explain,” Camila said as she got out of the car. “Thank you for your concern, Dr. Booker, but I believe the truth will come out. I trust that the police will bring justice to the innocent.”

Dewitt embarrassingly put away the money and asked where Camila wanted to go. He could give her a ride.

Having just come from the hospital, Dewitt was too

embarrassed to make up another excuse to go back. He could only leave first.

But Camila didn’t return to the hospital. She went to her apartment. Since tenants had lived there, the place was a mess. She spent the whole morning tidying it up.

At noon, she made soup at home, planning to bring some for Gideon. She had ignored him the last few days since she was busy with Gemma’s surgery. She felt bad about it.

Arriving at the International Department of the hospital, Camila pushed open the door to Gideon’s room, only to replace it empty.

She remembered the doctor said he would stay for a week. How did he get discharged so quickly?

Camila placed the thermal food container down and made her way to the back garden of the hospital. There, she spotted a female doctor pushing Gideon’s wheelchair, allowing him to enjoy some sunlight.

“Grandpa!” Camila walked over.

Gideon turned back with a big smile, delighted to see Camila. “Camila’s here! How did your grandma’s surgery go?” he

asked cheerfully.

“It went very well, thank you for your conce…” Camila didn’t finish speaking before looking up to see Chloe turn around.

Chloe was also taken aback. “Camila, how do you always

manage

Camila only knew Chloe as one of the girls chasing after Dewitt. She seemed pretty aggressive and blunt.

“Dr. Laxton, you transferred to the International Department?”

“You two know each other?” Gideon also sensed the tension between the two. “Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Laxton, Raven’s niece. She came to see me. And this is my granddaughter–in–law, Camila.”

“Granddaughter–in–law?” Now Chloe understood. So Camila was the one Maxwell had a whirlwind marriage with.

“Camila, you’re so charming,” Chloe said sarcastically.

“Dr. Laxton, thank you for visiting Grandpa. It’s noon now, you should also get some rest. I’ll take over from here.” Camila took over the wheelchair.

“Grandpa, I stewed chicken soup for you. Shall we go back and have some?”

Gideon laughed, baring all his teeth. “Wonderful, looks like I have the fortune to enjoy your cooking again.”

Chloe just stood there, her anger so intense that it took her a while to calm down.

In the room, Gideon ate soup while asking Camila what she thought of Maxwell.

Camila lowered her head as warm moments with Maxwell appeared in her mind, her face slowly turning red.

Gideon saw that Camila seemed to have fallen for his

grandson. He smiled so broadly that wrinkles spread across. his face.

“Camila, Maxwell is a little introverted. He likes to keep a lot bottled up inside. So if you also have feelings for him, you’ll need to take the initiative more.”

Camila sighed. Taking initiative didn’t seem to be something she could do.

In the evening, after visiting Gemma, Camila returned to see Gideon and coincidentally ran into Maxwell.

Maxwell was sitting at the bedside feeding Gideon soup. He didn’t even stop when Camila came in, acting as if he didn’t see her.

Camila felt a little let down.

Gideon noticed something was off. He pushed away the soup bowl and said, “I’m full, want to rest for a bit. You go take a walk outside with Camila.”

Maxwell helped Gideon lie down.

While Maxwell couldn’t see, Gideon made a victory sign at Camila.

Camila was laughing inside.

After taking care of Gideon, Maxwell got up and strode out of the room quickly as if in a huff.

Seeing Camila was still stunned, Gideon hurriedly gestured for her to hurry and catch up.

Maxwell walked faster and faster up ahead while Camila

struggled to keep up, panting.

Finally, in the parking lot, Maxwell came to a stop.

“Why were you walking so fast?” Camila leaned against Maxwell’s car, gasping for air.

“I didn’t ask you to follow me,” Maxwell said in an annoyed

tone.

Camila was taken aback. She had followed Maxwell to ask him a favor, but seeing his impatience, she didn’t know how to bring it up.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Maxwell frowned at Camila.

“I, I have something I want to ask you.” Camila brought up her idea of recovering the deleted surveillance footage, asking if it was feasible.

“Others can’t, but I can,” Maxwell said very confidently, but his tone suddenly changed. “But why should I help you?”

Camila finally saw a glimmer of hope and was elated. “You want money, right? Name your price.”

Upon hearing this, Maxwell laughed in anger.

He fiercely flicked Camila’s forehead. “Do I look like I need money?”

“Ouch!”

Was this guy’s hand made of iron?

It hurt so much.

“Then what do I need to do for you to help me?”

“I’m hungry. Go home and make me dinner.”

“That’s it?” Camila was very happy. “Then let’s go back now.””

The two got in the car.

Maxwell turned on the car music, and it was all opera.

Camila didn’t expect Maxwell to like listening to opera. It all felt more like an old person’s taste.

Actually, Camila liked it too. When she was little, her neighbor was an opera singer, and she had learned it for a while as well. However, she stopped after her neighbor moved away.

Unable to resist, Camila sang a few lines at the climax.

Maxwell frowned. This was a used car the butler bought for him. It was also his first time turning on the car audio today. He didn’t expect it to all be opera.

He had been feeling annoyed listening to it when he suddenly heard Camila sing a couple of notes. Oddly enough, he found it very nice to listen to.

“You can sing opera?”

“I learned a bit from my neighbor when I was little.” Camila smiled awkwardly.

“My grandfather loves listening to opera. You should sing a bit for him sometime!” Maxwell suddenly felt like he had discovered a treasure. The way he looked at Camila grew increasingly profound.

The two were talking.

Suddenly, the car in front of them stopped and Maxwell rear- ended it.

Camila was startled, and when she looked at the car in front, her heart sank even more. It was a Lamborghini.

Maxwell was very calm. He didn’t even get out of the car, just

called the insurance.

Just then, a fashionably dressed pretty girl got out of the car in front. She was wearing a black mini skirt, and her wavy chestnut hair flawlessly cascaded down, adding to her allure. Her exquisite smoky eye makeup further enhanced her beauty.
