“Did you come to see me?" A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and his eyes Lit up happily.

She had always been cold to him, so now that she had come to see him voluntarily, he was ecstatic.

"Yes." Camila nodded.

“How are you feeling?"

"Great!" he said enthusiastically, pulling her back towards the door to his ward.

“Let's go inside."

“Maybe next time." She tried to refuse.

After all, Trudy was still there.

"Oh, Mila, you're here. Did you come to see your father?" The door swung open and Trudy walked out, looking Camila up and down with disdain.

Camila didn't like her at all, but Aldrin was a good-natured kid. Unfortunately, his mother was raising him to be selfish and scheming. The second Marvin fell ill, Trudy only thought about Marvin's assets. Did she really love him?

Or did she just pretend to love him so that she could get some money out of him?

“He's my father. Is it so strange for me to visit him at the hospital?" Camila shot back.

Trudy's expression changed.

“Haven't you always hated your father? Why are you so worried about him all of sudden? You're after his assets, aren't you?!"

At first, Camila didn't want to argue with her about this, but Trudy's accusation got on her nerves. "I didn't think about it before, but now that you've mentioned it, I think now's a good time to ask him about my inheritance."

Trudy's face turned livid. "You Little—"

“Alright, alright." Marvin was so annoyed by their endless arguing. "I'm supposed to be in recovery here. How am I supposed to do that if you guys keep pestering me?"

Camila sensibly quieted down and said, "Okay, Dad. Thanks."

She seldom treated him nicely, so he was moved by her small gesture of appreciation. "It's the least I can do for you.”

The two exchanged knowing glances. It seemed they were both willing to let bygones be bygones.

Trudy, on the other hand, was confused.

“Marvin, why'd she thank you? What did you do for her?"

“It's none of your business," Marvin said coldly.

Then he walked into the ward, saying, "I don't need you here. You can go back first."

Trudy immediately put on a flattering expression and tried to change his mind.
