“I'm fine," Camila said absentmindedly, waving her hand.

“By the way, Nelson was taken back to Faymoor by his daughter."

Camila perked up at that. "Has he recovered?"

“Not yet. His injuries were severe, it would take him a long time to fully recover. I advised him to go back as soon as possible, or he might only find himself in the same situation."

Josiah was referring to Isaac, and Camila knew it.

She pressed her Lips together and said nothing

She was aware of Cathy's thoughts toward Nelson.

“That's it, then," Josiah said as he straightened his clothes. "Sleep well. If you need anything, just give me a call."

Camila nodded gratefully and watched him Leave the room.

Once the door closed behind him, she leaned back against the pillows and stared at the ceiling for several, long minutes

When she finally broke out of her trance, she reached for her phone and called Glenda.

"The next time you come here," Camila instructed, "please bring the bottle of Vitamin C on the dressing table in my room."

“Okay, I will."

Camila hung up with a sigh

She lay back, gently placed her hand over her belly, and slowly closed her eyes.

Glenda arrived a little more than an hour later

She brought Camila some food, as well as the bottle of pills

“I made some soup for you. Drink some while it's still hot."

Sure enough, it was warm and tasty, and Camila quickly got her appetite back.

"I also made steamed dumplings. Make sure to eat them once you're done with the soup." “ALL right."

Glenda fidgeted with her fingers for a while, looking a little hesitant. Then she said, "Mr. Johnston hasn't been home recently.

You... I mean, are you two doing okay?"

“He's just busy with work," Camila replied without missing a beat. "You know that the head office is based abroad. It's highly inconvenient for him to travel back and forth often."

Glenda nodded, seemingly convinced by this explanation. "Where's Joe?" “My mother is taking care of him. I don't really think you have the energy to spare looking after him."

"I won't argue with that." Glenda smiled. "I'd have to bring him along when I deliver your meals. But since the little one isn't here, I'1L stay the night and keep you company."
