“Cough, cough, cough…” Camila weakly glanced at Maxwell, “Do you need something?”
Maxwell only just noticed that Camila was receiving an intravenous infusion. “Is it that serious? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t die.”
“You would rather have strangers take care of you than come to me, what exactly do you want?”
“You were so busy. I didn’t want to bother you.”
“You know, that’s enough.” Maxwell sat on the edge of the bed. “I don’t have much time, so you need to get better quickly.”
“I didn’t say for you to take care of it,” Camila said angrily.
“Danniel was my boss, what would others think if you asked him to take care of you? Have you ever considered me?”
“Is Danniel your boss?” Camila felt the momentum from Maxwell just now, as if he was Danniel’s boss instead.
“Yes, you’re right,” Maxwell also realized that he had forgotten to hide his identity just now and quickly explained, “I saw Danniel holding you earlier, and I got anxious…”
“He just helped me up. So, you won’t have any trouble with your boss after the way you treated him just now, right?”

Maxwell pretended to look frustrated, “Worst case scenário, I would be fired.”
“I don’t think Danniel is a stingy person either. Explain it to him properly, and he shouldn’t fire you, right?”
“Are you worried about me?” Maxwell’s eyebrows slightly raised.
“I don’t have time to worry about you,” Camila glanced at him, “If you’re fine, go and do your thing. I want to take a nap.”
“You are still receiving intravenous therapy. Someone needs to keep an eye on you. Go ahead and sleep, I’ll wait until you finish the infusion before leaving,” Maxwell sat on the nearby sofa, took out his phone and started scrolling, no longer speaking.
Camila closed her eyes and suddenly remembered something.
“What did Danniel just call you? Kevin?”
Maxwell’s body shook, “What Kevin? Kevin is our boss, he just called me… Alvin, that’s what they all call me.”
“Alvin?” Camila nodded, not thinking much of it. Due to her high fever, her mind was foggy, and it seemed like she had misheard.
Maxwell’s palms were sweating.
He had actually been struggling with how to explain this matter clearly to Camila, but after thinking it over, he decided to keep it hidden for the time being.
“Alvin meant creative and brave.”

“What does Kevin mean?” Camila asked.
“It meant success.”
“I like the name Alvin,” Camila thought for a moment, “Can you also give me a name?”
Maxwell pondered for a moment.
“How was Rhea?”
“What’s the meaning?”
“Beautiful wife.”
“The name is okay, just the meaning is a bit off.” Camila seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but she quickly added, “Let’s go with this one, it feels like there aren’t many people with the same name, unlike Mary, Kate, Helen, which are all too common.”
“I also had a friend named Rhea, and most girls with this name were very virtuous.”
“Is that so?” Camila felt that Maxwell was being mysterious.
“They supported their husbands and raised children, pursuing a love that valued unwavering loyalty,” Maxwell replied.
“How would foreign men treat their wives if they were cheated on?”
Camila regretted immediately after asking because she saw Maxwell’s face turn ugly.
Actually, she was just curious and didn’t mean anything else.

But she felt that Maxwell must have misunderstood her.
“Why were you interested in this question?” Maxwell stood up and sat on the edge of her bed.
Camila immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.
“I was tired,” Camila turned over and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Long ago, she heard Maxwell sigh.
“As long as you were still my wife, I would not allow you to like someone else.”
Maxwell covered Camila with a blanket and turned to the balcony to make a phone call.
Maxwell’s voice was too low, and Camila couldn’t hear what he was saying.
After a while, Maxwell finished the call and saw that Camila had fallen asleep.
In the afternoon, Camila felt better. At this time, Danniel sent someone to bring her fruits and snacks.
In the office, Danniel looked at Maxwell, whose face was gloomy. He didn’t expect that the girl sent by Conner Consultancy would turn out to be the boss lady.
“I sent someone to deliver fruits to Mrs. Starling,” Danniel chuckled.
“From now on, you should pretend to be my boss in front of her, don’t give yourself away,” Maxwell warned.

“No problem,” Danniel was very willing to cooperate and felt very excited.
That evening, Maxwell picked up Camila and brought her back to the Starling family.
Because the housekeeper fell ill, Maxwell decided to cook himself.
He searched for cooking videos online and then had Camila sit beside him to give instructions.
Camila didn’t expect Maxwell to be so skilled at cooking on his first try. His knife skills were as if he had been trained, even better than someone like her who cooks regularly. Moreover, his movements were graceful and efficient.
“I thought you had the potential to be a great chef,” Camila praised.
“What should we do next?” Maxwell asked Camila, who was holding her phone.
“Next, the ingredients were supposed to be stir–fried in the pan,” Camila had just finished saying when Svetla’s video call came in.
Camila accidentally pressed a button and connected the video call.
“Svetla’s phone,” Camila handed the phone to Maxwell and turned around, leaving the kitchen.
Maxwell picked up his phone and asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Svetla saw Maxwell wearing an apron and asked
incredulously, “Maxwell, why are you dressed like this? Are you cooking?”
“I was just cooking, if you have nothing to do, you can hang up.”
“Wait, I wanted to invite you to have dinner together tonight and then go watch a movie,” Svetla said.
“I’m busy today, you can eat by yourself,” Maxwell said and hung up the phone.
Svetla was rejected and got so angry that she threw her phone far away.
At this moment, Dimon happened to come in.
“Weren’t you supposed to go out? Why are you angry?” Dimon had always been indifferent to Svetla.
“I wanted to invite Maxwell for dinner, but he said he was busy,” Svetla said angrily. “But he clearly had time to cook at home, he just didn’t have time to be with me!”
“Did he cook at home?” Dimon squinted and smiled, “How about we go to his place and mooch a meal?”
Svetla became interested when she heard it, “This is indeed a good idea.”

Camila looked at the dish Maxwell had made and suddenly felt better, her previously depressed mood lifted.
“Try my craftsmanship,” Maxwell looked at Camila eagerly.

Camila was about to pick up her fork when the doorbell rang.
Maxwell got up to open the door and saw Svetla and Dimon swaggering in.
“We came specifically to taste the dishes made by Maxwell.”
Svetla was the first to enter the restaurant and saw Camila eating her meal absentmindedly.
“Hey, eating alone, huh?” Svetla approached and whispered in Camila’s ear, “How did you not drown that day? You’re really lucky!”
