Chapter 13
“Forget it," he said through gritted teeth. “I care about your happiness, so I'll let it
slide just this once.”
Isaac's gaze turned pensive as he studied Forrest. Then he shut the car door and
gestured to Willie.
“Drive.”
Willie started the car, and the car slowly cruised into the highway. Forrest was still
on edge. He felt obligated to do something for
Camila, anything to make things better for her
He turned just in time to see her exit the building. “Mila,” he called out to her.
“I'm heading home.” Camila smiled.
“Mila... I just want to say that I will do my best to find your mother a suitable heart
donor. I'll make sure she gets her surgery as soon as possible.”
The thought of her ailing mother made Camila’s heart ache. She tried not to let it
show, but the tremor in her voice betrayed her. “Really?” A heart donor was one
of the most difficult organ donors to find.
Not only were they rare, but there was never a guarantee that the organ would
be compatible with the patient's body. Most died from failing to get a transplant.
“Thank you, Forrest,” Camila whispered, her eyes filling with tears. She didn't
know how else to convey her sincere appreciation for him “You're welcome. Don't
take it to heart, we are friends. This is what friends do.” Forrest's emotions were
all over the place. If it hadn't been for Isaac, Camila would be one step closer to
her goals. And although he wanted to support Isaac in his pursuit of Debora,
Forrest hated the fact it was at Camila’s expense.
“Let me drive you home.”
“No, no, it's all right,” Camila said in a hurry. “I'm fine, really.” She wasn't going to
the Haynes residence, after all. She couldn't let Forrest know that she was
already married. She couldn't let anyone know.
Luckily, Forrest didn’t insist.
The pair exchanged goodbyes, and Camila took a taxi back to the villa she
shared with Isaac.
If there was any consolation to be had, it would be the knowledge that her new
husband didn't care to go home to her. It brought Camila immense relief. Glenda
greeted her at the door. She was glad to see that Camila wasn't as uptight as
when she had first moved in. “You look happy,” the housekeeper remarked kindly.
“Did something good happen?”
Camila was bent over, changing her shoes.
“It's nothing Glenda. I just realized I Like living with you, just the two of us.”
Glenda didn’t reply.
