Lawrence
I knew I had to let go of Camilla. When I looked into her eyes as she spoke to me, I could see the pain in her eyes. She was still hurting and as every second passed, I hated myself for breaking such a strong and beautiful woman like Camilla.
She deserved better and somehow I was glad to hear that she had a man in her life. She looked really proud when she talked about it and that only meant one thing, the man was treating her well enough, he must have treated her better than me.
When I thought deep about it, I realized that Camilla had gone through a lot of suffering. Not only did I reject her, I also threw her out of the house and then asked her to abort the baby. I wiped a drop of tear that rolled down my cheeks and I ran a hand through my hair in frustration.
At that moment, I just wished I could travel back in time. I wished I could fix things again. I wanted Camilla, throughout those five years of her absence. I was miserable, I was in ruins and I did not stop thinking about her, not for sngle day did I stop. Camilla was always on my mind and several times, I did try to look for her.
I looked for her almost everywhere and when I could not find her. I eventually gave up and decided that the least I could do for her was pray to the Moon Goddess to always protect her no matter the situation.
At least my prayers were answered, when I found out Camilla was the doctor who saved my life. I could not help but feel like fate had kicked in again. I knew that we were destined to meet. Maybe not destined for each other but the fact that I got to cross paths with her was a win for me. I got to see her doing well. She was a great doctor, infact everyone around seemed to respect her and hold her with so much high regard.
She had a man in her life too. Things were going smooth in her life but that did not stop me from thinking that if only I had found another way to protect Camilla from the pack leaders. If I had not rejected Camilla then the pack leaders would have killed her instead.
They would have killed her and it would have been a lot worse situation knowing that Camilla was dead, all thanks to me. This was for the best and sooner or later, I knew that I had to accept my fate.
With time, I prayed and hoped to the Moon Goddess that I would heal too. The door suddenly opened wide, at first my eyes glinted in excitement as I thought it was Camilla who had just walked in but unfortunately for me, it was just one of the regular nurses that Camilla sent to check on me frequently.
Did she also still care about me or was she just doing her positon asthe doctor in charge of me.
I sighed heavily and raised a brow at the nurse as she stood in front of me.
"How are you feeling Mr Lawrence?" She asked. Honestly, I was better but I pretended to still need more treatment because I wanted to see Camilla more often. I shrugged at the nurse in response and replied "I feel okay I guess. I just need to regain my strength."
The nurse nodded her head with me and a small smile remained plastered on her face. I tried my possible best to fight the urge not to ask her about Camilla but it was not easy I found it difficult not to. I cleared my throat and asked in a gentle tone. "What about doctor Camilla?" I asked with a raised brow. I tried not to make myself look obvious but the nurse still eyed me with slight suspicion.
"I see that you have a crush on our doctor, Mr Lawrence." The nurse wriggled her brows at me playfully. I almost choked on my spit and coughed loudly. Why was she so blunt?
I chuckled nervously and shaked my head in disagreement. Camilla would not have liked the idea of anyone finding us suspicious. She wanted to remain on the low and I would only be causing trouble for her if I admitted that I was crushing on her.
"You see Mr Lawrence. The truth is that you can always confide in me. I know Doctor Camilla is a gorgeous woman. A lot of people have eyes for her in the hospital." She said, she paused to rush towards my direction and she settled down on the bed besides mecomfortably.
I could not help but scooch some inches away from her. She said a lot of people in the hospital had eyes for Camilla. What was that supposed to mean? It annoyed me knowing that Camilla earned a lot of eyes from people in the hospital.
Or was I jealous? I had no right to be jealous. I was no longer her man.
"Oh." That was all I said. I patiently waited for the nurse to leave because I made it very clear to her that I was not interested in her gossip but unfortunately for me, the nurse only pushed further.
"But the sad truth is that, Doctor Camilla has a man in her life actually. Too bad for you." The nurse said with a sad smile plastered on her lips.
As if I did not already know that. I sighed heavily and tried to persuade her to leave but her next words caused me to remain frozen.
"I see why you men like her so much. She is such a hardworking woman. She spends so much time at the hospital but still has time to nuture her kids."
"Kids?" I questioned with wide eyes. Camilla had kids?
