Chapter 5
When she opened her eyes again, Camila immediately saw the white ceiling and a strong smell of disinfectant invaded her nostrils.
The nurse pushed the cart in to change her medicine and, upon seeing her wake up, hurriedly approached with joy.
“Mrs. Middleton, you finally woke up!”
“You didn’t know how anxious Mr. Middleton and Mr. Willie were during the days you were unconscious. They not only stayed by your side day and night, but also consulted the top doctors in the city. In addition, they went to Serenity Church outside the city to pray for your well–being”
“They climbed up the 999 steps, kneeling down with each step, and it even became a trending topic!”
After speaking, the nurse handed the phone to her
In the video, Richard and his son Willie knelt step by step towards the temple on the mountaintop.
Serenity Church was very spiritual, so people often came here to kneel step by step and pray.
But it was the first time they knelt together, like father and son.
So many people took out their phones to take pictures of them.
In the video, they were begging on their knees, while still sobbing and praying for her to wake up soon.
Camila could see this scene, but her heart was filled with irony.
If the father and son really loved themselves so much, why did they leave themselves to protect Nataly during the car accident?
The news of Camila waking up quickly reached the ears of the father and son. They didn’t even have time to tend to their wounds and immediately drove back to the hospital from outside the city. They rushed into her hospital room.
He held her in his arms
She witnessed the man’s loss of control once again, only this time her son was also present,
She, however, was not moved at all, as she watched the red eyes and trembling bodies of the father and son
Just felt numb.
Isn’t it good that she died?
They just happened to become a family with Nataly as they had wished.
Isn’t this good?
Why did you
you still have to act in front of her like this?
The father and son cried for a long time, and they also said a lot of words, but she still did not respond.
The two of them let go of her and stood frozen in place, taken aback by the calmness on her face and the irony in her eyes.
Perhaps also reminded of the scene of the car accident, Richard quickly explained to her that the reason he went to protect Nataly first that day was simply because she and Nataly were dressed too similarly.
So it was only natural to subconsciously mistake Nataly for her.
“Camila, I’m sorry, I really just mistook someone, I won’t do it again next time.”
“Yeah, Mom, I promise I won’t mistake Nataly for you next time, will you forgive us?”
The father and son quickly raised their fingers and made a solemn vow.
In that moment, Camila felt exhausted. She had told so many lies that even they themselves believed it.
She closed her tired eyes and didn’t want to continue listening to their lies
The clothes she wore that day were completely different from Nataly’s style. Moreover, at the moment the car crashed into them, they were still calling out for Nataly.

Richard, Willie, if you want to deceive me, i
at least come up with
up with a better lie. Why can’t you even tell a lie properly?
She didn’t speak, turned around and let the tears run wild.
The father and son saw her reaction and did not continue speaking. They assumed she was tired and quietly left the ward.
In the following days, perhaps out of guilt or perhaps out of uneasiness, the father and son stayed by her side without leaving an inch Richard hung up all the calls Nataly made.
Nataly completely lost her mind due to the long period of neglect, and she began to consider taking action against Camila,
One photo after another was sent to Camila’s phone, and finally, a video was also attached.
Even though I had known for a long time that the three of them had started families outside.
After seeing their photo, it still felt so dazzling.
In the first photo, Richard stood by the French window, indulgently holding Nataly in his arms, while fireworks were bursting in the sky outside. Nataly’s neck was covered in love bites.
In the second photo, Willie was soundly sleeping in Nataly’s arms, his hand tightly gripping her sleeve, afraid that she would leave.
In the third photo, Richard, Willie, and Nataly were taking a group photo in the restaurant. The three of them were sitting together, as close as a family.
In the fourth photo, three people were playing snowball fights and building snowmen in the snowdrift. Each person had a happy smile
on their face.
And in the last video.
At the birthday party.
Her husband and son kissed Nataly’s cheeks
Her husband said, “Wife, happy birthday.”
Her son said, “Mom, happy birthday.”
