Chapter 65 A Tender Moment
He checked Hudson and said that Hudson had only taken anesthesia and was not in any life–threatening condition.
Camila breathed a sigh of relief and quickly drove through the night to take Hudson back to the hospital.
Not long after, Hudson woke up, but he couldn’t remember what had happened before.
To be on the safe side, Camila called the police and had Hudson make a statement. She also provided the police with the license plate number, hoping for a quick resolution to the
case.
Everything had ended already in the early morning.
Hudson had to stay overnight in the hospital for observation, while Camila went back with Maxwell.
Sitting in the car, Camila watched Maxwell driving attentively and suddenly felt a bit dazed.
There was a feeling that they had known each other for a long time.
“Maxwell, do you believe in fate?” Camila asked.
Maxwell turned his head and reached out to touch Camila’s head. “Stop overthinking, just get some sleep if you’re tired.”
Camila was really tired and dozed off. In her sleep, she was pulled into a warm embrace, a familiar scent that made her

feel especially at ease.

She nestled into her arms, found a comfortable position, and was too tired to keep her eyes open.
She felt that if she could just sleep like this and never wake up, it would also be a kind of happiness.
Maxwell held Camila in the car and persisted until dawn.
He was afraid that if he moved, Camila would wake up. So Maxwell maintained a position and didn’t dare to move until his legs and arms went numb.
In the morning, Larissa came out to take out the trash and was startled to see two people in the car.
Maxwell asked Larissa to help him open the car door, and he carefully carried Camila out of the car.
Larissa took a photo of two people from an angle that Maxwell couldn’t see and sent it to Svetla.
Svetla, who had not slept all night, was just about to take a nap when he received a photo from Larissa.
In the photo, Maxwell’s careful movements and tender expression infuriated Svetla.
She tried hard to recall the kindness Maxwell had shown her in the past, in order to prove that she was Maxwell’s true love.
But thinking about it, all of it was her goodness towards Maxwell. And when it came to things Maxwell had done for her, the only things that came to mind were bending down to tie her shoelaces and giving her an umbrella on a rainy day, and so on.

Svetla couldn’t help but feel inferior to Camila.

Most importantly, Svetla saw tenderness in Maxwell’s gaze towards Camila. This was an emotion she had never felt from
Maxwell before.
Did he fall in love with another woman?
Svetla instantly panicked.
No, no.
Maxwell was her everything, and she would never allow such a thing to happen.

When Camila woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning of the second day.
She woke up and received a strange message.
“Leave Maxwell, otherwise Hudson wouldn’t be so lucky next
time.”
“Who are you?” Camila exclaimed, sitting up in surprise. “What do you want?”
“Don’t you care about who I am. If you don’t do as I say, I will make sure you know the consequences.”
“Do you know that you committed a crime?” Camila’s fingers began to tremble as she sent the message.
“If you dared to call the police or let Maxwell know, I would make your brother sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.”

Camila felt very cold and, thinking about Hudson being drugged last night, she admitted that she was scared.
“Did Svetla make you do this, right?”
“Why weren’t you speaking?”

”
Camila sent several more messages, but the other party did not respond.
It seems highly likely that Svetla was behind it.
Maybe the person who last hit Hudson also had something to do with her.
A surge of anger instantly welled up in Camila’s heart.
Svetla dared to hurt her younger brother, she would never let it go just like that.
In order to ensure Hudson’s safety and facilitate taking care of him, Camila brought Hudson to the villa and installed cameras and alarms everywhere.
Maxwell thought that Camila was somewhat overly anxious, but he didn’t oppose either. After all, he couldn’t be certain whether those people would target Hudson again.
At noon, Maxwell arrived at the seaside villa.
Svetla ordered him a large table of dishes, but Maxwell said he didn’t come to eat.
Seeing Maxwell’s gloomy face, Svetla’s face also turned cold.

“Did you arrange for someone to do last night’s job?” Maxwell asked.
“What happened last night?” Svetla feigned surprise.
“Last night, Hudson was kidnapped and almost got into trouble in the outskirts.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Svetla looked at Maxwell in disbelief. “Are you suspecting me?”
“Why did I do that? I have no grudges against Hudson. Just because I went to see him yesterday afternoon, you suspect me?”
Svetla was furious.
“Is it wrong for me to personally visit Hudson just because you told me to improve my relationship with Camila?”
Maxwell didn’t know how to respond. “I didn’t mean that.”
“What do you mean then? Have you forgotten what you once said to me?”
Svetla’s eyes were bloodshot. “You said you would never doubt me, that you would always trust me unconditionally. Have you forgotten?”
“I didn’t forget,” Maxwell said, his gaze filled with complex emotions that were difficult to decipher.
“You forgot, now all you see in your eyes is Camila. You have long forgotten everything about us, forgotten the promises we made in the beginning.”
“Sorry, consider me absent today,” Maxwell turned around to

leave, but was stopped by Svetla’s firm grip.

“Don’t go, Maxwell,” Svetla tightly embraced Maxwell from behind. “Don’t leave me, I didn’t sleep all night last night. I stood on the balcony, and for a moment, I really wanted to jump off…”
Maxwell trembled for a moment.
“Have you been taking your medication on time recently?”
“I had already stopped eating long ago, you didn’t care about me anymore. What medicine should I take? Just let me die.”
Maxwell sighed.
“When did I ever say that I don’t care about you?”
“What you said a couple of days ago, that you have settled down now and won’t be able to come and see me often. Doesn’t that mean you’re going to neglect me?”
“I was really busy now, with a lot of work at the company. Although Camila is at home, I can’t just ignore everything. And whenever I think about my grandfather’s illness, my mood becomes very bad.”
“I know you’ve been having a hard time, and actually, I can help take care of Grandpa too. After all, I grew up in the Starling family and had a good relationship with Grandpa. How about you let me move back and live with you?”
“There was no place to stay at home, so Camila brought her younger brother over. Moreover, grandfather is currently recuperating and doesn’t like too much noise.”
“Why is it that Hudson moved in without causing any noise,
Chapter 65 A Tender Moment
but as soon as I moved in, it became noisy?” Svetla pouted. “Have I become a stranger in your eyes now?”
“Don’t misunderstand, Hudson won’t stay permanently either, just temporarily.”
“Alright then,” Svetla didn’t want to push Maxwell too much. “Can I occasionally come over for a meal? You borrowed my nanny. I’ve been ordering takeout every day now, and the food makes me sick.”
“That’s no problem. When you feel like vomiting, give Pawel a call and have him take you there.”
After Maxwell finished speaking, he made an excuse and left.
