Writer's POV.One Year Later.Camilla stared at herself in the mirror.A lot has happened in the last five years.She had cried, smiled, and repeated the process again and again.Now here she was. She stood in front of the ornate mirror, her reflection framed by the delicate, carved wood.Her eyes were wide, taking in the image of herself in the pristine white gown that draped elegantly over her slender frame. The dress was simple yet stunning, with lace sleeves that clung to her arms, ending just above her wrists. A soft veil cascaded down from the crown of her head, its fine tulle blending seamlessly with her loose curls.Around her neck, she wore a single pearl on a thin gold chain, a gift that her Mom had given to her. "It was a gift from your Dad to me before our marriage. I thought it would look beautiful on you too," She had said to Camilla."Thank you, Mom," She said and hugged her before she left the dressing room.Her fingers lightly brushed the fabric at her waist, feel
Camilla's POV.Waiting was a lot harder than I thought.For two days I couldn't bring myself to leave the hospital. I would take turns switching from Lawrence to George's ward.Mom had to make Lucy and Bridget force me to go back home to shower and eat.When I got back the next day, I was told that Lawrence had woken up.I ran straight to his room, and there he was, seated in his bed, and Dr. Richard checking his vitals."Lawrence!" I cried out as I ran towards him.He winced as I hugged him."Sorry," I said as I broke free. For a minute I forgot he was still in pain."It seems like you missed me a lot," He said with a smirk on his face.I didn't know what to say to him. I couldn't find the words to express how I felt at the moment.I wrapped my hands around his shoulders as I kissed him.That was the only way I could express myself.He gave into the kiss as he wrapped his arms and pulled me closer.It felt like an eternity until Dr. Richard cleared his throat.I and Lawrence broke fr
Camilla's POV.I went to the changing room and took off the surgical attire I wore for the surgery.When I stepped out, Dr. Richard approached me."You did great, Miss Wilmer," He said with a smile on his face.I smiled back at him."Thank you, Doctor," I replied.He patted me on the back and was about to walk away when something came to my mind."Dr. Richard!" I called out to him.He turned to me."Yes, Miss Wilmer, do you need anything else?" He asked.I walked towards him."Is it possible for me to see Lawrence," I asked him.He smiled."Yes you can," He replied with his usual gaze and smile.I followed him quietly behind, as he led me to a ward that was just next to George's previous ward.I smiled the moment I realized what he had done."I knew you would want to have both of them close to you. I couldn't put him in George's ward because it wasn't big enough, but I hope having him next to it would be okay."Hearing his words, I couldn't help but chuckle."Thank you, Doctor. This i
Camilla's POV.The day was finally here. The day I have been waiting for for months.I stared at my shaking hands as I muttered the words, "The surgery would go well. Lawrence and George are going to be fine. My family is going to be whole again."I kept muttering the words, trying to build my confidence and reassure myself.Dr. Richard had tried to talk me out of doing the surgery myself."With everything that has happened, I don't think you are in the right mind to go into an Operating Room yet," He had said to me.He was right. So many things still weighed me down and tugged at my chest, but I wouldn't let anything make me back out."I'll be fine, Doctor, I can do it," I had replied.I was already dressed in my surgical attire. Now I just had to wait for Dr. Richard to come get me.Just then, I heard footsteps approaching.I turned to find Dr. Richard walking towards me. "Is it time?" I asked him enthusiastically.He smiled."Yes, Miss Wilmer, it's time," He said. He was about to
Camilla's POV.Last night, I made Lawrence take me home. I didn't even say goodbye to Mom and Bridget.I just didn't want to stay in the same building with Jane.Because of everything that happened, George's surgery was moved to the next day.I wasn't in the right state of mind to do the surgery, and I didn't want anyone else to do it for me."Are you still not going to the hospital today?" Lawrence asked me.I was speechless. I didn't know what to say.I still had to go and make sure that everything was ready for George's surgery, and also to check up on Frank.They finally found someone with his blood type. Also, they found out that he had internal bleeding.They'll have to perform surgery on him. Lawrence had asked me if I could be there since I was an amazing doctor, but I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do."I know you might be having issues with seeing Frank after everything Jane did, and...""Wait a minute, Lawrence," I said.I had to interrupt him.I know what he was think
Camilla's POV.I snickered.I can't believe she said that."What do you mean it was just for fun?" Lawrence asked.She looked at me."At first, all I wanted was for Raymond to play with her feelings. When I met him, we started working together and making money...""From scamming people?" I asked, interrupting her. "Or no, should I say from scamming your fellow women?"She bit her lower lip."I had no choice, Camilla," She said.I laughed."And what about when you hurt my kids, huh? Or what about...""And I'm truly sorry, Camilla."After what she said, I still found it hard to believe her now."And what about your son? What about how you made him eat nuts when he was allergic? Are you planning on apologizing to him too?!""I want to apologize to him, but I won't be able to if something bad happens to him!" She yelled and started sobbing. "Please help me out, Lawrence!"I felt my heart break in pieces as I watched her break into tears.She might be a horrible person, but she loved Frank
