Chapter 295
Arianna wanted to say more, but when she saw the mix of pleading and determination in Natalie’s eyes, she let it go and sat back down.
Just then, the door opened and Samuel Thompson walked in. He had made sure Natalie was settled, then spoke with her doctor to confirm she wouldn’t suffer any lasting effects, and now he was back. He looked a little surprised to find Arianna there.
“Mr. Thompson,” Arianna greeted him, standing up. She offered a polite smile. “Thank you for taking care of Natalie p>
Samuel shook his head. “You don’t have to thank me. Natalie’s my friend. Of course I’d help p>
He figured Arianna must have called Natalie and that’s how she ended up here. It wasn’t too surprising.
He turned to Natalie. “Don’t worry. As long as you rest, your leg will heal just fine. It’s getting pretty late, so I won’t stay. The nurses here are great. I’ve already let them know to help you with anything you need p>
Natalie had already thanked him so many times, she didn’t know what else to say. Samuel smiled, almost as if he could read her mind. “Seriously, no more thank-yous. Just focus on getting better. That’s what matters p>
Natalie nodded. “I will p>
Samuel got ready to leave. He turned to say goodbye to Arianna, but her phone started ringing. She glanced at the caller ID and said, “Sorry, I need to take this. Mr. Thompson, you’ve done enough. I’ll stay with Natalie. You should get some rest.” Ná´‡w É´ovel chaptá´‡rs are published on.net
She didn’t wait for a reply, just walked quickly out of the room.
Samuel spoke with Natalie for another moment, then left as well. In the quiet hallway, he spotted Arianna a little ways off, talking on the phone.
“I’m already at the hospital,” Arianna said, her voice clear in the silence. “Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Ward p>
Samuel paused for a second, then headed for the elevator. Arianna had her back to him, so she didn’t see him stop. She only turned around when she heard footsteps, catching a glimpse of his figure disappearing around the corner.
On the phone, Bruce Ward’s voice came through. “You really don’t have to thank me. We’re all friends here p>
Arianna’s eyes stayed on the empty hallway. “No, it’s not the same. We should keep our distance. Even as friends, we’re just… regular acquaintances p>
Bruce let out a long sigh. “Alright, alright, just regular acquaintances. I’ll stop by tomorrow to check on Natalie p>
“There’s really no need,” Arianna said, cutting him off before he could argue. appreciate what you did for Natalie, but another visit might upset her Seeing you is basically the same as seeing Alexander Ramirez p>
She didn’t give Bruce a chance to respond. “I need to get back. Bye p>
After making sure Charlotte Roberts was comfortable, Camila White was moved from surgery into a private suite on the top floor. About half ap hour later, Camila slowly opened her eyes.
“Camila, you’re awake.” Savannah was right there, holding her hand, worry all over her face.
Camila turned her head a little and saw Savannah, with Alexander Ramirez standing quietly nearby.
“Savannah… Alex Her voice was rough and weak. “I’m sorry I made you worry.” She managed a small, shaky smile, but her lips were pale. “Is… is the baby alright p>
Savannah’s face tightened, and her eyes filled with sympathy. She
squeezed Camila’s hand gently. “Camila, the baby didn’t makët! please don’t be too sad. You’re

It was like all the color drained from Camila’s face. Tears welled up right away, and
her fingers gripped the sheets tight.

With disbelief written all over her face, she turned to Alexander. “Alex, our baby’s
