Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 920

He had hurt her so deeply, and now, with another man in the picture as a stark contrast, could she ever truly forgive him?

Meanwhile, Camila Davis woke up from a nap still feeling unwell. Perhaps because of the medicine she'd taken, her fever had broken, but her nose was still stuffy and her head felt fuzzy. Seeing she was awake, Dennis Williams brought over the lunch he had prepared for her. Camila didn't have an appetite, but Dennis coaxed her, "You have to eat something, or you won't get better."

Camila knew he was right, so she obediently sat up. Dennis knew sick people rarely had an appetite, so he had made her a light, nourishing soup. He had kept it warm, so it was the perfect temperature. Just as Camila was about to take the bowl, Dennis intercepted it. "I'll feed you," he said, picking up the spoon.

Camila looked at him with a helpless smile. "I'm sick, Dennis, not completely incapacitated."

He wasn't deterred. "I'm largely responsible for you getting sick, so please don't argue. Just let me take care of you."

Hearing this, Camila gave a soft laugh and playfully tugged his ear. "Oh, so you're feeling guilty now? Then why didn't you listen when I told you to stop last night?"

Dennis let her tease him, his tone completely unapologetic. "How could I possibly stop in a moment like that? Besides, my ears tend to go selectively deaf at the best of times."

Dennis's eyes crinkled with a smile. "I know."

He wasn't bothered by Jordan Smith's message in the slightest. In fact, the more Jordan acted out, the more it proved he was losing his composure. The man was probably starting to realize that his inaction was getting him nowhere. The longer this dragged on, the more pathetic he would look. It was like slowly turning up the heat; only then would Jordan be forced to confront his shame. Dennis was in no hurry at all.

Later, after finishing the soup and taking her medicine under Dennis's watchful eye, Camila felt much more energetic. She rested for a bit before getting back to work. Dennis didn't stop her, but he did bring her warm, revitalizing tea several times to keep her energy up. Jarvis Peters watched this and couldn't help but make a comment. "Okay, you two, the lovey-dovey act is a bit much!"
