Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 216

Catherine could see the anxiety written all over my face and immediately tried to reassure me. "Take it easy, Aaliyah. We're just guessing here. Besides, we have Dr. Dailey on our side. What's there to worry about?"

"Even a minor slip-up could lead to disaster, Catherine," I retorted, giving her a pointed look.

She shrugged nonchalantly. "Don't be such a pessimist, Aaliyah."

"I hope you're right," I muttered under my breath.

"Aaliyah!" At that moment, a voice called out for my name from a distance. I turned around to find Camilla, Jerome's wife, walking towards us, holding her purse.

"Camilla." I greeted her with genuine warmth, walking up to meet her. "What brings you to the hospital?"

She gave a shy smile and took my hand. "I've been feeling a little under the weather lately. So I came in for a check-up and to get the results today."

I hadn't seen Camilla in ages. She looked the same, except maybe a little thinner and slightly pale.

"What's bothering you? Have you seen the doctor yet?" I asked, concerned. Of all the Dawson family, she was the only one I liked.

"I've been having stomach aches for a while now," she replied, her voice as soft and gentle as a whisper. She looked at me and said, "I wanted to visit you when I heard you were ill but..."

Eventually, Hazel and I intervened. We bought them a small old house, and they finally tied the knot. Within a year, Camilla gave birth to Fidelia.

I suspected that Camilla was pregnant with Jerome's child during the wedding drama, which was why she was so adamant about being with him. It strained her relationship with her family, and they rarely kept in touch.

Upon hearing that my kids were visiting my mother, Camilla's face froze slightly. "It must be nice to be close to the family," she said.

"Ah... I have been sick and haven't been back in a while. I visited my mom’s place only because I was so mad at Jaylan," I said, hoping to lighten the mood. "I'm planning to go back soon. Or would you like Fidelia to stay in Silverdale City for a few days?"
