Chapter 268


    When they reached Cam''s apartment building. Craig was already there, holding an elegantly wrapped paper bag.


    Seeing Cam draped in a men’s suit jacket, Craig paused slightly. There was a flicker of realization crossing his face: John had definitely lost his


    chance.


    However, he masked his emotions and greeted her with a smile.


    “Have you been waiting long. Craig?” Cam asked.


    Connor nodded slightly in greeting.


    “Just got here,” Craig replied. His gaze briefly swept over Connor.


    He mentally noted: This guy does look quite handsome. No wonder Cam isn''t interested in John


    He nodded at Connor and then turned his attention back to Cam, saying, “John knew how much you love chocte, so he sent some over. I


    brought them along on my way here.


    A spark of delight shed in Cam''s eyes as she took the bag, giving Craig a grateful look. “Wow, thank you!”


    “While visiting your mom today, I noticed she was coughing quite a bit. My dad suggested she should see a doctor, but she just said she''d already


    taken some medicine.” Craig shared, with a trace of worry in his eyes.


    Cam frowned upon hearing this. “She''s been coughing sincest week and won''t listen to anyone about seeing a doctor.”


    Craig sighed. His expression wasplex. “It sounds serious, but she insists she’s fine. Dad’s worried. He wants you to talk to her.”


    “But she never listens,” Cam remarked, turning to Connor. "Mr. Connor, I''d like to take a day off tomorrow to take my mom to the hospital


    ‘I''lle with you,” Connor offered.


    Cam shook her head, a slight smile on her face. “No need. You have a meeting tomorrow morning. I can manage on my own. Don''t worry about


    me.”


    ‘lll arrange my work ande with you.” insisted Connor.


    Cam held his arm gently, smiling softly, “Really, it''s okay. It would be more trouble if you came.”


    How was she supposed to intreduce Connor to her mom? As her boss? What kind of boss takes his employee’s mather to the hospital?


    Seeing her furrowed brow, Connor guessed her thoughts. “I''ll have the driver take you both tomorrow morning,” he said softly.


    “Alright,” Cam responded with a smile.


    Observing their interaction, Craig felt more assured about their rtionship.


    “If you can go back, dad will feel relieved.” he said with a smile.


    Before parting~Craig reiterated his


    concerns toCam, then turned and


    disappeared into the night. Connor

    Cam nodded.


    The next day, Young arrived early at Cam''s ce.


    A stretched Rolls-Royce was conspicuously parked at the entrance of the modest neighborhood, drawing looks from the neighbors.


    Cam was taken aback as she hurried into the car, half amused, half embarrassed. “Young, this car is too conspicuous.”


    “Sorry about that,” Young apologized. “Mr. Connor asked me to pick you up. I thought it was for a trip to the office.”Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.

    After a moment''s thought, she sighed, “It''s fine. We''re short on time. Let''s just go.”


    Young nodded and started the car.


    As the Rolls-Royce smoothly exited,


    the neighborhood, it turned quite


    few heads, especially in the old-area


    where such luxury was a rare sight.
