Chapter 50 Her Kindness
Maxwell was very tired throughout the day and kept yawning. During the afternoon meeting with the executives, he almost fell asleep.
He regretted a little that he had been too indulgent last night.
Executives are no longer surprised by people like Maxwell. The incident when Maxwell’s lips got cut has already confirmed the rumors circulating in the company that Maxwell has a woman.
It is quite normal for Maxwell to have a woman at this age. What everyone is curious about is what kind of woman made Maxwell, who has always been uninterested in women, break his principles.
While Maxwell was dozing off, the spare phone that was placed in the drawer rang.
Maxwell opened his phone and looked at it, thinking, “Sure enough, it’s a message from Camila.”
“It seems that she didn’t block me.”
Maxwell smiled slightly, feeling the joy of a prey being caught. However, his joy disappeared when he finished reading the
message.
He was thinking, “Camila, you care about so many people.”
“Since you want to help him, let me see how far you can go for him.”

After sending the message, Camila regretted it. She had a one–night stand with Kevin.
She should not contact Kevin anymore.
But she committed a major taboo.
When Camila returned home, she finally received a reply from Kevin. Kevin said that if she could accompany him for one more night, he would agree to let Samson go back to work.
Camila was speechless.
She thought Kevin was shameless.
After deleting this message, Camila pushed open the door and walked into the yard.
Chloe was standing in the yard with Raven, muttering to herself. Chloe seemed to have cried, her eyes were red.
“Raven, please help me. I have maxed out all my credit cards. I don’t even have money to pay for rent now,” Chloe said, wiping her tears.
“I just transferred my salary for this month to your younger brother. He is about to take the college entrance exam. He is in need of money right now.”
“Then can you lend me several hundred dollars first, so that I can go out and rent a house? I will pay you back as soon as I receive my salary next month,” Chloe pleaded. It was evident that she was facing difficulties.
“I didn’t not want to help you. It’s just that I…”
At that moment, Chloe and Raven noticed Camila standing at

“Hello, Dr. Laxton,” Camila awkwardly greeted Chloe.
“Camila, can you help me?” Chloe walked up to Camila, wiping away her tears, and choked out, “I know I’ve done something wrong to you before, but now I don’t know who else can help me.”
Raven tugged at Chloe, telling her to stop talking.
But Chloe shook off Raven and grabbed Camila’s hand. “Camila, I’m not as bad as you think. If you can help me this time, I… I…”
Camila knew how determined Chloe was. If it weren’t for actually facing difficulties, Chloe wouldn’t have asked Camila for help.
“What trouble did you encounter?” Camila asked.
“No matter what trouble she encountered, you couldn’t help. Is it necessary for you to ask?” Raven snorted coldly. She grabbed Chloe and prepared to leave.
“Wait. How am I supposed to know how to help you if you don’t tell me what happened?”
“I was deceived. I wanted to buy a house, but I encountered a deceitful real estate agent. He swindled all of the 110 thousand dollars I had saved to buy the house. He had told me earlier that I could move into the new house by the end of the month, so I terminated my lease for the dormitory. Now, new residents have arrived at the hospital. I am being constantly pressured to move out of the dormitory. Today is the day I was supposed to move out of the dormitory. The

hospital has already had someone move my belongings out, but I don’t even have money to stay in a hotel.”
“Did you call the police?”
“I applied, but it didn’t solve my current problem. I’m really at a loss now. Can you help me, please?” Chloe pleaded, looking at Camila with desperate eyes.
Camila was a little bit hesitant.
“She didn’t even have a job now. How could she possibly have a solution?” Raven said mockingly.
Upon hearing this, Chloe became completely hopeless.
“I’m sorry for putting you in a difficult situation,” Chloe didn’t blame Camila, which was rare.
“Wait.” Just as Chloe turned around with a desolate expression, Camila grabbed her.
“My house hasn’t been sold yet. If you don’t mind, you can temporarily stay there for a few days. It is located in Ivy Gardens, not far from the hospital. The environment there is not bad.”
“Are you serious?” Chloe exclaimed, as if grasping a lifeline. “Don’t won’t stay for free. I will pay you the rent once I receive my salary.”
worry.
“You don’t have to worry. I don’t urgently need money,” Camila said as she took out the house key from her pocket and handed one of them to Chloe. This key was for the room that Samson used to live in before.
Chloe gratefully took the keys. She didn’t expect Raven to be

Raven’s face turned slightly red. On one hand, she hadn’t expected Camila to help Chloe without holding any grudges. On the other hand, she felt ashamed of her own selfishness.
After saying goodbye to Chloe, Raven grabbed Camila and they couldn’t speak for a long time. “Camila… oh no… Mrs. Starling, thank you for helping Chloe this time. Next month, please reduce my salary back to 1,500 dollars. I… I apologize to you before.”
“Raven, the past is in the past. I know you have had a difficult life. My temper is not always good. It’s enough for us to understand each other. As for the salary, since yours has already increased, there is no need to decrease it again. Thanks to you for taking care of our family. You have indeed worked hard.”
Upon hearing Camila’s words, Raven felt even more ashamed. She asked Camila not to do any household chores in the future. She would do everything by herself.
After finishing the business, Raven grabbed Camila and told her that Maxwell didn’t come home last night and might have gone to Svetla’s place again.
Camila nodded, indicating that she understood.
Later, Camila went to Gideon’s room. Gideon’s shoulder was feeling uncomfortable. Camila gave him a massage.
Gideon asked Camila how her progress with Maxwell had been lately. Camila hesitated and didn’t know what to say.
Gideon had no choice but to start pretending to be pitiful. He

said he wouldn’t live much longer. He wanted to see Camila and Maxwell fall in love with each other and Camila getting pregnant. Only then, after he died, could he peacefully close his eyes.
Camila agreed with Gideon. She remembered what happened last night. She didn’t know if this could be considered as infidelity within marriage.
She wondered what Maxwell would think if he found out.
She suddenly felt a little sorry for Maxwell.
That evening, Maxwell came back at half past nine.
Camila was about to go to sleep when Maxwell stumbled in with a strong smell of alcohol.
Maxwell collapsed onto the sofa as soon as he entered. He appeared extremely exhausted.
“Did you drink alcohol?” Camila asked as she walked over.
“Where did you go last night?” Maxwell sat up straight, asking with a serious expression.
Camila was guilty.
She lowered her head and answered something in a voice so low that even she couldn’t hear it.
“Speak up. I can’t hear you,” Maxwell said in a grumpy tone.
“I had a social engagement last night and it went on very late, so I went back to my house and stayed there for the night.”
“Are you alone?” Maxwell raised an eyebrow, staring directly

into Camila’s eyes.
“Yes, I was the only one,” Camila dared not look into Maxwell’s
eyes.
“Why didn’t you call me to pick you up?”
“I thought you went to send Svetla, so I didn’t dare to disturb you.”
Maxwell sneered.
“You were really understanding.”
Camila broke out in a sweat on her forehead. She didn’t want Maxwell to continue asking, so she quickly changed the subject.
“I saw my grandfather today. He urged us to have children again. I was thinking, since my grandfather values
descendants so much, if you were to have a child with Svetla, would my grandfather accept her?”
