novelxo Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire? ( Madison Parker and Cameron ) Chapter 199
Chapter 199
"Alright, Mr. Morgan, your IV drip has been changed. I'll leave now. Just ring the bell if you need anything,” the nurse sald to Cameron, who was lost in thought.
Cameron let out a deep breath.
His heart was anything but calm.
Could it be that Laura intentionally created a facade of indifference toward him?
But... why would she do that?
She didn't need to go through so much trouble if she wanted to appear aloof. She could have just avoided him altogether.
Yet, she repeatedly sought him out, said tender words to him, and made gestures of intimacy that only former lovers would do.
And if it was just to alleviate guilt, Laura shouldn't have cried alone and left without a word. What could be her hidden agenda?
Cameron was perplexed, his mind filled with turmoil.
"Cameron, what's wrong?”
A soft voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
Cameron's gaze focused. He realized that Dakota had returned with a large bowl of steaming porridge.
“Nothing, I was just lost in thought.”
Cameron smiled.
“You shouldn't dwell on upsetting things now that you're not feeling well. Rest and recovery are key,” Dakota said gently, then sat beside the bed.
She scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it lightly to cool it, and brought it to Cameron's mouth.
“Here, eat.”
“Um... maybe I feed myself?”
Cameron felt slightly embarrassed.
It was the first time he had been taken care of like this.
"You still have the IV drip in your hand. Let me do it,” Dakota said gently.
Cameron was touched.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the porridge in one gulp. Whether it was because he hadn't eaten. all day or because of Dakota, the bland porridge that was usually flavorless to him now had a hint of
sweetness.
“Take your time. Be careful, it's hot,” Dakota said as Cameron devoured the porridge
She then scooped up another spoonful and gently blew on it.
Her considerate demeanor warmed Cameron's heart like never before.
Dakota's gentleness and thoughtfulness resonated more deeply with him than Laura's cold elegance, exuding a sense of comfort.
However, Cameron couldn't help but feel a sense of indebtedness toward Dakota's actions. “What are you thinking about? Are you spacing out again?”
Dakota's gentle voice rang in Cameron's ears once more.
Cameron looked up at Dakota, observing her gentle and charming demeanor with a slight pout. He felt guilty and said, “I'm sorry for making you come all the way only to look after me.
“It's nothing. You've helped me so much. It's my turn to take care of you,” Dakota replied with a gentle smile.
“Come on, quickly finish your porridge and replenish your energy.”
Cameron swallowed another mouthful of hot porridge, feeling a comforting warmth spread through
his chest.
"Cameron, would you like some fruit later? I can buy some for you,” Dakota asked.
“It's not necessary. It's too much trouble.”
“It's not any trouble. The fruit stall is right next to the hospital. It's nearby.
“In that case... some strawberries would be nice.”
"Okay, I'll buy them after you finish your porridge.”
“Thank you, Dakota.”
"Don’t thank me—just open your mouth,” Dakota said radiantly.
She wished she could look after Cameron for the rest of her life.
