novelxo Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire? ( Madison Parker and Cameron ) Chapter 200
Chapter 200
Cameron swallowed another mouthful of hot porridge, feeling a comforting, warmth spread through
his chest.
The bowl of hot porridge was soon finished.
“Cameron, why don't you lie down and rest for a while? Ill go buy some strawberries for you,” Dakota suggested as she set down the bowl and spoon.
“Alright.”
Cameron smiled faintly.
Dakota then walked toward the ward's exit.
Cameron watched her gentle figure retreat until she completely disappeared from his view. He then turned his gaze to outside the window.
As he looked at the clear blue sky outside, the image of Laura involuntarily surfaced in his mind. He quickly shook his head, trying to dispel the image while inwardly cursing himself.
How could he think of Laura when Dakota had been so good to him?
Still, he couldn't forget the events beneath the ruins. The memories were too deeply ingrained. The nervous concern Laura had shown him back then, along with her tears, were all genuine. One was his first love-the first person he learned to love seven years ago.
The other was a woman filled with kindness and gentleness who had saved his life 15 years ago. Cameron sighed deeply and leaned back.
His mind was in disarray.
Dakota returned with a bag of strawberries 15 minutes later.
"Cameron, here are the strawberries you wanted,” she said, entering the ward joyfully.
“Thank you, Dakota,” Cameron replied guiltily.
He couldn’t fathom why Dakota was so devoted to him.
“Don’t be so formal with me. You've helped me so many times. It's my turn to take care of you,” Dakota said with a smile.
She then headed to the bathroom to give the strawberries a rinse.
“Here, open your mouth.”
She held out a clean strawberry with her delicate fingers.
“It's so sweet!” Cameron exclaimed after taking a bite, his eyes lighting up.
The strawberry had a sweet taste, but it seemed even sweeter because Dakota fed it to him. “I'm glad you enjoy it.”
Dakota's smile deepened.
"Here."
She handed him another strawberry.
"You should eat as well. Don't just think about me.”
Cameron smiled gently.
"You're the patient. You should eat first.”
“Let's eat together. You bought and washed them, after all.”
"Okay, then I'll have one too.”
And so, they took turns eating the strawberries until the bowl was empty.
“Cameron, how many more days do you think you'll be in the hospital?” Dakota asked. “Probably about three more days.”
Cameron estimated.
"Alright, then I'll look after you for the next few days,” Dakota said with a soft smile.
“You don't have to go through all that trouble. My condition is not that critical anymore.
“You should return and rest up. Look, besides my bed, there's only a sofa in this ward, which isn't convenient for sleeping,” Cameron insisted.
He didn’t want to be a burden to Dakota.
“Then I'll sleep on the sofa,” Dakota suggested.
“The sofa isn't very comfortable.”
Cameron felt abashed.
“It's okay.”
Dakota didn't mind.
“But-"
“It's settled, Cameron. You've helped me a lot. Let me help you this time. If I leave you alone in the hospital, I won't be able to sleep well at home anyway.
“It's better for me to stay here and care for you.”

Dakota couldn't bear to leave Cameron alone in the hospital.
Even though there were nurses and caregivers, she felt her care would be more attentive. Moreover, she wanted to stay by Cameron's side.
