Chapter 141 Camilaâs Father
A man in his fifties walked in with a fruit basket in his hand. His handsome face looked somewhat
haggard, and his gaze appeared to be apologetic. Seeing the apologetic-looking man, Landon
asked in shock, âWho are you looking for?â âH-I'm looking for Camila.â The man raised his chin and
pointed at Camila, who was on the bed
The moment Camila saw Gael, her expression turned dark. âLandon, I donât know him. Get him out
of this room!â Startled, Landon gazed at Gael and asked doubtfully, âYou are?â âI'm her father.â
Landon finally understood the reason behind Camila's reaction. He was her father who trusted what
Lyla said and sent her to a foreign country. In that instant, Landonâs expression turned gloomy as
well. âCamila doesnât want to see you. Please leave!â Gael looked at Landon in a fawning manner
and said, âPlease let me say something to her. I'll leave after finishing my words.â Lying down,
Camila closed her eyes and said coldly, âI don't want to listen to it. I'm tired and have to sleep now!"
Taking a deep breath, her father directly walked into the room and placed the fruit basket on the
bedside table. Landon didn't try to stop him since the latter was Camilaâs father. Taking a seat by the
bed, Gael said sincerely, âCamila, I know that you're still resentful of me. I have been lied to all these
years and done many things that have hurt you. However, you should have told me about it earlier.â
Camila wanted to ignore him initially, but she realized that she couldn't take it anymore as she
opened her eyes suddenly and reprimanded, âAre you sure I didn't tell you about it? You never
listened to me! Do you care about me or even Mom at all? Your explanation and apology are like a
fan in the winter and a quilt in the summer-they're totally useless to me!â âI know you still blame
me. I didn't come here to ask for your forgiveness, but,â Before he could finish his words, Camila
interrupted, âYou just want to have peace of mind, don't you? You want to shift all the blame to
someone else, huh? Well, dream on!â Deeply hurt, she drew a deep breath and stared at him. âYou
had an affair with Leila Hope when you were still married. You're biased toward Lyla, so you sent me
to another country. Right after I returned to the country and met you, you slapped me without a
second thought. You were as unreasonable as before and have told me things a father shouldnât
have said to his daughter. I can forget all of that, but you never paid a visit to my mom for the past
seven years. To make your wife and daughter happy, you threw a grand party on my mom's death
anniversary. You were
not sorrowful at all. Were you so happy on my mom's death anniversary? Hmph, Gael Brooklyn, I will
never forgive you!â She said those words with reddened eyes and gritted teeth.
Gael opened his mouth slightly as he didnât expect that the party on the death anniversary of
Camila's mother to be the deepest pain in her heart. Taking a deep breath, he explained, âI forgot
that it was your mom's death anniversary. Since they had set a date for the wedding, I could only
agree to it.â âStop coming up with excuses!â Camila glared at him and snarled, âGet out!â Noticing
the resolution behind her gaze, Gael rose from the chair and said, âD-Donât be angry with me.
Please rest well. I'll take my leave now.â With that, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Staring at his figure, Camila suddenly realized that his originally sturdy body became somewhat frail
now as he tottered out of the room. She retracted her gaze and closed her eyes. All of a sudden, she
felt like she had been drained of all her energy.
As the door was closed and opened again, someone walked in. Thinking that it was Landon, Camila
covered her eyes with her arm and remained silent. Standing by the bed, Silas lowered his gaze and
stared at her. Hearing her conversation with her father from outside the room a moment ago, he
felt sorry for her and could empathize with her feelings.
