Mistaken Marriage, Unexpected Love

Chapter 35

“| don’t know,” the nurse said with a smile. “I was just asked to relay the message. | suppose you'll find out when you get there.” Camila sighed.

“ALL right, I'll be on my way.”

She stood from her desk and trudged to the hospital director’s office. She rapped at the door twice before letting herself in.

sir.

The director was going over some documents on his desk. He put them down upon Camila’s arrival, then leaned back against his seat with a frown. He wasn’t sure how to approach the matter at hand, but he knew that he needed to get it over with.

“Camila, did you offend Isaac Johnston in any way?” “Why are you asking me that, Sir?” Camila felt a deep sense of foreboding.

The director appeared reluctant to say his next words. “I’m sure you understand what it means to be banned from the medical profession. I’m afraid that your career as a doctor is as good as ruined. No medical institution will dare to hire you from this point onward.”

Camila froze in shock. To say that she was blindsided would be a gross understatement . Her fists clenched and unclenched. “Sir, you know how much | love my job. | can’t Lose it.”

“Well... Even if | wanted to keep you around, | am not in a position to defy Mr. Johnston’s orders.” The director did feel sorry for Camila. He had always found her work commendable, and he greatly appreciated her attitude and expert skills.

Sadly, he didn’t have the power to let her stay.

“If you want to keep being a doctor, you will need to find Isaac and apologize to him properly. That would be better than Losing your job, right?” The director was very gentle and patient.

“|...” Camila started, only to trail off.

How could a sincere apology solve this when Isaac was already prejudiced against her since the beginning?

It wasn’t as simple as her almost destroying his treasured memento; he had hated her since they had been forced into this sham marriage.

For all she knew, he could be using last night's incident to force her to divorce.

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “I understand.”

“Go and figure things out,” the director said. Camila returned to her office in a daze.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Even if she begged Isaac on her knees, she was certain that he would not relent. The man was dead set on divorcing her, one way or another.

But she had signed that guarantee note with Robin. Divorce was off the table now. She didn’t want to break her promise to the old man.

The stress was getting to her, and Camila felt her stomach roil. She had the urge to throw up, but thankfully, it only lasted for a brief second.
