Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 470

After she arrived, Camila followed Mr. Morris up to the stage for the opening remarks.

Camila Davis spoke with a polite and genuine tone, her voice gentle yet confident. “Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy lives to come to my birthday party tonight.

Honestly, I was completely surprised—Mr. Morris really pulled one over on me with this whole thing...

It’s truly an honor to see you all here!

I hope you’ll all relax tonight, eat well, drink plenty, and just treat this as a regular family or friends’ gathering.”

The guests chuckled and smiled at her words. A few of the older attendees leaned in together, whispering their admiration. “That Camila sure knows how to charm a crowd.”

Most of them were at the party out of respect for Mr. Morris, of course.

But everyone knew that Camila Davis was an impressive young woman in her own right—soon to inherit the legacy of the prestigious medical school.

Really, they had no ulterior motive; being here was a way to repay old debts and secure goodwill for their own families’ futures.

After all, who could guarantee they’d never need a doctor? If, heaven forbid, any of them found themselves facing an illness no one else could treat, Camila—Mr. Morris’s sole protégé—would be their best hope…

Unaware of these quiet calculations, Camila finished her speech and stepped back, making room for Mr. Morris at the podium.

Eric Morris looked especially cheerful that night.

Supported by Camila, he made his way forward and grinned at the crowd. “I won’t take up too much of your time. I just want to say thank you.

My Camila here—she’s gone years without a proper birthday. I wanted tonight to be special, to show her just how much she matters.

All of you being here… it means the world to her. And this old man is grateful, too.

So let’s raise a glass or two—enjoy yourselves!

And while I have you all here, I’d like to make an announcement.

From this day on, my beloved student, Camila Davis, will officially take the reins as head of the medical school!”

Patrick, Jerry Davis, Melissa George, Arthur Wilson, and Sarah Brown all looked toward Camila, beaming with pride.

Camila was a little stunned to be stepping up at that moment, but not entirely surprised. More than anything, she felt deeply moved.

She understood—her mentor was using this moment to show everyone just how much she was valued.

After his speech, Mr. Morris handed Camila a polished oak box.

Inside were the official seal of the medical school and all the documents transferring its assets and responsibilities.

By handing her this box, Mr. Morris was, in effect, giving her the entire school.

Mr. Morris smiled warmly at her. “Hold onto this. It’s my gift to you.”

Everyone knew about the medical school’s vast resources. When the box appeared, the chat in Bruce’s livestream went wild.
