Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 534

Under Camila Davis’s steady gaze, her composure finally slipped.

She sounded a little lost as she murmured, “I… I’ve really tried to hold it together, but I never thought… Sarah, I know I shouldn’t feel this way.”

Hearing the tremble in her friend’s voice, Sarah Brown felt her heart twist.

Especially seeing Camila looking so cautious and vulnerable—God, it just made her ache for her best friend.

She gave Camila’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “There’s no ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ about it. Honestly, falling for Dennis Williams? That’s totally normal.

Think about it—when you’re at your lowest, and someone just swoops in, sweeps you off your feet, and pulls you out of that darkness? Even the calmest person would feel something. We’re only human, right? We have feelings, desires… If I were in your shoes, I’d probably fall for him too.

Camila, loving someone isn’t a crime. You’re incredible—you deserve every good thing life can offer.

No one falls into the same ditch twice. You’ve moved on from a bad marriage; you have every right to chase a new happiness.

You’ve got to stop thinking you’re not enough or that you don’t deserve this. You’re the head of the med school now! Most people could only dream of achieving what you have. You’re amazing.”

After all these years, Sarah knew Camila inside and out.

Sure, Camila’s insecurity had a lot to do with Dennis Williams’ status and reputation, but Sarah never saw her friend as anything less than exceptional.

Like she said—a woman like Camila could have anyone she wanted.

And Camila knew that, no matter what, Sarah would always have her back.

So, instead of arguing, she shifted the topic, a little worry creasing her brow. “Honestly, I’m more worried about Lillian right now. You have no idea how long it took me to calm her down last night.”

She glanced at Sarah, uncertainty in her eyes. “Do you think Lillian will come around?”

Sarah, being on the outside, saw things more clearly. She offered a gentle smile. “Give her time. I’m sure she will. And don’t worry, I won’t mention Mr. Williams around her at all. She’ll let it go eventually…”

Even as she said it, Sarah’s heart ached for both her goddaughter and her best friend.

She’d seen first-hand how much joy Dennis Williams brought into their lives. If only things could work out between them—it would be perfect.

But sometimes, fate just doesn’t cooperate.

She noticed the tired lines on Camila’s face—clearly, she hadn’t slept well after everything.

“Stop overthinking it,” Sarah insisted. “Go get some sleep. I’ll look after Lillian for you.”

Camila didn’t argue. After a quick shower, she crashed in bed, expecting to toss and turn—but she’d been on a plane for hours and up all night. Exhaustion finally won out.
