Camila looked genuinely confused. "He's just taking care of a sick person. What's so lovey-dovey about that?"
Jarvis just shook his head, thinking to himself, It's the subtle stuff that's the most sickeningly sweet! The man was this worried over a common cold. If something serious ever happened to her, he'd probably have a heart attack.
Benjamin Torres watched it all, a shadow crossing his hazel eyes. He already knew from the incident with Lavinia Roberts that Camila's boyfriend was no ordinary man. But now, seeing them together, he realized just how deep their connection was. It was a bond so strong that there was no room for anyone else to get in.
A sense of helpless bitterness washed over him. Since the Roberts family's downfall, the Torres family's standing had plummeted. The men in Camila's life were all exceptional, far beyond his reach. With so many people vying for her affection, what chance did he ever have? Accepting this reality, Benjamin pushed his own hopeless desires deep down, burying them where they couldn't surface again.
Perhaps it was Dennis's attentive care, but after two days, Camila's cold was gone. Her energy returned, and the healthy color was back in her cheeks.
Her parents, Melissa and Jerry, had noticed everything. When the couple walked in, Melissa couldn't help but say to Dennis, "You've been taking such wonderful care of her."
