Chapter 1381: Chapter 1381: I’m Not Afraid, I Just Don’t Want To

She knew that as long as Mrs. Pearce was present, she could not appear in front of Jose Pearce.

“Why do you always just stand here secretly watching? Why don’t you go in?”

Behind her, a clear voice rang out, startling Isabelle Wood, who turned around with a bit of fright, but relaxed slightly when she saw it was Camila Walker.

“It’s you…”

Camila Walker shifted her gaze, glanced in the direction of the hospital room door, and then back at Isabelle Wood.

“Why don’t you go in?”

“I, I have something else to attend to, I should be going.” Without responding to Camila Walker, Isabelle Wood put on her mask and passed by her, heading towards the other end of the long corridor.

Watching her hurried departure, Camila Walker did not stop her, waiting until her figure disappeared at the corner before she turned and pushed open the door to enter the hospital room where Jose Pearce was.

Upon seeing Mrs. Pearce’s figure, she seemed to understand why Isabelle Wood was unwilling to enter the room.

These days, she must have been secretly standing outside the hospital room, concerned about Jose Pearce’s condition.

Such a woman, yet Jose Pearce himself was kept in the dark.

As the room door was pushed open, both Mrs. Pearce and Jose Pearce at the hospital bedside simultaneously raised their gaze towards the incoming Camila Walker.

As soon as she was seen, Mrs. Pearce’s expression clearly soured, and she turned her head away, not bothering to acknowledge Camila Walker’s arrival.

Noticing her displeased look, Camila Walker was unfazed and instead turned her gaze towards Jose Pearce on the hospital bed.

“Are you feeling better?”

Looking at her, Jose Pearce smiled and nodded, “Yes, I heard your father was discharged today? Why did you come here then?”

He thought she wouldn’t come today.

Camila Walker gave a slight smile, “My parents just went back, I came to see how you’re doing. I’ll be leaving in a little while too.”

Hearing this, a sense of loss couldn’t help but rise in Jose Pearce’s heart.

However, the fact that she had come to see him despite being so busy should satisfy him.

“From now on, you don’t need to come anymore. We don’t welcome you here.” Mrs. Pearce, with her back to Camila Walker, was filled with dissatisfaction when she thought of the last incident, so her attitude towards Camila Walker naturally grew much colder.

Hearing his mother’s words, Jose Pearce’s face darkened with displeasure, about to speak when Camila Walker smiled and said, “Is that so? Then, Mrs. Pearce, does that mean I no longer need to take responsibility for your son?”

At that, Mrs. Pearce turned her head, abruptly standing up, her expression indifferent as she looked at her, “I would indeed like you to take responsibility. Weren’t you unwilling?”

Camila Walker smiled faintly, “I am grateful to your son for rescuing me so selflessly in that situation. I wonder, if it had been Isabelle Wood at that time, would he have done the same?”

Camila Walker said with a light smile while looking at Mrs. Pearce.

How would she deny the fact that she had once forced Isabelle Wood to leave in front of her own son?

Upon hearing the name Isabelle Wood, Mrs. Pearce’s face visibly soured, and she frowned while looking at Camila Walker, “What do you mean by that? Why bring up Isabelle Wood all of a sudden?”

“Is Mrs. Pearce afraid of hearing the name Isabelle Wood?” Camila Walker countered.

Mrs. Pearce was taken aback, her gaze slightly evasive, “Why would I be afraid to hear her name? That woman, while she was dating Jose, she was willing to sell her body for fame, completely disregarding my son. I’m not scared, I just don’t want to hear her name!”
