A One Night Stand With My Boss

Camila asked Connor softly, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Mmm-hmm," Connor replied with a pitiful look. "My mom knew I was home resting but didn't think to bring me any food."

"She probably thought you were sleeping," Camila chuckled, picking up her phone to order some food. "I'll get us some delivery." Connor grabbed her phone. "I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat," Camila insisted, retrieving her phone from his grasp. "Anything in particular you feel like having?"

"Whatever you order is fine by me," Connor said, sitting down beside her, quietly waiting.

Camila gently tapped Connor's forehead, then seriously began to choose from the delivery options.

The lunch arrived quickly, and Connor ate earnestly, continuously praising the food Camila had ordered.

Then it was visiting time.

Camila changed into a sterile suit and pushed the door open to enter. The hospital room was so quiet that only the ticking of the machinery could be heard, and the air was filled with an indefinable sense of oppression.

Camila walked over to her mother's side, quietly observing her calm and pallid sleeping features, which looked much improved from before.

She held her mother's hand and whispered, "Mom, you need to get better soon."

She sniffled, managing a smile. "Mom, you know what? Connor has been really good to me, taking care of me. You don't need to worry about me. Just get better, and we'll all be fine. From now on, it's going to be good days ahead."
