Chapter 1366: Chapter 1366: Mrs. Pearce’s Request

Jose Pearce could be the best man, yet in Camila Walker’s heart, he was not a patch on Clayton Howard. If they were forced together, no one would be happy.

But Mrs. Pearce’s demands were so righteous, they left them speechless and without a ground to refute.

Her son indeed got into this predicament while saving their daughter, but could they really just blame Camila? It wasn’t all her fault, was it?

That Isabelle Wood, she should bear some responsibility too. If it weren’t for her, Camila wouldn’t have been pushed onto the roadway, and Jose Pearce wouldn’t have rushed into the middle of the road to save her.

Yet, when they tried to explain this, Mrs. Pearce maintained that even though Isabelle Wood caused the incident, it should still have been their daughter who got hit, and it had nothing to do with their Jose Pearce. Now, her son had lost a leg, all because he saved Camila.

Hearing this, the couple felt extremely helpless and could only wait for Camila to come and discuss the matter.

“She demands that since Jose Pearce was injured because of you, you ought to take care of him for the rest of his life,” Angela Reid finished, unable to help the gloom that overtook her as she looked down.

If they really had to follow Mrs. Pearce’s demands, their Camila’s fate would be too harsh!

Upon hearing these words, Camila Walker let out an incredulous light laugh.

Originally, Emily Walker had been worried that Camila might feel guilty and offer some compensation to Jose Pearce. Camila herself had also considered this but had decided that she could never be with Jose Pearce just because she felt guilty. To her surprise, his family actually made such an absurd request!

“How could this be possible? How can she make such a demand!?” Camila couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

She could compensate Jose Pearce in any other way, but she couldn’t be with him. In this world, apart from Clayton Howard, she could never fall in love with any other man.

Even if Clayton Howard were dead, even if they brought her the best man on Earth, she wouldn’t have the slightest interest.

She couldn’t go against her own heart and force a relationship with Jose Pearce.

Thinking about this, Camila Walker couldn’t help but stand up and look at her parents.

“I will go and talk to Mrs. Pearce!” She had to clarify things and have an open conversation with Jose Pearce.

As soon as she finished speaking, Camila was about to turn and leave.

“Camila.”

From the hospital bed, Baxter Walker called out to her just in time.

Camila turned her head to face her father.

She knew that perhaps her father thought Jose Pearce was a good man who could bring her happiness, and that was why he remained silent about the situation.

But whether one is happy or not, she was clearer on that than anyone else.

Together with Jose Pearce, neither of them could ever find happiness!

“Is that Jose Pearce really not comparable to Clayton Howard?” Baxter Walker looked up; even though he had initially admired Clayton Howard, the way he hurt his daughter made him angry and heartbroken.

As she looked at her father, Camila calmed down for a few seconds, and then she firmly said, “Dad, in my heart, no one can compare to Clayton Howard.”

“But he hurt you that much!” Baxter Walker was heartbroken!

“So what, I love him. Even if his actions have hurt me deeply, I still believe that no one in this world can measure up to him, nor can anyone take his place.”

Her words left Baxter Walker at a loss for words.

As much as they were pained by their daughter’s situation, they very well knew that emotional matters could not be forced.
