Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370: Let’s Have a Cup of Coffee Together

Such words, for a woman, are nothing but slander!

“Mother, have you had enough!?” Jose Pearce burst out. Perhaps this was the first time he roared at his own mother.

Mrs. Pearce turned her head; she knew her son liked this woman and feared her words might hurt her, but if she didn’t do so, how would Camila Walker yield?

“Jose, all that I’m doing is for you, don’t you understand!?”

“I can handle my own affairs, you don’t need to worry about them!”

“You handle them? How can you handle them? You’ve become like this because of her, but what about her? Does she show the slightest sympathy for you? If it were someone else, even out of sympathy, after knowing your intentions, they would compromise and be with you, right? At most, she might feel a little aggrieved, but the Pearce Family would hardly treat her unfairly, would we!?”

Mrs. Pearce spoke with righteousness, feeling that Camila Walker should indeed take on this responsibility!

Looking at his mother, Jose found himself somewhat at a loss for words for a moment.

If it were someone else, they might indeed feel obliged to take care of him for the rest of his life, but he knew too well that this woman could offer anything as compensation except to go against her heart or betray Leon Hayden!

After all, he had only lost a leg; she certainly didn’t need to spend the rest of her life as compensation, taking care of him out of duty, did she?

Thinking about this, Jose Pearce lifted his eyelids and took a glance at Camila Walker, his tone gentle, “Camila, you should go back first. Don’t mind my mother’s unreasonable demands.”

Although he also longed to be with her, not in this way.

Camila Walker looked up at the hospital bed and Jose, her expression calm, and then spoke softly, “I’m truly sorry, I…”

“You don’t need to say it; I understand,” Jose smiled, knowing all too well her feelings.

After one last glance at him, Camila Walker cast down her eyes and ultimately left the room with a face full of regret.

Watching her leaving silhouette, Mrs. Pearce was fuming with anger, but more than that, she felt heartache for her son.

“Jose, you clearly like her, so why not take this opportunity to keep her here–”

“Mother!” Without waiting for his mother to finish, Jose interjected with impatience, “If I were to force her to stay by my side, it would only make her grow more and more reticent and unhappy. Don’t you understand? She has a man she loves, and that man isn’t me!”

At these words, Mrs. Pearce was suddenly taken aback.

She has someone she loves? Wasn’t her ex-husband already dead?

Exiting Jose Pearce’s hospital room, Camila Walker walked along the hospital corridor, head bowed in deep thought, her mind filled with Mrs. Pearce’s words.

Suddenly, a figure appeared and blocked her path.

Looking down at the high heels before her, Camila paused for a moment, then raised her head, slightly surprised to see Isabelle Wood suddenly standing there.

Isabelle Wood had already taken off the sunglasses from her face, a somewhat sorrowful look in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Camila couldn’t help but be surprised.

In her impression, Isabelle Wood had always been an arrogant and overbearing superstar. When had she ever shown such an expression?

“Do you… have any time? Let’s have a cup of coffee,” Isabelle said, looking at her.

Camila realized that today, her tone was so sincere, even a bit pleading.
