Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 841

Camila had just arrived at the hospital a few minutes ago. Melissa was being wheeled out from her X-ray. A short while later, the results came back. “It’s not a serious fall,” the doctor said. “There are no broken bones, just a sprain. She’ll need to rest at home and avoid putting any strain on her back.”

Camila nodded, examining the X-rays herself. It wasn’t severe, but her mother’s back had been weak from years of hard work. This fall would mean a long recovery. “Thank you, Doctor. We understand.”

She was about to go get the prescription filled when she saw them—the Smiths, along with a newly arrived Jordan and Nathan Gates.

Barbara hadn’t seen her yet and was complaining loudly to Jordan. “She’s definitely faking it. I barely touched her, and she just threw herself on the ground. She’s just trying to get attention, making up a story so we can’t see Lillian. It’s a trick, Jordan. Don’t fall for it. People from her background will do anything for money…”

Camila was already furious about her mother’s injury. Hearing Barbara not only deny responsibility but also slander her mother sent her into a rage. In the past, she had respected Barbara as her mother-in-law and had tolerated her endless criticisms. But now, they were no longer family, and Barbara had dared to harm her mother and spread lies.

Camila would not tolerate it any longer.

Her face a mask of cold fury, she strode forward, grabbed Barbara by the collar, and shoved her to the ground.

“Ah!” Barbara, completely caught off guard, shrieked as she fell. The pain was sharp, but her anger was sharper. “Who did that?”
