Chapter 390
Camila was a bit puzzled by how nervous he seemed. She shook her head and said, "I didn't see anything. What's up?"
A strong sense of foreboding washed over Connor, like a tidal wave he could barely control. He locked eyes with Camila, his voice shaking as he asked, "Do you remember when that happened?"
"June 6th, the day before the SATS. I remember it clearly," Camila said. "I was riding my bike to buy some orange-flavored gumballs. On my way back, I saw a motorcycle wrecked on the side of the road, completely smashed up. I vaguely saw someone thrown into the lake. I rushed over, pulled the person out, and then biked to the nearest convenience store to call 911."
"June 6th..." Connor echoed, disbelief evident in his eyes.
Seeing Connor's unusual reaction, a wave of unease hit Camila. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Connor turned around and pulled Camila into a tight hug, burying his face against her.
Camila could hardly breathe from his grip, so she gently rubbed his head.
After what felt like an eternity, Connor finally spoke, his voice trembling, "Cami... do you know who you saved that day?"
"No idea," Camila replied. "I had spent all my money on the candies, so I went home to get more to pay back the store owner. By the time I got back to the scene, the ambulance had already arrived, so I didn't stay."
Connor took a deep breath, slowly lifted his head to look at her, and choked out, "That person was me."
Camila's eyes widened in shock. "What... you're saying that person was you?"
Connor nodded emphatically.
Camila froze, staring at him blankly. She couldn't reconcile the Connor standing before her with the
stranger she had pulled from then et
lake. Tears welled up in her eyes.

"How is that even possible...
Connor's eyes were also misty, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement and emotion. "It was me, Camila. You saved my life."
Camila lowered her head, tears silently falling onto Connor's forehead. "I never imagined the person I saved would be you."
Connor gently wiped the tears from her eyes, a tender smile forming on his lips. "Looks like our fate was sealed long ago."
Camila was still in shock, realizing
that destiny truly had its plans. If she hadn't saved him, she wouldn't have caught that fever, wouldn't have messed up her SATS, and wouldn't have met Connor... FindNovel

Suddenly, Connor lifted her up and gently laid her down on the bed. Before Camila could process what was happening, she was already lying down, her heart racing with a mix of nerves and excitement.
Then, everything went dark as he leaned over her, his lips meeting hers with familiar warmth. This kiss, more direct and passionate than any words, spoke volumes of their endless love.
The kiss deepened, growing more intense and lingering, as if they were trying to merge their souls. All their complex emotions melted into this profound kiss.
Camila responded with equal passion, both of them wanting to hold onto each other forever, never letting go.
When Camila finally grew tired, Connor held her close, gently soothing her until she drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly, a cold look flashed in Connor's eyes.
Haylie had deceived him for so many years!
