The Lipstick Mark on the Collar
The surgery went on for almost eight hours and ended at over ten in the evening.
During this time, Camila stood before the operating room without food or drink. Her legs went numb.
Finally, the door opened.
Dewitt walked out looking exhausted. He took off his mask and told Camila that the surgery was a success.
Camila finally loosened up when she heard that.
Meanwhile, she felt her knees going weak and all had turned dark before her eyes. She trembled and almost fell before Dewitt caught her.
“Are you alright?” asked Dewitt nervously with concern in his
eyes.
“I’m okay. Just a little dizzy.” Camila tried to push Dewitt away but lost all her strength. Therefore, she could only press herself against his chest.
Her head was spinning. Camila dared not move for fear that she could throw up.
Dewitt hurriedly undid a few buttons on Camila’s shirt so that she would feel better.
There were only two of them in the hallway. Camila was in Dewitt’s arms, while the latter looked down at her with a

Maxwell, who was standing in the stairwell, coincidentally caught sight of this.
He learned from his grandfather that Gemma had an
operation today and eventually came after he hesitated for a long time. Maxwell did not expect to see this.
His knuckles turned white as he made a fist.
But Maxwell didn’t say a word.
He turned to leave.
However, he marched forward so fast that he bumped into a
woman in a white coat.
“Are you blind?” Chloe was about to go mad before she saw Maxwell’s exceedingly handsome face, although the look on his face was a little scary.
“You are… Starling?” Chloe had seen Maxwell’s picture when Raven showed her.
She just thought that the picture was photoshopped.
Otherwise, how would he be better looking than most actors? Now Chloe realized it was real.
“I don’t know you.” Maxwell did not like being hit on.
“Wait, aren’t you Mr. Gideon’s grandson?” Chloe stopped Maxwell and introduced herself, “I am Chloe Laxton, Raven’s niece, and I am a doctor at this hospital. My aunt told me that your grandpa was sick, and I went to check on him just now. You were not there.”

Maxwell thought for a while and remembered that Raven mentioned she had a niece who was an M.D.
Maxwell’s reaction was cold, making Chloe a little embarrassed.
In her mind, Chloe was outstanding in terms of looks and education. She did not expect a mere programmer to look down on her.
“I heard my aunt say you are looking for a girlfriend?” Chloe said, a little contempt in her voice. After all, Maxwell was already 28.
“Sorry, I’m married,” said Maxwell coldly.
“What? Already?” Chloe felt awkward.
She remembered that Raven just sent her the picture last week, but she only had Dewitt in her heart and did not consider anyone else.
But how could Maxwell already be married?
Chloe immediately got jealous even though she was looking down on Maxwell a minute ago.
“Is your wife better than me?” Chloe asked.
“Achoo!”
The strong smell of Chloe’s perfume made Maxwell uncomfortable.
“Sorry, but I have something to do.” Maxwell was allergic to perfume and did not understand why a doctor wore perfume. Shouldn’t doctors smell like disinfectant?

Chloe’s face darkened in rage seeing Maxwell leave in disgust.
On the other hand, Dewitt carried Camila into the lounge and poured her a glass of warm water.
Camila finally got better after a while.
Dewitt told her nurses were looking after Gemma tonight, and Camila could go home and sleep.
Camila hadn’t gone home for a week and hadn’t taken a shower. So she agreed to let Dewitt drive her home.
Camila made herself a bowl of soup as she got home. Then
she had a shower.
It was almost one in the morning as she walked out of the bathroom.
Maxwell came home at that moment.
He was in a daze as he saw Camila come out of the shower.
“Why are you home?” Maxwell asked.
“From tonight on, there will be someone taking care of Grandma. They don’t need me there now.”
“Then…”
“You…”
The two spoke at the same time.
“Yours first,” said Maxwell as he took off his tie and threw it
on the sofa.

Camila noticed a red mark on Maxwell’s collar which looked like a lipstick mark.
Her heart sank.
Camila hadn’t realized that she had already seen herself as his wife in front of Maxwell.
Like most wives, she got insanely jealous when she found the small evidence.
The only difference was that Camila could not ask for an explanation and could only swallow her anger.
“Will you sleep in the study tonight?” asked Camila coldly.
Maxwell’s hands paused as he took off his clothes. He knew Camila was kicking him out.
“I’ll go after the shower,” said Maxwell, although he didn’t want to do it.
Then he continued undressing with a straight face.
He threw the pieces of clothing on the sofa one by one.
Camila did not expect Maxwell to undress himself before her. She immediately turned around.
Maxwell did not go into the bathroom until he was wearing nothing but underpants.
Camila was standing at the door, her back at Maxwell.
Maxwell got behind her and suddenly whispered into her ear, “Are you planning to hop in the shower with me?”

With his warm breath on her skin, Camila’s heart started pounding. She quickly moved aside.
Maxwell walked into the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water running, Camila walked to the sofa and found that shirt. She looked at the red mark over and over and made sure that it was a lipstick mark.
And the shade was popular among young women.
Was Maxwell cheating?
Camila’s hands trembled as she grabbed the shirt. She didn’t even have this feeling when she found a used condom in Samson’s room.
She was only mad at that time, but she was nervous and unsettled now.
Was this the difference between being legally married and
not?
Camila could no longer think straight. She could not believe that Maxwell was such a player, but if not, how could one explain the lipstick mark?
Camila sat in the pile of Maxwell’s clothes and planned to directly ask after Maxwell got out.
Maxwell took a quick shower. He got out after a short while.
Camila turned to look at him as she heard the door open. Maxwell was wearing a small towel that barely covered the private part.
“That is my towel you are wearing,” said Maxwell through

clenched teeth.
Camila felt utterly embarrassed.
But she could not help but check on every piece of muscle of Maxwell’s body.
He had such an amazing figure!
Camila suddenly thought of a saying: I was a prude before I met you, but now I just want to be a slut.
“Does that doctor have a body nicer than mine?” Maxwell asked abruptly.
Camila was dumbfounded. She turned around in
embarrassment.
“I don’t know what his body looks like. You think everyone likes to show off like you?”
Maxwell sneered and walked to the sofa to pick up the shirt. Only then did he notice the lipstick mark on the collar.
