Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 174

Camila Davis gave her best friend a gentle tug when she saw the look on her face.

But Sarah Brown didn’t budge an inch—she was frozen, staring so hard her eyes might as well have popped out.

Camila could only resist the urge to rub her forehead.

Who was it that swore she’d never fangirl over anyone so much she couldn’t look away?

Right then, Dennis Williams walked over, carrying Lillian in his arms.

The little girl spotted Camila and chirped, “Mommy! Sarah!” in her sweet, squeaky voice.

Sarah didn’t even blink.

Camila found it hilarious and hurried over.

Once she got close, she noticed Lillian’s hair was a little damp, her cheeks flushed like she’d just run a marathon.

“What happened, kiddo? You’re all sweaty,” she asked, scooping Lillian into her arms.

Dennis explained from beside her, “She was running around the backyard with Lightning and Lightning’s mom. Got a bit too excited, I think.”

Camila let out a laugh. “Well, sounds like you had a blast, huh?”

Dennis nodded, his voice calm and deep, “She’s fine now. Tonight’s little hypnosis session helped her forget all the scary stuff. Nothing to worry about—as long as there’s no repeat. Otherwise, the next time could be much worse.”

“I promise I’ll be extra careful! This was all my fault—I should’ve been watching her better,” Camila said earnestly. She looked up at him, “Thank you so much, Mr. Williams. You helped with her treatment, played with her, too. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without you tonight.”

Just thinking about the accident made her heart race with anxiety all over again.

Dennis just shrugged it off. “It’s okay. It’s over now. No need to beat yourself up, Ms. Davis.”

He checked his watch. “It’s getting late. I’ll be out of town for the next few days. If there’s an emergency, call Aaron.”
