“I miss you so much," she whispered, pressing her face against his chest.

Taking a moment to compose herself, she continued, her voice filled with Longing, “I know you're not heartless."

Camila had heard Jaylen's false claims about Isaac's reluctance to interfere with the total artificial heart project, knowing fully well that he was deliberately tarnishing Isaac's image.

Isaac's willingness to accept a woman he didn't love as his wife for the sake of their child spoke volumes about his sense of responsibility.

“I don't know why you suffer from insomnia, but I promise to do everything in my power to cure you," Camila vowed, standing up to gently tuck him in.

Reluctantly, she prepared to depart, aware of the risks associated with lingering in the ward for too long and arousing Alick's suspicion.

As a doctor, she understood the importance of maintaining appearances.

Stepping out of the room, Camila was immediately intercepted by Alick, who anxiously inquired, "How is he?"

“He's sound asleep. He should awake within the next 24 hours," she assured him.

Expressing his gratitude, Alick nodded and replied, "Thank you." “You're welcome. It's my duty." Camila responded with humility.

With that, she went about her work, looking forward to a date after her shift ended.

With time to spare before her scheduled meeting, she decided to make a detour to a local barber shop.

“Jane, your hair..." Jeff exclaimed, unable to hide his astonishment. The surprise on Jeff's face was evident as she entered.

The transformation of her once black and silky hair into a radiant golden hue, styled in an entirely new way had indeed caught him off guard. Camila, aware of the encounters with Isaac that awaited her in the future, had intentionally undergone that dramatic makeover to alter her appearance completely.

“I wanted to change my style," she explained, handing the menu to Jeff.

“Order whatever you want to eat. I'll cover the bill today. Thank you for your help."

A smile danced across Jeff's face as he replied, "We're all from Azmar. It's our duty to support one another." Leaning closer, he whispered to Camila, "Let me tell you, if my girlfriend wasn't from the Joviek family, I would never have come across such a shocking scandalous secret."

Curiosity piqued, Camila asked, "Would your girlfriend be upset if she found out you shared this with others?"

Jeff shrugged nonchalantly and replied, “She won't find out.” His gaze then fell upon Camila‘s new hairstyle, and he suggested, "Your hairdo reminds me of the locals in Faymoor. You should consider wearing cosmetic lenses and applying makeup to match your new look.”

“Good idea," Camila acknowledged, realizing that she needed to find ways to conceal her altered appearance. Jeff's suggestions proved invaluable to her plans.

Continuing their conversation, Jeff remarked, "You have an introverted and calm aura. It's different from the passionate and uninhibited women around here. Your previous hairstyle suited you and accentuated your natural beauty, scars notwithstanding."

Camila couldn't help but smile at the compliment.

“Are you praising me?" she asked playfully.

Without hesitation, Jeff responded, “Absolutely. I was mistaken about you before. I thought you..." His voice trailed off, overcome by remorse.

“I'm sorry."
