However, her actions hinted at a certain acquiescence. It was as if her silence confirmed Jaylen's assumption

His disappointment seeped into his words, tinged with confusion. "If you care for him so deeply, why did you leave? And if it's the scars on your face that held you back, there's always the option of plastic surgery after giving birth. It won't affect your appearance!"

“I left..." Camila's gaze met Jaylen's, her voice laden with a mixture of resignation and heartache. "Because he doesn't love me."

Jaylen's brow furrowed in disbelief, questioning whether his ears had deceived him. How could it be?

Isaac not Loving Camila seemed like an inconceivable notion.

It was just impossible.

Isaac had been the epitome of sorrow since Camila's passing. His heart was shattered by her departure.

How could he not love her?

Camila continued with her words laced with a bittersweet truth, "He was only with me because I bore his child, Joe. Though I loved him deeply, I refused to settle or force him to be with me. If he doesn't love me, why should I bind him with a child?"

With a sigh, she let the towel slip from her hands.

“It's getting late. I need to shower and go to bed."

Her words carried an implicit order for Jaylen to leave.

As he stared at her, he pondered over how Camila had come to the conclusion that Isaac didn't love her.

Could there have been a misunderstanding between them?

Surely, there must be some miscommunication at play.

“Why are you still here?" Camila's reminder snapped Jaylen back to reality, urging him to depart.

Regaining his composure, he fixed his gaze on her, a serious undertone lacing his words. "Get some rest."

He turned to leave after he finished his words.

If it was indeed a mistake, then he would allow it to be.

That might be the final opportunity bestowed upon him by fate.

Selfish or not, he knew he had to seize it.

Residing in Owston Motel in Faymoor, Jaylen woke up the next morning with the intention of buying breakfast for Camila. But as he exited his room, an encounter awaited him that threatened to shatter his composure, nearly causing laughter to burst forth uncontrollably.

With a frown, Alick asked, “Why are you laughing? What's wrong with you?"

Jaylen narrowed his eyes and looked closer at his face.

“What's wrong with your eye?" he asked.
