§Bo007

"Camila is no longer among the living; he won't believe you," Travis interjected, dismissing the idea as foolish.

“No, he will believe me. Isaac is undoubtedly the only person in this world who still thinks Camila could be alive. I told him that I possess knowledge of her whereabouts and I will offer that information in exchange for your freedom," Lilith explained, convinced of the plan's viability.

After all, so far, so good!

Travis laughed bitterly.

“You are incredibly naive. While he may desire Camila to be alive, he is not dumb. I've heard that he hasn't cremated or buried her body yet. He has preserved it, and once he conducts a DNA test, he will ascertain his doubts. Your plan is doomed to fail!" Lilith was unaware that Isaac had not laid Camila to rest.

Initially brimming with confidence, she now asked, "What should we do now?"

“Lilith, you can't save me. It's better if you distance yourself," Travis urged.

“No, I have to help. I won't abandon you," Lilith asserted.

Lying on the ground, she could only catch glimpses of him through the

“Thank you." He vowed to treat her well if he managed to escape.

“Isaac will be convinced of her demise after examining Camila's body. However, if he doesn't, we still have a chance,“ Lilith said, gazing at him. "Don't give up. Make sure you eat properly.”

Travis observed Lilith intently. She never wavered. Had he given up on himself too soon, surrendering to hopelessness?

“ALL right, I will follow your lead," he acquiesced.

Seated on the sofa, lost in thought, Isaac had Joe lying across his legs, playfully engrossed with his toy dog

He never harbored doubts about Camila's demise. His subordinates reported that when they rescued her, her injuries were severe, rendering her unrecognizable. Subsequently, he identified the body they found as hers.

But was that truly Camila's body?

Perhaps, just perhaps, there was room for doubt!

Picking up his phone, Isaac dialed a number, patiently waiting for the call to connect.

After a while, the call was connected.

“Go and do something for me," Isaac said on the phone. "Find a reliable person who could test the DNA of the corpse."
