Meanwhile, Camila sat in Isaac's car.

“I would like to return to the hotel," she stated.

Isaac's expression grew somber.

Camila elaborated, "I have pressing matters to attend to tomorrow. Furthermore, I prefer to keep my departure from the hotel a secret..."

“Very well, let us return to the hotel. I shall accompany you," Isaac acquiesced.

Initially, Camila intended to decline his offer, as she had her own responsibilities to address. However, Alick's phone buzzed, interrupting her intended refusal.

Alick answered the call, and no one could discern the contents of the conversation. His brows furrowed in concern. After ending the call, he glanced back through the rearview mirror and announced, “Mr. Johnston, we have some bad news!"

Isaac's brow furrowed with displeasure as he inquired, "What troubles you?"

His frown was indicating his unwillingness to entertain anything at that moment.

Alick hesitated, casting a glance at Camila with a tinge of embarrassment .

Camila, perceptive as ever, instantly grasped the situation

“Is there a matter I shouldn't be privy to? Or might I suggest you pull over, drop me off on the roadside, and I'll take a taxi for myself?" Alick swiftly explained, "No, it's simply..."

“Speak up!"

Isaac's patience was wearing thin

He had no desire to seem as though he was hiding anything from Camila Aware of the fragile trust between them, Isaac endeavored to avoid even the appearance of secrets

If it weren't for his remarks, Camila probably wouldn't have fought so hard to get away from him.

So, he did his best to dispel any suspicion that he was keeping anything from her.

Alick explained, "Simpson Psychiatric Hospital just called and relayed that..."

In truth, it wasn't a matter of great secrecy, but rather the nature of the subject that made Alick uneasy about discussing it in Camila's presence.

The more he hesitated, the more it seemed like a clandestine affair. Camila's curiosity was piqued.

She fixed her eyes on him, eagerly anticipating his forthcoming words Isaac's face simultaneously gradually grew cold with his delay.

Alick steeled himself and said, "Robin sent a woman to Travis's room, all in an attempt to preserve the family name. The hospital's director called earlier, inquiring whether you would consent to this woman's presence in Travis's quarters."

Isaac sneered, a hint of mockery lacing his features

It was uncertain whether he derided Robin's audacity or the preposterousness of the suggestion itself

Alick also found it utterly ludicrous that someone could concoct such a suggestion.
