At first, Debora resisted the idea. However, as she became pregnant once again, a noticeable change occurred. Ryder always asked others to watch over her, fueled by his fear of another miscarriage.

As time passed, her belly swelled with the growing life within, and her demeanor grew softer.

No longer did she harbor the desire for an abortion; instead, she embraced the pregnancy with tenderness and care.

Could a child really change a person?

Ryder was lost in thought.

“If your child were to get sick and required sacrifice to save their life, would you be willing to make it?"

“I'll pay any price!" Ryder answered without hesitation.

“Likewise, Debora made a decision driven by her maternal instincts for the sake of her child. You refuse to believe it because you're too overwhelmed by grief. But she wholeheartedly held onto the hope that you would provide the best possible care for your little one.”

Ryder took the last sentence into his heart.

Maybe Debora indeed trusted him to take good care of their child.

At first, he refused to believe she was dead, so he vowed not to let the hospital go.

Ryder eventually calmed down.

Instead of continuing the farce, he left the hospital, cradling the child in his arms. Debora's lifeless body was also respectfully carried away, and preparations were made for her funeral.

Much to Camila's relief, Ryder chose not to continue stirring up trouble.

But just as she was about to leave the hospital, she saw someone waiting for her at the entrance.

Camila stopped in her tracks, surprised.

Isaac walked up to her, placed his hands on her shoulders, and drew her in close.

"What are you thinking about?"

Camila had assumed he had already departed, so she was surprised to see him waiting for her outside the hospital's entrance.

She inquired, “Don't you fear that Wynter will find you?"
