He turned around and descended the staircase to check on their kids.

Dinner had arrived, but Camila hadn't shown herself. Thus, Rowena decided to call for her.

"She's unwell. Let her rest," Isaac intervened.

"Is she ill?"

Isaac affirmed with a muted "yes".

"Does she require medical attention? Has she taken medication?"

Rowena was worried about Camila's health, but then it dawned on her that Camila, being a doctor, could take care of herself.

She smiled. "You've had a long day. Let's have our meal first!"

Isaac lifted his son and proceeded to peel shrimps for him.

After dinner, he didn't ascend the staircase.

Instead, he remained downstairs with the children.

Once the children drifted off to sleep, he spent an extended duration alone in the living room.

Then he stood up and went upstairs.

Upon nudging the bedroom door open, he found the room steeped in darkness.

He toggled the switch.

Click.

The room was bathed in light instantly.

Camila was seated on the couch.
