She was unsure if her affection was growing.

She had taken the initiative to seek him out this time.

Trust was a rare commodity for her, and Aldrin was the only one she could turn to.

“I understand. Reach out if you need anything," Aldrin said, his smile gentle.

Laura nodded in agreement.

Harland made his way to the hospital, where his wound was promptly treated by a doctor.

The sight was startling.

Yet he had no time to think of himself. He was aware that the situation must be grave.

Otherwise, Camila wouldn't have acted so, and his aunt wouldn't have offered such advice.

Only finding Jaylen could lead him to the truth.

As he couldn't reach Jaylen, he was resolved to locate his assistant by any means necessary.

“Where has he gone? Neither can I reach him nor find him," he inquired with palpable anxiety.

The assistant was reluctant to reveal anything. “This isn't your concern. Let it be."

Jaylen was certain that Isaac would seek him, yet he didn't flee, nor did he send anyone to guard him.

He understood that Isaac wouldn't kill him.

It wasn't that Isaac lacked the courage.

He was simply held back by certain concerns.

He feared that news of what happened to Camila might become public.

The assistant handled this delicate issue.

If Jaylen didn't return, he would release those photos and videos on the internet.
