Seeing the director's positive attitude, Camila decided not to worry excessively.

She knew her best course of action was to meet the director's expectations.

She picked up her knife and fork, cut a piece of pizza, and tasted it.

The director asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Yes, it's delicious," Camila said with a nod.

Before meeting the director, Camila had been quite anxious. However, after their exchange, a sense of relief washed over her.

Once dinner was over, she took her leave. The director said, "Please, don't mention my health situation to anyone at the research institute."

He preferred not to burden others with his problems.

Nor did he want to be the subject of pity or concern.

Camila nodded her head.

She understood the director's feelings.

Instead of returning to the research institute, she didn't drive back there after getting in her car.

She headed to the grocery store instead.

It felt like ages since she had last been home so early, and she wanted to pick up some fruit.

At this time, there were a lot of people in the mall.

Many parents were shopping with their kids in tow.

Camila realized she had never visited this place with Isaac and their children.

She walked past a store full of baby products.

As a mom, she hadn't been very involved in her two kids' lives.

It was Isaac who usually shopped for the children's needs.
