Chapter: 1797
As the clock neared seven, the ward door opened. Camila looked up, expecting Alick.

Instead, it was Isaac who entered.

Camila looked at him with a blank expression for a moment before abruptly standing up.

She glanced over at Annis, lying on the bed, worried that she might have made noise.

Thankfully, Annis was still asleep. Tiptoeing to Isaac, Camila whispered for him to leave quietly.

Once he had gone and she had softly closed the door behind her, Camila threw her arms around Isaac, holding him close. "You're back," she murmured.

Isaac gently patted her back, his voice calm. “I rushed back as soon as I heard you cry. What's wrong?"

“Something bad happened." Tears welled up in her eyes. "It's my fault..

When Isaac had entered earlier, he had seen Alick.

Alick was sitting in a corner of the corridor, looking utterly exhausted, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"They were after me, but Annis told them that she's Camila because she was scared they'd catch me..."

Camila sobbed into Isaac's shoulder. Isaac just held her, providing comfort and support.

It took a while, but she eventually calmed down.

With tears still in her eyes, she looked up at him. “What am I going to do?"

He tenderly wiped her tears away, asking softly, "How bad is it?"

Camila swallowed, her throat dry from not drinking water.

"She was... She was raped by several people... She lost her baby because of it..."

Isaac had sensed that things were pretty serious.

But when he heard about it from Camila in person, he was still shocked. His expression shifted to a frown, then to a look of anger.

His anger stemmed from more than just the danger to Camila.
