Chapter: 2008
In his twilight years, Robin's mental decline and estrangement from Isaac precipitated the Johnston family's decline.

Logically, Camila should have attended Robin's funeral as his granddaughter-in-law, fulfilling her duty to show filial piety.

However, she was conspicuously absent, summoned instead to court.

Kameron lingered in a comatose state, Tyrese suing Camila not for financial gain but to hold her accountable in the event of Kameron's passing, seeking her admission of fault and subsequent compensation.

Throughout the proceedings, Camila remained silent, and her lawyer fielded all questions on her behalf.

Camila's legal team had meticulously prepared, thoroughly investigating the incident and scrutinizing the individuals involved.

The staff of the institute rallied behind Camila, recognizing her true intention: to save a life.

The Lawyer argued passionately to Tyrese, “If I were in your position, I'd express gratitude to Ms. Haynes. Your father is alive today because of her quick decision and courage to perform the surgery. Without her intervention, he might not have survived."

Tyrese countered, "No, you misunderstand. Our contention is that the surgery she performed didn't adhere to regulations. She's not a family member; what authority did she possess to make such a decision?"

“Indeed, Ms. Haynes isn't a relative by blood, but her bond with the patient is profound. If we adhere strictly to your stance, should we await family consent before administering CPR to a person collapsing on the street? Consider, would there be sufficient time? And if the individual perishes, would you censure us for failing to act? I implore you, what holds greater value-adhering to procedures or preserving human life?"

“Regulations are meant to guide, not to sacrifice lives."

"This is just your excuse, isn't it? Would the patient have certainly perished without the surgery?" questioned the plaintiff's attorney.

The defense's lawyer brought forward both evidence and witnesses.

Ernesto from the hospital expressed his willingness to testify on Camila's behalf.

Had there been no surgery at that crucial time, the patient surely would have perished.

Included in the evidence were test results, videos of the surgical procedures, and records of the patient's medical history.

"You can let experts review these. Wasn't the patient in a life-threatening state? Without our intervention, the patient would certainly be deceased by now."

Tyrese murmured to the attorney, who acknowledged with a nod.

Unable to counter the robust defense, the plaintiff's side was left speechless.

“These may be facts, yet was her behavior during the operation in line with regulations?" they challenged.
