Upon observing the love bite adorning Morrison's neck, Forrest's affection for Laura lay extinguished.

The prospect of reuniting with Laura remained forever out of reach for him.

Even if Laura reconciles with him in the future, he would not accept her.

In the room.

“Laura, what has befallen your voice?" Camila expressed a hint of concern.

She perceived Laura's demeanor to be somewhat unusual!

Laura asserted, "I have a query for you."

"There's no need to be like this. Remember we're friends. If you require assistance, simply inform me. I'll lend aid within my capacity," stated Camila.

"I... I want you to raise my daughter. You can entrust her to Forrest if you wish..."

Laura's statement stemmed from her unequivocal awareness that Forrest was the father.

The baby would experience a profound joy growing up under Forrest's care.

Camila furrowed her brow as she uttered, “Laura... Did you have a fight with Morrison? Was it related to the child?"

"No, he... An incident occurred involving him. I am no longer able to care for the child."

The voice from the opposite end faltered, revealing Laura's evident struggle to maintain composure.

Yet, despite her efforts, her tone remained raspy.

Tears streamed down her face.

Camila's concern deepened.

What could have been so grave that Laura couldn't continue caring for her child?

“Laura..."

“Can you assure me?" Before Camila could conclude, Laura interjected.
