He preferred to steer clear of potentially deceptive characters.

“Okay. I'm on it," Forrest said eagerly.

He was afraid that any delay might lead Brewster to flee.

Meanwhile, Isaac returned to his room, where he was met by Camila's inquisitive eyes.

"Who is it?" Camila asked.

"He's here for money," Isaac responded without hesitation.

"Then give it to him. His parents once saved your life," Camila reminded him.

She was forever grateful to Brewster's parents for doing him a favor.

Indeed, Isaac had depended on their assistance to escape a perilous situation.

Camila never let him forget that.

"I know," Isaac acknowledged with a nod.

He was not reluctant to give Brewster the money.

He knew he could always make more.

The amount Brewster needed was trivial to him.

Yet, Isaac's primary concern was that someone might exploit Brewster's youth.

Camila didn't say anything else. She believed Isaac would have his reasons for making the decision he made.

She turned her attention to preparing for their trip with the children.

Packing for two kids required careful consideration, as children couldn't adapt as readily to new environments as adults.

After two days of meticulous preparation, Camila and Isaac spent the next three days at home with their children.

Almost a week passed before they were ready to embark on their journey.
