“Trudy is dead."

"What?" Rowena exclaimed.

“Hush, keep your voice down. You'll wake Aldrin. He needs as much rest as he can get. I'm sure he's heartbroken right now."

“Isn't she in jail? How come she's dead?" Rowena could not believe it.

Given the current ambiguity of the situation, Camila chose not to provide any further details. "I don't know. Let's just wait until the investigation is complete."

Rowena nodded.

“Mom, please watch over Aldrin closely during the next few days,” Camila requested.

“Of course. I'll take good care of him."

Inside the ward, Aldrin was not asleep, unbeknownst to the two women. He had his eyes closed, but he was only pretending to be dozing off. It was because he did not want to talk to or even see Camila.

Last night, he sneaked out to visit Trudy, only to discover her lifeless body.

He took out his phone and played the video saved on it.

It was the footage of Trudy's death.

Just now, he asked Camila if Isaac was with her last night, and she said that he had been busy with work.

However, the man showed up at the place where Trudy's body was found.

There was a creak as the door was pushed open.

Aldrin slid his phone beneath the comforter as soon as he heard the door open.

He moved so quickly that neither Camila nor Rowena detected anything out of the ordinary.

Rowena took the bag of food from the table to the bedside table. "Are you hungry? Eat some breakfast, dear.”

She then proceeded to take out the containers of food she had prepared.

“I don't want to eat. I want to be alone," Aldrin replied.

His voice was devoid of emotion.

Rowena was about to convince Aldrin to at least eat something, but Camila chimed in, “Let him be, Mom."

Swallowing what she was about to say, Rowena nodded. the food here, then. Eat once you're hungry, okay?"

"LL just leave

When Aldrin did not respond, Rowena let out a sigh.
