Chapter: 979
“You are a coward. You're always letting me go ahead and smoothen things.”

“Well, you can't blame me. You are more capable and skilled, are you not?" Willie said mockingly with a sly grin.

“Screw you!" Alick narrowed his eyes at him.

Alick then took a deep breath and walked in with Joe in his arms. As soon as he reached the door though.

“Get out!"

Isaac's voice boomed and awakened Joe from his fragile sleep.

“Waah... Waah... Mommy..." cried the child at the top of his Lungs.

Alick shook involuntarily and tried coaxing the baby. "There, there, stop crying, Joe." “Mommy..."

Alick held the baby in a very rusty way. He was clearly new to this. The more the baby wailed the more anxious he got.

"I don't know what to do?" Alick was in a panic.

“It's impossible that Isaac didn't hear Joe crying considering how loudly he's going at it. Yet, he didn't come out or say a word. Does he not care about the child anymore?"

“Maybe, it's just really hard for Isaac to digest the news," Alick answered to Willie, in an effort to be understanding.

“He was sad when Cathy died. But he wasn't like this..."

“Because this is different, Willie!" Alick cut in through gritted teeth. "To him, Cathy was dead more than ten years ago. He didn't Love his mother deeply. Granted, he was happy when he found out she was still alive, but they only spent a short amount of time together, and that was it. But you see, with Camila, it's very different. It runs deeper than a few moments spent together. Camila was the first woman Isaac loved," Alick explained, his voice heartbroken.

Willie sighed helplessly. He knew that Alick was right. They really needed to help Isaac come back to himself.

Willie paced back and forth in the corridor irritably.

“I mean, Joe has been crying so hard for so long that his voice is now hoarse. How can Isaac stay in there and act so indifferently to his cries? Doesn't he care about his son anymore?"

Alick suddenly Looked up at Willie and said, "I may have an idea."

"What technique?" Willie inquried in sheer excitement.

“Who is responsible for Camila's death?" Alick asked. His apparent lack of insight prompted Willie to question his intelligence as he confidently asserted, “Travis is behind all of this, of course."

Alick then asked what would happen if Travis tried to escape.

Willie reassured him saying that he would not let Travis have the chance to run away. However, before Alick could say anything else, Willie chimed in, threatening to break Travis' legs if he tried to flee.

Alick remained silent, waiting for Willie to calm down before suggesting that they consider allowing Travis to go free.

"He's fortunate that we're not ending his Life immediately. Now you're proposing we release him? Are you crazy?" Willie was unable to grasp Alick's intent.

Alick gave him an exasperated Look before he said, “Can you please just listen to me quietly? Stop cutting me off."
