“Your mother has woken up.” Camila instantly brightened. “Really?”

“Yes, | was just about to call you. Now, go and sit with her.” “Thank you.”

Camila tightened her grip around her mother’s hand. “Mom. How do you expectto carry on if you are not here?”

Rowena had suffered a difficult Labor when she gave birth to Camila. As a result, her body grew weak, and the doctor had informed them that she wouldn’t be able to conceive another baby. If it hadn’t been for that, Marvin would have probably never strayed from their marriage.

Camila put up a brave front and pretended that nothing was wrong. Thankfully, Rowena nodded and let her guard down. She looked exhausted and was already dozing off.

Camila stayed with her mother until she fell asleep.

It was already dark when she coutside.

It was a balmy evening, but Camila felt cold. Her problems weren't over yet.

Specifically, she still had to face Isaac.

She couldn't hide from him forever. She made up her mind and took out her phone. Camila was willing to do whatever he wanted to ask of her, if it meant that she could keep her job.
