Kaleb stood frozen, his heart racing at the sight of Isabel lying on the ground. He instinctively lifted his foot, ready to rush to her side, but Reggie was faster, swooping down to lift her from the pavement. "Isal Isal" Reggie called out, his voice laced with concern.

"Reggie?" Kaleb blinked, surprised by Reggie's fully recovered face. Yet, just as quickly, his attention snapped back to Isabel.

Her complexion was ghostly, a thin layer of sweat glistening on her forehead. She weakly opened her eyes at the sound of Reggie's voice, murmuring, "Reggie. don't worry, I'm I'm fine."

"Fine? You look awful! I'm taking you to the hospital!" Reggie exclaimed, genuine worry etched on his features.

"Reggie!" Isabel grasped the fabric of Reggie's shirt, shooting him a subtle, pleading look.

"What?" Reggie gazed at Isabel in bewilderment. Before he could fully comprehend noticed her hand discreetly squeezing her waist.

Understanding her silent cue, Reggie quickly realized what she was trying to convey

"I really am okay. I probably just... lost too much blood back then, and my body is... a bit drained. It's nothing serious; the doctor said I just need some time to recover. It might take... seven or eight years, but I'll be fine," Isabel said, casting a deliberate glance at Eva, her eyes tinged with sadness.

Kaleb caught that look, and her words echoed relentlessly in his mind.

Her body was severely weakened; the doctor had warned her about blood loss and the need for years of

recovery.

All because of Eva

And because of him.....

No matter how hard he tried to appear indifferent, even a heart of stone has its vulnerabilities. The deep memories he shared with Isabel were impossible to ignore.

At that moment, Kaleb felt a pang of empathy, even a hint of pain, as he took a step closer to Isabel.

Just as he was about to reach her, Isabel looked up at Reggie. "Reggie, take me home. I want to rest." Kaleb instinctively frowned, his gaze fixed on her pale face.

The longer he stared, the deeper his frown became.

Okay, I'll take you home, Reggie said, gently lifting Isabel and turning toward Villa No. 7.

He opened the door and stepped inside.
