Camilla’s sharp scream, which was full of pain, echoed through the doorway. When Bennett pulled her away, she collapsed to the floor, her body completely drained, and she was still crying uncontrollably.

Calvin, who had been knocked to the side, looked at her lying on the floor and suddenly grabbed his chest. “Why… why does my heart hurt so much?”

Quinlyn turned and saw Calvin’s face covered in tears. It was the heart’s power at work.

After a brief hesitation, Calvin took a step forward, extending his hand to Camilla. “Ma’am, please get up. Sitting on the floor like this isn’t good for your back.”

His voice, still going through its changes, sounded a little deeper. The soft tone made everyone nearby look up at him in shock. Their eyes were full of disbelief.

“How… how do you know my back hurts?” Camilla’s voice trembled as she shakily reached up to touch his face. “Are you… are you the kid?”

Without thinking, Calvin took a step closer, letting her thin, rough hand rest on his cheek. He didn’t mind that it was dirty or rough. Quinlyn responded quietly, “Yes. I’m Calvin Meyers. Nice to meet you.

His voice was calm, almost poetic, like someone who had spent their whole life reading books.

But those simple words made Camilla break down into tears again. “Gregory used to introduce himself like that, too. You’re just like him. Why…”

At that moment, Camilla and her husband felt the pain of losing their son all over again. Calvin, with his tone and expression só similar to Gregory’s, stabbed right at their hearts.

Camilla’s hand dropped to her side, and she held her head, not wanting to face it.

“Ma’am,” Calvin said softly.

“Please don’t say anything. I beg you,” Camilla cried.

Calvin stood off to the side, not knowing what to do, and a strange sadness filled him. The pressure in his chest kept building, making it hard to breathe.

Just then, another figure came out of the hallway. A woman in a beige dress and high heels, elegant and poised, but walking slowly, as if each step weighed a ton.
