Camila wrapped her arms tightly around Connor's waist, pressing herself against his back — a back that represented endless comfort and solid support for her.
In that fleeting moment. all her fears and anxieties vanished, leaving only trust and reliance on Connor. Connor gripped the motorcycle’s handlebars. Camila's arms around his waist ignited a flame within him, dispelling any shadows of fear. As the engine roared to life, the motorcycle shot forward like an arrow released fram its bow.
Logan stood by the roadside. His eyes were fixed on the receding figures. He marveled at the power of love, capable of helping Connor overcome years of inner fears, which deeply touched him.

Camila immediately helped him up, shaking her head slightly. “What's the situation now?”
“I don’t know. The doctors are still trying to save her.” Cole's face was lined with wrinkles that seemed to deepen at that moment, aging him a decade. Rushed footsteps approached, and an elderly doctor in a white coat hurried over followed by several medical staff.

Finally, her grandmother's voice came again, cold and evasive. “I don't have any money! Don’t ask me for money!”

She had thought that even if her grandmother was biased, facing her mother’s critical condition would stir some emotion.
However, reality cruelly shattered that illusion.
