SWNOVELS Chapter 30
Isaac no longer paid her any mind. He put the box back to its proper place on the
shelf, next to a framed photo of him and his parents.
Camila’s eyes had been following him the whole time, and they were fixed on the
open box. It looked familiar for some reason.
“Get out!” Isaac bellowed, interrupting her thoughts.
Desperate for an escape, Camila didn’t mind anything else and rushed to the
door.
If she stayed for a minute longer, Isaac might really kill her.
She dashed out of the room as fast as her body would allow
Isaac's ferocious expression gradually softened once Camila was gone. He
gazed at the contents of the box with a tender look in his eyes. His heart had
turned into stone after his parents passed away.
The only flicker of warmth he had encountered since then had come from the
owner of this bauble.
Although more than a decade had passed, he still remembered that tiny body
dragging him out of the water. He recalled how hard she had struggled, but she
persevered until the end.
He remembered looking up at her face, and how pure and clear her eyes had
been.
Even the simple thought of it now still managed to ease his raging heart.
Downstairs, in the living room.
Camila pressed her hand against the wound in the back of her head to staunch
the bleeding. Robin rushed over, having heard the commotion. He took one look
at her pale face and demanded, “What's the matter?”
“I got hurt,” was all Camila said, her voice small and weak.
The old man scowled. He knew all too well that Isaac had a foul temper, but his
grandson would never raise his hand against another without reason.
“What happened, exactly?” Robin prodded.
“I accidentally knocked over a box, and it fell...”
“The one next to Isaac's family photo?” Robin immediately asked. Camila nodded
mournfully.
“That's right.”
The old man sighed in understanding.
“I'm afraid I can’t help you with this one. That box It holds something very dear to
Isaac. Even I do not dare to touch it.”
