Connor gripped her wrist, pulling her hand away as he suppressed the fury in his heart. His voice was calm yet intense. "Who did this to you?" He held Camila's hand tightly. Camila twisted her wrist, attempting to break free. "It's really nothing. Please let go of me. It's my family."

Connor didn't loosen his grip, his eyes filled with both pain and anger. "What was it about?"

"It's over now, and they're not my family anymore," Camila replied indifferently.

Connor fell silent for a moment. Then he released her wrist. "I've told you before. If there's anything troubling you, let me help."

Camila stood at the front door, facing Connor with a calm and polite tone. "Thank you, Mr. Connor, but I need to rest now."

She didn't invite him inside, just expressed her thanks lightly, then turned to enter the house.

Connor stood rooted to the spot, with a complex mix of emotions flickering in his eyes.

He watched as Camila entered her home, keyed in the code, and closed the door. He stood silently, and his thoughts swirled like a tumultuous tide.
