The next day, as Ricardo went out to work, María and a team from the social services visited Camila in the hospital. They introduced themselves with warm smiles and kind eyes, explaining that they were there to ensure her and Leonardo’s well-being.

Camila, hesitant at first, looked at them with a mix of fear and hope. María gently explained that she had options and support, emphasizing that she was not alone. Camila listened, her heart yearning for a safe space for her and her child.
