Miguel knew he had to act, but he needed to be strategic. Confronting Ricardo directly in that moment might only escalate the situation and put Camila and the baby in further danger. Instead, Miguel decided it was time to ensure that Camila and little Leonardo received the protection and support they desperately needed.

After quietly leaving the hospital, Miguel immediately contacted an old friend, María Torres, who worked in social services. He briefed her on the situation and asked for her help in ensuring Camila and the baby’s safety. María, who had dealt with cases of domestic violence for years, reassured Miguel that she would handle the situation delicately and discreetly.
