Fortunately, Bryan's arms were strong enough to lift Gabriela, but she constantly moved in his arms. His frail condition made it hard for him to react quickly, and he risked her falling.

Eileen spent the afternoon sitting by the second-floor window, lost in thought. By evening, she still couldn't make sense of her emotions and had developed a headache. She went downstairs and brought swine back up. She thought maybe getting drunk would help her release spent-up emotions and find the strength to keep going.

"Go back to your room, and don't cout even if you hear any noise." Raymond felt uneasy, as though something big might happen. Jacob gave Josue a meaningful look, and Josue quickly understood. "Yes, you can go now. We'll look after Eileen. Don't you have work early tomorrow?" Josue said, urging Raymond to return to his room. Raymond's room was the southernmost one on the first floor. Although unsure of Jacob and Josue's plans, Raymond trusted they wouldn't harm Eileen and returned to his room.

In just over ten minutes, he reached Eileen's house. Someone from the Dury family had escorted him here on an electric bicycle.
As he gazed at the faint light glowing from the second-floor window, Bryan paused briefly before entering the house.
Jacob had been waiting for him. “Josue managed to get Gabriela to sleep. I checked on Eileen upstairs; she's very drunk. You should go check on her." Bryan eyed the staircase. Although it was only two stories, climbing them seemed daunting.
