When doctor Aliando asks Camelia to leave her study, Camelia is reluctant to leave.
"Oh yes thank you, for helping me. Hopefully later we can meet again." said Camelia smiling turned away from the room.
"Meet? hopefully not."reply with a small tone of voice. Because he already seemed annoyed by Camelia's behavior seeing as she pleased there.
In a house a woman opens a veil that she uses to cover her face. And he also took off a roll of messy hair and looked a little disheveled.
"I won't keep looking after you, I'm sorry to keep hiding like this from a distance. "I don't want anyone to hurt you. I know Mr. Thomson must have been after you and was also after Cornelius.
It's not enough for your father to take care of you. Although your father asked me to still not help him keep you at a distance, but I can't stand by watching you get hurt by others.
I won't let that happen, until Cornelius takes his revenge on Mr. Thomson, I'll keep looking out for you from a distance even if you don't know who I am." said the veiled woman in her room staring at her body in front of the mirror.
The middle-aged woman was indeed good at shooting. He learned it from Cornelius' father. This woman was also a police officer. But he had to swallow a bitter pill to have to get out of his police force.
Because he does not want cheating to happen in the police service. He saw his colleagues working with other mobsters to enrich themselves. And it can't just be taken for granted like Bernando's real father.
Moreover, he already knew that Mr. Thomson was working together to finish off Cornelius' biological parents. The veiled woman left the police service and chose to protect Cornelius and Irene.

Cornelius returned to take Irene to the boarding house Irene shared with Mr. Bernando. Cornelius' car stopped in front of Irene and Cornelius' boarding house and Timoty was still in the car.
"Don't go to the office first, you just take a break. When it matters you don't have to work there anymore. I can support you even if you don't work. Can I take responsibility, do you doubt my abilities? to be able to support you?
"No, go you're also careful on the way back Irene smiled
"Why is still standing here go inside said Cornelius according to Irene immediately entered into the boarding house.
"I'll go in after you're gone
"No, you go first.
"I won't leave until you get in first. Cornelius just wanted to make sure Irene was safe before he left the place.
"All right."
Irene turned around to walk inside when Cornelius had seen her safe and she also turned back to go back to her car. Cornelius did not come in to accompany Irene because she had to go somewhere else.
Cornelius's car drove quickly to Irene's boarding house. In the car Cornelius called Lisa
"Hello
"Where are you now? since yesterday you haven't shown up
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Now I'm on a plane in a minute the plane is about to take off.
"On the plane, where are you going?
"I'm going back to Santa Barbara, and when Timoty comes back, you don't need me here anymore.
"You sure you're back there? it's not like you're running away from your father.
"I have to learn to face my problems, not run away from them. If this is how my problem won't just disappear, I have to face it even if I don't want it.
"You're growing up, I'm proud of you. Your mind is getting bigger, if you need anything Tell me me. Will always come to make.
"Yes, brother, thank you" Lisa said as she turned off her cell phone.
Lisa glanced sideways looking out the window staring out with a smile full of happiness.

Time has passed and no day has changed. At the boarding house Irene was seen in the kitchen Irene was standing in front of the stove stirring the soup that would soon be ripe.
"Irene how is the soup ripe?" shouted Mr. Bernando who was at the dinner table was putting a bowl and a plate.
"It's Dad." said Irene as she turned off the stove. Irene raised her soup pot carrying her a dinner shirt.
"Well, it smells so good, I can't wait to taste it.
"Please, it's still hot. As Irene placed the pot of sob on the table, the smell of hot cooking spread throughout the room making her father's stomach rumble.
Mr. Bernando and Irene sat in their seats, both scooping rice from the rice cooker, and scooping the hot soup onto their rice. They also took chicken side dishes cooked by Mr. Bernando.
They both seemed to enjoy the food.
"So you went home alone?why didn't Cornelius drive you.
"No dad, he drove me home. It's just that he didn't come up. But he would usually walk me to the front door.
Suddenly
Gts ....
Gts ..
Geck..
The sound of knocking on the door was clearly heard in the ears of the two.
"Let me open the door. I eat." said Irene standing up from her seat.
The sound of knocking on the door was heard again.
Gts ...
Gts ...
Geck...
Waita minute!
Irene quickened her pace
"Who the hell is coming at night, the other person is eating dinner too" said Irene standing at the door ready to open the door.
A knock on the door was heard but the sound was louder and Irene was scared.
Gts ....
Gts ...
Geck...
"Who the hell, sucks! said Irene holding the doorknob with a pounding heart, opening the door slowly
Behind the door...
It turned out that there was a man standing looking at Irene
that man was Timothy standing in the back of the wounded Cornelius.
Irene instantly reflexively covered her mouth with glaring eyes seeing Cornelius half-consciously standing up with Timoty's help.
"What's going on?
"Let me explain inside. Now let us in.
"Let's go in" he said in a panicked tone of voice. Timothy carried the wounded Cornelius inside and carried him to the sofa.
Irene hurriedly closed and locked the door, afraid that someone would come after them. Mr. Bernando who was eating came out to the room. It was a shock that he saw Timothy carrying the wounded Cornelius.
On the back of Cornelius' shoulders was a lot of blood tearing his suit. Sir Bernando hurriedly approached them.
"What is this, why is he hurt?
Suddenly Cornelius approached, lying face down on the sofa.
Irene sat under the floor with her face looking very worried and crying. "Why did you get hurt like this what happened to you?
Cornelius could still smile answering Irene's question. "I'm fine don't cry." Cornelius said wanting to see Irene cry
"I'm not crying" she said reflexively wiping her tears dripping down her pretty face. Cornelius smiled again
"You can smile like this" said Irene.
"You look like a child when you cry" she said with a smile.
"Shut up don't talk yet."
