"Adela?" Veronica murmured.

"Were she and Francis not with Camilla?" As she spoke, she turned to face Max. Max raised an arched eyebrow. He noticed Francis's expression, which concerned him greatly. It appeared like Francis was struggling with something when he was attempting to convey it to Adela. Max didn't waste any time in asking, "Is Camilla okay?"

They both exchanged glances and hurried toward them, as Max feared.

Veronica called out his name, "Francis."

Francis shifted from Adela and looked at Veronica, but Adela pushed him and she ran away. As Adela ran away from the spot and sped away, Francis glanced around. Francis furrowed his brow and said, "Adela, stop!"

Instead of waiting, he joined Adela in going forward. Max halted his steps in front of Veronica. As they exchanged glances, Veronica remarked, "I believe Camilla suffered a certain event. We should get there right away."

They rushed instead of remaining motionless, as she advised.
