"I can't believe you!" Rina exclaimed to Victor, expressing her frustration, then angrily grabbed her phone from his hand.
Rina found it difficult to engage in another argument with Victor, especially with both his parents present, and she also lacked the strength to confront him anymore.
Denise then noticed Rina weakening, possibly due to the absence of news about the children.
"Hey Rina, why don't you eat something first? You look weak," Denise suggested, prompting Victor to glance at her. It was probably the first time he realized that Rina hadn't touched the food he gave her.
"I'll eat later, D-denise... I just can't bring myself to eat, especially with no news yet about the kids," Rina explained.
However, Victor, displeased with her response to Denise, abruptly pulled her away while she was still conversing with Denise, intending to bring Rina to a nearby restaurant.
