Victor As I hurriedly made my way to the office, my mind was filled with a mix of worry and anticipation. Uncle's words about an emergency kept replaying in my head. I couldn't help but fear the worst, thinking that perhaps my father had found his way back into our lives and had caused trouble once again. The thought sent a shiver down my spine. When I finally reached the office, I found Uncle waiting for me near his office door. His face carried a grave expression, and I could sense that something significant had occurred. I braced myself for what awaited me as I stepped into the room. To my surprise, it was Mateo who stood in the office, his presence only intensifying my anxiety. His eyes met mine, and I could see a hint of remorse in them, but it did little to ease my apprehension.
