His voice remained respectful despite the urgency.
"President Villarreal instructed us that if anything ever happened to her while you were together, your safety becomes our responsibility."
Daniella blinked.
"...She said that?"
"Yes."
The officer nodded firmly.
"We're taking all of you back to Coastal Hospital immediately."
Luciano exchanged a brief glance with Thiago.
"That's where the ambulance is headed anyway," Luciano said quietly.
"It is," the officer confirmed. "President Villarreal's trauma team is already preparing the operating theatre."
At the mention of the hospital, Matías' composure finally cracked again.
"Auntie Camilla..."
His small voice trembled.
"...Can we go with her?"
The security chief crouched until he was level with the little boy.
"We're going to the same hospital."
He offered the child a reassuring smile.
"And the doctors there are some of the best in the country."
Matías nodded uncertainly before tightening his grip on Luciano's hand.
