"Please understand Camilla, I'm not making excuses for my actions or for your parents' actions." Grandpa Ortiz said as he moved to sit up in bed.
Benedict quickly rushed up and helped him.
"I tried to bury the memory of losing you, I tried to forget." Grandpa Ortiz said, shaking his head.
"Grandpa, I understand." As much as Camilla didn't want to admit it, she didn't blame him for trying to move on. She did the same, she did everything she could to forget about her real family.
"I couldn't Camilla." Grandpa Ortiz said, shaking his head. "I couldn't forget how you cried when your parents pulled you away from Benedict."
"Grandpa, why don't you tell us from the beginning?" Benedict asked as he held his grandfather's hand.
Grandpa Ortiz nodded as he adjusted himself on the bed.
