She tells this to Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), who is extremely worried about the mother of his child, calling local hospitals and searching all of Camille’s favorite cafes. He is not happy that Camille had an affair with Sofia while she was with him, but finding out that Emily knew about it the whole time is another stab in the back. “I had my own relationship, okay? I didn’t think it was my place to interfere in yours,” she announces. Soon the two are shouting at each other in the street. He stomps off, leaving Emily alone to investigate.
