Cameron and Isabelle finally approached the hospital of San Francisco. Cameron walked by Isabelle's side till they got to the surgery room. "I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to wait in the waiting room. We'll inform you when Ms. Isabelle is out of surgery.", said a nurse. Cameron nodded and turned back towards the waiting room.
After hours of waiting and nervous pacing, Cameron decided to go to the cafeteria for a cup of coffee. As soon as he finished his coffee he walked back to the waiting room. Cameron walked up to the front desk, "Excuse me ma'am?" The woman behind the window finally looked up from her computer. "Yes sir? How may I help you?", she said. "I'd like to know of the progress in the operation room to a girl named Isabelle.", said Cameron. The woman looked back to the computer, "Are you her immediate family?"
Cameron nodded. "Okay. She's on floor C, room 315.", said the woman. Cameron nodded and walked away. On his way to the elevator, he went into the gift shop to buy Isabelle some roses. About six minutes passed as Cameron was in the store looking for a perfect bouquet of red roses. He walked into the elevator, making his way to floor  C. As Cameron exited the elevator and walked the long highways, he replayed the last day image of Isabelle he saw before she went onto the surgery room.
"Room 310, 311, 314...... there's room 315." Cameron knocked onto the door. "Come in!", said a familiar voice. He opened the door slowly and peeked his head into the door to face Isabelle. Cameron smiled and Isabelle smiled back. He walked to Isabelle's bedside and handed Isabelle the bouquet of roses, "Oh! Cameron, you didn't have to get me roses." Cameron still held out the roses till Isabelle graciously took the roses.
Isabelle placed the roses into a nearby vase. He looked down to the floor with a sadden look. Isabelle glanced towards Cameron, worried. "I should have checked the area outside the house. Then you wouldn't have had gotten hurt.", said Cameron. "No, no, no! Cameron, none of this was your fault. You don't need to blame yourself. If anything, I should be the one to blame.", said Isabelle as she held Cameron's hand tightly, "I'm the one that all those wizards and witches wanted, so I attracted them to your home."
