(REALLY IMPORTANT) Hidden Album Gone/ Vanished on Xiaomi

Hello everyone,
first time using the forum, not sure if this is the place to post this.
I made an album of pictures of a really important conversation and had to hide it with the "Xiaomi's gallery hidden album feature". But then you have to turn on your Sync in order to hide an album. So I Sync it and Hide the Album. I noticed that the gallery is trying to load the pictures so I waited 5 minutes and I have to checked my hidden album and its all gone.
Please help those files are very important to me.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I TRIED CHECKING MY FILE MANAGER >MIUI>GALLERY>AND NOTHING IS THERE (I TURNED ON "SHOW HIDDEN FILES")
 
hey, unsure if this is what you are asking for.
Thanks in advance for your time :)

OK. You are not using a custom ROM from xiaomi.eu but Global EEA.
If the Gallery app is not linked to a MiCloud on your device, the "private album" will not work for you.
It is probably already tied to Google.
I hope I understood your problem correctly.

@untalgarcia you are not using this custom ROM here hence it isn't a bug by Xiaomi.eu. Please address your issue to offical Xiaomi forum c.mi.com
 
I think I found them!
Thru Internal shared storage> .vault> backup> photo_encrypt
But they are encrypted any idea on how to proceed?
Thanks a lot
