When Miguel saw Umberto go out the window, he called Albina on the video.
When he received Miguel’s call, Albina had just returned home from the cemetery. And the first thing she saw were the bruises on his face.
-Dr. Aguila, what happened to you? Did your family beat you? -he asked in an anxious voice.
“He was fine when we parted ways this morning.”
-Dr. Eagle, I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for my eye treatment, you wouldn’t have been out of the house so long….
-Nothing to do with my family,” Miguel interrupted her, “Umberto found out you were back and came into my house asking about your whereabouts.
Albina froze, remembering again the words of the cemetery guardian. During the last few days, she had heard Umberto’s name several times.
“I’ve already decided to forget about him, why does he keep haunting me!”
-Did he hurt you?
Miguel nodded and approached the camera. His skin was very white, so these wounds looked even more horrible.
-It’s not a serious injury, and it only hurts a little.
-Yes, it is serious! -Albina continued, “He has no right to hit you! Why don’t you stop him?
-Don’t be angry,” Miguel smiled, affecting the mouth wound, which made it hurt a little, “I hit him too.
-Well done. I have divorced the bastard and he has no right to come to my house.
Miguel felt satisfied with his words because he had achieved his goal. Then he got to the point,
-I’m currently locked up at home, and I won’t be out for three days, on my father’s birthday. Would you like to attend his party at my house?
-Me?” Albina pointed to herself.
-Yes. Umberto and Yolanda will be there, so it’s time for you to show up.
Albina hated Yolanda very much.
But now there was a question and she was a little hesitant:
-Dr. Eagle, if I meet them, it would be an absolute mess, cause the birthday party and make your father angry.
Hearing her words, he thought she was very understanding, even if she had hatred in her heart.
-Don’t worry. With me, everything will be fine,” Miguel said in a soft voice, “Besides, you can pretend you are my girlfriend, then he won’t be angry.
-You must be joking,” she felt a little embarrassed.
Ariana came out of her room just in time to hear this and went over to peek.
Noticing her embarrassment, he changed the subject:
-Haha, sure. If you don’t have a dress, I can help you?
-Thanks, I have it -Albina hurried to answer, not thinking to bother Miguel anymore.
-Very well. Three days later, at 6 p. m., I’ll pick you up.
After the two made an appointment, they hung up the video.
Ariana hugged Albina’s waist from behind and said:
-Albina, I think Dr. Eagle has his plan.
-What? -She didn’t react to what he said.
-Nothing! -Ariana didn’t point at him specifically, seeing that she didn’t understand.
Although he seemed to like Albina a lot, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
“Albina has already been hurt once. Before her next relationship, she should find out the man well so that she won’t be cheated again.”
-Albina, you’re meeting that pair of bastards and bitches in three days. are you nervous?
-No, I’m not nervous. Sooner or later I’ll have to face them in Sogen City. But I have some doubts…
He told what he had heard in the cemetery and Umberto’s arrival at his house.
Ariana listened solemnly. “After hearing this, why do I feel that her ex-husband has a deep love for her?”
-Does Umberto still like you?
-He can’t be. He said before that he married me for Yolanda.
-Then why did he often visit your mother’s grave and go to your house to ask about your whereabouts?
Albina remained silent, she couldn’t understand it either.
Earlier, Umberto had said he didn’t like her.
-If he liked you, would you go back to him? -Ariana asked seeing his confused look.
-Even if I die, I won’t be with him again!
-Do you still love him?
Albina’s fingers tightened, biting her lower lip. After a good while, she answered:
-Do you know? I have loved him all these three years. I treat him as my closest person, my lover, friend, family. My love for him is so deep that trying to take it away from me would be as painful as ripping out my bones.
She said with slightly reddened eyes. Looking out the window and continued:
-I decided to stop loving him completely from the moment he gave up saving me a year ago, though I find it difficult. Maybe with a little more time I can get over it little by little.
Ariana looked at her and then clasped her in her arms.
-Albina, let’s not think about it,” Ariana was angry with herself for bringing up that sad subject, and hurried to change the subject. Let’s think about what you’ll wear to the banquet after three days, and make sure you impress that bitch.
-Okay. Before that, you can let go of me first. Your chest almost took my breath away….
***
In Eagle Family.
Miguel remembered what Albina had said, touched the wound on his face and smiled.
“It’s worth the injury for her to hate Umberto even more.”
While he was thinking, Camilo came in with a plate of fruit:
-Hey, why are you laughing?
-What are you doing here? -Miguel immediately withdrew his smile.
-Nothing! -Camilo rubbed his nose with a strange expression. I haven’t seen you for almost a year and I want to talk to you.
-I see. You must be here to beg me for your friend, right? -He looked at him suspiciously as he scoffed.
-Umberto has had a very painful year, and I haven’t seen him smile. He really regrets it, and he loves Albina, see if you can? -he said bluntly.
-No!” Miguel coldly refused. If repentance were useful, there would be no need for a verdict on the murder.
-It has nothing to do with murder.
-What’s the difference between Umberto’s decision and a murder?
Miguel was silent for a moment before saying:
-But that’s between the two of you as a couple. You don’t have to interfere.
-I have to interfere! I like Albina, and she could be your sister-in-law in the future.
-Are you two together? -Camilo looked at him in surprise.
“My goodness. If Umberto found out about this, I don’t know what he’d do!”
-Not yet.
“You’re not together yet? That’s fine.”
As Michael watched his brother’s expression change, he suddenly asked:
-Who would you rather have with Albina?
