Albina hugged Umberto’s waist tightly without saying anything.
But Umberto could see at a glance that she was wronged.
He touched her hair, speaking in a low, gentle voice:
-Who?
For Albina, the fact that her parents had no genetic relations was no shock. But she could not resist Umberto’s care, so she cried very sadly.
Umberto didn’t expect her to cry so much that the tears soaked his shirt.
She didn’t cry like the miserable women Umberto had seen, who never liked fake girls.
She cried so much but made no sound and went into his arms so that no one could see her. But by her thin shoulders that were constantly shaking, you could see that she was crying very sadly.
Umberto’s heart ached.
With her face in his hands, he asked her to raise her head and saw that she was biting her lower lip to keep from crying, but her face was already wet with tears.
Her eyes were also glowing red, looking very pitiful.
-Don’t bite yourself. If you’re sad, bite me.
He pressed her mouth lightly with his fingers to loosen her teeth. Seeing that the lower lip had been bitten deeply, he touched and kissed it.
When Albina’s crying gradually weakened, he released her and whispered:
-Why do you bite so hard?
Although Albina had stopped crying, she was sobbing and her body was trembling, so she could not speak.
Umberto didn’t want to tell her anymore, so he held her in his arms and looked at Kevin:
-What happened?
Kevin looked at Umberto with a complicated expression. The man finally discovered his presence.
-Ramon said that Albina was not from the Espina family and was adopted by her parents. Albina might not be able to accept that.
As soon as he heard these words, surprise appeared on Umberto’s face.
He had asked people to verify it before, but nothing came out. Fearing that Albina would be saddened if she found out, so Albina’s parents hid it from him.
They did their best to hide it so that no one, not even Umberto’s family could find out, which meant that John and his wife loved Albina more than her real parents.
He touched her long hair and hugged her tighter:
-Where are you going?
Kevin answered quickly:
-We want to go to the nursing home and ask his grandmother the truth.
Umberto nodded:
-I think you’re busy. I’ll take her there.
Kevin wanted to say he had time and wasn’t busy, but he swallowed the words when he met Umberto’s eyes.
-Yeah, I’ve got something to do. I’m going.
Umberto’s eyes at this moment were so fierce.
If Umberto could find this place, he should have discovered that he was the one who introduced Augustine to Albina.
Out of fear, Kevin waved to Albina and quickly walked away.
Albina was leaning on Umberto’s arms and calmed down after a while, so she lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at him.
She looked guilty, Umberto laughed and said:
-Are you afraid now, didn’t I tell you not to put yourself in danger?
Albina whispered:
-I wasn’t thinking much about it at the time. When I heard that Ramon had broken the brake of my dad’s car, I was so angry that I just wanted to get even with him, so I….
As she said that, she looked at Umberto cautiously, tugged on his sleeve and whispered:
-Don’t be angry with me. now that the affair is over, I won’t.
-How many times did you promise me? -Umberto raised his eyebrows and looked at her- -The last time you rescued my mother, you also promised me that you wouldn’t put yourself in danger in the future.
Albina didn’t dare to look at him, whispering:
-It was an accident, but in the future, never….
Speaking of which, she herself was unconvinced:
-What if I’ll be more careful from now on? As soon as I see danger, I’ll run away.
Umberto didn’t know what to say, he just couldn’t get angry with this girl, who had her head down to say she was wrong and in her tone you could hear her excitement about the next time.
-At least tell me before making a decision when something happens.
In the end, Umberto made concessions and Albina raised her head when she heard the words.
A pair of slightly puffy eyes narrowed into a slit. Though her nose was flushed, she smiled revealing her white teeth.
Umberto reached out his fingers, pinched her cheek to touch the soft, tender skin, then felt himself relax a little.
Pushing her toward the car, he said:
-Kevin said he could be your brother, yet he introduced you to such a dangerous person and didn’t stop you when you were going to be in danger. I have to find an opportunity to teach him a good lesson.
Albina whispered:
-It’s not his fault. It was me who asked him to do it.
Umberto looked at her and she stopped talking.
Albina told him the address of the nursing home and the two arrived.
***
Lila had also seen Albina’s grandmother, so they wanted to see how Albina would cope with difficulties.
But because of Macos’ sudden confession, now Lila paid full attention to Yolanda.
She had completely won Yolanda’s trust these days, so everything goes well when she worked in Yolanda’s company.
But when she had time to see what was happening to Albina, that woman had taught Ramon and his son a lesson and Albina’s grandmother was sent to the nursing home. Lila was very surprised about this.
When she was at Macos’ company, Albina was not so cruel to the marketing manager and her.
However, this time Albina seemed to have become someone else, it turned out that the three people did not end well. Compared to Ramon and Alex, it was good for Grandma to be alone in the nursing home.
What surprised Lila even more was that Umberto had never intervened in this matter from start to finish and Albina took care of everything.
Her methods were more ruthless than Lila thought.
After learning about the whole affair, Lila immediately went to Yolanda’s office and told her.
As Lila expected, Yolanda was also very surprised, even after she heard about Ramon and her son, her face turned pale with fear.
-Are you sure it was all done by Albina?
-Absolutely. I also heard that before Alex went to the casino, Albina had contacted Agustin. How could such a coincidence be? This affair was Albina’s trap from start to finish.
When Lila said this, she kept looking at Yolanda. Seeing her face become even paler, a hint of suspicion appeared on her face.
Was Yolanda scared?
Lila thought about it, looked at Yolanda and said tentatively:
-After Albina finishes with her family, will she start attacking us next time?
As soon as she said these words, Yolanda abruptly got up from the chair and ran out with the cell phone in her hand, as if Lila was not in the office.
Yolanda was gone before Lila noticed. As she was about to leave, Lila suddenly saw some documents scattered on her desk.
After looking at the contents of those documents, she took out her cell phone to take pictures. She carefully put things back in their places and then walked out the door with a calm expression.
Yolanda went straight to Jaime and called him as she got into the car.
Before Jaime could speak, Yolanda said anxiously:
-Jaime, did you hear about the Espina’s? Albina already ruined her uncle’s family. I think I’m the next target now. It’s to avenge her parents.
The deaths of Albina’s parents were directly related to her.
Yolanda panicked!
