Chapter 238: Let’s get started

Book:The Blind Wife Published:2024-6-3

Umberto understood why Albina Espina was crying so sad because she also got angry when she heard this audio.
-What a bastard! -said Umberto gritting his teeth.
His expression was cold and he felt guilty. He should have believed Albina back then and investigated the truth.
But he believed Yolanda.
Thinking that, Umberto slapped himself twice.
Albina stopped crying at his behavior. She looked at him with turgid eyes in surprise. Her fingers trembled and she wanted to touch carefully to the imprint on his face.
Umberto hugged her closely before Albina touched her.
Umberto caressed Albina’s shoulders. He said in a hoarse voice:
-I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I should have believed you. I’m so sorry.
He kept apologizing. Albina put her jaw on Umberto’s shoulder and closed her eyes feeling sadder. She trembled and kept crying.
Her father should live.
She saved Yolanda and called the ambulance. Although he was not taken to the hospital by the Carballal family when they arrived, he would have been saved by the ambulance and Juan would have had hope to continue his life.
But he was cruelly killed before the ambulance arrived.
Why? Why did they do it? Just for the project and fame? Or for money?
When she opened her eyes, Albina had hatred in her eyes.
Did they want money and fame? Then it would make them lose everything they wanted and feel the sorrow and bitterness Albina had felt.
-Umberto, let’s begin.
She said these words with tears. Umberto promised without any hesitation.
He did not help her before, but he would support her forever regardless of justice.
Albina released him and wiped away the tears:
-I looked on your cell phone. I’m sorry.
-It’s okay. What’s mine is yours,” Umberto caressed her eyes. Stop crying.
They were beautiful, bright eyes. They didn’t want her to hurt them and only see the darkness.
It occurred to Albina that Miguel told her that she had to protect her eyes after the treatment, otherwise the disease could reappear.
-Give me the audio. I’m going to take a shower and put the hot towel on my eyes.
He took out the eye drops and applied them to his eyes.
-I must thank Dr. Aguila for the recovery of my eyes after avenging Juan.
Hearing that, Umberto raised his eyebrows and did not know what to say.
Albina opened and closed her eyes to let the eye drops into her eyes. And she saw Umberto’s strange expression.
-What do you mean?
Umberto said quietly:
-I know you were cured by Dr. Aguila and I let Ruben pay him for the treatment.
Albina was surprised. Umberto had never been mentioned to her.
He followed the words:
-Miguel returned the money. I thought it was humiliation. We didn’t get along since we were little.
Albina remembered that although the two of them didn’t argue when they were together before, the atmosphere wasn’t normal.
-What happened to you? Dr. Eagle has such a good temper that no one hates him. You must have done something wrong!
Albina knew he wasn’t so innocent Umberto. He was indifferent in front of others.
When he heard Albina’s words, Umberto felt sad,
-I haven’t done anything. It’s his fault.
Camilo and Umberto got along well when they were kids. They always hung out with Santiago. Miguel was two years younger than them, that’s why he couldn’t go out with them. He didn’t like Umberto because of the relationship between them and Camilo.
This mattered to Umberto, but he didn’t expect Miguel to fall in love with Albina.
However, he was Camilo’s brother, so Umberto didn’t bother him much.
Albina was walking to the bathroom wearing pajamas that Umberto gave her and said:
-I haven’t seen him for many days. I don’t know what happened to him. I want to go to the hospital these days and say thank you. Do you know what he wants?
Umberto looked at Albina. He didn’t feel good about Albina’s words. He lacked nothing except Albina. She was from a rich family, it didn’t occur to Umberto what she lacked.
Albina closed the door and started the shower. Umberto sat down on the couch to answer Romina. He wanted her not to appear in front of Julio again. The disappearance revealed its purpose. If she appeared, they would take revenge on her.
When she came out, Albina had calmed down.
Umberto was no longer in the room. Albina pushed open the bedroom door and saw him lying on his bed.
As soon as she saw her, Umberto got up and indicated for her to come to him:
-Come. The blanket is warm.
Albina stopped her pace. She didn’t feel nervous sleeping with Umberto. They were sweethearts and had already done everything they had to do.
It was normal for something to happen to them.
Umberto laughed in the soft light. Albina was more and more nervous.
She lay down next to him stiffly. Albina was breathing fast, but he did nothing after he hugged her and turned off the light.
Albina looked at him with shining eyes and Umberto stroked her hair,
-Sleep. You are exhausted. Rest to welcome tomorrow.
He gently patted her back to make her sleep.
Albina was tired. She had had a long day. She lay down in Umberto’s arms and calmed down.
Soon, Albina was sleepy and slept.
Umberto sensed her breathing and noticed her face. Umberto’s eyes were full of love.
His parents believed that he could not make Albina fall in love with him.
Actually, he could, but he didn’t want to.
He was very fond of her and didn’t want Albina to feel sadness or go through the past again.
He knew that Albina feared it on the inside although he didn’t see it from her expression. She feared the sadness would pass and hurt her again.
However, now she felt safe with him.
At that thought, Umberto came up to her and kissed her on the eyes.
