A little embarrassed, Miguel was lying on the bed, but when he said this, it made Albina’s heart sour.
-Whoever he is, I don’t want any of us to get hurt.
As they were talking, Umberto noticed Miguel’s mood, he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood that night, on the contrary, he was better than before.
He frowned, looking at Camilo with a questioning expression.
Camilo nodded his head, as if he were saying: -It’s done.
This made Umberto feel relieved, but there was still something in his heart that seemed strange to him.
Miguel’s condition was not bad, but it did not seem normal to him. Therefore, he kept looking at Miguel for traces.
Having noticed her gaze, Miguel raised his head. Meeting his eyes, he quickly moved his gaze to Umberto’s arm.
-Are you hurt too?
-I accidentally splashed myself with sulfuric acid while subduing that crazy woman,” he said lightly, as if he felt no pain.
Miguel was stunned.
-Okay, otherwise I would feel guilty.
At that moment, Albina was helping him to deal with his wounds without paying attention to Umberto’s side.
After Umberto heard her words, his eyes froze and this strange feeling deepened, but he couldn’t understand what it was.
-I heard that you are going to get engaged.
When Miguel said these words, not only Albina and Umberto were stunned, but also Camilo, Macos and Ariana, who were behind.
Umberto and Albina intended to get engaged, but they did not tell Miguel so that he would not be sad. Besides, Miguel’s family was also hiding it from him.
Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Miguel smiled.
-Even though they kept it from me, I can see that you are in a good relationship and the engagement is a natural thing. You delay it because of me.
Umberto and Albina looked at each other, pursing their lips without saying anything.
Miguel’s parents rushed forward and said to Miguel.
-Son, you are wounded and you have to rest well to recover quickly.
Miguel shook his head at them.
-Dad, Mom, let me keep talking.
He was a stubborn man, so he would fight anyone who would keep him from knowing what he wanted to know.
Father Miguel pushed his wife aside.
Miguel continued to look at Albina and Umberto, saying with a smile.
-After so many days of treatment, I have improved quite a bit and will recover if I continue to eat regularly. You don’t have to worry about me. I also have to thank Mr. Umberto, because I heard that you found me many doctors to treat my illness, otherwise I could not recover so quickly.
She smiled innocently and Umberto wondered if she was too sensitive. But why could he sense something strange in her words.
However, he found nothing abnormal in her eyes, which were full of sincere blessings, as if she was congratulating them.
Since the engagement was delayed and Albina also had important work, Umberto said to Michael to make him feel less burdened.
-We canceled the engagement not because of you, but because Albina’s work is urgent, so we have to wait until she returns from France.
He said this to make Miguel feel less burdened, but Umberto kept his eyes fixed on Miguel as he spoke and found that in his eyes was reflected a surprise that was not easy to see.
This surprise made Umberto relax for a moment.
In such a short time, even the best psychologist couldn’t make Miguel forget Albina completely either, so it wasn’t strange that he was surprised.
-Great. When you are engaged, I will recover completely. Don’t forget to invite me.
-Sure,” Umberto nodded.
Albina said nothing, fearing that Miguel would be moved by her words, and her illness would worsen.
-I have to rest, I get tired talking with my neck up.
Miguel smiled at Albina. His beautiful face looked very gentle and his voice also sounded sweet.
Albina nodded quickly.
-Then rest, we’re leaving. See you when you’re better.
Camillo followed them to the door. But Umberto had something to tell him, so he let Albina, Macos and Ariana walk to the front.
When the three people were a little farther away, Umberto lowered his eyelashes and asked Camilo.
-Did your brother really recover? Do you want me to find a better doctor to check him out?
Camilo laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
-Don’t throw yourself into this mess, you’ve helped us enough. My brother has improved a lot. He couldn’t eat a few days ago and he lost a lot of weight, but he’s had more appetite these days, I think he’ll recover quickly.
Umberto’s long eyelashes trembled.
-What about her psychological situation? I think his psychological recovery is more important than his physical one.
Camilo didn’t hide anything from Umberto, they grew up together and got along very well.
-The doctors have checked everything, but they didn’t find anything wrong. Although he hasn’t forgotten Albina yet, he’s already trying, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to eat.
Blinking his eyes, Camillo continued.
-The doctor you introduced is the best in the industry.
After hearing his words, Umberto laughed.
-Yes, the doctor I found is the best.
“There shouldn’t be any problems.”
After determining the date for the appointment with Camillo, Umberto left to chase Albina and the others.
The three of them were waiting for Umberto at the hospital entrance. Albina put down her cell phone and looked at Umberto.
-We got a call from the police to come and make a transcript.
Albina and the others took Miguel to the hospital when the accident happened. The police arrived and took Lila away.
-Okay, let’s go.
Umberto held Albina with his right hand and said to Macos.
-Let’s go by cab. When you come back, go to the supermarket to get my car. My hand is hurt.
Macos looked at his left hand and nodded.
He and Ariana followed him, watching the two intimately pulling hands and very envious of their happiness. Macos looked at Ariana standing next to him. When he glanced at her hand hanging by her side, his eyes filled with hope.
He wanted to hold her hand, but unfortunately the time was not right.
Macos was surprised when he saw this painter’s hands, which were white and thin. Her fingers looked very much like ivory.
When she felt his gaze, Ariana looked into Macos’ eyes.
Macos turned quickly, so Ariana found nothing abnormal.
Ariana smiled at him with eyes full of gratitude.
-Thank you for dragging me away at that moment.
Macos smiled stupidly, touching the back of his head.
-You’re welcome, I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. You shouldn’t be the victim of Lila’s madness.
Ariana shook her head.
-Whatever happened, you’re the one who saved me, but I don’t know how to thank you. Well, tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you if I can.
Macos’ eyes lit up.
He wanted Ariana to be with him.
But that was not possible.
His eyes darkened. He smiled and said to Ariana.
-Albina told me that you are very good at making cakes, I like sweets and I want to try your craftsmanship.
“So simple?”
Ariana didn’t expect him to make such a simple request and was surprised for a moment.
-Okay, but this isn’t a request. I’ll make you something if you want to eat.
-Then I have no further requirements.
Macos smiled and touched his head, embarrassed.
Ariana was amused by his gesture.
-Tell me when you come up with something in the future.
Macos looked at her for a moment before nodding.
-Okay.
