Carlos spoke slowly:
-I won’t regret all the decisions I’ve made. I’m not forcing you to tell me today, but sooner or later I’m going to know, whatever happens and when I know the truth, you can be sure that I won’t separate from Micaela nor will I hurt her and much less will I allow her to hurt herself. So, you’re still not going to tell me?
Carlos had already mentioned most of her concerns, but she still didn’t have the courage to tell him?
Carlos continued:
-Micaela and I need to cross that hurdle, I’m so sorry I ignored your thoughts before, for now I won’t bother you anymore until the day you want to tell me of your own free will.
Her sincere apology made Alba’s heart moved, without saying anything, she shifted her gaze away, walked to the bed and looked at Micaela again, her heart ached again for remembering at that moment that she was in a lot of pain and became hysterical, so she decided to wait until the day that Micaela was strong enough to ignore the past….
Alba turned around and said calmly as usual:
-Since I can’t do anything here, so I’m leaving now, I’ll be back tomorrow.
Carlos nodded, suddenly remembered something and said:
-Micaela said that at the moment when the car accident happened, she thought of two people and one of them was you.
Alba was a little excited, what he just said would mean that she was also the most important person for Micaela.
“Why didn’t you speak to me in a more direct way?”
Thanks to those words, Alba’s mood improved quite a bit and she said:
-I imagined it, my existence is the essential thing for her, instead, if you don’t make an effort, I could be replaced by someone else.
Carlos said nothing, just showed her a smile of certainty, because he had absolute confidence in Micaela.
Ernesto came closer and took Alba’s arm, saying:
-Let’s go now, you know we have nothing to do here, I’ll take you back, besides, Carlos and Micaela have formed strong bonds, so don’t worry about that.
Then they closed the door and left.
The room returned to its quiet time.
Carlos returned to the bed and saw that there was very little injection left, so he pressed the buzzer. The nurse came in quickly and changed another injection, this time, she didn’t dare bother him like last time, so when she finished everything, she left without any delay.
Carlos lay down on the bed and gently embraced Micaela.
Micaela seemed more secure in his arms, her furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
Carlos immediately felt he had made the right decision.
At first he had wanted Alba to stay and take care of her and he was going to interrogate the murderer during the night, but seeing Micaela’s fragile appearance, he felt sorry to leave her.
Her face was much pinker than before and her breaths were light, her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.
Carlos had a lot of work to do lately, so he sent a message to Tomas:
-Come to Teladia.
Then he put the cell phone down and closed his eyes.
From the moment he learned that she had been in a car accident, he was always tense with nerves, and now that he was holding her in his arms, he could finally be calm….
Less than two hours later, Carlos opened his eyes, his first reaction was to look at the injection, indeed, there was not much left. He looked at the person in his arms and saw that he was frowning, he had an expression that looked painful, besides there were sweats on his forehead….
-Dear…
Micaela still kept her eyes closed and cried out in pain:
-No, it hurts….
Carlos was startled and quickly sat up, at the same time he started to check Micaela’s men and arms to see if he could find some wounds that were not discovered during the inspection, then he asked anxiously: -Do you hurt?
-Dear, are you in pain somewhere? Saying that, he quickly pressed the button next to the bed.
Between dreams, Micaela opened her eyes and said unconsciously:
-Don’t bite me, it hurts?
Bite her?
Carlos breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his head and asked:
-Did you have a dream?
Micaela was a little stunned, she didn’t know anything about what he said just now, it seemed she had a short and painful dream….
Carlos got out of bed, brought a glass of warm water and helped her to sit up.
The doctors and nurses came rushing in, as Mr. Aguayo’s needs were priorities for the entire hospital.
Micaela was taking small sips of water and her consciousness was slowly recovering.
The doctor asked with concern:
-Miss Micaela are you feeling well?
Micaela thought for a while and answered:
-I think so.
-Do you feel dizzy and nauseous?
-No.
The nurse took out the needle and picked up the infusion bottle.
The doctor leaned over to Carlos and said:
-Mr. Aguayo, she should be fine and it would be in her best interest to get more rest. It really was a miracle that someone could survive such a big accident without getting hurt.
Micaela looked at Carlos believing that the real miracle was because she knew Carlos.
Carlos looked at Micaela and said to the doctor:
-Thank you, you may leave now.
When the doctors left, Diego came in:
-Sir, you haven’t eaten anything yet, I brought you some dishes I ordered from the restaurant.
It was then that Micaela remembered that just when she was about to deliver the food, the car accident happened….
She looked towards the sale and saw that it was well lit outside, it was already very late and Carlos hasn’t had dinner yet….
-Well, leave them on the table.
Then Diego sent the waiter to put the plates, after having put everything, they left.
Carlos took Micaela in his arms and walked to the table.
Micaela whispered:
-I can go alone….
Carlos whispered in her ear:
-But I want to hug you.
Micaela blushed and let him carry her to the chair at the side of the table.
They were dishes he prepared for a very superior restaurant, they looked very delicious.
Micaela knew that even if she told him she didn’t want to eat, he would still ask her to eat with him, so she didn’t say anything. Micaela was very excited to see Carlos carefully serving her half a bowl of soup:
“Good thing we’re still eating together as usual…”
“We will never know what will happen tomorrow, so we must always value those who are important to us…”
This was the common voice of the two.
Micaela was very happy for making the decision to come back to Carlos’ side, otherwise she would never know that she would love someone so much….
To love…
Micaela blushed a little, when she was in Mangzarent Nation, she wrote on the paper, I like you very much, Alba said that she should change for other more passionate words….
Looking at the man in front who ate elegantly and from time to time put favorite food of hers on his plate, Micaela was completely mesmerized by his charms, Carlos raised his eyebrows looking at her and asked:
-Are you in love with me?
Micaela’s heart beat faster and she answered without hesitation:
-Yes.
In an instant, Carlos’ breath stopped for a second and immediately his heart was filled with joy.
