Carlos looked at Enrique, who nodded:
-The ecstasy with which he has been poisoned is so fierce that there is no medicine to cure it, except women. They touch the water, the cold one is being heated by him. If this continues, he will die because his heart cannot take it.
Both Micaela and Alba were terrified.
At this moment, outside the bathroom the maid’s voice rang out:
-Mr. Aguayo, a woman has come, it is someone called by Mr. Mancebo.
Enrique pulled Tomas into the water.
-Let that woman come up, we can’t let her go on like this!
Elisa approached:
-No, let me do it.
Carlos shook her hard.
-Get lost! If Tomas dies today, I’ll destroy the whole Abasto Family!
Elisa did her best to stand firm, feeling afraid.
-Brother, I don’t want it! -Tomas still refused.
Carlos and Ernesto ignored him and prepared to pull him out of the water. Carlos stopped suddenly and looked at Micaela:
-Everyone get out.
Micaela nodded and, accompanied by Alba, led Elisa out of the room and down the stairs, arriving just in time to meet the woman Ernesto had arranged.
She looked innocent and her eyes were full of uneasiness.
-Let me go, let me go. I can have sex with Tomas.
Alba shouted:
-Miss Abasto, aren’t you ashamed?
In the bathroom, Carlos and Ernesto pulled Tomas out of the water and took him directly to the outside bedroom. His body temperature was frighteningly high.
The woman stepped back nervously.
Tomas struggled, his body heated, but his sanity was still intact:
-Brother, no, I don’t want another woman…..
Carlos said firmly:
-Tomas, Bianca won’t blame you!
-Yes, you are obliged to do so. Lives are more important, you have done everything possible.
Tomas disagreed and wanted to go back to the bathroom:
-No, let her out….
He had already endured to the extreme, if he really touched the woman, he feared he would not be able to hold on. He only wanted Bianca.
Downstairs came Alba’s surprised voice:
-Oh my God, Bianca!
Everyone upstairs stopped in their tracks.
Bianca was so bewildered that she didn’t even have time to say a word. Despite seeing Elisa, she didn’t even have time to ask before she was dragged into the master bedroom by Micaela and Alba.
Ernesto smiled and said to the woman:
-Go back and get three times your manager’s salary.
Carlos also sighed in relief and they all left together, closing the door.
Bianca looked at Tomas, who was soaked to the bone. His face was very red and his eyes were burning. She was about to approach when Tomas came towards her in long strides and hugged her tightly.
Then he said:
-Bianca, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time….
***
They all went down together, and the woman left immediately.
Alba approached Elisa, who was cowering on the sofa and wiping her tears, and said sarcastically:
-Elisa, thank you for your play.
Elisa was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
“I drugged it, but in the end I made them work.”
Micaela was touched. She really hadn’t expected that at the critical moment, Bianca would have shown up. Seeing her reaction, she should have been completely unaware that Tomas had been drugged. The fact that she would be back soon meant that the love between them was destined not to be interfered with by others.
Enrique said goodbye to everyone and decided to leave.
Ernesto said to him:
-Dr. Tafalla, are you just going to leave? We have to leave some medicine.
Enrique answered and opened his medicine box.
Micaela rushed over and took the two ointments he handed her, somewhat puzzled:
-This, who is it for?
Enrique did not answer, looked at Carlos and Ernesto and left.
Carlos approached, took the ointment and gave it to the maid next to him:
-Give it to Tomas when he comes down tomorrow. None of you must go up there until you come down.
Looking askance at Elisa, she explained:
-No one is allowed up there.
The maids nodded repeatedly.
Carlos took Micaela’s hand and returned.
Ernesto also dragged Alba outside, who looked back curiously.
-Elisa is staying there?
Ernesto picked her up forcefully:
-Leave her alone. She wouldn’t dare to disturb…..
Rubbing his chin, he said:
-Even if the sky were to fall, Tomas wouldn’t have time to take care of her.
Micaela blushed and stepped forward with Carlos. Suddenly thinking that Alba was leaving tomorrow, she stopped to look at her, full of reluctance, and said:
-Alba, what time is tomorrow’s flight? I will accompany you.
Alba told her straight out that it was ten o’clock in the morning.
After the two said goodbye, they got into their respective cars.
At this point Micaela had mixed feelings, for tomorrow’s farewell with Alba, but also for Bianca and Tomas’ accidental love affair. It could have been smooth sailing, but it was interrupted by Elisa….
I was already in Nyisrenda, so I wouldn’t go back to Barrio Fanslan. A short distance away, Carlos quickly parked his car and pulled up in front of his villa.
Grabbing Micaela’s hand on the inside, Carlos asked:
-Have you eaten enough now? Do you want to have more midnight snacks?
Micaela shook her head and asked in turn: -And you?
-And you?
Carlos carried her upstairs. Once in the room, he pressed the little girl against the door and kissed her:
-It’s enough for me to kiss you.
Micaela blushed and hugged him, sinking her face in his arms:
-Carlos…
-What?
Carlos hugged her tightly, full of satisfaction. Today the little girl looked at him and said the words “Carlos, I love you” which gave great joy. At that moment he used all his strength to control himself and not to hug her on the spot.
-I wish all my friends could be as happy as we are.
Carlos rubbed her head and whispered in her ear:
-Of course.
-About Elisa…
Carlos released her and nodded:
-I know, I can’t let it go any longer.
He took out his phone, sat down on the sofa and called Elisa’s father.
Andres quickly answered the phone and was surprised to hear Carlos’ description:
-My daughter, how could she do such a thing? I will come to pick her up personally tomorrow!
-Mr. Abasto, how do you plan to fix it?
Carlos’ voice was cold.
Andres grimaced and answered:
-I’ll send her abroad for further study, I’ll make sure she gets corrected!
Satisfied, Carlos hung up the phone and saw Micaela, who was sitting next to him, looking at him with expectant eyes, so he told her about Andres’ decision, and Micaela was immediately relieved.
-Great, I hope Elisa can come to her senses soon so that Bianca and Tomas can be happy….
Carlos suddenly dropped the phone and threw her on the sofa to kiss her:
-Little girl, next time it’s mine, not to mention the others.
