Micaela wrapped her arms around Carlos’ neck, her tears falling.
Carlos hugged her tightly, the nerves that had been tense finally calmed a little, his little one was finally back in his arms.
-Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you home now,” Carlos said in a husky voice.
He wished he could always be with her so he would never feel that fear again.
-I knew you would come to my rescue. I’m sorry, Carlos…
Smelling the familiar scent of his body, Micaela still felt it wasn’t enough and hugged him tightly.
-Little girl, it’s my fault for not being considerate and letting you put yourself in danger. We’ll never come to this place again….”.
Micaela shook her head hard in his arms, feeling even more guilty.
He did it every time, not blaming her, just blaming himself for not protecting her….
He was still very insecure here, and Carlos didn’t dare to stay much longer, quickly taking off his jacket and putting it on Micaela.
-Your clothes are a bit dirty, wear mine first -he said and lifted her up.
-Alba…
Micaela looked anxiously and saw that she was also standing with Diego’s help. Eric was also rescued…
Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a crash and the pillar supporting this corner collapsed. Everyone was quickly pulled to safety…
Carlos hugged Micaela tightly, while Micaela buried her face in Carlos’ arms in fear. Half a while later, she fell silent, unconsciously turned and looked at the dusty collapsed place.
The rescue team and Diego also looked at that corner, and only after a while, Diego said:
-Mr. Aguayo, you have arrived just in time.
If we had arrived a few minutes later, these survivors would have become casualties….
Carlos was also incomparably grateful, fortunately, the little girl was already in his arms.
I’m not sure what to say, but I’m not sure what to say.
-Carlos, we still haven’t found Katarina.
At that moment Antonio panicked and saw Micaela, he asked excitedly:
-Micaela, where is Katarina?
-She was also at the bottom at that time, but after the accident, I didn’t see her.
He called Katarina for a long time after waking up, but did not hear any answer from her. Micaela was too upset to tell her….
-She went to the bathroom,” Alba’s voice rang out.
Diego helped her closer and Alba looked around, trying to find the location of the bathroom.
-She told me she went to the bathroom earlier. She was probably in that place.
Antonio ran frantically over there. Carlos signaled the search team.
-Follow him, make sure we find Katarina.
The team nodded and followed him with their equipment.
Carlos led Micaela out. Micaela remembered Moises and hurried to look at him. Several members of the search staff had already taken away the chunk of concrete crushing Moises’ leg, but he seemed to have fainted.
Outside there were reporters who had rushed in for the news, and when they saw Carlos pulling Micaela out, they took all kinds of pictures and excitedly explained the aftermath of this catastrophe.
The hospital ambulance was already waiting in the wings and those medics rushed the rescued injured into the ambulance.
Eric covered his still bleeding arm and tried to smile as he said:
-Mr. Aguayo, I really thank you for saving my life today.
-Go to the hospital for help,” Carlos nodded.
Eric got into the car.
Moises was pulled out, covered in dust, his eyes closed, his legs….
-Don’t look,” Carlos said to Micaela.
-Carlos, Moises was wounded to save me and Alba.
Micaela felt very sad. Moises’ leg must have been seriously injured.
Carlos was more than grateful to Moises and said to Micaela:
-I will ask the best doctor to cure him, don’t worry. I will take you to the hospital.
-I don’t want to go to the hospital! -Alba’s voice rang out.
Micaela and Carlos looked over there.
Alba pushed away the paramedic’s outstretched hand and said it again in English.
-Micaela, you two go ahead. I’m going to wait here for Ernesto, he hasn’t left yet.
Micaela’s eyes turned red and she said to Carlos:
-I don’t want to go either, I’m not hurt.
She wanted to stay here with Alba.
Carlos was also worried about Ernesto, half a moment later, he instructed Diego:
-Prepare a makeshift medical hut here immediately and bring more clothes and food.
Diego nodded and immediately went to do so.
After putting thick winter clothes on Micaela, the doctor made sure that she was not injured and only had a bump on her head. Only then did Carlos feel slightly relieved and took a clean towel to wipe Micaela’s face and hands.
Looking at Carlos what he was doing, Micaela couldn’t help the urge to cry again.
-Carlos, did you hurt your body? Let the doctor take care of the wound on your face, you’re wearing very little clothing, put on your jacket quickly.
Carlos resisted the urge to kiss her and took her hand:
-As long as you’re okay, I’ll be fine, shall we go look for Ernesto?
Micaela nodded. Then Carlos took Micaela outside.
Alba stood at the exit, watching people being taken out one by one, some with minor or serious injuries and others who showed no signs of life.
Several times she tried to go looking for him herself, but was prevented from doing so.
She had never felt so uneasy and self-conscious.
-Alba, let’s go check it out.
Micaela and Carlos approached.
Just now, thanks to Carlos who saved them all in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. The senior officers of Catyblaca Nation who had just stopped Carlos were all impressed this time. Especially the one who had been hit, gathered around Carlos to thank him.
Alba hugged Micaela as she cried:
-What should I do, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been with him.
-Don’t worry, he’ll be fine,” Micaela comforted her.
From the excavation tunnel, a searcher rushed out shouting:
-There’s a bomb in the audience, it’s a ticking time bomb!
