When Micaela woke up, night had fallen.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling, somewhat dazed….
Just now, she had a long dream, although she couldn’t remember all the images, it seemed familiar.
There was a very beautiful woman, holding her, looking at her with love and affection. She looked at the woman full of dependence and happiness, and was about to speak when she woke up.
She turned her head to the side and saw Carlos standing in front of the window. The sky outside the window was already dark.
Sensing that she was awake, he turned around and approached her with concern, bending down and stroking her forehead.
-Micaela, how are you feeling?
Micaela looked at him. The wound on his handsome cheek had been cleaned and a band-aid had been put on. He was so handsome that she was again fascinated.
-Carlos…
As Micaela tried to get up, Carlos helped her sit up and then hugged her tightly:
-I was so worried about you.
Without warning, she suddenly fainted, so her tense nerves had not quite relaxed this day.
The doctor said she had fainted because she had been overworked and was in shock.
Micaela hugged her strong waist and said in a soft voice:
-I’m sorry.
Carlos sat up and gently kissed her forehead:
-What did you dream?
Micaela snuggled into his arms and tried to remember:
-I dreamt of a beautiful place, where the house seemed special, and a beautiful woman holding me…..
Micaela frowned. She couldn’t remember exactly what the woman looked like, but she seemed vaguely familiar.
Carlos kissed her cheek.
-Is there more?
-Nothing else. Then I woke up and saw you.
-No one else can dream of embracing you in the future, only me.
Micaela laughed:
-Why are you so domineering?
Carlos picked her up tightly:
-From now on, don’t leave me a step, just stay by my side.
Micaela leaned on his arms, full of happiness. After going through something so horrible, to still be able to cuddle with each other like this was really immensely satisfying. She whispered:
-I’m so hungry.
Carlos rubbed the place where he had hit her.
The doctor said that if it didn’t hurt, the bruise could be ignored and should slowly disappear.
Looking at the little girl who was as docile as a kitten in his arms, Carlos thanked God for sending her to him and allowing him to experience how happy he was to be able to love someone like that.
Kissing her forehead, he also told her:
-Me too.
Micaela looked at him:
-Why don’t you eat first?
Carlos said as he kissed her lips:
-I want to eat you.
Micaela blushed instantly:
-I’ll cook for you when we get back to the country.
The corners of Carlos’ mouth lifted and he raised his head, which had been lowered out of shyness:
-I want to make love to you.
Micaela felt even more shy when there was a knock on the door.
She sighed in relief and hurried to push him in:
-Go open the door.
Carlos pinched her cheek and gave her another kiss on the lips, as if to say:
-I’ll do it with you later!
So he went to open the door. Outside were Alba, Katarina, Ernesto, Antonio and Diego, all with food in their hands.
-Is Micaela awake? -Alba asked quietly, peeking her head out.
Seeing Micaela sitting on the bed, she came in relieved.
-Micaela, are you all right? -Leaving the lunch box on the table, Alba approached. Are you uncomfortable?
Micaela shook her head:
-No, no discomfort other than hunger.
Everyone laughed.
Micaela went to the bathroom to wash up and when she came out everyone had already distributed the silverware.
There was an empty seat next to Carlos, so she sat down. He had already prepared the soup for her.
They were all hungry and ate at a good pace.
Micaela thought about the interrupted walkway and looked at Katarina:
-Katarina, how is Eric, what’s up with this catwalk?
Seeing that he was asking Katarina instead of her, Alba pretended to be jealous and said:
-Hey, your assistant is here!
Before Micaela could say anything, Ernesto snatched the words from her:
-You’re on vacation, so don’t steal other people’s work.
Katarina smiled and replied:
-Eric has injured his arm, but it’s no big deal. He can come home with us. As for the catwalk, with something so big, we’ll organize it later.
Diego nodded and reported:
-The perpetrators of the terrorist attack have been caught. They were working in a gang. It was also quite unexpected that something so big happened today. Those people have been controlled and questions remain as to why exactly they would do something so damaging.
He put down the chopsticks and looked at Carlos:
-Mr. Aguayo, Catyblaca Nation has contacted me several times to interview you, in order to thank you in person.
Carlos was peeling shrimp for Micaela. He looked at Diego and refused:
-Don’t listen to them. We’ll be back in the country at dawn.
Ernesto said:
-This doesn’t seem appropriate.
-You have done a great job, you should let them thank you in person. One of the officers even blocked your search and rescue, you have to sue that idiot. If you hadn’t arrived in time, there would have been countless dead and wounded today.
Everyone laughed.
Antonio said bluntly:
-Mr. Aguayo, thanks to you for bringing me all the way here.
He said and looked at Katarina.
“Otherwise, I don’t know how long Katarina will be caught…”
Carlos continued to focus solely on Micaela:
-Thanks to Micaela, she can always inspire my infinite potential.
Micaela blushed and buried her head to eat, saying nothing.
Carlos’ loving eyes made Micaela could feel it even without looking up.
-These terrorists are bad! Even if they want to commit suicide, they have to hurt so many innocent people. There are already countless dead and injured from the explosion, and yet they plant a timed one just so there will be more dead when a large number of search and rescue personnel come in.
Antonio stroked his chin and said.
Carlos frowned and looked at the little girl chatting with Alba and Katarina, not speaking. Looking at Diego, he nodded with understanding.
