Carlos looked at Mica with some surprise.
And she continued:
-Last night, when I looked at the photo of her, I felt that her face rang a bell. Today, after what happened, I have been trying to remember all afternoon and I finally remembered when was the last time I saw her.
Carlos stared at her and couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Micaela squeezed Carlos’ hand and asked:
-Remember that time I fainted in the Catyblaca Nation? I told you that I had a dream?
Carlos reacted and asked with an astonished expression:
-The person in your dream is…?!
Micaela nodded.
-Yes, I dreamt about your mother. In the dream, I was 6 or 7 years old, and your mother was holding me in her arms. She was very beautiful and she was even more beautiful when she smiled.
With a single force, Carlos pulled Mica into his arms and said:
-Mica, how is it possible that there is such a coincidence?
Micaela also hugged him and said:
-When your father wakes up, we will be able to know more about your mother and maybe he will know some clues about my origin…..
Carlos nodded and hugged the little woman more tightly.
However, the reality was not as good as they thought.
The next day, the doctor showed up, and shook his head helplessly after examining Matthew’s condition.
-Carlos, I’m so sorry. But your father probably doesn’t want to wake up. All his body’s vitals are normal, but he shows no signs of waking up….
Carlos frowned and Micaela looked a little incredulous.
Tomas, who had arrived at the hospital with Bianca first thing in the morning, asked:
-In other words, has my dad turned into a vegetable?
The doctor nodded helplessly and said:
-Yes, but he’ll wake up when he wants to, maybe in the next minute or tomorrow. Of course, it is possible that he will not wake up for the rest of his life?
Suddenly, Micaela thought of a popular phrase on social media: “You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.”
“Is Matthew resisting waking up because in his sleep is the woman he loves the most?”
At the doctor’s words, both Charles and Thomas were crestfallen.
They had not spent much time with their father, and after their mother’s death, communication between father and sons were even less.
Carlos, in particular, hated his father. He hated him because he believed his father did not protect his mother well and let her choose suicide. If he had paid more attention to his mother’s innermost thoughts and loved her more, she would not have chosen suicide.
But now, seeing him lying unconscious on the bed, the hatred went out of Carlos.
There were doctors and professional caregivers at the hospital to care for Matthew, so there was no need for Charles and Thomas to stay in the ward, but the brothers still took turns staying with their father at the hospital.
Both had already experienced the pain of losing their beloved mother, so they wanted to cherish their loved ones more.
After three days of depression, Carlos and Micaela planned to return to Teladia.
In the living room sat the old man, Barcelo was standing with his pipe in his hand and the others were seated around him.
Carlos took Micaela’s hand and sat down on the sofa in front of his grandfather.
You could sense the sad atmosphere of farewell in the room.
Since that day of the accident, no one else mentioned Carlos’ mother again and it seemed that everyone was deliberately avoiding this topic.
Like others, Carlos was also reluctant to bring up the subject again, but unexpectedly, the old man took the initiative to talk about it:
-Carlos, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have put all the blame on your mother. It was Fernando who didn’t want to complicate things any more for your mother and left on his own. I shouldn’t have blamed her for his death…..
Carlos clenched his palms slightly and didn’t speak.
-Carlos, I never despised you, on the contrary, you are my favorite grandson….
It was because the old man liked his grandson so much, that’s why he hated his mother even more and blamed her for everything when he found out that his favorite grandson was not blood of the Aguayo family.
Micaela took Carlos’ hand. He looked softly at her Mica, who had a worried look on her face, and felt something warm inside.
“Honey, don’t worry so much about me. I’m not that fragile.”
Then she looked her grandfather in the eyes and spoke seriously:
-Grandpa, everything past is already in the past. Whatever happens, I will be your grandson and a part of the Aguayo family forever.
Hearing this, the old man became very emotional and burst into tears.
Fortunately, what he feared most did not happen.
The old man’s gesture astonished everyone around him.
Barcelo looked scornfully at Carlos and scoffed:
-Who do you think you are to say such things? Do you deserve to be part of our family?
Micaela looked fiercely at Barcelo and wanted to step forward to refute, but Carlos squeezed her hand and told her:
-Mica, calm down. I’ll take care of the rest.
As much as he liked his wife to protect him, as a man, he had to be a strong supporter of his wife.
Carlos got up and approached Barcelo.
Barcelo was forced to take a step back by his strong aura.
-“Uncle Barcelo, whether today is the last time I treat you from uncle or not, that’s up to you. If you still want to stay in the Aguayo family, you better not mess with me.
Barcelo could not stop his legs from trembling at his words.
After saying that, Carlos looked Barcelo in the eye. Faced with his deep gaze, Barcelo was so stunned that he could not utter a single word.
Micaela stepped forward and took Carlos by the hand. Then the two of them looked at the old man together.
Micaela shook his arm and Carlos, unnaturally, opened his mouth:
-Grandpa, when I have some free time, I’ll come back to visit you with Mica.
Grandpa nodded excitedly and said:
-Well. It will be better if next time you come back with a baby.
Micaela’s face flushed immediately, and she lowered her head shyly.
Carlos did not take the old man’s words seriously, and said:
-Don’t worry too much about my father. He will wake up when he wants to. You have to take good care of your own health, and you can leave matters to the young men…..
Carlos cast an indifferent glance at his uncles and relatives, and deliberately raised his voice:
-Tomas and I will take overall control.
Grandfather nodded:
-I am in a good state of health, so neither you nor Micaela need to worry about me.
He had gone through many difficulties to establish the Aguayo Group and make his family one of the most prestigious in the city, and naturally he would not be easily knocked down.
Carlos also knew very well that his grandfather was not so fragile.
Tomas, who had been upstairs, putting medicine on his wound, came downstairs at that moment and said:
-Are you all ready? Carlos, let’s go!
The old man accompanied them to the doorway. After saying goodbye to the grandfather, Carlos and Micaela got into one car, Tomas and Bianca into the other, and left the Aguayo family villa.
Carlos hugged Micaela and said:
-Mica, at last we can go back to our house.
Micaela was snuggled in Carlos’ arms, and felt a little nauseous all of a sudden.
“Why am I nauseous, did I get pregnant because Carlos didn’t wear a condom that night? It can’t be that casual, can it! What do I do with my business cooperations if I’m really pregnant?”
Carlos knew what Micaela was thinking. When Grandpa was talking about the baby, he sensed her flushed and uneasy face.
He had been impulsive that night, but he had no regrets. If Micaela really became pregnant, he would wait with her for the arrival of her baby. If not, he could spend more time alone with her.
With that in mind, he hugged Mica a little tighter, who was already a little sleepy.
The car was about to pull out onto the highway when Carlos’ phone rang. And Micaela was awakened by the noise of the cell phone.
Seeing that it was her grandfather’s call, Carlos hurried to answer it.
As soon as the call connected, his grandfather’s excited voice came from the other end of the phone:
-Carlos, your father is awake!
