Diego winced and asked no more questions.
-I’ll get to it.
Then turn around and leave.
Carlos took a deep breath, he still couldn’t suppress his rage and pain, he raised his fist and was about to smash it against the wall, but finally he restrained himself, his hand was hurt Micaela would find out, he couldn’t let her find out, she had to be happy, he would get the antidote!
When Carlos returned to his room, Micaela had finished a small bowl of porridge and was resting on the sofa, still pale, while Alba and Ernesto busied themselves in the kitchen, stirring to do the dishes.
Micaela heard the door open and hurried to say.
-Carlos, they have left you some porridge on the table, go and eat it quickly…..
As she turned her head sideways to see Carlos, her heart skipped a beat and she tried to sit up straight, Carlos sat down quickly and stopped her movement.
Micaela, obedient, did not move, looked at Carlos and asked.
-Carlos, what’s wrong with you?
Between eyebrow and eyebrow, he looked strange.
Carlos rubs his head, every time, the slightest difference in him, Micaela always sees the difference?
Deep eyes scrutinized his face as pale as paper, hurting him so much….
-I’m fine, I’m going to the office later, I’ll be back soon.
Micaela nodded her head, feeling guilty for always worrying him, urgent.
-Okay, go have breakfast. I can’t go anywhere, I’ll wait for you here, there’s a doctor and a nurse and Alba, don’t worry about me.
Carlos touched her lightly on the forehead, got up and sat at the table, finished his thin meal in two or three gulps and came back to her, it was already time for the IV later and helped her back to the bed to lie down.
Micaela’s heart clenched as she suddenly remembered the subject discussed earlier and his hand grabbed her arm.
-Are you going to Natalia?
Carlos’ mouth quirked into a smile and he sat on the edge of the bed.
-I’m sure I’m going to find out, I’m going to make it easy for the woman who bullied me, Micaela, you should be worried about me seeing her and strangling her, not falling in love with her.
Micaela, on the other hand, sniffed and got even more worried.
-No Carlos, don’t do anything to her either, it’s against the law to kill someone, leave it in the hands of the authorities, the law will punish her, don’t get your hands dirty…..
Carlos looked at Micaela with eyes full of affection and, with a slight choked sound, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
She happens to be so pale, not only because she is now weak, and lost too much blood yesterday, but also because the blood production function has been damaged….
She wants Micaela to look as rosy as ever….
The glass walls of the kitchen were transparent and Ernesto caught her movements and turned to stop Alba from leaving.
-They’re kissing, don’t disturb them.
Alba raised an eyebrow and was about to lean in to watch when Ernesto took her in his arms and turned her around so her back was to them.
-What’s to see, your boyfriend is here, kiss him all you want!
And then they kissed without saying a word.
Carlos savored it slightly, and indeed, after the kiss, Micaela’s face flushed a little….
She knew it was just a self-deception, she had to find Natalia as fast as possible!
Soon after Enrique himself came and connected Micaela’s line.
Alba flipped through the list and let out two stutters.
-My God, to hang up so much, this is going to hang up until it gets dark again!
Enrique speaks.
-You can’t help it, your body has a different tolerance to drugs, and half of these potions, most of which just pass through your body, don’t do much, except say they help your body speed up your recovery, I guess.
Carlos looked at Micaela thoughtfully, his heart spinning in a hundred different directions.
Ernesto’s assistant called, urging him to leave after a small altercation with Alba.
Just as he left, Tomas, Bianca and Antonio, Katarina arrived.
Tomas had traveled from Salamentro and when he saw Carlos he asked anxiously.
Brother, is sister-in-law well? Grandfather was so anxious that he had to come alone, and I had to persuade him for a long time before he agreed to let me come first.
Gu Hanmo nodded, thinking it was good that Tomas had come, one more helper.
Tomas approached the bed and comforted Micaela.
Sister-in-law, get better, my brother will do the rest, so don’t worry.
Micaela smiled and nodded her head, happy to see her friends arrive.
-Mmmmmm, I’m fine, much better, and I just got down and walked around for a while.
Several women didn’t even have time to have a proper conversation, one after another people kept arriving, Lu Nianjin and Eric arrived with several Brillantella representatives, Carlos’ associates also arrived before and after them.
Mr. Aguayo’s girlfriend had a -job injury- and was exposed, so she had to come to visit him.
In less than an hour, the whole room was full of flowers and fruit baskets.
Seeing that Micaela’s face was a little tired, Carlos immediately gave the order to vacate and invited all the people to leave, leaving only a few of Micaela’s friends, and finally even told the bodyguard not to let anyone in.
Antonio planned to return to the office after leaving his wife, so, after politely greeting Micaela and whispering to Katarina, he prepared to leave.
Carlos kissed Micaela’s forehead reluctantly and explained.
-Don’t get tired, I’ll be back at noon.
Micaela nodded and spoke with some urgency.
-It is not allowed to be impulsive…..
In fact, she wanted to say: -Are you not going to see Natalia…?
Carlos rubbed her head and whispered something about little idiots, and Micaela blushed slightly instantly.
The three men left together.
Bianca and Katarina took the opportunity to kiss and sit on the stool in front of the bed.
-Micaela, are you better?
-You are very pale, you need to take more blood supplements?
-Yes, I don’t know how long it will take me to recover all the blood I lost yesterday….
-Suffering, and from now on every day will be peaceful and without any more twists and turns!
Katarina and Bianca make Micaela talk.
Alba washed the fruit in the kitchen and came out, handing it out to the girls as she spoke.
-All right, the doctor said this morning that we can go home to recover after a few more days of observation, so all of you put your hearts in your stomachs, we are blessed with Micaela’s life.
Micaela still can’t eat anything that isn’t very digestible, so Alba was kind enough to squeeze her a glass of juice in the kitchen.
-I saw the video that came in yesterday from the live audience and Adriana didn’t seem to know the sword was real either….
Katarina spoke curiously.
Micaela was debating a bit between telling the truth about Natalia and Carlos saying that there was still no substantial evidence, so she decided to leave it at that and wait until the matter was cleared up, otherwise Alba would be the first to jump.
Bianca also watched the video and gave her opinion.
-I think she is probably letting someone take advantage of her, unless she is seeking death, how else would she commit murder in the public eye?
Alba deeply resents Adriana and doesn’t hesitate to retort.
-No, I think it’s her! That woman is very bad and has seen nothing good in Micaela since she was a child!
Micaela thought of the complicated look Antonio had just given her, and of the night before, of the chance encounter in the parking lot of the Netflix restaurant, with mixed feelings, not realizing that Bianca had asked first.
-By the way, Katarina, how are things going with your husband and Adriana?
The news about the two of them was only in the headlines for a little while yesterday, especially when it came out and completely sank in, and presumably Mr. Carballo didn’t see the news.
Katarina put on a grim face and smiled slightly.
-Antonio and I explained to him that it was Adriana who tricked him into going there that day, telling him she knew a secret that would ruin Marcos and blackmailed him into seeing her, it’s okay, don’t worry.
Secrets?
Micaela and Bianca looked at each other and said nothing more.
It seems that Antonio had also crossed his fingers, knowing that they were there and that they might have heard something they shouldn’t have, and had given Katarina a preventive injection earlier.
Katarina is really, unconditionally trusting Antonio, without thinking much at all?
-Adriana can’t be playing any tricks now that she’s alone. By the way, Antonio and I went home last night to rest and Marcos told me that yesterday afternoon he went to see Adriana.
The three women looked at Katarina with sudden curiosity.
Katarina is not sold either.
-Marcos also felt that it was Adriana who was going to hurt Micaela, in the most dangerous way possible. Let’s not forget that she is now an actress and her actions on stage must have been acted to make everyone believe that she couldn’t have done something like that in full view of everyone, plus with her own shocked face, everyone thought she was innocent and was taking advantage of everyone’s sympathy and reasoning.
Alba nodded her head for a while.
-She also said that she made it clear to Adriana inside that she should never look for him, Antonio, or Micaela to hurt her again. I guess it’s finally over between her and Marcos, for good.
I don’t think so, and I don’t think Antonio will be approached again?
Katarina thought faintly.
She is certainly not stupid, once or twice, three or four times on the bench with another woman, she is more or less indifferent, just, her love for Antonio, she chose to believe him?
They stayed until noon, when their own husbands came to pick them up, before leaving each.
Ernesto could not get away, Sofia went to the hospital to prepare food for Micaela and Alba, and the man who had said he would be back at noon did not return until the afternoon.
When she woke up, she heard Alba talking to someone in a low voice, and slowly opened her eyes to see that it was Leonardo.
Actually, Leonardo had just arrived, he had returned from a business trip and had come straight from the airport.
Seeing that Micaela was awake, he got up from the sofa and walked over.
Alba carefully helped Micaela to sit up, with a few more pillows behind her back.
-Micaela, I’m here to see you on behalf of me and Olivia, are you better?
Micaela smiles.
-Well, much better, Leonardo, is Olivia in contact with you?
