Carlos had a heart attack and held his breath as he continued to feel it, no, no….
-Carlos…
Micaela’s soft and familiar tone sounded, Carlos’ dangling heart dropped suddenly and he reached out to hug her tightly, burying his head in the nest of her neck, Micaela, you scared me to death….
Micaela smelled his unmistakable fresh scent, opened her eyes wide and spoke softly.
-You’re back…
Carlos snapped something and sniffed hard at his necklace, Micaela’s scent, which was fading….
Carlos’ heart shrinks, what does this mean…?
Micaela raised her hand, making an energetic attempt to push him away.
-Carlos, I want to get up.
Carlos pulled himself together and helped her up, sitting down on the edge of the bed next to her.
-Micaela, how do you feel?
Micaela’s whole body is dizzy and dreamy and unreal?
-I…
Sensing that there was someone else in the room, Micaela turned her head and saw Moises heading towards the bathroom and a very well endowed middle-aged woman who, at first glance, was his mother….
Moises’ mother looks much better now and also looks at Micaela….
Looking at the same face as Patricia, Moises’ mother has mixed feelings inside….
Moises tried to sketch a smile and looked at Micaela, who was so soft and tender that his heart felt compassion for her, and told her in a low voice for fear of scaring her.
-Micaela, it has been a long time…..
Gesturing to her mother, who stood beside her, she introduced herself.
-This is my mother.
Micaela smiles as she looks at Moses’ mother.
-Hello, aunt.
Moises’ mother is red-eyed and nods uncontrollably, silly, according to the generation, you have to call me tia?
Moises and his mother sat down and had a brief polite chat with Micaela, Carlos looked at Micaela who had a face as white as paper and couldn’t stay still, he had to find Natalia now!
Get up and tell Micaela.
-Micaela, I’m going out for a minute…..
Micaela reached out and took his hand, looking at him.
-I want you to stay with me.
Her body was different, she could feel it, she was limp, her consciousness was confused, she wanted to wake up, but she couldn’t open her eyes, she heard someone talking in her ear, she heard something about a contract, but she couldn’t control herself, Micaela knew vaguely that the poison had spread throughout her body. Micaela knew vaguely that the poison had spread to her entire bloodstream and that her days were numbered….
Carlos rubbed her head, his voice suppressed.
-Silly, don’t talk nonsense, from now on I’ll have more opportunities to accompany you….
Micaela stood up and wrapped her arms around his waist.
-No Carlos, I’m afraid I won’t wake up if I fall asleep later, I want to see more of you…..
Carlos interrupted her quickly.
-It’s not silly, you’ll be absolutely fine, I’m going back to Javier’s house to lie down….
Micaela bent her head to look at him, with a lost look.
-I’m sure you’ll make it, but what if?
-Not just in case! I’m on my way…
Micaela’s hands were around his waist and he didn’t dare to let go, he looked at her and rubbed her head gently.
-Micaela behave yourself, there are guests here, stay with them and talk, I’ll be back soon.
Micaela’s cheek pressed against his abs and tears slid down her eyes.
-Carlos, if something happens to me, be good and don’t do anything stupid, I, I will come back to you in my next life….
Carlos’ heart was racing.
-It’s no nonsense, in this life we still have a long, long way to go, let’s say that the next life, the next life is also I will come I will come to you…..
-Carlos, promise me that you will be good and you will not do anything stupid, promise me….
Micaela chokes and repeats…
Moses’ mother contemplated the scene with tears in her eyes, and Moses, also with reddened eyes, got up and approached the window….
Carlos tilted his head to hold back the tears, took a deep breath, grabbed her by the shoulders, gently pushed her away and leaned in, his deep eyes shining with determination.
-No, Micaela, I won’t agree, if anything happens to you, I will never live alone, I will kill Natalia myself to keep her company, and more than that, I will kill her whole family and come back for you, so if you don’t want me to have blood on my hands, be a good boy and wait for me to come back with the antidote!
Micaela’s tears slipped like beads from a necklace, reluctantly looking at the man she loved the most….
Carlos brushed her tears away, kissed her softly on the lips again and was about to turn away.
-Carlos, give me another hug….
Micaela spreads her hands, her eyes full of thirst….
Carlos’s heart broke as he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her, bending his head to kiss the top of her hair….
Smelling the familiar scent of his body, Micaela could not bear the drowsiness, her eyelids seemed to hold a thousand pounds, she slowly closed her eyes, the hand that barely held her waist, dangled weakly….
Carlos’s heart sank hard, no, no….
The girl in his arms instantly went limp, not his, and fell backwards onto the bed….
Carlos slowly lowered his gaze, Micaela shrugged her head, with her eyes tightly closed and tears on her cheeks….
A coma, it must be a coma, don’t imagine things!
Carlos commanded himself to think like that, his throat choked and his eyes red as he carefully laid her down and tucked her in, still unable to control his panicked steps, he ran out and dragged Enrique, who was waiting outside, with him.
-Quick, go check on Micaela, she’s unconscious, isn’t she?
Alba, who had been frozen for a second, ran in, she had just heard Micaela awake and talking to Moses….
Everyone gathered around the bed, and Moses and Moses’ mother approached very alarmed, full of anxiety.
Enrique quickly identified himself.
-Carlos, it’s a coma, take it easy.
Carlos exhales forcefully…
Enrique looked at Moses and his mother and asked.
-Are you still unable to change blood?
Moses’ mother affirmed once again.
-Absolutely no change!
Enrique looked at Carlos, who also said nothing and seemed to be listening to them and committing himself.
-Then hurry up and get the antidote…..
Carlos nodded, took a deep look at the unconscious Micaela and headed for the door.
-Mr. Aguayo.
Moises’ mother suddenly stood up and called Carlos.
Carlos paused, only to hear Moises’ mother say.
-As long as you bring the antidote, that matter, I will insist no more.
Do not insist on a false marriage between Micaela and Moses before taking her back to Salamonsa.
Carlos knew what she meant and, without speaking, continued striding towards the door.
He ended up running to a warehouse not far from the hospital.
During this time Diego called several times and Carlos did not answer.
In the warehouse there were many wooden crates for packing and a crude yellow lamp lit in a corner. Javier had his hands and feet tied and fastened to a stool, his face reddened and bruised, his body flayed and torn, his clothes in tatters and covered with frozen blood stains, which was even more creepy, but only when you got closer and looked at him closely did you realize that the wounds were actually the effect of makeup.
Ernesto saw Carlos’ car arrive and turned around to approach.
-Carlos, we’ve been giving her live coverage all day and the vicious bitch is still impassive, I think you’re looking in the wrong direction…
