Ernesto’s eyes darkened.
Carlos had told him that he had with him Natalia’s infiltrator, the man, Diego.
Although Diego was his subordinate, Carlos had no less affection for him, no less trust, than he had for any of his brothers.
He too, he and Tomas, Leonardo, had long treated Diego as a friend, he was discreet and had been with Carlos for over ten years and knew him better than any of them.
Just this morning Carlos called Diego and told him to send someone to arrest Javier, and minutes later Javier received a text message from Natalia’s caretaker, aka Amy.
Diego didn’t know that Javier was really by his side, he didn’t know he was exposed like this….
He kept Javier in custody, didn’t answer Diego’s calls for a day, let Ernesto relay everything in between, didn’t let Diego near the hospital near Micaela, and didn’t let him know where Javier was being held, if he had known, what followed, would never have come out so well…. …
-Ernesto, you take Moises and the aunt out to dinner, and arrange a hotel for them to stay, and come back to see Micaela tomorrow when she wakes up.
Carlos got up and gave instructions.
It is 7 o’clock in the evening and dinner is still served.
Moses looked uneasily at Micaela and nodded his head.
He won’t be able to go home without seeing Micaela wake up.
Alba didn’t resist Carlos staying either and was obediently led out by Ernesto.
Sofia, who had been watching outside, came in.
-Sir, shall I fix you some dinner?
Carlos nodded and Sofia withdrew.
Carlos just silently looked at Micaela, and found that her face was also a little more rosy, his heart lifted with joy, he sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed her lips, not deep, just gently allowed her lips, he smelled the fragrance of her body, again as intoxicating as before, he can’t help but be more at ease….
Micaela woke up in a daze, dreaming of the countless normal mornings when Carlos woke her up with kisses and called her a lazy cat….
Feeling Carlos kiss her, Micaela’s consciousness snapped back into place, so it wasn’t a dream, Carlos was really kissing her, and she couldn’t help but feel her heart beating a little faster and her breathing a little more ragged….
Carlos knew that Micaela was awake.
-Micaela…
Carlos’ voice was low and muffled, his hand caressed her forehead, and Micaela opened her eyes and drowned in the deep love in his deep eyes….
Micaela reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.
-Carlos, thank you…
As she was no longer weak, limbless and extraordinarily conscious, she knew that Carlos must have gotten the antidote and that the poison in her body must have disappeared.
Carlos rubbed her head.
-Tontita…
Micaela sat up easily and put her arms around him, and Carlos squeezed hers, smelling the fragrance of her body. He was convinced that his Micaela’s life was not in danger, that she was finally well in his arms, and it was a moment of immense satisfaction and gratitude.
The two embraced in silence, feeling as if they had been through a life or death experience, and at that moment they just wanted to silently experience each other’s body heat.
Halfway through the day, he reached out and rang the electric doorbell, asking Enrique to come back in and take a look at Micaela.
Enrique entered a moment later with a tray, all smiles.
-Micaela is definitely fine, she already has blood on her face.
Despite his words, Enrique did a simple examination and then drew more blood. Carlos’ mouth lifted in a smile as he saw that the blood had returned to a bright red color.
Micaela was also filled with joy and had the feeling that she was fine.
Not to worry them, Carlos called Ernesto and told them that Micaela had woken up so they could eat in peace.
Enrique picked up the IV for Micaela.
-He said, “I’ll tell you the lab results later, so you can eat first.
Ernesto and Alba returned to see Carlos and Micaela sitting together at the dinner table.
Alba ran up excitedly.
-“Oh my God, Micaela, it’s great, you’re finally okay, it’s been a scary day!
If she wasn’t eating at the table, I would have loved to have a big hug with her.
As if she knew what Alba was thinking, Micaela put down her chopsticks, got up and hugged Alba.
-Alba, I’m sorry I worried you.
Alba’s eyes instantly reddened.
-No, I was just very worried, luckily you’re fine, great, great…..
Carlos and Ernesto looked at their wives individually, and the depth of emotion between them also touched them.
After dinner came Tomas and Bianca, who didn’t know that Micaela had been ghosted today and complimented her on how good she looked when she saw her.
A few sit on the couch chatting, Carlos looks at Micaela, flanked by Bianca and Alba, stands up reassuringly and walks out onto the balcony, looking up at the night sky with a deep frown.
-Carlos, Diego may have just been used, he doesn’t even know why he was suddenly fired from his job and he’s been making a lot of calls to me.
Ernesto also came out, leaned his hand on the railing and looked at Carlos as he spoke.
-Diego has been with you for many years, if he was really Natalia’s lapdog, he would have done more than overreach by now, why would he wait until now.
Tomas also stepped forward and said in a serious voice.
-Yes, brother, there must be a misunderstanding somewhere, he has always been loyal to you, how could he have defected?
Carlos had his hands in his pants pockets and his tone was clear and cold.
-After all those years at my side, to think that he would be so easily used by someone else, and that I would keep him around to teach me another lesson in blood later?
He couldn’t afford to bet that Micaela was all he had.
Ernesto and Tomas choke on his words.
Yeah, how could a smart guy like Carlos not know that Diego was being used.
Diego trusted people so easily and made such a big mess this time. Luckily Micaela was out of danger, in any case, she would not have fallen into the hands of the person she trusted the most.
It was already dark and they all returned one by one, leaving Carlos and Micaela alone in the room.
Enrique also brought the latest lab results.
-No, the results came back and everything is normal, that antidote is very powerful, there are no traces of the toxin in the blood.
Both men were completely relieved.
Enrique took the sheet.
-I will show it again to your best friend, keep reading, we have to let her know when the results come back, so rest.
Enrique turned and looked again, wanting to look at Carlos with a twinkle in his eye.
-Carlos, wait, not for the next half month!
Then he hurried out and closed the door behind him, a smirk on his face, because with Micaela’s recovery it wouldn’t take that long, but Carlos had forced him to stay in the hospital until Micaela was discharged, so he had to take it personally!
Enrique went next door to the vip family room and knocked on the door.
No movement.
Keep knocking.
Still no movement.
Knock again…
The door jerked open and Ernesto poked his head in with a look of hatred that could kill him.
Enrique raised an eyebrow, knowing he was probably interrupting a good thing, and took the list in his hand.
-Your girlfriend was the one who told me to let you know when the lab results came back!
Then he turned around in a hurry and left.
Hey, everybody’s in love, let this dog just how embarrassed…..
Ernesto closes the door and Alba is standing behind it with a blush covering her face….
Alba took the exam sheet from Ernesto and before she could read it carefully, Ernesto grabbed her by the waist and led her straight to the big bed.
-Bastard, wait…
-No wait, it’s been so many days, today we finally have good news, don’t you want to comfort your hard working boyfriend?
Micaela’s situation has been on everyone’s mind, now we can all breathe a sigh of relief?
Alba was about to say, fuck you just got laid, when she threw herself on the bed and then her lips were gagged again…
