Carlos was stunned, his heart raced for a moment….
Micaela touched his cheek with one hand, looked at him and said slowly word by word, watching his reaction carefully:
-Alba is my best friend, Bianca was there when she knew she was pregnant, Katarina had a child, she and Antonio are half-siblings, Olivia and Leonardo lost their first child, all because of Leonardo’s mother….
Carlos’s eyes were filled with disbelief, she knew it so clearly….
-Carlos, promise me, don’t ask, don’t think about who I am and what relationship I had with you before, okay?
She didn’t mention Micaela’s name or her past, so Carlos couldn’t think about that, could he?
Carlos was in an indescribably complicated mood, the girl’s eyes were so cautious, as if she was afraid of irritating him….
He pulled her hand down, held it in his palm, stroked the back of her head with one hand and pressed his forehead against hers.
-It’s okay, go on.
Micaela ordered her chaotic thoughts and said slowly:
-Just remember, I’m Moya now, a new person in your world, I know you have many doubts, it’s not that I don’t tell you, it’s that I can’t tell you, this morning I said what I shouldn’t say yes, it made you vomit blood and you fainted, that’s why you slept all afternoon, don’t ask me what I said, I can’t answer you, I can’t see how what happened in the afternoon is repeated….
Now thinking of the scene of seeing him fall, still makes her tremble with fear….
She will be cruel to Nilson and will want to find more retreats for Carlos. That is also why the word Micaela is Carlos’ Achilles heel, which is very unfavorable for him in front of Nilson. That is why she uses her own To make a bet, Nilson must also realize that if he dares to hurt Carlos, he will be destroyed and get nothing!
Carlos was extremely shocked, vomited blood and fainted, but he had no image?
Just because the girl said something she shouldn’t?
Carlos felt unbelievable…
Now I’m Moya, a new person in your world….
Carlos chewed this sentence, no, every word of hers was worth chewing….
Struggling to digest her words, Carlos went back and forth in his mind, stating in his heart that there must have been some conspiracy between him and the girl in the past, and a flash of inspiration shone in his mind and he asked:
-Is it related to Natalia ?
Micaela blushed and nodded.
-He is also related to Nilson. They used to have a cooperative relationship. Natalia’s target is you and his target is me.
Micaela gets to the point.
Carlos’, after a while, his eyes rested on her belly, and his big hand pressed against her belly, feeling the slight agitation of the girl….
The woman in front of him protects him with her life, he firmly believes that she will never lie to him, and she will never lie to him with her child….
Then he became very excited, what she said really hit him, the big and small things in front of him belonged to him, and his heart was filled with joy in an instant.
He reached out and drew her into his arms, there was nothing that made him happier than this.
-I understand, child, I trust you, I don’t think about it.
He is so stupid, to have eaten his own jealousy for a week, to suspect that she thought of him as someone else, how such a slow and reserved girl could accept him so easily and be intimate with him, it turns out that he is that man….. …
No wonder she said before that the child’s father is from Anlandana, and he is from Teladia, it turned out that what he said was excellent, tender, dominant, and he loved her very much, and all he said was he….
Although he was surprised and unbelievable, but he liked the answer, he could not help but squeeze her arms even tighter, hugging her, smelling the fragrance on her body, he felt the joy of regaining the lost.
He doesn’t think about it, and he has no place to think about it. The memory of her in his mind is only a dozen days since we met, but he firmly believes that the girl is in his chaotic and forgotten memory.
Micaela calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. That’s great, she finally said. Carlos’ reaction was much, much better than she expected. He didn’t ask questions, didn’t think deeply and I just believed her.
His big hands stroked her hair, and his thin lips whispered in her ear:
-Girl, I’m sorry.
-Huh?
Micaela was puzzled.
Carlos tightened his arms around her.
-Before I came to Salamonsa, I was very anxious, restless and always felt that something was too late. It didn’t go away until I saw you. It turned out I was anxious because our baby was about to be born, but I was not by your side. Such a long pregnancy made you survive alone, I’m sorry I was too late.
Micaela’s tears fell.
-It’s not too late, it’s not too late….
He doesn’t have all the memories of her, but he still loves her so deeply. This affection makes her tears fall uncontrollably….
Carlos sucked the tears from her cheeks, but the more he sucked, the more his heart ached.
-Hey, girl, don’t cry, cry until my heart breaks…..
Holding her in his arms, he gently coaxed her for a long while, seeing her slowly stop crying, Carlos let go of her, got up from the bed, went into the closet, came out after a while, sat down next to her and stretched. his palms towards her, Inside was a platinum bracelet.
-Girl, is this yours?
Micaela looked at the bracelet with an astonished face, it was a birthday gift from Alba, it was lost when she accepted Bianca’s watch as collateral, and now it’s in Carlos’ hands …
Trembling, she took the bracelet and held it in the palm of her hand, Micaela, moved and joyful, sniffed and looked at it with tears in her eyes.
-Why is it in your hands?
Alba before, I want this, and I asked for it.
Micaela was so moved that she took the bracelet and asked:
-Did you forget Ernesto behind Alba?
Carlos frowned slightly, he had the impression that Alba had a strange face blindness, but he didn’t hear Ernesto mention it afterwards, and shook his head.
-I haven’t forgotten, maybe it’s already good. Katarina is the daughter of his relatives, not the daughter of President Zhou, so she and Antonio are not siblings. Olivia and Leonardo are already together. Leonardo’s mother did not stop. They all had a very happy time.
Carlos finished explaining in one breath, and Micaela was terribly shocked to hear so much good news at once, she did not know how to react….
Carlos looked at her pretty look and rubbed her head.
-Is there anything else you want to ask? It’s not up to you to answer my question.
-Yes, yes, Alba, Bianca, Olivia, Katarina….
Micaela was very excited, she wanted to know the recent situation of her good friends, and she was incoherent, she didn’t know who to ask first….
-I don’t know them. I only know that they are happy. I don’t know the details.
Carlos abruptly interrupted her.
Micaela was stunned for a while….
Carlos wanted to laugh and kissed her on the lips.
-I’m really not familiar, I didn’t look at other women anymore.
Micaela suddenly felt sweetness in her heart and a smile at the corner of her lips.
Carlos rubbed his head and asked:
-Can you answer my question?
Micaela paused, bit her lip and looked at him.
You and Moises met because of me. He pretended not to recognize me just now. It was my mother who told him beforehand.
Carlos frowned and nodded in half-understanding. He was indeed vague about how he knew Moses. He only knew that he knew him, but he wasn’t quite clear how. He asked again after a long while:
-What did your friend say today, sacrifice?
Micaela thought for a while before she realized she was talking about what Lluvia said during the morning checkup, thought about it and answered:
-I was telling you before that in Salamonsa men usually don’t reach 45 years old, but some do, because there is a ‘ritual’ that is not clearly confirmed. This ritual is to extend life to the other half of his destiny.’, to give the woman’s life to the other half, to be willing to marry him and give birth means that I am willing to share my life with the other half. Therefore, what Rain means is that I sacrifice my own self I want to give birth to a son for you…..
The undisguised disbelief in Carlos’ eyes….
-The reason it has not been confirmed is because, this is not absolute, my parents, grandparents and grandparents have gone through such rituals. Grandmother and my mother voluntarily extended their lives, but grandfather and father still did not live. Plus 45 years, but looking at all Salamonsa, there are successful people, and they are not few.
Carlos frowned, what an absurd statement, has circulated in a country for so long, the tricks in it may not be simple, he does not believe that there is such a saying as -extension of life?
After a while, he asked:
-How is Nilson so sure that you are his life?
Micaela thought today of stabbing him in the chest with a knife, her heart shrank and she shook her head.
-He’s so stubborn.
After a pause, Micaela looked at him and continued saying something that had always been unbelievable:
-Salamonsa’s men can’t do without Salamonsa. They will die in three months if they leave this land, but the women will not. That is why, so that Salamonsa does not perish, Salamonsa’s managers do not allow the women to leave.
Carlos frowned and asked again:
-So, what happened with the reaction?
Micaela shook her head.
-It’s been eight months since I’ve been back and I haven’t noticed. There are indeed people who did not pass the ‘ritual’ and died before the age of 40, or even earlier. That is forbidden to talk about in Salamonsa. All Salamonsa citizens, when the time is right, take an inhibitor called ‘Antinolol’ to prevent people from talking about ‘rituals’, ‘curses’, ‘counterproductive’.
This is the conclusion he came to this afternoon based on Dr. Juan’s words and his earlier inferences, Micaela thinks it is almost the same.
Carlos’ face tightened and he looked at her.
-What about you? Did you eat this mess?
