Micaela’s heart beats, in this life, and the next, and the one after that…..
This is what she used to say…
Half-heartedly, she looked at Carlos and said cautiously:
-Carlos, yes, I said if, two months from now, the antidote is still not in me, you will behave yourself and get Mike out of Salamonsa, okay?
His heart was pounding with pain, but since it was no longer a secret, he had to speak out.
Carlos tightened his arms and explained the decision that had occurred to him on the way back:
-After two months, if he still doesn’t cure you of this poison, I’ll have to take Diego back to Anlandana and give Mike to Tomas to be raised by the couple first, is that okay with you?
asked Micaela nervously at once.
-And you?
-I’ll stay in the nearest Ode Nation and do what I can to help Nilson figure out how to develop an antidote, and then I’ll bring you home.
Micaela’s heart shrinks and she breathes a sigh of relief….
It may be two months from now that the three of us will be on opposite sides of the world. I feel my heart emptying at the thought of it now…
Developing an antidote…
How many times Carlos took her for tests before, returned Salamonsa maternity tests have done everything, not a single problem was made, how easy it is to develop an antidote….
Micaela, startled, thought of something and braced, a little excited, said
-Carlos, could it be, that I don’t really have any poison in me? I don’t have any symptoms at all, maybe Nilson was mistaken as a child and just gave me a drink, after all, he himself was just a half-grown boy back then….
Carlos again clasped the man in his arms and listened to the girl’s excited words for a moment before he had to snap back from that wonderful fantasy.
-Girl, that poison has been one with your blood since you were rarely sick.
Micaela’s heart skipped a beat and the slightest hint of joy was immediately extinguished….
Yes, after remembering what happened when she was a child, she also had the impression that she enjoyed normal health when she was in Salamonsa and also could not go to piano lessons because she had a cold and fever….
-Your body’s resistance to drugs is also due to this poison, it is in your body, both the good and the bad, it is a poison, but it protects you, so that all other kinds of drugs acting on you have a reduced effect, at the same time it strengthens your constitution, so that you don’t get very sick and recover extremely well, only, it cannot leave Salamonsa….
He can’t leave Salamonsa…
And Carlos has a little more than 60 days left here…
A strong feeling of loss arises in Micaela’s heart…
Carlos rubbed her head.
-Girl, I’m thankful for this poison in your body, it has protected you several times.
Micaela froze a little, remembering that the second time she was sent to the hotel by Adriana, she realized her physical, so she gave herself an increase in the dosage of drugs, if it wasn’t for that resistance to drugs that kept her sanity, I’m afraid it was impossible to escape from the clutches of that General Wang, life would be completely different….
And then there was the stabbing on stage, which was coated with poison and could have killed me on that occasion if the drug resistance hadn’t discounted the toxicity….
Carlos tightened his arms and brushed his chin against the top of her head, saying significantly:
-Maybe, it was all meant to be.
Nilson’s movement, although it posed a difficulty between him and the girl in the present, was the same poison that got him through several scares….
Micaela lowered her eyes, yes, so it wasn’t all bad that Nilson tricked her into taking that poison….
Holding him in her little arms, she said slowly .
-Carlos, I used to lament that Alba, Olivia and Katarina had such a rocky road to love, while you and I had a smooth ride, and it turned out that the trials between us hadn’t even started then….
Charles looked down and kissed her forehead, saying to her, and to himself:
-Yes, it’s just a test for us and everything will be fine.
The woman felt the familiar smell of his body and closed her eyes….
Carlos’ deep voice sounded slowly:
-During those turbulent years when “poison” was used to control people’s freedom, many tragic things must have happened in this land, and the evils committed by our ancestors have cost generations of descendants to pay the price.
Micaela’s heart clenched a little as she listened to his powerful heartbeat.
-I wonder if those who imposed poison poison on her people hundreds of years ago to control their freedom against their will will will be sorry to see their children and grandchildren end up trapped here, with the vast majority of men not living past the age of 45, and having to stop the country’s demise by forcing women to leave the country? ?
Carlos squeezed her arms and kissed her forehead.
-Well, they should have been left to their own devices and ended up leaving future generations to suffer the consequences. Now ‘Under Poison’ has been banned and the Salamonsa bosses have tried by all means to rewrite that history, even Nilson has not given up to change his destiny again…
Nilson’s destiny…
Micaela looked at him and asked:
-By the way, Carlos do you already know what “renewal” means?
Carlos looked at the girl and answered:
-That was nothing more than a promise a long, long time ago.
Micaela looked at Carlos with a puzzled face.
-It was a promise made by two people who were in love, and the woman was willing to give half of her life to the other so that the man would live longer, a very solemn promise, only that, as time went by, it became insipid and turned into “renewal of life”.
Micaela looks puzzled, so that’s what it is?
-There are many types of “poison”, one is called “Love Poison” and there are two types of Love Poison, one is for two lovers who love each other and use One is when two lovers love each other and use the “poison” to control their unconditional love for each other, which is said to have the effect of “renewing” the man’s life, but originally it is just a promise, where there is no success rate to speak of, like your mom and dad, grandparents. There is another, which is the effect of forcing the other person to like him to death.
Micaela unconsciously asks:
-Is that what Nilson was trying to do to me three years ago with the “poison”?
Carlos nodded his head.
-One of the requirements of this “poison” is that both parties are first timers, and that the first time they give themselves to each other in the dark, unseen, in what is called a ‘ceremony’. .
Micaela blushes a little as she remembers her night with Carlos three years ago and, half-reacting, asks:
-So Nilson was the one who did it that day when the hotel was without electricity?
Seeing that Carlos nodded, Micaela fell for it, feeling that all doubts about that night three years ago had been cleared up, and immediately asked:
-And what does “backlash” mean? Why does Nilson only live to be 35?
Carlos rubbed his head.
-He hasn’t turned 35 yet, it’s hard to say if his life expectancy has really shortened, I’ve gone into the Salamonsa database and read that very few men actually die at 35, it’s all accidents where the cause of death is traced, most are still in their 40s and 45s. I would also ask Nilson more, but he has talked too much about “poison” to continue…..
Carlos had heard a lot from Nilson, but there was still a lot he couldn’t understand, but if he let Nilson continue, he would probably die and have to stop.
Besides, he also knew that Nilson probably didn’t know much, after all, he was only his age, and it wasn’t easy to know so much about the past when there was no one to communicate with….
Micaela paused, and yes, she had vomited blood before when she heard people talk about it at work to begin with, and Nilson must have endured more pain than a normal person could after telling Carlos so much….
Remembering the earlier conversation, he looked at Carlos and asked again:
-Carlos, have you and Nilson discovered that “poison” automatically generates the necessary external factors in the human body?
