No, no…
Micaela unconsciously tried to block Carlos again with her body, but Carlos grabbed her in his arms and pounced on her, the two rolled like balls on the ground, the shots grazed their bodies and fell to the ground, the powerful air currents made the leaves dance on the ground….
Carlos held the person tightly in his arms, protecting the back of her neck with one hand, not letting her hit her head with each roll….
Finally, the gunshots stopped and so did they, Carlos protecting the woman on top of him, his deep voice echoing in his ears:
-Micaela, don’t steal from me, it’s my duty to protect you. Micaela, with her whole body still in a spiral of vertigo, opened her tearful eyes to see the blue sky obscured by a gap in the bamboo forest and said firmly:
-No, I have been protected by you countless times, and I am going to protect you too!
Carlos shuddered deeply and looked at the person in his arms….
The girl’s hair was plastered to her cheeks from the tumble, and there were deep tear marks on her small face, clearly messy, but with a deadly messy beauty….
Micaela’s tears slipped from the corners of her eyes and her hands caressed her cheeks, full of sadness….
The shooting had stopped, had Si Yulin’s objective been achieved?
Carlos’ pained face from the blow?
Micaela was choked for words:
-Carlos, you big bad man, if you ever leave Mike and me behind, I will, I will, I will…..
Carlos kissed her on the lips, a slight smile in his eyes.
The phrase popped into the woman’s head:
What a time to kiss!
The thin lips paused on hers just a second before leaving, sensing a crisis and saying:
-Dear, I wasn’t shot, he ran out of bullets. Then he rolled onto his back, the tenderness in his eyes instantly dispersed and was replaced by a cold cruelty. She took the initiative to face Efraim with a beautiful twist, avoiding the knife he held and lunging at him, then quickly grabbed him by the arm and threw him to the ground with a perfect over-the-shoulder slash, dropping the knife to the ground.
-Efraim, I will only have the name Charles for the rest of my life, I don’t care about the money, the status, the City Lord position you care about, why do you have to go to such lengths! Efraim fought against the throbbing pain in his internal organs and stood up, not surprised that Carlos knew what he was saying about his life, and raised his fist to hit Carlos hard.
-You don’t want it, you don’t want it, but you’ve taken all of daddy’s eyes! What makes it so easy for you and Patricia Urena to take away what mother and son have longed for all their lives! Carlos dodged his first punch, the second one froze slightly at the words that came out of his mouth and he received it solidly, staggering back a step and looking at him with eyes full of disbelief.
-What did you say?
Efraim picked up the knife from the floor and lunged for it.
-I say that my mother never had my father’s heart in her life because he had Patricia Urena in his heart and I never had his approval in my life because he thought you were the best son he had! Carlos was stunned; it turned out that the man was Katarina unforgettable to his mother?
Efraim pounces and Carlos unconsciously avoids backing away.
How dare you come to Salamonsa, you asked for it, I’m going to kill you! With anger in his eyes, Carlos kicked the knife out of his hand before delivering a swift punch to Efraim’s stomach, making him fall down doubled over!
-You couldn’t earn it yourselves, so why blame us, mother and son? Did your family have anything to do with the poison they gave my mother when she left Salamonsa? He hated Matthew for not protecting his mother, and when he found out the truth, he hated his supposed real father. He didn’t know what circumstances he was in, whether he was expected to be her son or not, but he preferred to heed his mother’s wishes and live in the present, not caring about the old stories of the previous generation But why does all this crap still have to come around!
They both struck each other like furious lions, leaving no stone unturned, occasionally hitting the bamboo next to them, causing it to rattle and the leaves to fall….
Efraim’s attack was a desperate move, Carlos was able to stand his ground and defend himself while still attacking hard, but as the snake venom spread, the dizziness made him feel as if the whole bamboo forest was shaking and the toxin flowed fearfully into his heart chakra, he struggled to catch his breath, and without looking, was kicked to the ground….
Micaela shouted to the sides to stop the fight, but it was in vain, her heart was swelling with anxiety and anguish, several times she wanted to run to stop it, but she knew it would only distract Carlos.
-Efraim, that’s enough! Carlos would have abandoned Salamonsa, why do you have to kill him, if you do, your father will only hate you more!
Carlos looked at the girl with his back to him and the heat rose in his heart, trying to adjust his breathing, weak, that toxin was spreading too fast, not that snake venom, Efraim was definitely no match for him….
Micaela’s roar failed to bring Efraim back to his senses, Carlos’ presence had always been like a thorn in his throat, long endured to the point of not getting it out, he picked up the knife from the ground, stepped forward, pulled Micaela’s arm, threw her off, crouched down and stabbed hard!
Carlos gasped and rolled, seeing the girl thrown a good distance away from Efraim and falling to the ground, he became enraged and with renewed strength, kicked Efraim hard in the head, knocking him to the ground….
Efraim had been awake all night, preparing to stop the Echave family and Nilson from climbing the hill, while at the same time trying to find Carlos who had disappeared in the bamboo forest, and now he was also exhausted, and when he saw Carlos get up, he immediately pounced on him again….
The two men struggled, sometimes Efraim had the frying pan by the handle, sometimes Carlos had the frying pan by the handle, and with another roll, Efraim picked up the knife from the ground again and sat down whole on top of Carlos, watching his eyes grow laxer and laxer and knowing that he had victory in his hands.
Even if he hadn’t stabbed him, he would have died here from the snake venom, but he himself would have ended his life!
-Carlos, goodbye!
No, never again!
With that, he raised his knife and stabbed hard.
