The voice on the other end of the line immediately panicked.
-Nilson, I’m sorry, I bothered my brother to tell me, don’t blame my brother, I just wanted to see, what kind of woman, attracted your attention, I didn’t bother her, I just looked the other way, I didn’t do anything to hurt her?
-You hurt my mother with what you said in front of her!
Nilson interrupted her directly.
-You’re trying to go ahead and discredit Rain’s image so my mother won’t see it, aren’t you?
-I… I’m just telling the truth, I’m not adding anything, I’ve asked her colleagues at Echave City Hospital and nobody really knows the baby’s father…..
Nilson frowned, it seems that Ian didn’t tell us that Lluvia was forced….
Why didn’t he say so?
Nilson didn’t have time to think much about it as Leila’s increasingly terrified voice was interspersed with sobs….
-Nilson, why shouldn’t she? That woman is carrying a child of unknown origin, but I’m clean and I’m all yours, do you really want to look at me? I’m really no worse than her…
Nilson leaned back, pinched his forehead with his fingers, and his speech deliberately slowed and softened.
-Leila, you’re no worse than anyone else, you’re good, and in my heart you’ve always been my sister, and I can’t look at you more seriously than that.
I apologize to you for that ridiculous night, and believe me, you deserve a better man for life.
Leila shouted louder, with a hint of histrionics:
-There is no better, not you, I don’t want the best, Nilson, it’s you I like, I don’t want to be your sister, I want to be your wife…..
Leila’s cries did not evoke the slightest softness, nor compassion in Nilson, but rather a certain irritation, and his mind suddenly recalled the day when he first bought Estela a dress, in the coffee, when he held her in his arms and walked towards Lluvia, and saw the tear stains on her face….
At that moment, one’s mood didn’t seem to be one of annoyance….
Rather it is curious and inquisitive…..
There is something else, he doesn’t know….
Halfway through, the unanswered question was pushed aside and once again the voice became loud.
-Leila, don’t go back to Lluvia; I wouldn’t have married you even if I hadn’t married her.
Then he hung up at once, dropped the phone on the table, leaned his head back in the chair and closed his eyes….
Every word he said was true, marrying no one, not her….
A few moments more irritated at the thought of Ian, who had leaked information repeatedly, Nilson sat back down, picked up his cell phone and called him.
The phone quickly picked up and Ian’s respectful voice was heard:
-Sir…
Nilson got straight to the point and said:
-Ian, not only did Leila go to Rain, but she went to my mother, you know?
The interlocutor breathed backwards….
Leila not only went to see Dr. Rain, but she also went to see Mrs. Shaw….
You really don’t know…
Ian, full of remorse, but not defending himself, said apologetically:
-Sir, I’m sorry, it’s my fault…..
Nilson growled.
-Indeed, not only is your job getting worse, you’re also causing me problems, and until I find out who raped Lluvia, you’re out as an assistant.
Then he hung up the phone again.
After calming down a bit, I looked at the phone again and saw that there was an unread text message.
Click on it and it’s from Carlos.
-Micaela has a postnatal checkup the day after tomorrow and arrangements have been made for Lluvia to return early.
Nilson looked at the string of words and got very angry.
What does this tone of taking things for granted mean?
Is he the owner of the hospital?
It took him a lot of effort to find a bullshit reason to give him a bonus last time, but he didn’t find out about the foul play?
Arrange it if you say so….
Arrangements…
Nilson gaped and realized that Carlos was giving him advice on how to get to Lluvia.
Near Lluvia…
Nilson’s heart softened as he remembered Estela’s little face….
I want so much to see her and hold that soft baby….
He couldn’t remember how many days he hadn’t seen her, it seemed like half a century….
Will the woman suddenly get a big “bonus” and be in a good mood and treat him better?
A big bonus…
Nilson thought of something and slapped his thigh.
Why give him so much money?
If he had money, he wouldn’t have stayed at home!
No, to see Estela every day, he had to do something else!
See Estela…
Nilson would love to see Estela right now!
Checking the time, he grabbed his car keys and typed…
