Yes, a new life…
She didn’t want to go on dwelling on the past, she didn’t like being so conflicted with herself now, let alone in the situation she was in….
Ian’s eyes were full of disbelief.
-Dr. Rain, are you really, really going to give Estela to Mr. Nilson?
Lluvia rubbed his eyes and clutched his chest….
Estela was her daughter and she regretted being so impulsive, even if she had wanted Nilson to give Estela a better life and send her away from Salamonsa, she should have at least waited until Estela was weaned….
Ian saw Rain’s struggle and joy welled up in his heart.
-Miss Rain, don’t worry, Mr. Nilson won’t take Estela, she’s downstairs, I’m going to tell him that Estela is his…..
He was about to leave when Lluvia got up hurriedly to stop him.
-No, don’t tell him!
Ian paused in his movements, remembering what she had said earlier, and asked tentatively:
-Doctor Lluvia, you are, in fact, fond of Mr. Nilson, or, a little more than ‘fond’, and you hope, he is the man you love, and loves you too, right?.
Is it that obvious?
Lluvia looks away silently, an unspoken emotion welling up in her heart….
Ian looks at Lluvia and feels a little guilty about Leila, not only not helping his sister convince Mr. Nilson to marry her in a big way, but also trying to pressure his crush to open her heart to his intended….
-Dr. Rain, I meant you absolutely no harm and I had no intention of threatening you when I came to the hotel that night, it was only to check with you to see if Estela had met that night…..
Realizing he had made a mistake, Ian hastened to add:
-Of course, I am now quite sure that Estela is definitely Mr. Nilson’s! My purpose in coming up to talk to you was actually to tell you that Mr. Nilson is special to you as well, I just don’t think he’s acknowledged your heart for a while….
Lluvia’s hand clenched into a fist, thinking about what she had just said to herself, thinking about all the calls she had made to him for almost a year now, talking about Moya, and not feeling almost ridiculous about her expectations….
As if he knew what she was thinking, Ian spoke at length:
-You know, Mr. Nilson has been obsessed with Miss Moya for half his life, it’s not something you can just let go of just like that…..
Lluvia laughed out loud….
With this smile of Lluvia’s, Ian’s heart dropped dangling and he smiled too…. -said Lluvia unnaturally:
-Let me think.
There was no outright refusal, and Ian felt even more eager to ask a question he had wanted to ask before:
-Dr. Rain, I’m actually curious why you kept the baby in the first place.
It was impossible to claim that Dr. Rain would have been interested in Mr. Nilson at that time. He was still struck by the tears in her eyes when she tore up the check he had given her that night under the guise of compensation, and he was sure that Lluvia had absolutely hated him and Mr. Nilson back then….
Lluvia cocked his head slightly to one side and let out a sigh.
-Because I am a doctor and I know how cruel it is to remove a child…..
The only pharmacy in that town didn’t even have emergency medication to prevent pregnancy. By the time he got back to town, it was too late, thinking it wouldn’t be that much of a coincidence, but I didn’t expect to get pregnant. ….
Ian is full of excitement.
-Dr. Lluvia, I thank you for Mr. Nilson, for keeping his child, you give Mr. Nilson a chance and I am sure he will take a break from his feelings for Miss Moya and set his eyes on you.
Lluvia couldn’t help but smile again at how Ian cared so much about him.
-Don’t you worry that he really wants the position of Mrs. Borranio?
Ian laughed.
-No, you’re not, you’re such a purpose that you could have come to me while pregnant, and, like Senorita Moya, you’re clear-eyed, you’ve never had a thought like that.
Moya…
Lluvia is a little out of breath and laughs bitterly in her mind….
Let’s forget about it and get out before we sink too deep….
Halfway through, she said:
-Ian, don’t tell her about Estela yet.
The future Mrs. Bolaneo’s request was one that Ian, naturally, did not dare to refuse so easily, nodding his head and confessing:
-To be honest, it also took me a tremendous amount of courage to tell Mr. Nilson that it was you that night, Mr. Nilson trusted me so much and I dropped the ball several times, hiding from him and lying to him, I was questioning whether I should resign voluntarily….
Rain couldn’t help but smile again at that.
-It’s a great loss to him that you’re gone.
Naturally, Ian is happy to be recognized, but at the same time he finds it difficult.
His attitude is now very clearly on Rain’s side, turning away and not knowing what to say to Leila and the whole thing to Mr. Nilson….
In short, he is a bad person inside and out….
After coming to this conclusion, Ian turned away sadly.
-Dr. Rain, I’m going to ask Mr. Nilson to take Estela upstairs.
With that he turned around and headed for the door, this time Lluvia did not stop….
As Ian opened the door and walked out, he thought:
Anyway, she didn’t stop Leila from deceiving Mr. Nilson in time, and she hid from Mr. Nilson that Dr. Rain was the woman who saved Mr. Nilson’s life, but now she makes up for it by trying to get him and Dr. Rain together….
Soon after, Ian knocked on Nilson’s door and it took a while for Nilson to show up with Estela in his arms.
He just found a house, borrowed water and went to change Estela’s diaper….
Ian was afraid Rain wouldn’t open the door, so he left it open and waited outside for Mr. Nilson to come up, watching the door to see if Rain would close it, and when he saw Mr. Nilson appear, he hurried to signal him to come in.
Nilson cast a thoughtful glance at Ian and entered, glancing around, the entrance was the modest living room, clean and cozy, with small couches, and the things he had bought in one….
Estela seemed to know she was home and her crying, which until then had been a grunt, ceased. Lluvia, who was changing inside, heard her and immediately opened the door and came out, walking straight towards Nilson without looking up, as if treating him for air….
Standing in front of him, Lluvia reached for Estela, and as soon as the little girl was in her mother’s arms, her voice was immediately different, as if she was pouting….
Lluvia hugged Estela tightly, clearly separated for less than an hour, but with a sense of joy at having lost and found, her eyes warmed to Estela and her tone was full of affection.
-Estela, finally, don’t you care about mom anymore.
Estela laughs and laughs, so cute that Lluvia’s just empty heart immediately fills up…..
Nilson looked at them and felt the warmth of the mother-daughter interaction, but when he thought about how she felt about him, he didn’t know how to face her. Halfway through, he turned around and saw his phone on the small table, so he walked over and picked it up, turned it on and realized that it had no screen lock password….
Lluvia saw him with the phone in his hand and was about to say something when he heard the phone in his pocket ring….
Nilson looked at his phone with his name on the screen and his heart pounded….
He thought he didn’t have his number saved….
For a year now, when he himself had called her, his tone was so cold and formulaic that he thought he wouldn’t even bother to save her number….
That’s when Nilson hit the hang up button and turned to look at Lluvia, saying in a calm tone:
-I have my number saved, call me if Estela cries at night.
Then he handed her the phone….
Lluvia held Estela with one hand and reached out to pick it up, without even looking at him.
-Mr. Nilson, Ian, you two please come back.
Nilson frowned again and tried to speak, but he swallowed his words….
Ian is in a bit of a hurry.
-Dr. Rain, it’s clear that you just promised me….
-I didn’t promise you anything. I’m going to feed Estela, so please, both of you, out.
