The next morning, Nilson got up early, thinking he’d bring a change of clothes when he came in tonight….
Yes, he had decided to come in every day unless he was going on a business trip….
As she opened the door and walked past the door to the master bedroom, she paused for a few seconds, inside there was no noise, mother and daughter must still be sleeping soundly, she turned around and went into the bathroom.
The new toothbrush and the towel she had retrieved from the locker last time would be with Rain….
Seeing the two toothbrushes resting next to each other, Nilson’s spirits lifted.
After washing up, he went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Last time I just made a simple congee of lean pork and mushrooms, but today I have a lot of ingredients in the fridge, so I’ll make something richer….
When Rain got up, Nilson was gone and the loss he felt was much better than yesterday.
Breakfast was better than yesterday morning, with milk, fried eggs, whole wheat toast, purple potatoes and corn, a good mix….
After breakfast he went out with Estela in his arms, as usual.
Today, no, since yesterday, Estela has a nurse specialized in nursing at her side and she can feel more relaxed to work properly…
The moment she closes the door, Lluvia stops moving and looks at the small basket on the shoe cabinet in the entrance, where the keys are…
She opened the door every day and put the key in the small basket, originally there were two keys in the basket, she removed one and one remained, this time, the basket was empty….
The other key, naturally, was taken by Nilson, who was driving while looking at the key next to him, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.
No need to ask him to open the door at night….
Back in Pesla City, he threw himself into his work with much encouragement and, I don’t know, a few people, returned to Lluvia….
They were the elders of Pesla City dedicated to the continuation of the city’s lordship, the same group that had earlier forced Nilson’s marriage.
Today Lluvia didn’t need to sit in the clinic, she checked into the inpatient unit and sat in her office, so they could easily find her.
At that moment, two women and a man, in their early forties, sat on stools in the infirmary, looked at Lluvia and, after briefly introducing themselves, the woman in the middle got straight to the point:
-Doctor Lluvia, as you know, in Salamonsa we have always valued the lineage of Mr. Nilson’s heirs, and you and Mr. Nilson have no history of previous relationships, and you are not yet married, and yet your daughter is full term….
Rain nodded in understanding and asked directly:
-It’s going to be a DNA test, isn’t it?
The heiress was careless and seeing how quick she was, all three nodded in acknowledgement.
Rain asked:
-They came and asked for DNA, does Nilson know?
The three men looked at each other and the one on the left replied.
-We have not yet communicated with Mr. Nilson, it is our job to do so and we do not need to speak to him specifically….
The woman on the left also immediately added:
-We are not doubting your character, mainly it is too sudden between you and Mr. Nilson?
Rain stood up.
-Okay, I understand. I am willing to cooperate, but with one request.
The three men agreed, though puzzled.
-You said so.
-The identification results are in, and I ask you not to tell him the truth.
All three had question marks on their faces.
-A moment for the three of them, I’m going to take Estela down.
With that Rain came out.
Those three were simply confused, you were looking at me, I was looking at you…..
-What’s wrong with her?
-Seeing how sure of herself she is, I was thinking the baby is definitely Mr. Nilson’s, so why is she suddenly saying she can’t tell Mr. Nilson the results?
-Yes, what the hell does she mean by that?
At that time in Ode Nation, Carlos was also sitting in the hospital, preparing to draw blood for the tests that had been done on the water he had drunk from Salamonsa in those days.
Leonardo was already suffering from mild symptoms of heavy metal poisoning when he received the call in the morning. He was drinking water boiled with tea leaves and, if he had not been prepared for it, he would have thought it was just a cold….
Thiago and his wife were also settled in Ode Nation for the time being, and this time he drew blood from Carlos himself.
-When will the results be available?
Once the blood was drawn, Carlos rolled down his sleeve and asked.
-In the afternoon.
Thiago placed the blood sample in the tray, looked at Carlos and asked:
-What are you going to do if it is determined that there is a problem with the water?
Carlos frowned slightly and voiced his thoughts:
-Develop more advanced water purification technology to completely separate the dangerous elements from the water or, alternatively, stop using Salamonsa water and import drinking water from another country.
After a pause, Carlos continued:
-It is that if there is a real problem with water, it is much more complicated to deal with than that, because water is closely related to people, animals and plants, for example, the use of that water to irrigate vegetables, fruits, plants and animals that drink that water throughout the year, and whether those fruits and vegetables, and birds and animals, are safe or even have mutated….
Carlos’ analysis was so thorough that Thiago nodded approvingly, indicating the point between:
-There is actually a most simple solution to the Salamonsa problem, which is to remove the newborn from Salamonsa and move it before it has been sufficiently exposed to the water, air and plants there.
Carlos’ eyes darkened a couple of shades and he put his hand in his pants pocket.
-Yes, it is a way, but at the cost of the disappearance of a nation.
It is a question he discussed with Nilson, and with Micaela….
Salamonsa is a country with many generations of people there, and if the new life is sent far away, without people, nothing can continue, Salamonsa will inevitably weaken and die, and become history on earth, which no one in Salamonsa with a little blood and feeling would like to see….
Thiago pushed up his glasses and said bluntly:
-As that place is not suitable for survival, you have to emigrate, and when it comes to life, you have to give up some things.
Carlos’ deep eyes shone with a touch of sadness….
Yes, Thiago is right about everything, and if the work is done among the people, I’m sure there will be a large number of people, who will be willing to send their children away, but his Micaela is still there and the problem is not solved, he can’t leave….
Diego strides over and stands next to Carlos.
-Carlos, Javier has arrived.
