The next morning, Adán Rouco awoke to find Estrella Berrocal still awake, sleeping senselessly in his arms.
Adam Rouco couldn’t help but duck his head and kiss her forehead, gently pulling her arm out from behind her and rising from the bed before looking darkly at the sandwich lying on the table to the side.
…
As soon as Adán Rouco came out of the bedroom, he saw Olivia Montes, standing, wandering down the second floor hallway, looking a little dazed.
“Good morning, Adam.”
“Good morning, sister-in-law.”
Olivia Montes unconsciously looked behind him toward the bedroom and asked, “Is Estrella still awake…?”
“She snacked last night and slept through the night, so she’s still awake.”
“Is that so?”
Olivia Montes hadn’t slept much all night, expecting some kind of commotion from this side of the house, and it was past dawn, and nothing had happened.
The person who had given her the abortion pill had told her that it was so strong that even a placenta seven or eight months pregnant and stable would not be saved by taking it.
Estrella Berrocal’s belly is not yet noticeable, at most three months, and she should have a reaction soon after taking this medication.
Could it be that … Estrella Berrocal is not really pregnant?
“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, not much, come down for breakfast.”
…
Adán Rouco was on his way to the office and asked Santino Yepes to take him to the hospital.
He contacted Esteban Zaragosa and delivered a sealed plastic bag to Esteban Zaragosa.
“Help me figure out what suspicious ingredients are in this.”
Esteban Zaragosa picked up the plastic bag with leftover rice and scoffed, “Who poisoned your food? What a nerve.”
Adán Rouco snorted: “I thought I was blind, putting poison in my food in front of me”.
Esteban Zaragosa then remembered Adán Rouco’s eyes: “By the way, does it look like your eyesight has returned?
“Well, he just got back.”
…
Dulcina Calvo checks the room.
Upon reaching bed five, the nurse approaches Dulcina Calvo: “Dr. Dulcina, the woman in bed 11 next to me says her leg still hurts and wants me to come see her.
“Bed 11? Is that Fraco’s patient?”
“Yes, that Fraco Mato.”
Dulcina Calvo flipped through the chart and said, “Isn’t he supposed to have been discharged?”
Dulcina Calvo remembered patient Fraco Mato very well, a slight thigh fracture, nothing serious.
“Yes, he should have been discharged a long time ago, but he didn’t want to go, and we didn’t dare let him go, because he was the nephew of the vice president.”
Dulcina Calvo puffed out her lips, “Okay, I’ll go see.”
When Dulcina Calvo arrived in the next room, she looked at the man in bed 11, with both hands in the pockets of his white robe, his face expressionless, and asked: “Fraco Mato, right, what’s wrong with you?
Fraco Mato laughed: “Dr. Dulcina, what do you mean, what’s wrong with you? Would you like to take a look for me?
Dulcina Calvo frowned, looked at his thigh and said, “That’s impossible, you saw the movie, you only had a slight fracture, you could have been hospitalized, it’s been ten days, how can it still hurt?”
Fraco Mato was particularly enthusiastic, rolling up the leg of his hospital gown and saying, “Why don’t you give me a squeeze? It hurts like hell, I don’t have a broken bone inside, do I?”.
The corners of Dulcina Calvo’s mouth twitched and she sighed, saying in a cold voice, “Don’t worry, if the bones were broken, you wouldn’t be talking to me with so much encouragement right now.”
“Do you squeeze?”
“…”
Dulcina Calvo reluctantly reached out her hand and gave it a squeeze, Fraco Mato, enjoying the “massage” of the little hand, could not help but grab Dulcina Calvo’s hand, startling Dulcina Calvo.
“Hey! What are you doing? Let go of me!”
Fraco Mato grabbed her hand and did not let go, saying excitedly, “Dr. Dulcina, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, I want to see you every day, I’ve been living here for so long just for you!”
“Fraco Mato! Let me go! If you don’t let me go, I’ll scream!”
“Go ahead, my uncle owns the whole hospital, let’s see if anyone dares to enter!”
This bitch, not only is she a slut but she’s also a pervert!
…
Adán Rouco and Esteban Zaragosa were talking when, in the hallway, a nurse came running up to them.
“Dulcina is being disturbed by the patient in bed 11! That man is the vice president’s nephew, we dare not …”
Before the nurse could finish her sentence, Esteban Zaragosa had already spread his long legs and was striding toward the room.
Adán Rouco looked at Esteban Zaragosa’s back as he hurried away and his thin lips curved, so nervous about Dulcina Calvo.
It seemed that the time had come to prepare his share of the money.
…
Esteban Zaragosa rushed into the room and pushed open the door to see Dulcina Calvo kick Fraco Mato in the lower abdomen.
“Oh…!”
Fraco Mato covered his lower abdomen in pain!
Dulcina Calvo snorted, picked up a folder and hit Fraco Mato on the head again: “I told you to take advantage of me! I told you to get horny!”.
Esteban Zaragosa strided over to Dulcina Calvo and clasped her in his arms, “Are you all right?”
Dulcina Calvo was stunned, she didn’t expect Esteban Zaragosa to approach, she looked at him and said: “Yes, this guy tried to eat me! I taught him a lesson”.
Fraco Mato in bed, his face the color of pig’s liver, pointed at Dulcina Calvo and said viciously: “You’ll see, Dulcina Calvo, won’t you, I’ll have my uncle fire you! I’ll have my uncle fire you and send you to jail! How dare you, being a doctor, beat a patient! I don’t think you want to stay in this business.”
Dulcina Calvo realized the seriousness of the situation… she had defended herself, but she had hit a patient, the nephew of the vice-president!
“I … I … am not afraid of you! First of all, you bullied me. I acted in self-defense.”
Fraco Mato scoffed and said: “Hmph! You wait for me! I’ll write my name backwards if I don’t kill you, chiquilla.”
Dulcina Calvo’s heart was pounding with fear.
Esteban Zaragosa shielded the girl in his arms and stepped forward on his long legs, his dark eyes staring coldly at Fraco Mato, “Who did you say you were going to kill?”
Esteban Zaragosa’s aura was so powerful and calm that Fraco Mato unconsciously stepped back, “What do you want?”.
Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes were calm, he frowned slightly, pulled a pair of disposable gloves from the pocket of his lab coat and put them on, and asked Dulcina Calvo behind him, “Which hand did he just touch you with?”
Dulcina Calvo: “…”
What does this man want!
“Hmm?”
Esteban Zaragosa returned her gaze with tenderness, but it was clear that there was not much patience in those eyes.
Dulcina Calvo glared at Fraco Mato in bed. “I remember that … he’s … he’s right-handed.”
“Very good.”
Fraco Mato: “… you, what are you doing! Don’t come any closer! I’m going to yell at someone! Aaah-!!!!”
A snap was heard and Fraco Mato’s right hand snapped.
The corners of Dulcina Calvo’s mouth twitched, her teary eyes widened…
Had Esteban Zaragosa broken, broken Fraco Mato’s right hand?
Fraco Mato’s forehead was sweating with pain and he cursed: “Wait! Aah! I’ll sue the hell out of you! You’ll all go to jail.”
