Chapter 130
“ Carlos , Joana told me that tomorrow she would be discharged from the hospital . She was going to tell him that I would bring her home , but today we left in such a hurry that I forgot to tell her . ”
* Did she look for you ? ” Carlos was stunned . “ When was that ? ”
“ Last night ; _ not long after you left . _ It seemed like something was bothering her , and she even mentioned that she wanted to move out . It took me a while to convince her to stay .
Meanwhile , Carlos began to look worried . _ I could tell he had found out what Joana was doing . _ “ She can move out if she wants to . Why did you convince her to stay ? ”
“ Carlos , what ‘s going on ? ”
“ No big deal . I just think that Joana has been a pain in the ass lately , and she will annoy you from time to time . You are a pregnant lady now , so why should she burden you with her problems ? _ _ ”
From the sound of it , it sounded like Carlos was worried about me , but I could almost tell how unhappy he must be in his heart .
Instead of staying away from us , I did n’t expect Joana to play that card and expected me to protect her . I could imagine how annoyed Carlos must be with her .
At that point , I intentionally threw the question back at him . “ Is this a good idea ?”
“ Of course . As a friend , you’ve already helped her to the best of your ability . If she mentions to you again that she wants to move out , you should let her do it .”
“ But I still want to share some thoughts about my pregnancy with her . ”
“ Did you tell her you were pregnant ? ” Carlos almost jumped in fright .
“ No. _ I remember what you said to me . _ I wo n’t say a word until I’m three months pregnant . ”
Carlos exhaled in relief as I felt speechless . _ _ “ Carlos , are you going to bring her home from the hospital tomorrow ? ”
“ Ask her to call a cab with Mom . _ _ ”
“ Of course . I ‘ll call her then . ”
When I was going to call Joana , I heard my mother-in- law ‘s voice . “ Where is Charles ?”
It must have been my father-in- law who contacted her after seeing all the bruises on Carlos ‘ face . She must have come home to see her son . _
By the time Carlos and I got up and opened the door to our office , we saw the nervous look on her face as she grabbed my father -in-law ‘s arm and asked , “ Why did n’t you ask him right ? Who hit him ? Perdid that person beat you ?
Being as ignorant as she was , he could only shake his head . “ Carlos refuses to say anything . _ _ ”
“ Mom , are you home ? _ ”
Upon learning it was me , my mother-in-law turned around and let out an expression of regret when she saw the bruises on Carlos ‘ face . “ Carlos , who hit you ? Why did that son of a bitch hit you ? Huh ? ”
While she was anxiously firing off all the questions to Carlos , someone else came through the door – it was Joana , who shouted at the door.
see Carlos ‘s face . _
