Chapter 132
The moment he finished , Vitoria ran out of the kitchen with two glasses of water in her hands : one for my mother-in-law and the other for Joana .
Without taking her glass of water , my mother-in – law asked with slanted eyes : “ Is lunch ready ? Carlos is a patient . now . You know how to take care of people who are hurt , don’t you ? ”
“ I know . The meals I make are very nutritious . ”
“ That’s not what I’m talking about . Don’t you see the bruises on his face ? You should n’t add ingredients like soy sauce to your food . _
“ I see ,” Victoria replied politely .
After lunch , my in – laws left the house after she whispered something to him , while I decided to go back to my room to take a nap while Joana also went back to her room . As Carlos was injured , he was notto the office and was only able to manage his work over the phone in our office .
While in bed , I could n’t fall asleep . So I took out my phone and started checking my emails , speculating that Joana would definitely find ways to express her concern for Carlos . _
As I expected , after checking my emails , I found Joana asking everyone about the Carlos incident on Facebook . _ _ _ _ The way she expressed her concern moved even me . _ _
However , Carlos ‘ response was as cold as ever . _ _ Joana was always the one who asked many questions while he only answered with a simple word or phrase .
Reading those meaningless comments , I was about to exit the app only to get another notification from Joana . _
“ Was it because of her that Henriques hit you today ? ”
The “ her ” in Joana and Carlos ‘ exchanges referred to me , but it intrigued me because Henriques and I had never met before . _ _ _ _ _ So they should n’t be talking about me . _
At that point , Carlos responded with a simple “ Yes ” .
“ Really ? _ Does that mean that Henriques knew everything at that time ?
I was scared . Everything at that time ?
“ Yes , ” replied Carlos .
“ What are you going to do next ? ”
“ We’ll see . ”
“ Please be careful . _ _ If she discovers the truth , we will all be in trouble .”
Carlos stopped responding after that , Joana too . _ Then she exits the app while thinking deeply . _
From this simple conversation , it was deduced that Carlos and Henriques had a grudge against each other , and that grudge seemed to involve a woman .
At first I suspected that person might be me , but now I was sure it was n’t me . _ But who can it be ?
