Chapter 139
“ I have nothing to lose , so I can only take revenge , even if it costs my life . ”
“ what _
are you talking ? Do n’t you have me ? And also your parents . We are all with you . ”
“ Thank you , Isabel . It was definitely a privilege to have a friend like Isabel . ”
“ Linda , I know nothing can stop you once you ‘ve made up your mind to do something , but please do n’t get big . hopes for Henriques . If that plan does n’t work , go find Daniel . If it’s too hard for youask him for help . you can always turn to your parents . Parents always have their good reasons and , for parents , their children also always have good reasons . _ _ I ‘m sure Mr. _ and Mrs. _ _ Morals will forgive her . _
I understood Isabel ‘s good intentions ; however , being the stubborn person that she was , I did not take her advice and insisted on asking Henriques for help .
It ‘s not that I didn’t understand where Isabel was coming from , but that I had run out of options . However , asking Henriques for help was definitely not a safe bet .
After all , Henriques knew about Carlos ‘ affair and had insulted me for it before . As such , when it came to him , I had nothing to lose .
Before looking for Henriques , I investigated him deliberately , and by that I meant that I looked him up on the internet in search of some news or rumour .
What I discovered was just about her favorite food , favorite color , horoscope , as well as any taboos that accompanied the horoscope .
However , information on the internet can always be false , so I decided to reserve my judgment . After that quick search , on the pretext of taking a walk , I sneaked out of the house and went downstairs to call him .
At that point , I remembered what Henriques told me the last time , when he gave me his number , so I intentionally chose a time that might work for him to call .
It was 6:30 pm when I called him , and he answered almost instantly and replied in an unfeeling voice : “ Hello ! ”
I was a little nervous . “ President Ribeiro , it’s me , Linda .”
“ Dona Morais ? Can I help her ? ” He looked like a businessman . _
Already imagining that this would be his attitude , he had already thought of an answer . “ President Ribeiro , how is your injury ? _ I just wanted to talk to you about the medical expenses . ”
“ Oh ? Medical expenses ? ” Henriques repeated what I just said with a dubious attitude . _
“ That’s right . It’s been a while , but I’m trying to find the time to talk to you about it . I ‘ve been kind of busy . ”
“ Busy ? I remember bumping into you at the hospital at least twice . _ _ You didn’t seem to be very busy
then . ”
After being exposed , I started to blush . Since I had nothing to lose , I tried to calm down . “ I was wondering if you have any free time now ? ”
I was extremely nervous when I asked this question . If his answer was no , then all my efforts would be in vain and I would have to find another way to find him . But if your answer was yes , that meant I still had _
hope .
