Chapter 4
My anxiety increased when I heard Pamela ‘s panicked voice , as my father-in-law has always had a weak heart , but it was under control recently , so I wondered why he would have a sudden attack . “ Call the ambulance , quickly ! ”
“ I already did that , Linda . I can’t talk to my brother , so can you come ?”
“ First , go to the hospital . I will be on my way .”
“ What ‘s up ? Isabel looked at me with concern in her eyes .
“ My father-in-law had a heart attack , so I have to go to the hospital . ”
As I left with a bag in my hand , Isabel came up behind me . “ Why do you care what happens to his family after everything Carlos did to you ? _ _ _ _ _ ”
Remembering what he did , I slowed down as my heart felt like it was being squeezed . “ At the end of the day , it ‘s the life of another human being . I’m leaving Bianca in his care , so see you later . ” My words leftIsabel stomping her foot angrily behind me . _ _
My father-in-law was still undergoing surgery when I arrived at the hospital , while my mother-in-law and sister – in – law waited anxiously outside . My arrival seemed to support them . _ _
“ Beautiful , you ‘re finally here ! ” Perhaps due to her recent shock , my mother-in-law held my hands . “ I was so scared of what happened ! _ It is a blessing that you are here now ! Carlos is also guilty ! why he _Are you always on business trips ? ”
“ He ‘s just too busy . ” The answer I gave was short , as I didn’t want to waste time thinking about it . A nurse came out of the emergency room as we waited outside . _ I thought it brought news about my father-in- law , soI approached her along with my mother-in-law , but I realized that she was asking for payment for my father-in-law ‘s treatment .
The two turned to me as soon as she said that , with my mother – in-law saying she didn’t have her bank cards , and my sister – in-law saying she did n’t have cash with her , making it clear to me that I should pay ..
That ‘s how I shook my head as I stifled my anger before turning to leave for the checkout counter , during which I bumped into someone in my haste . _ _ _ He reacted in time to catch me , which prevented me from falling ..
“ Sorry! ” I quickly apologized . _
“ Okay . _ ” The voice sounded familiar to me . When I lifted my head to check the person , I found that it belonged to a handsome man . At that moment , I was stunned , as it was the face of the man from five years ago !
Five years ago , I organized a birthday party at my father ‘s hotel , during which all the guests toasted me for being the birthday girl . _ I ended up having to leave the salon to reduce the alcohol in me a little , as there wasdrunk a lot , where I met an extremely handsome man in the hallway .
Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol , I could n’t help but follow him and ask for his phone number , going so far as to compliment his appearance , in addition to making clumsy attempts to kiss him .
The next day , I woke up and found Carlos , who hugged me while he accurately recounted the events of the previous day , which led me to believe that the handsome man I saw was nothing more than a dream . However , for him _reappear
now …
I was shocked to see him smile at me before leaving and I realized that I should have asked him for confirmation about what happened five years ago , in order to know if it was really true . That encounter ignited in me a sudden desireto know if he was that man . However , I received a call from Pâmela asking me to bring the receipt back , which I did as I recalled my father – in – law ‘s situation .
The doctor only started administering first aid as soon as I paid , after which we waited half an hour before my father-in- law came out . After that , we were told he was safe for the time being , but still needed to be placed under observation , ashe was not quite out of the woods yet . Upon hearing this , my mother-in-law and sister -in-law began to cry , so I could n’t leave , but I had to stay with them in the hospital .
That night , my mother-in-law and sister-in-law could barely stay awake , so I was told to watch over my father-in-law as they noticed I was n’t tired before falling asleep in bed next to him . The next morning , my father-in-law was awake while the phone callde Carlos was finally answered . I suppressed my emotions as I informed him of his father ‘s hospitalization , as well as the fact that his father was out of danger , so he should concentrate on his so – called work .
However , he did n’t seem to notice the sarcasm in my tone as he rushed to the hospital that afternoon . _ There was a gap of four hours between his arrival and my call , which corresponded to the time needed to travel by car fromRio de Janeiro . It was obvious to me that he also took this into account in his act of Him.
I stayed by his side , clenching my fists at the thought of the facade he was putting on when he asked about my father-in-law . Perhaps
