Chapter 64
Upon entering , I noticed a faint print on the carpet inside . It looked like something that was left after someone tripped and fell . Surprised , I closed the door and bent down to play . It looked greasy . Who spilled oil on the rug ?
When I tried to understand , I heard Victoria ‘s voice outside . I opened the door and saw her talking to Carlos in the kitchen . “ You ‘re back , Victoria . ” I went to her . “ I thought we asked you to take care of Joana at the hospital “ .
“ Mrs. _ Morais asked me to come home and cook for Mrs. _ _ _ _ branches . She said that Mrs. _ _ Ramos might not be used to hospital food , as it does n’t taste good , ” she replied . _
It even looks like it . Mrs. _ _ Morais probably tried to chase her away , although I did n’t say that out loud . ” Honey , let Victoria cook since she ‘s back ” . _
Carlos agreed and left the kitchen to Vitória . Since he was n’t cooking , Bianca wanted him to play with her .
Carlos promptly played with her . He looked genuine and it didn’t look like he was just faking it . I could n’t believe it . He might be nice to an adopted child , but not me . More than once I asked myself : why did he give methe pills ? Just because he loved Joana ? I thought I was a much better woman than Joana , so the way he treated me was disconcerting . _ _ _ Is love really blind ? _
No , that was not right . Joana was the one who introduced us and put us in touch . If he loved her , there was no reason for him to marry me . He had enough time to marry her before we met . _ _ _ Onefrightening thought occurred to me . Could they have been dating before we met ? _ _ Could he marry me by conspiracy ? _ _ _
That was a plausible theory , as Carlos was so astute . A shiver ran down my spine , but I could n’t flinch . Information was critical , so I had to ask Isabel to hire a private investigator to look into the background of theCarlos and Joana . _ This question of mine had to be answered .
When dinner was ready , Carlos ate only a few bites before rushing to the hospital with some food . _ ready for Joan .
I got up , my mood ruined , and went for a walk with Bianca as usual before heading back . She went to the bedroom to paint while I went to take a shower. When I walked in I noticed that the carpet marks were gone . the victory musthave cleaned . When I touched it , the greasy feeling was gone .
Suddenly , an idea occurred to me . “ Victory .” I went to her . “ How did Joana fall ? ”
“ I don’t know either . Victoria stopped what she was doing . _ “ I was doing laundry when she screamed . When he got out , she was already lying outside his door . _ _ She could n’t stop screaming so I called a _ambulance on time ” .
