Chapter 70
I remembered the first conversation I had with him after the doctor diagnosed me with infertility . _ _ I told him about it and since he really wanted kids we could get divorced . _ At that time , he told me unequivocally that this would nothappen . He said we were still young and with the advancement of medicine we might find a way to cure my infertility . _ _
Carlos told me that we could adopt a child even if I could n’t get pregnant . he said
that our lives should n’t just revolve around children . _ _ For him , a life without children can be happy , but not a life without me . Because he told me that I was everything to him , I fell in love with him again and I lovedyour family like mine . _
However , your parents were unhappy that I was infertile , especially your mother . _ _ _ _ More than once she insulted me to my face , but I held back for him . I thought it was worth it , but I never expected the same .man who said I was all his would cheat on me and get another woman pregnant .
Isabel said that the ultimate goal of that case was the baby , but I didn’t believe her . From what I had observed , Carlos was too worried about Joana for this case to be just about the baby . ” If that ‘s the case , he could havestayed with any other woman . Why Joan ? ”
“ Exactly my point . _ Joana is not as beautiful or as talented as you are . And you come from a better family than hers . _ _ More importantly , she ‘s your best friend . It would be too risky for Carlos to cheat with her , and heyou know that too . She paused . _ _ “ I think Joana may have planned this from the beginning , including her infertility . _ She knows what her marriage is missing more than any other woman . ” _ _
That was n’t impossible , but if it were true , it would be a terrible revelation .
“ Again , I ‘m not justifying his cheating , Linda . _ _ What I’m saying is if he ‘s really just in this for the baby , then this is his chance .
“ Are you saying ? ”
“ He thinks you ‘re pregnant , right ? _ So let’s go along with it . You can take revenge on Joana and prove that Carlos was the culprit . ”
“ What is your suggestion ? _ ”
“ One of the physicians in the gynecology and obstetrics department at Praça Antiga Hospital , Helena Kátia , is a friend of mine from high school . If he wants to take you for a check – up , go there . I will ask Helena to prepare a fake reportfor you .
