CHAPTER 54
-Who are you?
-Doc… don’t tell me you don’t remember me. -My driver kindly takes the patient out. He closes the door so we have more privacy. -You see, doc, my mother came here… and apparently… she gave her a discouraging diagnosis.
-Oh, talk about Mrs. Maria, yes, it’s a shame what’s happening to her. -Well, Doc.
-Well, doc. The thing is, a very important man for her, that is, my father,” he smiled, “didn’t accept the diagnosis and took her to central park and there they told us that there is a chance to save her.
-Really?
-Which means… he’s either a charlatan who doesn’t know what he’s doing, although I doubt he does, or he sold out for a few dollars. -He starts to say that he wouldn’t let him denigrate his position as a doctor, and even less for a filthy woman who can’t afford to pay for a few measly pills. -You know, I wish you hadn’t said that about my mother.
-Mother?
-Ah, yes… I forgot to mention it, didn’t I, she is my mother and you just called her a filthy woman. And that I will not tolerate. It’s time to go Rupert
-Yes Mrs. Ainsworth.
-Mrs. Ainsworth? -He repeats nervously, “Please wait. -He stops me before I leave his office, “Mrs. Ainsworth, please… can we talk? I swear I’ll tell you anything you want to hear.
I flash a victorious smile, indeed the title of Mrs. Ainsworth is known far and wide. He looks nervous as he looks at me, he apologizes for what he is about to tell me and that if he did it was because the person who blackmailed him used his son to give my mother that diagnosis so I told him I wanted more details of what happened and who had given him that order.
My anger increased when he told me that a man was talking to two women on his cell phone when he came to see him to make sure he did his part, but I felt there was something else going on so I ordered him to let it go before I lost my patience.
-A woman no more elegant and beautiful than you of course.
-Flattery doesn’t do you any good with me doctor.
-Yes, yes, excuse me. I was telling you that she came to see me…
He said that he had paid him so that my mother would not receive more pills for her depression and he accepted, he wanted that name and he nervously says Melissa leaving me bewildered, still unable to react, I stand up, I took the cell phone to feel it vibrate, it was my mother says she was at my house and that Eros’ ex was there making it explode.
I left the hospital ordering my driver to hurry to get home as fast as possible, that witch was in my house and I was not going to tolerate it. She was capable of going to such low lengths to destroy me, but no one messes with my mother, because she will mess with me.
I had to make sure everything didn’t get out of hand so I made a call to the agent who answered in five seconds.
-Bianca…
-Not now my friend.
I was in a hurry so I demanded to know where the hell that witch was, when I heard she was with my daughter I got even more upset, that witch with my daughter. When I saw her I did not hold back and pushed her away from the stroller causing her to fall into the pool, I tell my friend to take my daughter and she does it without thinking, Eros appears and seeing what is happening almost asks what is going on but seeing that I do not pay attention my mother tells him to stay out of it.
-What the hell do you think you’re doing in my house and with my daughter!
-Are you out of your mind! -I told you I was crazy and you never believed me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I slap him
-Who are you calling crazy? -You thought you could mess with me, didn’t you? Engrave it in your head, Eros is my husband, Isabel is my daughter and his daughter.
-I can’t believe it,” he said mockingly, “Now you think I want to take your family away from you.
-Actually I didn’t say anything but you did. -Bribing a doctor not to give medicine to my mother… What would the others think if they knew your secret?
-You’re crazy, you need a psychiatrist, and urgently.
I look for my cell phone and then the recording so that everyone could listen to it, she is stunned while listening as well as the others and when the recording ends she tries to defend herself by saying that it was a set up, but my driver supports me with the testimony since he was present when the doctor spoke, she supposedly offended by the humiliation she received left, but instead I expected her to act to save her own skin.
-You’ve gone crazy, accusing her of that?
-Don’t you trust your wife? -I ask Eros and he answers yes -Then wait and see. Now. Why did you let that woman get close to Isabel?
-I took a call and your friend said she would take care of her.
-Friend sorry, but she swore to me that they were great friends now and I believed her, that’s why I let her be with her.
-I don’t blame you, with that face, I would fall for her charm and lies too if I didn’t know what kind of a snake she is.
-That woman messed with my mom and she’s going to pay for it.
-Please …. Tell me you won’t do anything…
-Take it easy, I’m not going to do anything, in fact they will do it for me… we just have to wait for her to make her next move.
After I managed to calm down, Lucio asked me for a few minutes to talk to me, he observes me with a strange smile that scares me so I tell him not to scare me with his strange behaviors.
-I’m sorry,… it’s just that it’s amazing to see you are my daughter -a knot forms in me when he calls me daughter -I had a vasectomy to not have children… and it turns out I have one. Well, I wanted to talk to you about my parents… I mean your grandparents, I want you to come with me to see them.
-Grandparents?
