Isabel ignored him , so Pamela told my father-
in- law that I was sick . Then Bianca left too , and when she saw me being helped out of the house , sh
e started to cry . _ “ Mom ! Mama , what ‘s wrong with _ _you ? ”
Isabel reached out and took it . _ “ Don’t cry , dear . We’re taking your mother to the hospital right
away .
Seeing my pale face and Bianca ‘s anguished cries , my father-in –
law looked at Pamela . “ Pâmela , go with them , to take care of your sister-in-law . ”
Pamela tried to follow her , but Isabel pushed her . “ You should stay home and take care of your paren
ts . You don’t have to worry about Linda .
I was then led into the car downstairs . _ As the car started toward the hospital , Isabel reached out and
touched my forehead . _ _ _ _ She is burning ! “ Beautiful , can you wait ? ”
“ Yes , ” I stated resolutely .
“ My poor Linda . ” Taking my hand , Isabel sighed without finishing the words when
she saw Bianca who was beside her .
I knew what she meant , so I grabbed her hand back . _ _ ” I ‘m sorry I put you through this ordeal , Isa
bel . “
“ No way . _ You ‘re the one who went through the squeeze . Linda , I
am so distressed for you .” As Isabel spoke , tears streamed down her face .
That earlier scene was a plan that Isabel and I had worked out last night . The real purpose of Joana a
nd Carlos disappearing was to
prevent them from buying me jewelry , but I was n’t interested in jewelry . Instead I just wanted _ _ _tea
ch Carlos ‘ mother a lesson . _ Since I had my revenge on her , I wanted to ask Isabel to come and de
al with the repercussions .
My plan was for her to come early in the
morning and send me to the hospital on the pretext that I was sick , but after hearing the whole story , ‘
Isabel unexpectedly added : “ Beautiful , for a penny , for a real . II
have a way to force Carlos to buy you jewelry too , but you ‘re going to
have to go through the motions .
Compared to the mental torture I was facing , the physical pain was nothing to me , so I asked her abo
ut her plan . _ _ She then made me take a cold shower so I would catch a cold , and she managed to _
_make Carlos shell
out money . It is fortunate that Isabel was thorough , otherwise I would have been exposed when Pam
ela touched my forehead this morning .
When the car arrived at the hospital , I was quickly taken to the emergency room and the doctor immed
iately administered a drip . Meanwhile , Isabel kept watch at the side and was
talking to Bianca . How I did n’t sleep well last night and now _I really had a fever , I dozed
off slightly during the IV drip .
After sleeping for
an indefinite period , he seemed to vaguely hear Carlos and Isabel ‘s voice scolding him . Opening my
eyes , I saw Carlos in the ward , his back to me , while Isabel was facing me , glaring at him fiercely .
“ I heard everything from Bianca . Carlos Morais , how can
you treat Linda like that ? Even if her mom was n’t feeling well , why was she making Linda her punchin
g bag ? _ _ You are another ! You knew very well that there wassuffered such a heartbreak , but ended
up leaving without a care , claiming that something happened at work ! What ‘s more important anyway
, your business or your wife ? _ I ‘m asking , what exactly is Linda to you ?
“ I … I really did n’t expect things to get to this point . Carlos sighed , looking very contrite . _ “ Do you k
now how much Linda suffered over the years after she married you ? _ _ She always led an easy life ,b
eing served hand and foot in the past , but after marrying you , she went through untold difficulties bec
ause of you , but how do you and your family treat her ? _
Isabel continued to
complain . “ Early in the morning , her sister knocked on her bedroom door and screamed incessantly .
_ Meanwhile , her mother did not come out even after I
sent people to take Linda to the hospital . And so
far no one in your familyI will visit it ! Even I find it deeply disappointing to see her treated this way by s
omeone she has treated with / affection for five years , let alone Linda herself ! _ _ “
