Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

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 . This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“ 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 m

y 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 , duri

ng 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 , w

hich led me to believe that the handsome man I saw was nothing more than a dream . However , for hi

m _reappear

now …

I was shocked to see him smile at me before leaving and I realized that I should have asked him for co

nfirmation about what happened five years ago , in order to know if it was really true . That encounter ig

nited in me a sudden desireto know if he was that man . However , I received a call from Pâmela askin

g 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 hospit

alization , 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 tra

vel 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

he felt I was watching him , Carlos lifted his head from where he was beside his father to look at me wit

h a kind look that carried some guilt . “ Honey , you must be tired after spending the night here , so allo

w – _send me – her home ” .

Despite humming in response , my heart was cold . _ Had it not been for

the solid evidence presented to me , I would never have doubted Carlos ‘ feelings for me . I was compl

etely blinded by what I said he was an honest man inwho could I trust !

Carlos offered to send me home , which I agreed to as I could n’t afford to refuse . _ _ _ _ _ However , I

sat in the back seat with my eyes closed instead of sitting in the passenger seat . _ _ _ _ CarlosHe eve

n pulled back the window shades because he

just assumed I was exhausted , but I felt nothing for his attention .

On the way home , Joana called me to ask where I was , saying that she missed me . _ _ _ I mentally s

coffed before telling her about my father-in-

law ‘s hospitalization , to which she responded in surprise by saying that she would like tovisit it . _

I hung

up the call after muttering in response , while Carlos asked when realizing that my reaction was differen

t from how I

would have reacted before : “ Honey , are you feeling bad ? ” Hearing an evasive buzz from me , he trie

d to please mesaying he would cook for me later to make it up to me , which I ignored .

After suffering from insomnia two nights in a row , I fell

asleep as soon as I got into bed . I was awakened by the

noise of conversations , after a long sleep , through which I discovered that Joana was present , and I

asked myself why she would dareenter my house . _
