When they were alone, Christopher, squeezing Amber’s hand, asked her….
-Did you worry about me? Did you think I might die?” he asked, speaking better and clearer, his voice husky and tender.
-Yes! Yes, I did worry,” she told him honestly, “Even though I was confident you’d get through this. You remember the saying: the bad bug never dies, so you don’t go away,” she added with a broad smile. Making Chrisugh, in spite of everything.
-That’s what you believe about me?” he whispered speaking very low, so that she could get closer to him, “Although I’m the one to me for that belief! -he rified, trying to smile, but it seemed that his face hurt a lot.
-Try to sleep! I’m going to sit here beside you, I’m not going to let you go, so that when you wake up, you’ll have me here and I’ll be the first thing you look at when you open your eyes,” promised Amber, affectionately.
As he fell asleep, due to the effects of the painkillers and analgesics, some visitors came to the room. They were his godparents and his daughters, who heard the news through theworks. Although Thiago gave the order not to receive visitors, his godfather persuaded Dani to authorize them. She did, but only for ten minutes.
The first to enter was her godfather, who was astonished to see Amber sitting on the side of the bed with her fingers intertwined in his.
-Hi, Amber! How are you?” he asked, without taking his eyes off her hand in his. “This looks like an overkill, I don’t think it was a robbery,” he added.
-That’s the opinion of almost everyone. Muggers use weapons, they are not going to beat their victims, besides there were five assants, all masked and they knew who he was,” she answered regretfully.
-Are they already investigating? And what do the cameras show? he asked, doubtfully.
-I couldn’t tell you, because as soon as I saw the news on theworks, I came here and I couldn’t leave to press the investigations, because he needs me here more,” she assured him, warm and sensitive.
-Calm down! I took care of that,” dered the Prosecutor. “However, I can say that Christopher is a lucky man, having a great woman by his side, who cares about him,” he confessed enviously.
-Thank you! -she answered politely, although detecting an air of envy in her words.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
The Procurator said goodbye so that his wife and daughters could enter. Amber knew she had to be tolerant with his daughters, but without letting go of Christopher. When her godmother entered, she greeted her very cordially, and was astonished to see her face.
-God! Who could have done this to my godson? They must pay for it,” she affirmed, diverting her restless gaze to the hand he was holding on Amber.
-So we wait! -Amber cried, feeling entitled to demand punishment for those who beat him.
-I’m going to talk to my husband! Because this can’t stay like this, he is totally disfigured, it’s hard to recognize him,” she said. At that moment, Dani, who came to relieve Amber, entered the room.
However, when she tried to release Amber from his hand, he squeezed her tighter, waking up immediately.
-No, she’s not leaving,” he eximed, “You promised me you’d stay with me,” he whispered in a very muffled voice, looking at Amber and closing his eyes again.
-I’m not leaving, Chris! Please sleep!” begged Amber, speaking in his ear, in a soft whisper.
-Shhhh! Shhhh!” hushed Amber in his ear, to keep him sleeping.
-I’m going to make another round, I’ll be back in an hour, in case you need anything,” warned Dani to Amber, speaking very softly, so as not to interrupt her brother’s sleep. When they left the room, Christopher’s godmother also came out.
In view of what had just happened and how he fell asleep, Dani did not allow the daughters of her brother’s godparents to enter the room. Especially, because she already had very bad references about them, rted to Amber.
-I am very grateful for the visit,” Danimented, “Unfortunately, Chris is in no condition to receive visitors. As he is under the effects of sedatives and painkillers, he wakes up for very few minutes. So we have to take advantage of when he is asleep, since this helps to prevent him from feeling so much pain,” she said.
-ording to what we understand, there is a visitor in there with him, who suddenly disturbs him and she is allowed to be with him,”ined Luz, the youngest of the three daughters of the Attorney.
-Luz, is that you? -asked Dani.
-Yes,” she answered, making her father feel ashamed again.
-The one who is there, is the woman my brother loves and wants me to be with him,” said Dani with kindness and sincerity.
-What does he know what he wants? If he’s in that condition,” added Rocio arrogantly.
-Enough! Enough -grunted the Attorney, without raising his voice too much, so as not to disturb Christopher’s sleep- We’re leaving!
-But, dad! We haven’t seen him,” eximed Angie, demanding.
-I’ve already spoken! -We’re leaving! -he said, dragging his daughters off the floor to the elevator.
Inside, in the room Amber listened to all themotion they made, so she breathed calmly when she heard them leaving. Meanwhile, Christopher wasining and asking her for water. Since she didn’t know what to do, she called Dani, who had given her his cell phone number.
In less than five minutes, Dani arrived and gave him a sip of water and asked him how he was feeling. However, he was apparently moaning in his sleep, because he didn’t answer her or even open his eyes.
Amber spent the rest of the day with him and barelymunicated with his mom via WhatsApp. She warned her mom that if Dn called or came over, to tell him that she had gone on a trip with some friends. In addition, he asked her to please send himfortable clothes with Genesis, because she will stay at the hospital to take care of Christopher.
Later, she contacted her friend, who immediately went with Elian to the apartment to get the bag with everything she needed. Then, they both went to the hospital to deliver the things to Amber, who was amazed at the state they left him in.
-Are you going to stay to take care of Christopher?” asked Genesis astonished…
