Chapter 95


    When Luz’s belly began to grow, Matias told her to be careful with her seat belt. “-Luz, look, the experts


    don’t rmend this, but I’m telling you thinking that you’re going to want to save your baby… if you


    see that you’re going to crash, it’s better that you loosen the belt, so it doesn’t squeeze your belly. – But


    wouldn’t it be safer to stay like this? -In a rollover, just ce your hands so the belt doesn’t squeeze you,


    if it’s just a collision, you better let go.” Luz was given terrible advice, especially since everyone


    rmended precisely the opposite, but the moment she saw the truck approaching, she thought she


    could get out, however, there was a garbage receptacle right in front of the other door and she didn’t


    have it. no choice but to curl up. The impact was on her side, almost in the tail of the car, George broke


    the passenger window to get out, while the curious approached to help the four vehicles involved in the


    collision. The first to arrive were the firefighters, who looked for a way to get Luz out. She was the


    priority, being unconscious and pregnant, everyone else isining, but awake. George is sitting on


    the sidewalk, being tended to for the gash on his forehead from which a lot of blood hade, trying to


    call Gerard. Several kilometers away, Gerard just wanted to get out of there, because something told him


    that he should call his Little Light. So, when the judge says that the hearing is postponed for one more


    week, to hear the sentence, he jumps out of his seat, without even saying anything to his client, and pulls


    out his phone. As soon as he sees George’s calls, he knows that hunch was not in vain, he dials him


    back and listens to all the noise in the background, before the man’s tired voice and all his senses tell


    him to run to the car. – What happened? – A truck… hit the car from the rear, where thedy was


    going… -Tell me that she and my son are fine – when people see her expression they just move so as


    not to get in the way- -She is trapped and unconscious, sir… forgive me -It’s not your fault, it was an


    ident, I just need to know which hospital they’re taking her to. As soon as George asks, Gerard takes


    off like a thousand big bad wolves are after him. He doesn’t know how he got there, but as soon as he


    gets off and runs to information, they tell him that he hasn’t arrived. He texts Dan and stands at the door,


    waiting for the ambnce to arrive, begging them to hurry up. But getting Luz out was not easy,


    especially since the car was between the truck and that receptacle. The firefighter who finishes theContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    cutting works says that it is a miracle that that woman did not end up pierced by one of the twisted irons.


    Only her broken ss produced a few scratches. Pulling her out of it, they realize that she used a small


    pink padded jacket as a cushion for her belly, but they can’t exin why she is unconscious. She is


    rushed to the hospital, as the paramedics realize that she most likely suffered a concussion to the head.


    Gerard sees that an ambnce arrives and realizes that it is her Little Light, he runs to ask for her, but


    they only tell him that he is unconscious. -You’re just asleep, a little nothing more… Four hourster,


    when she is taken to a room, connected to a monitor and whatever else is necessary, the doctor tells


    Gerard that Luz is in a concussion-induceda. Apparently, she was able to protect her son, but in the


    attempt she hit her head, which caused mild brain swelling. -But… will she be saved? -Yes, these types


    of lesions usually show improvement within the first thirty-six hours, and the patient recoverspletely


    between seven and ten days. When the inmmation goes down, we will be able to evaluate


    consequences. -After that, will they take her out of thea? -Yes, it would only be a matter of hours for


    her to wake up-the doctor puts his hand on her shoulder and smiles at her-She will be fine. What he did


    to her, however reckless it seemed, saved her life and her baby. Dan stays with him when the doctor


    leaves and they go in to see her, she seems so fragile, like she does every time she falls asleep. Minutes


    later Matías arrives, Dan leaves to talk to Gerard, hees in uniform and apparently brings news. -


    How is my little ampolletita? him-he tells her approaching her sister with tears in his eyes and caressing


    her face- -Well… within everything. We just have to wait for her brain to dete. Some news? -Many…


    she didn’t end up crushed because the garbage truck hit the one that hit the car where my sister was


    going-she keeps silent, because she doesn’t know whether to tell Gerard now what else she discovered-


    -Speak, I know there’s more. -Gerard, I don’t know if you messed with the wrong person or not, but… this


    ident wasn’t such – Gerard’s tired eyes go to Matías and he frowns -. This was caused by… Gerard.
