Chapter 96
.The first twenty-four hours were terrible for Gerard, because everything depended on Luz stabilizing and
beginning to recover. The next twenty-four… a real torture. Luz showed signs of improvement, the
swelling had gone down, she was already on the third day, but she didn’t want to wake up. -Mr. Finnick,
this usually happens, sometimes people don’t react immediately and it’s hard for them to wake up – says
the doctor, trying to cheer him up -. (This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)What if he
never does? – He asks him anxiously. -He will, just be patient. But that was what he didn’t have. Three
days having his wife lying in bed, without speaking, without seeing her little eyes, was a sinister torture.
Matías went to see her every day, Luz’s parents stayed with her in the afternoons, long enough for him to
be with Charlize, bathe her and return to the hospital to take care of her. Matías’s suspicion was rooted
in a single fact that didn’t make sense to anyone: the brakes were deliberately cut, and that single act
revealed the intention of a dark mind that wanted to harm Gerard. Because it was impossible for Luz to
be the real target, she had a low profile and it would be impossible to want to harm a pregnant girl. Most
likely, they mistook the car and thought he was on board. And that thought was killing Gerard with guilt
and pain. “Brother, I brought you coffee,” Dan tells him, extending a cup of steaming ck coffee. “Thank
you,” they both stare at Luz’s face,(This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar) as if she was
going to wake up from it to scold Gerard for putting that thing near her. I feel so miserable…I have only
brought pain into her life. -Don’t think like that, she loves you… when I went to look for her, I made her
see that she never took off her engagement ring and she didn’t tell me anything. That woman over there
is strong, just give her time. -Understand me, she should now be trying on her wedding dress, along with
her mother. She should be happy that the DA will let me talk to Rickon. We should be in our bed, next to
Charlize, enjoying a movie with a cup of hot chocte, while the rain falls outside.(This novel will be daily

I’m not. That doesn’t mean I don’t do all those things when I get out of here. What if she doesn’te
out? – A sob escapes from Gerard’s chest and he can’t take it anymore, Dan must take the cup of coffee
before he spills it. I’m scared, Dan… me without her… – Enough – says his friend, leaves the cups aside
and takes him by the shoulders – What did the doctor say? -That he wille out… but he must have
woken up. -Let her rest. -But theter, the more serious the consequences may be, that’s another risk…
I’ll never forgive myself. “Just think that she will do it.” Dan looks at Luz and Gerard does the same. I’m
sure with love that woman has you, she is fighting with the darkness to see you again. And thatment
from Dan makes Gerard remember Luz’s words when they said goodbye that morning. “Even in the
darkest darkness of my life, I would never stop thinking about you.” He takes Luz’s hand, kisses it and
smiles. -I know you’re thinking of me now…-he tells her with a voice drowned in tears-, so just follow my
voice, I’m waiting for you. A couple of tears fall on Luz’s hand and she tries to wake up, she really does,
but something stops her. (This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)Something tells her that
she should stay like this a little longer, because something else must happen. Although she has no idea
what that could be, she pays attention to that force, because that something insists that it is important,
urgent, necessary. The image of Gerard crying and destees to mind. His parents with a haggard
face, Matías desperate to find the culprit. “Wait for me, Gerard, just a little longer and I swear no one is
going to separate us again.” What none of them know, but I do, is that it is absolutely necessary for them
to live more peacefully for a while.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
