Chapter 40


    Carlos only returned to the room when it was almost dawn . Sneaking tiptoe to the side of the bed like a


    thief , he gently lifted the covers and slipped into bed . _ _ _ After lying down , he fell asleep in a


    short time , perhapsby tiredness .


    As I listened to his snores , I ground my teeth in resentment , ovee with the desire to get


    out of bed and stab this heartless rat to death . Sanity , however , reminded me that I could n’t do that .


    _ The best way to dofor a person to suffer is not to hand him over to death , but to keep him alive in


    order to suffer . I would be letting him off easy if I stabbed him to death right now .


    That night , I could n’t sleep a wink . When I got out of bed in the


    morning , I hurried out with Bianca . Probably having expended a lot


    of energyst night , Carlos was still asleep when I left . After sending Bianca to school , I went _to


    the office . Sitting in the office , I just could n’t concentrate on my work , my mind full of those dirty , obs


    cene words I had heardst night .  _


    Finally getting to noon , I  asked Isabel out and told her everything that had happened the night before .


    _ _ _ _


    “ Joana is so p * ta ! I knew for a long time that she was not a decent person , but


    I never thought that she would


    be so cruel ! This Carlos Morais is another ! He acts like he loves and cares for you , but really he _is s


    hameless and cruel behind it all . _ Those two rat bastards really are a match made in heaven ! Isabel


    was furious and gnashed her teeth in fury after hearing about how Carlos and Joana were giving me se


    datives . _ In the next instancehowever , she looked at me worriedly . _ “ Linda , is


    there a problem with your health ? ”


    “ I’m fine at the moment , ” I replied .


    “ I ca n’t help but worry , so why do n’t we go to the hospital for a full health check right


    away ? ” Isabel was really worried about me .


    “ I do n’t think that ‘s necessary . ”


    “ Why is it not necessary ? These two rat bastards are very vile . If they gave you sedatives , they may


    have given you other drugs as well . As a precaution , it’s better to have a check – up ” –


    insisted Isabel .


    Anxiety flooded me at his words . In fact , Joana and Carlos are very hideous ! I have to take precautio


    ns . “ Shall we go to Delta Hospital for the check – up ? ” – Isabel suggested .


    Hospital Delta was an extremely renowned private hospital in Barra . Its medical staff was first rate , as


    were its services and facilities . _ Due to its reputation , many people sought treatment there , and prior


    consultation with several _ _ _days in advance , although it


    was not always certain that someone would be able


    to make an appointment . “ Delta Hospital requires prior appointment , so we  will have to wait several d


    ays “ .


    “ You don’t have to worry about making an appointment . Leonardo has a rtive who works as


    a chief physician at Delta Hospital , so I ‘m going to call him and ask him to pull some strings . As soon


    as Isabel said this , she immediately took thephone and called Leonardo ‘s rtive , and the other pers


    on readily agreed .  _

    With the help of one of Leonardo ‘s rtives , I went to Delta Hospital for aplete medical check –


    up the next morning , apanied by Isabel . The doctor’s report for a check –


    up usually took two or three days , but I was a casespecial , as Leonardo ‘s rtive pulled strings , so t


    he hospital advised me that I could collect my medical report that afternoon . _ _


    I took off that afternoon , so after having lunch near the hospital with Isabel , we went straight


    back to the hospital to await the medical report . Honestly speaking , I was really scared that something


    might be wrong with my health .  _ _
