Chapter 64


    Upon entering , I noticed a faint print on the carpet inside . It looked


    like something that was left after someone tripped and fell . Surprised , I


    closed the door and bent down to y . It looked greasy . Who spilled oil on the rug ?


    When I tried to understand , I heard Victoria ‘s voice outside . I opened the door and saw


    her talking to Carlos in the kitchen . “ You ‘re back , Victoria . ” I went to her . “ I


    thought we asked you to take care of Joana at the hospital “ .


    “ Mrs. _ Morais asked me toe home and cook for Mrs. _ _ _ _ branches . She said that Mrs. _ _ R


    amos might not be used to hospital food , as it does n’t taste good , ”  she replied . _


    It even looks like it . Mrs. _ _ Morais probably tried


    to chase her away , although I did n’t say that out loud . ” Honey , let Victoria cook since she ‘s back ” .


    _


    Carlos agreed and left the kitchen to Vitória . Since he was n’t cooking , Bianca wanted him to y with


    her .


    Carlos promptly yed with her . He looked genuine and it didn’t look like he was just faking


    it . I could n’t believe


    it . He might be nice to an adopted child , but not me . More than once I asked myself : why did he give


    methe pills ? Just because he


    loved Joana ? I thought I was a much better woman than Joana , so the way he treated me was discon


    certing . _ _ _ Is love really blind ?  _


    No , that was not right . Joana was the one who introduced us and put us in touch . If he loved her , the


    re


    was no reason for him to marry me . He had enough time to marry her before we met . _ _ _ Onefrighte


    ning thought urred to


    me . Could they have been dating before we met ? _ _ Could he marry me by conspiracy ?  _ _ _


    That was a usible theory , as Carlos was so astute . A shiver ran


    down my spine , but I could n’t flinch . Information was critical , so I had to ask Isabel to hire a private in


    vestigator to look into the background of theCarlos and Joana . _ This question of


    mine had to be answered .


    When dinner was ready , Carlos ate only a few bites before rushing to the hospital with some food . _ r


    eady for Joan .


    I got up , my mood ruined , and went for a walk with Bianca as usual before heading back . She went to


    the bedroom to paint while I went to take a shower. When I walked in I


    noticed that the carpet marks were gone . the victory musthave cleaned . When I touched


    it , the greasy feeling was gone .


    Suddenly , an idea urred to me . “ Victory .” I went to her . “ How did Joana fall ? ”


    “ I don’t know either . Victoria stopped what she was doing . _ “ I was doingundry when she screame


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    d . When he got out , she was already lying outside his door . _ _ She could n’t stop screaming so I call


    ed a _ambnce on time ” .


    Despite her denial and smooth boration , I saw right through her little lie . “ Why did she leave my ro


    om anyway ? _ ” I sighed .


    “ Yeah , I thought it was


    weird too ”, Victoria replied . “ Beautiful ” She hesitated for a moment . “ I kept it a secret from you, but I


    saw her go into her room a few days ago . She looked really suspicious .”
