Chapter 70


    I remembered the first conversation I had with him after the doctor diagnosed me with infertility . _ _ I to


    ld him about it and since he really wanted kids we could get divorced . _ At


    that time , he told me unequivocally that this would nothappen . He said we were still young and with th


    e advancement of medicine we might find a way to cure my infertility .  _ _


    Carlos told me that we could adopt a child even if I could n’t get pregnant . he said


    that our lives should n’t just revolve around children . _ _ For him , a life without children can be happy ,


    but not a life without me . Because he told me that I was everything to him , I fell in


    love with him again and I lovedyour family like mine .  _


    However , your parents were unhappy that I was infertile , especially your mother . _ _ _ _ More than o


    nce she insulted me to my face , but I held back for him . I thought it was worth


    it , but I never expected the same .man who said I was all his would cheat on me and


    get another woman pregnant .


    Isabel said that the ultimate goal of that case was the baby , but I didn’t believe


    her . From what I had observed , Carlos was too worried about Joana for this case to be just about


    the baby . ” If that ‘s the case , he could havestayed with any other woman . Why Joan ? ”


    “ Exactly my point . _ Joana is not as


    beautiful or as talented as you are . And youe from a better family than hers . _ _ More importantly


    , she ‘s your best friend . It would be too risky for Carlos to cheat with her , and heyou


    know that too . She paused . _ _ “ I think Joana may have nned this from the beginning , including h


    er infertility . _ She knows what her marriage is missing more than any other woman .  ” _ _


    That was n’t impossible , but if it were true , it would be a terrible revtion .


    “ Again , I ‘m not justifying his cheating , Linda . _ _ What I’m saying is if he ‘s really just in this for the b


    aby , then this is his chance .


    “ Are you saying ? ”


    “ He thinks you ‘re pregnant , right ? _ So let’s


    go along with it . You can take revenge on Joana and prove that Carlos was the culprit . ”

    “ What is your suggestion ? _ ”


    “ One of the physicians in


    the gynecology and obstetrics department at Pra?a Antiga Hospital , Helena Kátia , is a friend of


    mine from high school . If he wants to take you for a check –


    up , go there . I will ask Helena to prepare a fake reportfor you .


    “ A false report ? ” I was surprised . “ Do you want me to pretend ? ”


    “ Yes . You can see how he reacts then . If you are sure that he is not the culprit , then it will be Joana .


    That bitch got where she is thanks to her son , didn’t she ? You can kick it and drop a bomb on


    it .Charles family . _ It ‘s easier to detonate them . ”


    That sounded like a good n , but I was still worried . “ Wouldn’t it be discovered ? ”
