    feigned concern . “ Why the sudden change ? _ ”


    “ That infirmary costs an arm and


    a leg . Do you think money grows on trees ? _ If she did n’t change rooms , we would go bankrupt ” , re


    plied Mrs. _ _ Morales , irritated .


    “ I thought


    we had agreed to let Carlos pay . Didn’t he pay you ? I was faking dementia .


    “ If you like it so much , why do n’t you pay for


    it yourself ? Why ask Carlos ? _ _ It is not easy for him to earn money ” –


    Mrs. Morais looked at me . Obviously , she was trying to get Joana ‘s money , but she could n’t ..


    “ Mom , what are you talking about ? Carlos is my husband , my family . It makes no difference which

    After Mrs. _ _ _ Morais left , Joana cried , but I knew she was faking it . “ It’s all my fault , Linda . I ‘ve b

    Joana was astonished when I told her that Carlos would be notified . Refusing to show her true colors a

    “ But I don’t have any money , and neither do you . If I ca n’t tell Carlos about this , who should I tell ? ”


    “ I have some money here . I was justining , that ‘ s all . Don’t take it seriously . ”


    Now that that bitch has taken a step back , I


    let the money slide , but that was n’t the end of it . After chatting with her for a while , I excused myself ,
