Chapter 90


    I knew this was the n he and she came up with so he could get away without my suspecting it . Now


    that I think about it , he managed to


    lie to me because someone else helped him . Thanks to that , I trusted Carlos unconditionally. I wonder


    ed who the person was , but this was not the time for answers . _ Since the lying had started , I better p


    “ Something hase up in thepany . I told them how to handle it , but they managed to


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    screw it up ! This is a big deal ! This could cost us a big client ! ”


    “ Really ? _ This is serious . You should check it out . ” I made a worried expression .


    “ Yes , but I might be homete tonight , so do n’t wait for me , honey .  ”


    “ Okay , honey . Get well . ”


    not  yet


    When he walked out the door , I looked at the time . It had


    been four hours since he ‘d taken the pills , so why was it working ? Was


    it too little ? I was about to go out and have a look when the door opened . Carlos came


    in likethe wind , the hand on the stomach , the face contorted with pain . Ah , talk of


    the devil . “ What happened , dear ? _ ”


    “ My stomach is


    hurting .” He told me this before hurriedly mming the bathroom door . _ _ When he didn’te


    out ten minutester , I went to the bathroom door . “ Are you okay , honey ? ” I asked .


    “ It ‘s nothing . I’m having a case of diarrhea . He then left the bathroom .


    He was n’t lying this time , and I was sure of it , but


    he still looked curious . “ What happened ? _ The same thing happened this morning . Is


    it food poisoning ? Before he could respond , I added , ” But I had the samething you , so why am I not


    showing any symptoms ? _ ”


    “ It’s probably the cold . If it’s serious , he should go to the doctor ,” Victoria replied .


    “ I ‘ll go with you , darling . ”


    Unaware that he had taken somexatives , Carlos thought he would


    be fine in no time . He wouldn’t let me get in the way of his case , so he


    declined . “ Okay . _ It’s just the cold , so I ‘ll heal right away .


    My father-inw then came out of his room . “ What happened ? _ ”


    I told him about Carlos going to church with me earlier , and I told him how Carlos ‘ stomach reacted aft


    er we left the church .  _ _


    Being a superstitious person , my father- in –


    w ‘s expression changed after hearing what I said . He knew about his son ‘s affair behind my back ,


    so he thought Carlos had offended a holy spirit . _ Weighed down by this realization , hequickly went to


    pray in his room .


    I almostughed when I heard your prayers .


    When Carlos left , I told him I would take him to the doctor , but his father objected and took him to his


    room .
