Chapter 96


    I red at Henriques , but he did n’t seem willing to pay any attention to me . Deftly unlocking my cell


    phone , he punched in his number before handing it back to me . “ This is my number . _ When you are


    free after _go home , call me about medical expenses . _ _ _ _ Oh yeah , do  n’t call me before 8:00 a


    m , between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm , or after 10:00 pm at night . “


    I ‘ve never known a man like him


    to be totally arrogant , rich but mean , and has nothing going for him other than his good looks . Not wa


    nting to talk to him any longer , I  took Bianca ‘s hand and walked into the hospital building .


    When I pushed open the door to Joana ‘s infirmary , I immediately saw


    her lying on the bed , looking very warm . Meanwhile , my mother-in-


    he go


    Victory ?


    While I was reflecting on this , my mother-inw caught sight of us . Rising to her


    feet , she greeted me with a bright smile . “ You ‘re here , Linda ! ”


    His attitude was so pleasant that it


    surprised me . Judging by her kindness , Carlos could have told her about . _ _ my pregnancy . Howev


    er , I was a little intrigued . _ She ‘s always been an open – mouthed person , so he doesn’twould he


    be afraid that she would tell Joana everything if he told her the news ? Perplexed , I smiled at her back


    . _ “ Mom , you must have been bored in the hospital , right ? ”


    “ No way . _ I can watch


    television here , so it’s not much different than being at home , ” replied my mother-inw .


    While we were talking , Joana , who was lying on


    the bed , opened her eyes . The moment she saw me , a surprised expression blossomed on her face .


    _ _ _ “ Linda , you ‘re here ! ”


    With that , I walked over


    to the hospital bed and looked at her with concern . “ I’ve been busy these days , so I have n’t had time


    toe visit . How are you , Joan ? ”


    “ I’m much better . It’s


    just that I ‘ve been bothering Mrs. Morals these days , so I feel really bad for making her fuss over me .


    _ _ _ _ Joana looked at my mother – in – w with all the gratitude in the world .


    “ That ‘s true . We gave her work these days , mother ” . Likewise , I thanked my mother – in –


    w with gratitude engraved on


    your face .


    “ No way , so do n’t mention it . Now we are a family since we are living together . There’s no need to st


    and on ceremony with the family , ” my mother-in-w blurted out at once .


    Oh ! Who is a family with you ? That bitch on the bed is family with you ! I inwardly criticized . The fact t


    hat she and Joana were imitating each other was really beyond my expectations . Their conversation s

    eems to have been rehearsed .I inwardly raised my guard . _ Are they trying to corner me again ?  _ _


    Right after a thought like that crossed my mind , my mother – in-


    do n’t you tell her ? _ ”


    “ Mrs. _ Morals ! ” A conflicted expression appeared on Joana ‘s face . _ “ Forget


    it . I ‘d better not say anything .”


    “ Joana , I do n’t want


    to punish you , but Linda is your friend and we never considered you an intruder . Now that you’re in tr


    ouble , you should tell Linda right away . Why are you saving this ? _ ”


    The fact that they ‘re singing the same song makes


    it obvious that they ‘re setting me up , I scoffed inwardly . However , if I do not say anything at


    this time , it will certainly arouse suspicion . “ Disturbed ? Why are you worried , Joana _?”


    Joana let out a sigh , with an expression of pity .


    “ You really are making me lose my temper ! It does n’t matter , if you ca n’t say it , I ‘ll help you say it to


    Linda . My mother inw looked at me . “ Linda , Joana has been worried about her son recently“.


    “ Her son ? _ Is there a problem with the child ? ”


    “ There is no problem with the child . Joana is only worried about the future . Since she is not married t


    o the child ‘s father , the child will be born out of wedlock . She is afraid that the child will not be able to


    have the registration documentscivil when born , and you know how crucial that is . Without these docu


    ments , the child will be an unregistered natural person . In the near future , he will not be able to


    attend school , and in the distant future , he will be affected even on time .to work and if


    marry … ”


    That said , even an idiot would be able to decipher her intention –


    this bitch , Joana Ramos , actually wants to register her illegitimate child with Carlos Morais and me as


    the legal guardians ! _
