Chapter 130


    “ Carlos , Joana told me that tomorrow she would be discharged from the hospital . She was


    going to tell him that I would bring her home , but today we left in such a hurry that I forgot to tell her . ”


    * Did she look for you ? ” Carlos was stunned . “ When was that ? ”


    “ Last night ; _ not long after you left . _ It


    seemed like something was bothering her , and she even mentioned that she wanted to move out . It


    took me a while to convince her to stay .


    Meanwhile , Carlos began to look worried . _ I could tell he had found out what Joana was doing . _ “ S


    he can move out if she wants to . Why did you convince her to stay ? ”


    “ Carlos , what ‘s going on ? ”


    “ No big deal . I just think that Joana has been a pain


    in the asstely , and she will annoy you from time to time . You are a pregnantdy now , so why shoul


    d she burden you with her problems ? _ _ ”


    From the sound of it , it sounded like Carlos was worried about


    me , but I could almost tell how unhappy he must be in his heart .


    Instead of staying away from us ,


    I did n’t expect Joana to y that card and expected me to protect her . I could imagine how annoyed


    Carlos must be with her .


    At that point , I intentionally threw the question back at him . “ Is this a good idea ?”


    “ Of course . As a


    friend , you’ve already helped her to the best of your ability . If she mentions to you again that she


    wants to move out , you should let her do it .”


    “ But I still want to share some thoughts about my pregnancy with her . ”


    “ Did you tell her you were pregnant ? ” Carlos almost jumped in fright .


    “ No. _ I remember what you said to me . _ I wo n’t say a word until I’m three months pregnant . ”


    Carlos exhaled in relief as I felt speechless . _ _ “ Carlos , are you going to


    bring her home from the hospital tomorrow ? ”


    “ Ask her to call a cab with Mom . _ _ ”

    “ Of course . I ‘ll call her then . ”


    When I was going to call Joana , I heard my mother-in-w ‘s voice . “ Where is Charles ?”


    It must have been my father-


    in-w who contacted her after seeing all the bruises on Carlos ‘ face . She must havee home to s


    ee her son .  _


    By


    the time Carlos and I got up and opened the door to our office , we saw the nervous look on her face as


    she grabbed my father -in-


    Being as ignorant as she was , he could only shake his head . “ Carlos refuses to say anything . _ _ ”


    “ Mom , are you home ? _ ”


    Upon learning it was me , my mother-in-


    saw the bruises on Carlos ‘ face . “ Carlos , who hit you ? Why did that son of a bitch hit you ? Huh ? ”


    While she was anxiously firing off all the questions to Carlos , someone else came through the door – it


    was Joana , who shouted at the  door.


    see Carlos ‘s face .  _


    It was obvious that Joana felt extremely bad for Carlos . When I saw Joana , my heart sighed . “ Joana


    , are you at home too ? ”


    “ Yes , I


    am . I immediately returned with Mrs. _ Morais the moment we learned that Carlos had been beaten . _


    What actually happened ? _ _ ” Joana came through the door behind my mother-


    in-w . Although they returned together , Joana did notI


    couldn’t walk so fast because of the pregnancy .


    “ So what really happened ? _ _ Your father only told me that you were beaten , but


    he did n’t say why ” , continued my


    mother-inw


    “ Are you really asking me that ? Carlos looked at my mother-in-


    onfused .
