Chapter 67: She''S Tired


    Chapter 67: She''s Tired


    -Girl, you should know that it''s not good to cry, you have to cry because you feel wronged, do you want


    others to suffer as much as you do when you feel wronged? That''s not what a good girl should do.


    Little Mariana threw the stone on the ground, turned around and saw a kindly old woman.


    It was Zoraida.


    Later, I always used to run here after being wronged.


    Here, Zoraidaforted her and gave her candy; there were other neighbors who gave her food so


    she wouldn''t go hungry; there were other people who gave her extra toys from their children; there


    were even people who brought her old clothes for her....


    I had many memories of the Happy Courtyard.


    The Happy Courtyard was the only light she had in those dark days and it still warmed her heart today.


    She was forever grateful for the people she met here.


    Looking at Zoraida in front of her, Mariana cried a lot.


    After taking a deep breath, Mariana''s emotions calmed down. She stood up and turned around, wiped


    the tears from her face with her hand and looked at Lina with some embarrassment,


    -Lina, if you have things to do at home, you can go, I''ll take care of Zoraida here, don''t worry.


    Lina sighed, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Mariana''s face and said:


    -You''re a girl we''ve watched grow up, so of course I have no worries.


    Looking at Mariana crying in front of her, Lina felt bitter and at the same time relieved.


    -Since Zoraida has you to take care of her, I''m leaving, my husband who can''t walk is still waiting for


    me at home.


    Hearing this, Marina felt very sorry for Lina and said with a smile,


    -I am here.


    Although it was called Patio Feliz, life was not happy for everyone who lived here. But people helped


    each other, and their days were filled withughter.


    Standing in the same ce, looking at Lina''s back and her somewhat white hair in the wind, Mariana


    felt bitter. Turning around, she returned to Zoraida''s side. She covered her with the nket and


    watched her for a while, then went to the kitchen to boil water.


    She took the towel and returned to Zoraida''s bed. Mariana wet the towel and began to wipe Zoraida''s


    cheeks and hands.


    Finally, he helped her wash her hair.


    After Mariana settled things, Zoraida woke up. When she saw Mariana, she was surprised.


    Seeing this familiar appearance, it was like going back to the little girl who was throwing a stone.


    -Mariana?


    Zoraida''s voice was hoarse and full of excitement. Hearing Zoraida''s voice, Mariana cried again,


    -Yes, Zoraida, it''s Mariana, I''m back to see you.


    Her voice was hoarse and her vision blurred, Mariana reached out and took the old hand that Zoraida


    raised shakily to touch her cheek.


    In her memory Zoraida''s hands had always been soft and strong, as if they had infinite energy. They

    held her through many hardships and gave her many happy ones. However, to her surprise, these


    hands had be so skinny.


    -You are a good girl... -Zoraida said weakly.


    -Stop talking, rest well, I''m going to get the doctor.


    Mariana waited for Zoraida to fall asleep again, then went out to find a doctor.


    After an examination, the doctor frowned and said:


    -The old woman is tired and cannot maintain nutrition, after many years, her body is already very weak,


    now let her rest well.


    "Has he be this way just because he has a weak body?"


    The doctor prescribed some medication and left.


    After ncing at Zoraida, who was unconscious on the bed, Mariana went to the side and called Ana.


    -Anita, can you lend me some money? -Mariana found it difficult to say these words, but she had no


    choice.


    She had given all her money to her father and had just spent thest of her savings on buying


    medicine, now she could only borrow money from Ana.


    -Mari, have you encountered any problems? I still have money, I will transfer it to you right away.


    After saying this, she hung up the phone. When she saw the information about the arrival of the money


    from the bank, Mariana was in aplicated mood.


    In the following days, Mariana was taking care of Zoraida in the Patio Feliz. One day she returned to


    Leopoldo''s vi and took some clothes with her. Under her care, although Zoraida was still very weak,


    her body slowly began to improve.


    Mariana stood up and suddenly felt dizzy. She hurried to hold the chair next to her standing in the same


    ce for a long time. She sat on the chair and rubbed her forehead with her hand, she felt pain all over


    her body and her temples were throbbing.


    At that moment the phone rang, Mariana took a deep breath and saw that it was Ana''s call.


    -What is it? -asked Mariana.


    -Mari, did you leave the set without talking to the director?


    Mariana was shocked to realize that she had not said anything to the director when she left the set.


    -Mari, you know that employees are not allowed to leave the set in private during working hours, and


    you didn''t even give anything to the director. You will have to pay for the breach of contract," Ana said


    with concern.


    However, Anita looked again at Zoraida who was sleeping weakly on the bed and said:


    -Anita, I can''t go back to the set right now.
