Chapter 40
Carlos only returned to the room when it was almost dawn . Sneaking tiptoe to the side of the bed like a
thief , he gently lifted the covers and slipped into bed . _ _ _ After lying down , he fell asleep in a
short time , perhapsby tiredness .
As I listened to his snores , I ground my teeth in resentment , overcome with the desire to get
out of bed and stab this heartless rat to death . Sanity , however , reminded me that I could n’t do that .
_ The best way to dofor a person to suffer is not to hand him over to death , but to keep him alive in
order to suffer . I would be letting him off easy if I stabbed him to death right now .
That night , I could n’t sleep a wink . When I got out of bed in the
morning , I hurried out with Bianca . Probably having expended a lot
of energy last night , Carlos was still asleep when I left . After sending Bianca to school , I went _to
the office . Sitting in the office , I just could n’t concentrate on my work , my mind full of those dirty , obs
cene words I had heard last night . _
Finally getting to noon , I asked Isabel out and told her everything that had happened the night before .
_ _ _ _
“ Joana is so p * ta ! I knew for a long time that she was not a decent person , but
I never thought that she would
be so cruel ! This Carlos Morais is another ! He acts like he loves and cares for you , but really he _is s
hameless and cruel behind it all . _ Those two rat bastards really are a match made in heaven ! Isabel
was furious and gnashed her teeth in fury after hearing about how Carlos and Joana were giving me se
datives . _ In the next instancehowever , she looked at me worriedly . _ “ Linda , is
there a problem with your health ? ”
“ I’m fine at the moment , ” I replied .
“ I ca n’t help but worry , so why do n’t we go to the hospital for a full health check right
away ? ” Isabel was really worried about me .
“ I do n’t think that ‘s necessary . ”
“ Why is it not necessary ? These two rat bastards are very vile . If they gave you sedatives , they may
have given you other drugs as well . As a precaution , it’s better to have a check – up ” –
insisted Isabel .
Anxiety flooded me at his words . In fact , Joana and Carlos are very hideous ! I have to take precautio
ns . “ Shall we go to Delta Hospital for the check – up ? ” – Isabel suggested .
Hospital Delta was an extremely renowned private hospital in Barra . Its medical staff was first rate , as
were its services and facilities . _ Due to its reputation , many people sought treatment there , and prior
consultation with several _ _ _days in advance , although it
was not always certain that someone would be able
to make an appointment . “ Delta Hospital requires prior appointment , so we will have to wait several d
ays “ .
“ You don’t have to worry about making an appointment . Leonardo has a relative who works as
a chief physician at Delta Hospital , so I ‘m going to call him and ask him to pull some strings . As soon
as Isabel said this , she immediately took thephone and called Leonardo ‘s relative , and the other pers
on readily agreed . _
With the help of one of Leonardo ‘s relatives , I went to Delta Hospital for a complete medical check –
up the next morning , accompanied by Isabel . The doctor’s report for a check – Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
up usually took two or three days , but I was a casespecial , as Leonardo ‘s relative pulled strings , so t
he hospital advised me that I could collect my medical report that afternoon . _ _
I took off that afternoon , so after having lunch near the hospital with Isabel , we went straight
back to the hospital to await the medical report . Honestly speaking , I was really scared that something
might be wrong with my health . _ _
