CHAPTER 56
I felt really bad, I couldn’t even sleep all night, seeing the corpse of someone who was close to me… and in that way was brutal for me, I couldn’t stand it and I ended up vomiting, I had to leave and wait for Eros in the car, I keep regretting because my selfishness was what saved her to make that decision to leave our house and the worst is that I didn’t ask her to stay instead…. I told her that it would be the best for everyone, that answer haunts me because if I had done the opposite… she would be alive right now.
The funeral was at our house, we thought that many would come and much less her daughter since she did not even have the courage to go to the morgue after we reminded the agent that Claudia was her daughter, she hated her mother so much that she did not even show up to her funeral since as the hours went by… we only saw the employees and some friends that apparently were Mrs. Lupe’s friends.
The burial was quicker by decision of Eros and his brothers, although neither my husband nor his brother shed a single tear, but I could not say the same for Aria, she cried for Mrs. Lupe as if she was her real mother who was being buried. She was really fond of her, not like the disgrace she had for a daughter who did not even come to say goodbye to her or at least to throw the first flower.
-Are you all right?
-She didn’t deserve this, she didn’t deserve it.
-The agent said that the one who did it was someone who knew Mrs. Lupe. -I murmur as I see Eros’ sadness -You’ll see that the one who did this… will pay for it.
It was a terrible afternoon that we lived, Eros’ siblings stayed at our house and the three of them… were in complete silence in the living room, their mother seeing the state of them was saddened.
-Children, please… remove those faces that make the day blacker.
-Madam, doesn’t this affect you? -I said annoyed.
-Of course it does, Lupe was my right hand for many years, she raised my children as I wished, that’s why I contacted an old friend, so that her death would not remain unresolved. Poor Lupe… she must have suffered.
-Mom,” said Eros in annoyance, “Will you be quiet for a moment, please.
-Okay, they want more mourning, then I’ll leave, but as for you dear, please… take my granddaughter to my house, I want to spend more time with her.
She is a very bossy woman, but she is right, I have never taken Isabel to her house and she has hardly lived with her as her grandmother.
Two days passed and there was still no answer about the death of Mrs. Lupe or Melissa, Eros meanwhile I am glad that he has not changed because of what happened, besides, he helped me with his lawyer so we could do something against the doctor who gave a false result of his health to my mother or Melissa.
About Claudia… we did not have any news from her, she did not show up to recognize her mother, neither at the funeral and much less at her burial, she never went to see her and it makes my blood boil to see how unhappy she is, not being present to see her mother was more than clear that she was happy for her death and that she got her wish when she said she was an orphan.
I have kept in communication with the agent and he says no the investigator guarding the doctor’s house has no news about any unusual visits, I asked her if she had visited Claudia, her answer was yes but she said she had no interest in talking about a mother who is already dead
“She really is a hateful woman.”
I started a lawsuit process against the doctor for what he did to my mother and also against Melissa, a person’s health is not a game and she went over the line when she bribed him
-How long do you think it will take for everything to go before a judge?
-Not long. You’ll see, you just have to be patient and wait, I know Melissa, if she had received the tender she would already be here complaining about it.
-I guess you’re right about that.
-Y…. When will we pick up where we left off at the library?
-Hey,” I said with a chuckle, “our daughter is here, so please… at least wait for her to go to sleep.
-Well… I guess I should wait a little longer… but I don’t know how much I can resist.
I tilted a smile because he can really get me excited just by saying that, but there was something that made me uneasy and it was what claudia said, I’m afraid to hear from his mouth that it was true and that if he slept with her, that’s why I didn’t ask him anything about it, I have no idea if he had recovered his memory, I was afraid to ask that question but I think it’s better to get out of any doubt.
-Eros… there is something that makes me uneasy.
-What’s bothering you now?
-It’s about what happened to you?All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
We heard the doorbell ring, we thought it was my mother since she had called me to tell me that after she got out of her chemotherapy, she would come straight to my house to talk about moving here with us, I talked it over with Eros and he said it wouldn’t be bad since he could be calmer knowing that our daughter is with her maternal grandmother.
-Who is Stacy?
-Bianca… they are some gentlemen who want to talk to you. ….
-With me? -It’s strange since I don’t know anyone and Stacy looked pale. -Are you all right?
I get up from my place to see who had arrived, Eros takes Isabel in his arms and accompanies me to the hall, some white haired gentlemen were standing there watching our house and needless to say that their comments are a little flattering, when they turn around, they look at us with a smile.
-Are you Bianca? -She takes me by surprise when she hugs me. “Aren’t you happy to meet your grandmother?
-What?
