"Barradas returned to the waiting room where Abril and Guillermo were. His expression showed concern for my mother's state of health.Guillermo approached quickly and asked:—How is Mrs. Amanda?- Not well. They are trying to detoxify it. According to the studies they did, they discovered that in addition to the liquor he drank, he also consumed another substance that worsened his situation. Furthermore, the doctor says that he seems to not want to live, which is not conducive to his recovery. Unfortunately, he has fallen into a coma.— I'm very sorry for this, Barradas. I know how much you love her.Hearing Guillermo, April looked up and approached him saying:—And why do you have to love my mother? I remind him that he was just an employee of my father. Do not take on powers that do not concern you. Don't be so equal.— Look, April, with all due respect, you don't have to offend me like this. Plus, there are a lot of things you don't know, so it's best not to say something you might
Suddenly, my daughter's crying echoed through the room. To me, it was like a melody, the most beautiful I had ever heard. Luis José, with trembling hands, cut the umbilical cord. The doctor smiled and handed the baby to me."Congratulations!" he exclaimed. —You are the mother of a beautiful girl. She is healthy and beautiful. Well, I congratulate you both.Luis José held our daughter in his arms, his eyes were full of emotion. He kissed her on the forehead and gently laid her on my chest."My love," he whispered, "she is our daughter, the fruit of our love." Look how pretty she is, she looks like you. Ana Paula… I love you. I love them both. From now on, I will not leave his side.At that moment, a wave of feelings washed over me. Seeing that little being, part of me and the love that still existed between Luis José and me, was something magical.I realized that I had not forgotten him, that I was still in love like the first day, I had only run away all that time, trying to escape fr
They had already moved me to the room with my little daughter, despite the physical discomfort resulting from the cesarean section, I felt great emotion, to the point that for a moment I had completely forgotten that Guillermo was going to meet the mother at any moment. small.While I settled in the room and breastfed my little princess, Luis José was next to me, he couldn't believe it that we were now parents, it was a really beautiful moment, it was just the three of us like a true happy family.— Ana Paula, honey, I want to thank you for having given me the joy of being a father, thank you for this beautiful and healthy daughter that we have and that I swear that I will be as impossible as possible so that she grows up in a home where love and happiness reign. peace.— Luis José, I... the truth is that deep down in my being, that is what I want most, but you know perfectly well that now things have changed between us, I am a married woman and you... you are still married to my sist
Guillermo's words echoed in my head like thunder in the night. It was as if a sharp spear had pierced my heart, splitting it in two. An intense cold took over my body, and my legs trembled uncontrollably. I looked at him, with anguish reflected in my eyes:- What have you said? It's not funny that you say something like that to me right now. I should be celebrating the birth of my daughter.Guillermo looked down, trying to avoid mine. His voice barely felt like a whisper:—Ana Paula, I didn't want you to find out this way, but it's true. Your mother passed away a few hours ago.- No! That can not be. My mother can't be dead. Tell me it's a lie, please.— I'm sorry, but it's real. He died of cardiac arrest while you were having a cesarean section.A searing pain gripped my chest. The world went black, and I passed out, losing consciousness.Guillermo screamed for help. The nurse and the doctor who had performed the cesarean section came quickly.—What happened to the patient? It was fi
Luis José was visibly affected, and the anguish in his eyes was imminent:—Tell me, doctor, what's happening with Ana Paula?— Luis José, Ana Paula's condition is quite delicate, she has had a heart attack. But after that his condition worsened and I am sorry to tell you that he has suffered a stroke and is in a coma.— It can't be, not her, my God! She does not.The news had a very big impact on Luis José. In a matter of seconds, any plans we had to raise our daughter together had completely vanished. Immediately, the first thing that came to mind was the little baby. Finding myself in that serious state, someone had to take care of Ana Beatriz, the name he chose for our daughter.- And the baby? Where is my daughter?—Your daughter was taken to neonatal care. However, if the mother does not come out of the coma, the baby will be discharged and you will have to take responsibility, since you are her father.Luis José put his hands on his head. I was too desperate with what was happen
Two years later…I was in a coma for five long months. My mind seemed to have put me in a limbo, trying to protect myself from the pain after learning of my mother's death. But one day, I woke up. I was in a hospital room, specifically in one of the most prestigious hospitals in Houston. When I opened my eyes, I was faced with a huge window with intense light. For a moment, I thought I was dead and that that light came from beyond. However, she was still alive. I heard the voice of a man telling me:— Ana Paula, honey, welcome to life.I looked at him without recognizing him. She called me by the name Ana Paula, but I didn't know if it was really my name. He didn't remember absolutely anything. Who was he? Because I was there? And why did he call me that?Guillermo seemed amazed. He couldn't believe he didn't recognize him. She was dazed, as if she had been reborn, but this time without the memories of the past.— It's me, darling. William, your husband.- My husband? No, that can't b
Meanwhile, in bustling Mexico City…The lives of Luis José and Abril had continued their course since my daughter was born. He remained with her out of pity and gratitude, since April had become the caregiver of our daughter, the little princess Ana Beatriz, who had already turned two years old.Ana Beatriz was a beautiful girl, with a striking resemblance to me, which bothered April deeply.Every time she saw the girl, she remembered Luis José's infidelity, a wound that had never fully healed. However, her obsession with him led her to do anything to keep him by her side.April was in charge of taking care of the little girl, but she only did it to keep Luis José attached to her. He, seeing her so maternal with Ana Beatriz, felt a gratitude that forced him to move forward with his marriage. Although he fulfilled his intimate duties, he couldn't stop thinking about me during those moments. In his mind, it was with me that he shared the passion, not with April.In the dining room, Apri
April was shocked, unable to believe what Rubén was revealing to her. Two years had passed since that fateful day when our mother had died, and April had kept her secret hidden. The murder had seemed so easy at the time, with no suspicions or clues pointing to her as the culprit. It was enough for him to enter intensive care and disconnect the artificial respiration equipment, for my mother to suffer cardiac arrest that cost her her life.Although at that time the doctor had prohibited visits to my mother in view of her seriousness, Abril had managed to enter thanks to the help of the nurse who was on duty at that time, who agreed to let her enter taking into account consideration that she was Luis José's wife and he was a doctor at the clinic; so he didn't see any inconvenience. However, that woman was not aware of the macabre crime that April was committing with my mother.Rubén, with a cynical smile, responded to their disbelief:—Atrocity? No, dear April. I don't have a mind as tw
Days after….The transplant had been a success, little Marijose was out of danger and had already been discharged. During that time Ana Paula had decided to move out of Leonardo's hotel and bought a property very close to the beach since she had decided to give herself a new opportunity with Luis José.For her part, Marisol, after being detained, was subjected to psychological examinations where they determined that she suffered from a mental disorder that should be treated under strict medical supervision, so she was transferred to a psychiatric clinic where she had to stay for a period of time. completely indefinite time.He automatically lost custody of his daughter, so Luis José, after undergoing the DNA test which confirmed that he was indeed the biological father, the judge granted him full custody.But since he was willing to return to Ana Paula's side, he asked her to accept being Marijose's adoptive mother, which made her very happy since a very special connection had been bo
Luis José had no choice but to go to Ana Paula and tell her everything that was happening. He was desperate because his daughter's life was at stake and apparently Marisol cared more about her relationship than her own life. daughter.He entered Ana Paula's office without warning. Seeing him so upset, she immediately became nervous, imagining that something bad had happened to the little girl.—But what's wrong with you Luis José? Why do you come into my office like that? Did something happen to your daughter?—I'm desperate, I don't know what to do Ana Paula, please help me.—But please tell me what's happening, I just don't understand you, did something happen to the girl?—The thing is that Marisol doesn't want you to be the donor and she doesn't care that our daughter's life is in danger. She is sick with jealousy and there is nothing that makes her react.—That? But did she go crazy? The girl needs an urgent transplant, time is against us.—Yes, but after she found us kissi
—After a thorough evaluation we have come to the conclusion that Mrs. Ana Paula can be the donor.Luis José immediately hugged Ana Paula while tears ran down her face. It was a very special moment for both of them since life had brought them together in a situation that neither of them could even imagine could happen one day.Then when they separated they couldn't help but look into each other's eyes, they couldn't deny that they still felt something very special that made them shudder when they were close. However, the doctor was present and they immediately dissembled while the doctor without wasting time added:—Well, gentlemen, I am going to make all the arrangements so that we can do the transplant as soon as possible.—Thank you doctor, I have no words to thank you for everything you are doing for my daughter.The doctor patted him on the shoulder as he said:—Better thank Mrs. Ana Paula, she is the one who is covering all the expenses of the treatment, and in addition to th
Ana Paula stood in front of her and said, full of courage:—How do you have the nerve to come and ask me for something like that after my marriage was destroyed because of you?— Mrs. Ana Paula, I am sorry that things happened that way; But with all due respect, if Luis José had truly loved her, he would not have been unfaithful to her, neither with me nor with any other woman.- Be quiet! But how insolence of you to tell me that! What do you know about what our relationship was? We had a happy marriage until you came along and got in his face.—But I didn't force it, ma'am! The point is that that has already happened, I understand how you feel, but we can no longer change destiny. Today Luis José is with me and we have a daughter who needs a transplant to continue living. And the only one who can help our daughter live is you. Unless he wants to use my daughter to get revenge.- Be quiet! But how dare you even say something like that? No matter how much damage you have done to me, no
Leonardo, upon seeing Ana Paula enter the hotel with her head down, did not hesitate for a second to ask her:—Ana Paula But what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad? Did something happen to you at the clinic?—Hello Leo, And where are the children?—They are in the movie theater watching a movie. But tell me, what's wrong with you?—Luis José came to see me at the clinic.—What have you said? But why did he come to see you after so long?—Her daughter has leukemia and urgently needs a donor.—My God! But how unfortunate. But what do you have to do with all that?—She has a bad financial situation and I put the clinic in order so that she can provide all the treatment to her daughter.—You definitely have a very big heart, because after everything someone else did to you in your place, I would have turned my back on him, especially when it comes to the daughter he had with his lover.Ana Paula sighed but didn't say anything, she looked visibly affected by what was happening.
Both were eager to know little Marijose's diagnosis; the doctor had a worried expression that made Luis José even more nervous.—Well, after many tests that have been done in record time at the request of Mrs. Ana Paula, we have detected that the girl has leukemia.—My God it can't be, my daughter can't have leukemia.Ana Paula put her hands over her mouth, she was shocked by the news and it made her very sad to see Luis José suffering in such a heartbreaking way.—I don't know what to tell you Luis José, I can't imagine how you feel, the truth is that it causes me a lot of pain to see you like this. But everything has a solution, there must be some way we can find to help the little girl. Isn't that right doctor?—Indeed, as you say, Mrs. Ana Paula, there is an option that could save the girl's life, and Mr. Luis José, as a doctor, should know what I am referring to. The only alternative is to perform a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.Luis José immediately exclaimed:
When Luis José entered with his little daughter by the hand, he was surprised by how beautiful Ana Paula looked. She wore a tight-fitting skirt with a white silk blouse, which she combined with some very elegant accessories that made her look truly regal like an executive.She wore her long hair loose and that undoubtedly made her look very sensual. While he was simply dressed, although he still had many of his fine clothes from when he was married to her, he could not hide the poor economic situation he had.—Ana Paula! You're really pretty.For her part, she tried to control herself, her heart was beating like a million, she looked at Luis José and at the same time at the little girl, then she tried to hide it so that he wouldn't realize how nervous she was to see him again.—Thank you Luis José, and is that little girl... your daughter?—Yes, this is Marijose.Ana Paula approached and leaned down to greet the little girl, she was really cute.—Hello Marijose, how are you? I am
During all that time Luis José ended up living next to Marisol but never wanted to marry her, they had a beautiful girl whom they called Marijose, the little girl looked a lot like her father, there was no doubt that she was his daughter.He focused on taking care of her and protecting her, it was a consolation for him since he could not see the children he had with Ana Paula as often as he wanted.—But why doesn't Marijose stop crying? - Luis José asked anguished, Marisol had her on her toes but there was no way for her to calm down.—I don't know what to do anymore, he doesn't want to eat. It seems to me that she is very pale and I notice that she is getting weaker every day.—I'm going to take her to the clinic so they can do a complete study, the truth is that I don't really like that paleness she has.—To Ana Paula's clinic?—Yes, there's no way you can pretend that I'm going to take the girl to the fifth-class doctor's office where I work, there isn't even cotton there to c
—As you know, he has a very high debt that he has to pay in a very short period of time. If he does not do so, he would lose the entire clinic and the lawsuit from investors would end up putting him in jail, unless he pays off his debt or declares bankruptcy, which which would result in having to close the clinic immediately.—No! I cannot declare bankruptcy, and I do not want to close my clinic either, it has been years of work and a lot of effort. I practically have my entire life invested here.—So that means that you have the money to be able to pay off the million-dollar debt you have. Isn't that right, Mr. Luis José?He immediately lowered his eyes and remained silent, he knew that he could not pay off a debt as large as that.—From his silence I realize that it is obvious that he does not have that amount of money. Or am I wrong?—No, you are not wrong, because I do not have that sum of money in the bank, but I can get it, it is all a matter of time for the clinic to retur
