Sometime later, the doctor who had softened in contact with the inhabitants of the small community had returned several times and had even taken a liking to the community offering regular visits to examine the inhabitants.For many, it was thanks to Emma their little blessing.Speaking of the latter, she had vaguely recovered the aggravated symptoms of the disease had disappeared. However, the doctor continued to follow her, Jeanne asking him questions as time passed.One thing that caught her attention was the difficulty Emma now had in expressing herself normally. It was as if her tongue was far too heavy for her mouth and made articulating words difficult. Her voice was deep and the words felt heavy to listen to. It was not normal.“That's what I said a month ago… cases of bacterial meningitis cause sequelae which may differ depending on the individual… for others they will have mental confusion, these are the cases where this does not happen. It's not very serious but there's like
Despite the huge tuition fees, Jeanne had not given up hope of putting Emma in a special school, especially when her sister came back in the evening with scratches on her face.Every time she asked, Emma just shook her head Jeanne thought it was because both of them hadn't mastered sign language yet. It had only been two months since Doctor Valum's friend had arrived at their camp. The majority of the locals had wanted to learn because they didn't want to be left out of possible communication with Emma.Only the old folks and a few others found it unnecessary because you didn't have to learn to sign to communicate feelings. Cliché apologies like Sebastian used to say.Emma was in kindergarten, and even if she had told her teacher not to worry because Emma's handicap was not going to impact the education she was going to give to the other students, she was certain that her teacher would have been reluctance and kind of rejection towards her sister.But she preferred to stay positive ima
The sky seemed to have lost its blue for more than six months since Nancy had died. This woman had been a grace to the Clark sisters and now that she thought about it, Jeanne couldn't help but think that maybe she should have spent more time with the woman instead of always running after the money.With Nancy's death, she had discovered a fact. Humans were worth more than money. But she had to work to ensure a future for her sister, she told herself. On the other, she took full measure of many things in her life. She had ruined her relationship with Sebastian because of her indifference to things around her and the same indifference had also led to her not noticing that Nancy was feeling bad. She had to change course if only for Emma.But even so, she was helpless. The reason, she was not at school with her and knew nothing of what was going on there. Emma said nothing to her even when she insisted she did not confide. It looked like everything was fine at school but even she knew it w
Jeanne had announced the day before their departure that she would stay in Central and that she and Emma would go to live in the southern districts of the city. It was on the other side of this place at the opposite extreme, so no one would want to marginalize them not knowing where they came from. She had thanked them for everything and even if her decision had not pleased them, they were going to respect her."Good.. but take these savings with you it's from the whole community... buy yourself a house with it and settle in well with Emma... but if one day you need anything you know where to find us"“Yes I will not forget it”Jeanne took these funds and said to herself that these would be the last favors she would accept from others, from today she was going to fight alone to take care of Emma. She knows it won't be easy but she'll get thereEven today she wonders after all that happened to Emma if she shouldn't have gone with them.The next morning they were all about to leave and s
I felt heavy as if a huge weight had been placed on me and I know something about that from my years of abuse experience. Once my bulliers had placed a huge truck wheel on my back and it was so painful that until today I still remember this bad moment.So when I say that I feel like my body is under very heavy pressure, I know what I'm talking about.I had a funny dream when we were still at El Pazo camp with Nancy and all the others, I think it was the happiest moment of my life because I had people around me. people who truly loved me. I would certainly have liked to leave with them but well, we had stayed and I also tell myself that it is a twist of fate otherwise I might never have accomplished everything I have done so far.I also dreamed of Sebastian, Jeanne's ex-boyfriend. Ah, I don't know what love is, to be honest, but what is certain, this boy cared a lot for Jeanne even if she said mean words to him, he always smiled at her. Could this be love? Still, he had kept his promise
I watched my sister in the doorway as her eyes filled with tears as my thoughts from earlier hit me head-on. I looked down in shame as I blamed her for my misfortunes, she was crying for me and I'm sure knowing her that she was feeling guilty all the way.I felt like the worst person there was right then, I blamed my sister for everything those girls did to me. I blamed another person for denying the real culprits of my situation.I hugged Michael's sheets, the tremors coming back to me, I wanted to cry because I felt miserable.I a real ungrateful after all that my sister has done for me, she works for several hours and since I am old enough to understand, I see her squirming with aches after each day. She doesn't take care of herself, she has a look that sucks as the girls from my old high school would say, but she always takes it to heart to give me the best.I feel Michael's hand on mine and I turn to him, he doesn't look at me, preferring to look at the wall in front of him.This
Michael didn't know what had come over him. He had lost his mind or what? He had wanted to take advantage of Emma's fragility and innocence when she was in a delicate situation. He was ashamed, luckily Jeanne had arrived in time otherwise he didn't know where he was going to do now.Damn, he loved that girl so much he couldn't control his feelings anymore.He was leaning against his bedroom door sliding his hand over his face as he sighed. Jeanne is no fool and knows what would happen if she had just delayed another five seconds. He would have tasted Emma's beautiful lips. He swallowed a large amount of saliva, his heart quickening its pace as he imagined their lips overlapping.He was sure it would be Emma's first kiss but as his mind drifted to those thoughts, he shook his head vigorously. No Emma was too pure and innocent for him to start taking advantage of her like that. He'll just wait and when he's sure she's open enough and can accept his feelings without being scared of them,
Charlotte didn't feel well, no, you could say she was even angry.Already this morning, her father tells her that he can't get her a place where she and Michaël could only go for the weekend together because business is in a slump, for good reason, new taxes on imports of automotive products.Her father had already complained too recently, between the fact that the competitors were becoming far too numerous, that certain large international firms had found their way into the country with the help of members of the government, which skews the affairs of national firms, some of its partners who have embarked on the production of their parts, but above all the more than the unfair competition.Her dad had been complaining about everything lately and it had started to annoy the whole family, at least the sane ones. Her mother had told him to find a solution, he is one of the pioneers of these exchanges in the country, he must have had a little more notoriety but still every day it was the
