 Mr Thompson chides her, but in reality, he feels terribly afraid that what she's saying might be true. The night before, David had told him everything they'd done during the operation, and he was very concerned about the blood clots they'd extracted and their fear that it might have affected Christian in some way. 

 He doesn't want his poor son to spend years lying in a bed again, not knowing if he'll wake up or not. Nor does he want to go through the forgetfulness that Christian suffered all these years, and now that things were better, this happens again.

"You'll see, he'll be fine," he repeats, more to convince himself than his daughter.

 

Meanwhile, on the floor below them, in the room that Dr Ivan managed to secure for Isabella and Marta along with the children, Santiago dozes in an armchair beside them both. They had spent the night trying to convince him to lie down with one of them, to no avail; he remained in the armchair the entire

    A considerable amount of time has passed since the events unfolded, and Isabella hasn't heard from Christian. She hasn't sought him out either, and although Marta continues to work at the publishing house, it's Christie who's in charge now. Despite Isabella's repeated inquiries about her brother, Christie remains tight-lipped, only saying that he's away on a trip. This has led Isabella to conclude that he must have reunited with Adele, which explains why no one knows their whereabouts.For her part, Isabella returned to university and completed the final term of her Business Negotiation and Management degree. She then resolutely began working with her father and grandfather at the shipping company. She wants nothing more to do with Christian and forbids anyone from mentioning him. Her focus now is solely on the goal she's had since discovering her pregnancy: to raise her children and forge ahead on her own.Isabella finds happiness in assisting her

    Isabella stood for a moment, watching her young daughter who wouldn't stop insisting on being taken to see her father. After all, she had accepted him as such, and Christian had assumed that role, she thought."All right, I promise I'll take you to see Dad as soon as I can," Isabella conceded, causing Christian's heart to race. "Now, give me the phone. Hello, is that you, Christian? If it is, why aren't we talking? Christian...?"However, he didn't answer, just listening to her for a moment until he felt the call end. He wiped away a tear that had rolled down his cheek. His mother, who had been listening to everything, came over and hugged him tightly as she heard him cry openly on her shoulder."You have to tell her, son. You have to tell her," she suggested."No, Mum. I don't want to tie her to this life," he said sadly."What are you going to do, then?" Mrs Thompson asked, desperate because her son was sinking into sadness."I don't know. I jus

    Isabella froze as she saw Christian standing with his back to her, just two steps away. He didn't turn upon hearing the door open, but rather moved towards the balcony as he spoke."Irene, take these papers to my sister for her to review and return to me for signing. I'll send them off today."Isabella realised he was referring to documents on the bed. She crept silently towards them and picked them up, only to discover they were their divorce papers. She opened her mouth to speak but heard him continue."Tell her to pay close attention to the section I mentioned, where I refuse to give up my children under any circumstances. I only want to set Isabella free to do as she pleases. She doesn't deserve to live like this... Irene, this isn't working. I'll ask Mum to assign someone else to attend to me."Isabella now struggled to comprehend Christian's words. Could he possibly be involved with the maid? she wondered, as tears rolled down her cheeks and a sob esc

    Christian left the house to walk, immersed in his thoughts. He felt both excited and terrified by Isabella's visit. He wasn't sure if it was real, but he had sensed her scent."Sir, what are you doing here?" he heard the voice of a security guard. Without realising, he had wandered to the entrance."Emilio, by any chance, has my wife been around here?" he asked hopefully."How do you know?" came the question in return."Was she here? Did you let her in? I gave precise orders not to do so!" he said furiously, thinking he had been disobeyed. "Why wasn't I informed?""No, no, sir. Mrs Isabella came in the morning, and we didn't let her in. She waited on the street for a while, but then she left and didn't return," the guard clarified, observing him curiously."Are you certain she didn't come back or somehow enter the house?" he asked again. He had smelled her perfume; he was almost sure it was her in his room, that she had seen him and taken the divo

    Isabella stared at her grandmother for a moment, then burst into tears again, inconsolable. Tania, not understanding, came to her side and hugged her tightly, trying to comfort her."Come now, darling, surely it can't be that bad to make you cry like this. What is it? Does Christian want a divorce?"At hearing the question, Isabella broke down crying again, as if her heart was aching unbearably. At that moment, her father Santiago entered, followed by her grandfather. They stood there, not knowing what to do, watching as Tania tried unsuccessfully to console her. Santiago approached and embraced her tightly."What's wrong, darling? Why are you crying like this?" he asked, concerned."It's nothing, Dad, it's nothing."Isabella tried to wipe away her tears and compose herself. Grandfather Sardino touched his son's shoulder and told him to leave her alone with her mother. Despite wanting to know what was troubling his daughter, Santiago understood it was best t

    Marta cried out, her eyes wide open, as she read aloud the message Mrs Elmira had sent. "She says he had a tumour in his head, and they operated on him the day we were rescued. Lucy was right, it was Chris on that stretcher! He was critically ill in hospital for six months, and he went blind. God! It's true, Christian is blind!""No! It's not true, no, no, it can't be true!" Isabella's scream made them jump, as she had heard everything. "No, no, Chris can't be blind, he can't be, he can't be!"She snatched the phone from Marta's hand, reading the message Mrs Elmira had sent over and over again, repeating the same thing."No, no, it can't be true, it can't be true! Why didn't he tell me? Why?""Calm down, Bella, you won't gain anything by getting like this," Grandmother urged, taking her and leading her away as she saw the children, Santiago, and Grandfather rush into the kitchen upon hearing her screams."What's happening?" Grandfather asked, and Marta

Are you alright, Dad?" Lucy asks, stroking his face.Christian is so overwhelmed that he doesn't know what to do or say, he just manages to hug and kiss his children over and over again, wishing with all his heart that he could see them."Mum…, Dad…, Christie…"He calls out to everyone, trying to get them to come and help him, so the children don't realise that he can't see them. His sister immediately rushes out to see what's going on and why he's calling her with such desperation."Auntie!"The children shout when they see her running out of the kitchen door and they run to meet her, hugging her happily."Lucas, Lucia!

    Isabella had left almost at dawn, feeling that she had to fight a tough battle to win back her husband, Christian. Now she felt regretful for having been away from him for so long. So, the next day, she decided to send the children to spend the day with their father again. And she sent a message with Lucas."Dad, Mum's asking if you can pick us up from school every afternoon?" Lucas asked anxiously. "Say yes, Dad.""Every afternoon?" Christian asked, concerned."Yes, she's got a lot of work with Grandad, and since you're at home, she thought you'd like us to come and be with you here. Say yes, Dad, please," the boy pleaded."I like it, I like it, that's not it. I also have work..." Christian said, trying to refuse, because he knew that if they came every day, they would eventually realise what was happening to him. He was blind. "I don't know if I can do it every day.""Say yes, Daddy," his sweet little girl Lucy asked, sitting on his lap and showering him w

    Two cars were hidden opposite the Sardino mansion. In another, further away, Eva, in disguise, supervised the operation. They had initially planned to go directly to Christian's house, but after learning that Isabella took the children there every day, they decided to follow her and kidnap all three on the way."I say, Ruan, doesn't this house look familiar from the telly?" asked one of them who had never been to the place before."From the telly? What do you mean by that?""I reckon this house was on the telly. It belongs to the Sardinos.""Which Sardinos? The millionaires?""Yes, those very ones. Are you certain that woman isn't deceiving us? Whose children did she say they were?""Now that you mention it, she's never told us whose children we're nabbing. She just keeps saying the family has enough money to pay a hundred million for them without batting an eyelid. That she'll give us fifty, and the rest will be hers. Are you sure it's the Sardinos'? Haven't they sold it?""I don't k

    Everyone was deeply shaken by what was happening. It was something they hadn't expected."Spare no expense," Mr Thompson interjected, embracing Christian. "I'll give my entire fortune if necessary, but they must return them alive, do you understand? All I care about is saving my grandchildren!""Unfortunately," Grandfather Sardino said, "we haven't yet received any news from the kidnappers. We've alerted all our contacts and police agencies. However, no one knows anything, no one saw anything. It happened in a very strategic location near the house, where there are no traffic cameras. It was fortunate that Bella managed to call before she lost consciousness.""Dad, it looks like the doctors are coming out. Let's go," Santiago said, walking to meet the doctor emerging from the operating theatre. "Well, doctor, how are my daughters?""The operations went well," the doctor began to explain. "Marta had some severe fractures in her legs, but we managed to reconstruct them. Fortunately, the

    It was Saturday, and Christian sat with his family in the living room, sharing happy stories about the children who often stayed with them. Christian's eyesight had improved slightly; he could now see light and some blurry shapes."Hey Chris," his sister called, "why don't we ask Bella to let Lucas and Lucy stay tonight and pick them up tomorrow? It's quite late now. She said she'd bring them after the supermarket, but they haven't arrived yet. It's dark already; perhaps she changed her mind about bringing them.""No, Marta warned me they might be late, but said they'd come even if it took an hour. The children say they have a surprise for me. It's a good idea, though. I'll ask Lucas—he's the negotiator. I don't know where he gets his intelligence from.""Ha ha ha," Mr Thompson laughed. "Listen, dear, did you hear what your son said about not knowing where Lucas gets it from? Don't our grandchildren remind you of those two when they were little?""That's right, love.

    Marta stared at her now-sister for a moment. Bella seemed to go through life without understanding anything, which is why she said, somewhat irritated:"Do you still call her mum? That woman isn't your mum, Bella. Goodness knows who she stole you from!""Look, Marta, even though Dad showed me that paternity test, I don't believe it. And do you know why?""Why?""Because if Eva isn't my mum, then who is? How could Dad not know who my mum is?" Bella asked very seriously and added, "That's why I suspect he wants me on his side against Mum in the divorce mess. That's why he wants me to think I'm not her daughter, so I won't object to him leaving her with nothing.""Bella! How can you believe such a macabre thing about Dad? Listen, and I'm telling you this for Lucas and Lucy's sake! Wake up, because that woman is wicked and capable of doing anything to your children and to us! Dad isn't capable of deceiving you like that. Just look at the way he looks at you and loves you; he wouldn't do s

    Christian lay on his bed after emerging from the bathroom, where he had indulged in fantasies about Isabella. He was seriously considering visiting his psychologist, as he believed his current state wasn't normal. Could he truly not live without her? It had all seemed so real-her body in his hands, how he had plunged into her repeatedly. Was Isabella actually visiting him, remaining silent so he wouldn't realise it was her? Did she know he was blind and accept him as he was?At that moment, the bedroom lights switched on as his mother entered. He sat up abruptly."Mum, I think... I think I saw the light when you turned it on. You did turn it on, didn't you?""Yes, son, I just did. Are you regaining your sight as the doctor said? David... David... come and see Chris, David!""What is it, Mother-in-law?

    After all the commotion surrounding Marta and Rodrigo's relationship, everyone in the house is delighted that they are a couple. They hold the young man in high regard and know he is very responsible. They are particularly pleased that he respected her throughout and that, had Marta not essentially won his heart, he wouldn't have pursued the relationship.The following day, Mrs Tania invited Augusto, her lifelong bodyguard, and his wife Leila for lunch. She wanted to quickly formalise Rodrigo and Marta's relationship, as the couple couldn't stop gazing at each other happily. Since Marta's arrival with Isabella, she had initially remained very quiet, and although everyone loved her and made her feel like family, they could sense that she felt inhibited in many ways.Now she is brimming with happiness, constantly smiling and allowing others to embrace her, something she didn't commonly do before. This is especially true after managing to have Rodrigo assigned as her bo

    Santiago and his father stared intently at the girls, who were at a loss for what to do or say. Despite her earlier words, Marta had quickly released Rodrigo's hand, and he too seemed unable to react. Isabella looked at her father and, seeing his reproachful head shake, hugged her grandmother, hiding behind her."Seriously, Bella? Are you going to pass your sister off as Rodrigo's girlfriend?" Santiago asked, trying to coax Isabella out from behind her grandmother."Dad, it's not what you think!" Marta stepped forward, attempting to defend Isabella, who was silently pleading for help. "Dad, it's not Bella who's with Rodrigo... it's me!""This is the limit, Isabella," he said, to the astonishment of all three women. "Now you want to pass Marta off as your lover's girlfriend to deceive me?""Dad!" Isabella exclaimed, emerging from behind her grandmother, who was chuckling at the mess unfolding before her.

    He didn't know that I couldn't cash the check here. Although, about Eva's money, I think you're right. I remember hearing my father saying that Santiago's company is frozen, because it's going bankrupt. If the Sardino patriarch doesn't step in, he'll be left with nothing. So it's true what you're saying. Where's Eva going to get money from? Although, she might have her own stash hidden away."Now I understand why Eva is so agitated, although it seemed she didn't know. She says she has a good plan, it might suit us, what do you think?""Do you trust her, Luis? I don't like Eva one bit. When have you ever heard of a mother plotting to kidnap her own daughter's children? I don't like that woman, I don't. Let's hear what she's planned. But if we don't like it, we're leaving, agreed?""I don't trust her either, but she's still someone we can get money from, and right now I'm going to cash this cheque Santiago gave me to pay for Luisito's hospital bill, we can't get him out

Upon opening the door, there was Vivian and her mother with the child."Mum! Vivian! What are you doing here?" Luis asked, genuinely surprised."We're so sorry, son, but the little one didn't take to the climate and had been unwell since we arrived. The doctor advised us to return to a warmer one. As we had no idea where to go, we came to stay here for a few days, so you could help us find another place. And by the way, as we couldn't send money, we collected them to come with us.""Mum, you shouldn't have done that. Dad found out about everything and he's fuming. You should have called me and explained, I would have sorted everything out from here.""Luis, it's just for a few days.
