Chapter 64
Upon entering , I noticed a faint print on the carpet inside . It looked
like something that was left after someone tripped and fell . Surprised , I
closed the door and bent down to play . It looked greasy . Who spilled oil on the rug ?
When I tried to understand , I heard Victoria ‘s voice outside . I opened the door and saw
her talking to Carlos in the kitchen . “ You ‘re back , Victoria . ” I went to her . “ I
thought we asked you to take care of Joana at the hospital “ .
“ Mrs. _ Morais asked me to come home and cook for Mrs. _ _ _ _ branches . She said that Mrs. _ _ R
amos might not be used to hospital food , as it does n’t taste good , ” she replied . _
It even looks like it . Mrs. _ _ Morais probably tried
to chase her away , although I did n’t say that out loud . ” Honey , let Victoria cook since she ‘s back ” .
_
Carlos agreed and left the kitchen to Vitória . Since he was n’t cooking , Bianca wanted him to play with
her .
Carlos promptly played with her . He looked genuine and it didn’t look like he was just faking
it . I could n’t believe
it . He might be nice to an adopted child , but not me . More than once I asked myself : why did he give
methe pills ? Just because he
loved Joana ? I thought I was a much better woman than Joana , so the way he treated me was discon
certing . _ _ _ Is love really blind ? _
No , that was not right . Joana was the one who introduced us and put us in touch . If he loved her , the
re
was no reason for him to marry me . He had enough time to marry her before we met . _ _ _ Onefrighte
ning thought occurred to
me . Could they have been dating before we met ? _ _ Could he marry me by conspiracy ? _ _ _
That was a plausible theory , as Carlos was so astute . A shiver ran
down my spine , but I could n’t flinch . Information was critical , so I had to ask Isabel to hire a private in
vestigator to look into the background of theCarlos and Joana . _ This question of
mine had to be answered .
When dinner was ready , Carlos ate only a few bites before rushing to the hospital with some food . _ r
eady for Joan .
I got up , my mood ruined , and went for a walk with Bianca as usual before heading back . She went to
the bedroom to paint while I went to take a shower. When I walked in I
noticed that the carpet marks were gone . the victory musthave cleaned . When I touched All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
it , the greasy feeling was gone .
Suddenly , an idea occurred to me . “ Victory .” I went to her . “ How did Joana fall ? ”
“ I don’t know either . Victoria stopped what she was doing . _ “ I was doing laundry when she screame
d . When he got out , she was already lying outside his door . _ _ She could n’t stop screaming so I call
ed a _ambulance on time ” .
Despite her denial and smooth elaboration , I saw right through her little lie . “ Why did she leave my ro
om anyway ? _ ” I sighed .
“ Yeah , I thought it was
weird too ”, Victoria replied . “ Beautiful ” She hesitated for a moment . “ I kept it a secret from you, but I
saw her go into her room a few days ago . She looked really suspicious .”
