.The first twenty-four hours were terrible for Gerard, because everything depended on Luz stabilizing and beginning to recover. The next twenty-four… a real torture. Luz showed signs of improvement, the swelling had gone down, she was already on the third day, but she didn’t want to wake up. -Mr. Finnick, this usually happens, sometimes people don’t react immediately and it’s hard for them to wake up – says the doctor, trying to cheer him up -. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)What if he never does? – He asks him anxiously. -He will, just be patient. But that was what he didn’t have. Three days having his wife lying in bed, without speaking, without seeing her little eyes, was a sinister torture. Matías went to see her every day, Luz’s parents stayed with her in the afternoons, long enough for him to be with Charlize, bathe her and return to the hospital to take care of her. Matías’s suspicion was rooted in a single fact that didn’t make sense to anyone: the brakes were deliberately cut, and that single act revealed the intention of a dark mind that wanted to harm Gerard. Because it was impossible for Luz to be the real target, she had a low profile and it would be impossible to want to harm a pregnant girl. Most likely, they mistook the car and thought he was on board. And that thought was killing Gerard with guilt and pain. “Brother, I brought you coffee,” Dan tells him, extending a cup of steaming black coffee. “Thank you,” they both stare at Luz’s face,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) as if she was going to wake up from it to scold Gerard for putting that thing near her. I feel so miserable…I have only brought pain into her life. -Don’t think like that, she loves you… when I went to look for her, I made her see that she never took off her engagement ring and she didn’t tell me anything. That woman over there is strong, just give her time. -Understand me, she should now be trying on her wedding dress, along with her mother. She should be happy that the DA will let me talk to Rickon. We should be in our bed, next to Charlize, enjoying a movie with a cup of hot chocolate, while the rain falls outside.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) -I should be preparing her interview with the University of New York… but I’m not. That doesn’t mean I don’t do all those things when I get out of here. What if she doesn’t come out? – A sob escapes from Gerard’s chest and he can’t take it anymore, Dan must take the cup of coffee before he spills it. I’m scared, Dan… me without her… – Enough – says his friend, leaves the cups aside
and takes him by the shoulders – What did the doctor say? -That he will come out… but he must have woken up. -Let her rest. -But the later, the more serious the consequences may be, that’s another risk… I’ll never forgive myself. “Just think that she will do it.” Dan looks at Luz and Gerard does the same. I’m sure with love that woman has you, she is fighting with the darkness to see you again. And that comment from Dan makes Gerard remember Luz’s words when they said goodbye that morning. “Even in the darkest darkness of my life, I would never stop thinking about you.” He takes Luz’s hand, kisses it and smiles. -I know you’re thinking of me now…-he tells her with a voice drowned in tears-, so just follow my voice, I’m waiting for you. A couple of tears fall on Luz’s hand and she tries to wake up, she really does, but something stops her. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Something tells her that she should stay like this a little longer, because something else must happen. Although she has no idea what that could be, she pays attention to that force, because that something insists that it is important, urgent, necessary. The image of Gerard crying and desolate comes to mind. His parents with a haggard face, Matías desperate to find the culprit. “Wait for me, Gerard, just a little longer and I swear no one is going to separate us again.” What none of them know, but I do, is that it is absolutely necessary for them to live more peacefully for a while.
