Chapter 158

• A week had passed since the first day Azora heard the words about God, and Lamech noticed a change in her behavior. She always carried the Bible that Zion had given her to every patient, and he often saw her reading it on the balcony while facing the vast ocean glistening under the sunlight.
• He wondered about this change in Azora because, according to Hana, Azora wanted to get his attention. But since she started listening to Zion, it was as if she no longer sought his attention, and didn't get lost in thought when he didn't give her attention. Thus, he found himself not worrying as much about Azora spacing out, which gave him more time to look into the situation at his office and Alibata's in the city.
• Alibata told him that the tension in the city hadn't eased. Clasiso continued to suppress all Briones' businesses. The head prosecutor of the City Prosecutor Office appealed to suspend his license, but Alibata managed to prevent it. Lamech had submitted a notice to leave at the Regional Prosecutor Office, so his vacation in Santander was legal.
