Chapter 45

• I asked Rafa, Andres and my father to accompany me to a secluded place to talk to them, I told them what the doctor had told me, I told them about the beginning of the abortion and the drugs that Ana had taken, that we still didn't know how she had done it, but she had done it and all we had to do was wait for her to wake up, it made me happy to know that the baby was fine and so was Ana. I ask Rafa for a detailed report on the life of each of the boys, I know that they were already checked when they entered the house, but some of them may have fallen for the temptation of easy money and let someone into the house or put the drug themselves in something that Ana took. The other point is that the boys almost never came to the house, only when they went to eat, they had rules for themselves.
• I tell Andres what happened yesterday morning before I left the house and he tells me that he will talk to the girl first so as not to scare her, because I am not saying that the girl is to blame, but maybe she was used as bait by a sick bastard who took her innocence as a game and the poor girl fell for it.
• When the nurse tells me that I can go in to see her, I go as fast as I can, I enter the room where my wife was, she was still sleeping on the bed, she is connected to an oxygen tube because she could not breathe well. Her bulging belly is still there and it fills me with emotion to know that she is still struggling to come into the world, they are small and to know how she struggled in this life full of evil, I approach the bed, I take her hand between mine.
