Chapter 79 Decisive Moment

• Lizandra
• The first time I saw Lourdes Heeren, I felt nothing towards the woman being introduced to me. Nothing. Now everything was completely different when she entered the restaurant, and Heloísa didn't warn about her presence. My heart was huge inside my chest as if it no longer fit in that place. The beats were too fast, causing a sensation of tremendous discomfort, but I remained firm in not letting all the emotions overwhelming me at that moment show.
• That woman abandoned me for years, and nothing can change that fact. Nothing she does will repair the years I wondered where my mother was and why she never thought to come back for me or even made a simple visit. And that's what I clung to, not to let myself be carried away by those silly and disproportionate feelings for someone who meant so little to me. So, I just returned to the present moment and responded to Mr. Vicente.
