Chapter 66: With fear
-Mari, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be making this decision.
Ana reached out and tugged on Mariana's sleeve, looking at her. Her heart was filled with guilt. At first
she wanted to help Mariana, but she ruined everything in the end. This made her feel more and more
guilty and sad.
Hiding her various emotions, Mariana turned her head, gently caressed Ana's hand and sighed.
Looking at her, she consoled him:
-It's not your fault, she's always wanted to get me in trouble, thinking about how to kick me off the set.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
However, after saying these words, Mariana felt uneasy. If her father had been bribed by Andrea, then
it was only a matter of time before she lost this job.
But these...
Mariana looked at Ana, whose eyes were full of tears, and said no more. It was better that she did not
find out about these things.
Mariana lived the next few days in fear, but nothing happened. During this period of time, her father did
not appear again, so she felt disconcerted but also relieved.
That day, Mariana came to the set, left the bag in her hand, and then went to work.
Suddenly the phone rang, Mariana was a little confused. Holding the scissors in one hand, the other
hand went for the phone, but her eyes were still looking at the clothes on the table and thinking.
However, her hand was accidentally cut by the scissors. Blood slowly seeped out, causing pain to her.
She hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief and pressed it over the wound.
Her cell phone was still dreaming, Mariana impatiently picked up the phone,
-I am Mariana.
Her eyes kept looking at her wound, the blood soaking into the tablecloth.
-You are Mariana, yes? I'm Lina from Patio Feliz. I'm sorry to bother you. Zoraida is sick and there's no
one to take care of her. I didn't have time either, so I found your phone number in her phone.
The person spoke in an embarrassed voice, obviously not wanting to upset Mariana, but he had no
choice.
Mariana's body trembled and the handkerchief covering the wound fell to the floor, the wound was still
bleeding. Mariana was a little worried when she heard Lina's words.
He was holding the phone between his head and shoulder, and was caught by his injured hand as the
phone was about to fall to the ground. As the action was too big, the wound continued to bleed.
Mariana asked anxiously:
-Are you in the Happy Courtyard now? I'll be right back.
-Yes, then I'll wait for you here," Lina said in a cheerful voice.
After gathering her things, Mariana did not have time to ask permission from the director, she hurried to
take a cab to the Patio Feliz. Her heart was beating violently, her lips were white and trembling, now
she felt panic and worry.
He didn't want anything to happen to the old woman who had given him so much warmth in his
childhood.
When she got out of the car, looked up and saw a rusty sign that read Happy Courtyard, Mariana felt a
little sad, but also a little happy.
Remembering, Mariana quickly ran to Zoraida's house. She was about to knock on the door when it
opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties. She had some wrinkles at the corners of
her eyes, was cleanly and plainly dressed, and had a smile on her face.
It was Lina, Zoraida's neighbor who had just called her.
Mariana smiled and extended her hand in a very friendly way and asked:
-You're Lina, aren't you? I'm Mariana, is Zoraida inside now? Is she okay?
Lina happily extended her hand to shake Mariana's and nodded with a smile:
-The girl has become a woman.
He then went on to say sadly: This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
-During this period of time, Zoraida's state of health is unstable. She says she is fine and does not want
to go to the doctor. Now she is seriously ill. As you know, Zoraida has no relatives and no money to go
to the hospital, so she can only lie in bed.
-A few days ago, I realized that I had not seen her out for a walk for a long time. That is why, I came
here, but I did not expect that her illness aggravated.
With a fierce tremor in her heart, Mariana entered Zoraida's house with Lina.
There was a thin old woman lying on the bed, her hair was white, some of it was even knotted, and it
looked a bit dirty and disheveled. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, not realizing that
someone had come in.
Seeing this scene, Mariana's heart trembled. Tears wet Mariana's eyes, then flowed out of her eyes
and down her cheeks, slowly.
She approached Zoraida's bedside and reached out her trembling hand to gently caress her face. She
felt bitter.
When she was a child, her parents beat her, she left home and walked alone. Eventually she came to
this courtyard. This little girl looked at the word Happy and got angry. She picked up a rock, and threw it
at the sign. As I vented my anger, a kind and gentle voice rang in my ears.
-Girl, why are you doing this? Do you know that this sign can feel pain too? If you treat it like this, it will
cry at night.
The old woman gave a sigh, her tone was soft.
