I laughed at her softly . “ I thought you were fine with the VIP wing . _ ” I
feigned concern . “ Why the sudden change ? _ ”
“ That infirmary costs an arm and
a leg . Do you think money grows on trees ? _ If she did n’t change rooms , we would go bankrupt ” , re
plied Mrs. _ _ Morales , irritated .
“ I thought
we had agreed to let Carlos pay . Didn’t he pay you ? I was faking dementia .
“ If you like it so much , why do n’t you pay for
it yourself ? Why ask Carlos ? _ _ It is not easy for him to earn money ” –
Mrs. Morais looked at me . Obviously , she was trying to get Joana ‘s money , but she could n’t ..
“ Mom , what are you talking about ? Carlos is my husband , my family . It makes no difference which
one of us pays , right ? ” I retorted .
With no further responses , Ms. _ Morais stormed out , holding back her insults .
After Mrs. _ _ _ Morais left , Joana cried , but I knew she was faking it . “ It’s all my fault , Linda . I ‘ve b
een nothing but trouble . ” _
“ Do n’t think about it , Joana . Carlos and I are here for you . Mom ‘s not in the
mood , that ‘s all . She wo n’t leave you alone , ” I consoled her .
“ I know . It’s all my fault . I got pregnant , I can not work and I
have no money . If I only had some money , I wouldn’t be in this state .”
Ah , so this bitch was planning to complain about her situation so I would give her money , huh ? I had
my guard up . No wonder Mrs. _ _ _ Morais left Joana alone . _ I was wondering why then _ _ _that ‘s
what they intended . Heh , so Joana and Mrs. _ _ _ Morals were trying to get me to shell
out some cash , huh ? I scoffed . “ Do n’t worry about the money . I do n’t have much , but Carlos does
. I will tell himto give you a little . when you get home ” .
Joana was astonished when I told her that Carlos would be notified . Refusing to show her true colors a
nd ruining her image , she quickly dismissed me . _ _ “ Don’t tell Carlos about this , Linda ” .
“ Why ? _ ” I asked stupidly .
“ You are my friend , Linda , but not Carlos . You helped me a
lot . If you ask Carlos for money now , he will _
see bad _
“ But I don’t have any money , and neither do you . If I ca n’t tell Carlos about this , who should I tell ? ”
“ I have some money here . I was just complaining , that ‘ s all . Don’t take it seriously . ”
Now that that bitch has taken a step back , I
let the money slide , but that was n’t the end of it . After chatting with her for a while , I excused myself ,
saying I wanted to see Mrs. Morais , because she was outa while ago . When I left , I saw Mrs. Morals
across the hall , much to my chagrin . _ _ However , I created a little plan and ran towards her . _ _ Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
