Chapter 56

Charlize and Gerard stop at the door to say goodbye to Luz, while the man feels totally uneasy.

Now that she is gone, the whole weight of that secret falls on his shoulders. – Daddy, can I take a nap? I think I’m still dreaming of the holidays.

“Sure, princess, come on.”

As the little girl hugs her teddy bear, Gerard’s phone vibrates in his pocket, checking the screen, he sees that it’s Dan and gets out of there immediately.

-Dan, do you have what I asked for?

Already far away, Luz sends a message to her brother to tell him that she will be with him in about fifteen minutes. She looks out the window with a smile, because now she feels freer, less afraid.

Gerard didn’t pressure her, didn’t judge her…he just loved her and made an effort to remove that outrage from her skin and her memories.

Perhaps it is time to go one step further, to accept his help to do justice for her. Because the truth is that she cannot go for the justice of others if she does not start with herself.

Upon arrival, she sees that Matías is waiting for her at the entrance of the place and runs to hug her when she gets out of the car.
