CHAPTER 36

Pablo

By the time I manage to catch up with Patricia, she has just had an accident.

I arrived too late. I park my car on the side of the road and throw my car on her car.

Me: Patricia!

My voice is tinged with sadness. I pull her out of the vehicle. I check, fortunately she still breathes. The smoke is huge. I have no idea what's going on there but it's not normal. There is a lot of fuel spilled on the ground too.

I pick her up and put her in the back of my car.

Me: Hold on baby, we're already getting to the hospital.

I get in the car to start it. I put the key in the car. As soon as I start the car explodes into flames.

I grab my head with my hands. What would have happened if Patricia had stayed in that car one more second.

Felix's screams call me.

He throws himself on the burning car and shouts Patricia's name repeatedly.

Adriana and Catarina are also there watching the scene with tears in their eyes.

I run to him and tell him that Patricia is in my car.
