“Can I you tell me why you didn’t tell him anything, Carmen? You realize that you almost died because of this story and today you decide to keep silent as if it is completely normal. But what’s wrong with you, tell me.”

She understood Hugo's anger but she didn't want to tell him that she had had a visit from Bea because he was going to take it hard again and yet all she wanted was to avoid everything. Problem with her.

“Carmen, why do I have the impression that there is something you are not telling me? What are you hiding from me?”

“I’m not hiding anything from you, Hugo, believe me, but I prefer things to stay that way. I don't want to fight with this woman anymore and she can do what she wants with Elio and Modesto's lives. They are old enough to realize that they are being duped. It's not up to me to play this game for them. They will realize this themselves.”
