My Blind Fiancée

Meanwhile, in Switzerland, Ava was accompanied by Tadeo. She had gone to Switzerland a month and a half after leaving Mateo, intending to stay there until her child was born and then undergo surgery with the hope of regaining her sight.

“The day has dawned beautifully,” Tadeo exclaimed.

“I know, even though I can’t see it, I can feel it. Blind people develop a sixth sense.”

Tadeo was amazed by Ava’s independence. He had learned about Mateo’s engagement and knew it hurt her, but he believed she could overcome it. He was willing to do everything in his power to win her over. Ava hadn’t told him she was pregnant; after all, they weren’t a couple, and she had no obligation to do so. He only realized when he noticed her growing belly.

Now, after several months, her belly was enormous. He watched her standing in front of the window. Ava closed her eyes; she couldn’t see, but she loved feeling the fresh morning air.

Suddenly, Tadeo noticed a look of pain on her face as she held her belly with both hands.

“Ava, are you okay?” he asked anxiously.

“My stomach hurts a lot.”

Tadeo became nervous and immediately called for Lola, who was in the kitchen preparing food. She rushed over to Ava.

“She’s in labor; the baby will be born soon. We need to take her to the hospital right away.”

The detective became even more nervous and quickly carried Ava to the car while Lola went upstairs to fetch the bag they had prepared for the hospital.

An hour later, Ava was in the delivery room, while Lola and Tadeo waited outside. Ava had not wanted anyone to be with her inside; one of the nurses would be responsible for recording the moment when her baby was born.

When she heard the baby cry, she thought it was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard in her life. The doctor placed him on her chest, and she cradled him in her arms, afraid he might slip, so she asked the nurse not to move away from them.

“What does my son look like?” Ava wanted to see her little one’s face; she felt both happy and sad at the same time.

“He’s the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen. He has brown hair and beautiful light blue eyes.”

“Then he must resemble his father,” she said as tears streamed down her face. She asked the nurse to get her phone so she could dial a number.

Mateo was in a business meeting, and his phone began ringing insistently. He thought about not answering, but he saw it was an international number, so it might be something important. Few people had his number. When he answered, all he could hear was heavy breathing on the other end, and then the sound of a baby crying. The call was immediately cut off.

“Apologies, there are people who have no restraint when it comes to making jokes,” he said to the other executives before continuing the meeting. Little did he know that he had just heard the cry of his newborn son.

At the hospital, Ava cried inconsolably. She had been on the verge of saying that the crying baby was her son, but then she remembered that Mateo was engaged and would soon have children with his fiancée. So, she decided to end the call without revealing the truth.

It was a challenging day for Ava. She was dying to meet her son and hoped to recover soon so she could undergo surgery and regain her sight. Later, they transferred her to a room, and Lola arrived promptly, eager to meet the baby.

“My dear, your baby is beautiful, he looks just like Mr. Mateo,” Lola covered her mouth when she realized what she had said.

“I’m anxious to see him, Nana. Now more than ever, I’m determined to have the operation.”

Tadeo entered the room a little later, carrying a large bouquet of peonies. He knew Ava couldn’t see them, but she would recognize the scent of her favorite flowers.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Congratulations to the most beautiful mother in the world.”

“Thank you, Tadeo. I imagine you brought flowers, peonies; their aroma is unmistakable.”

“I brought the biggest bouquet I could find. I know their scent is your favorite.”

“Thank you.”

“Now, allow me to meet this little baby. Wow, he’s truly precious.”

“Of course, he’s my son,” Ava said in a joking tone as she smiled.

Tadeo also noticed that the baby was identical to his father but chose not to mention it.

Ava knew that if Mateo ever found out about the existence of their son, he might not forgive her for keeping it a secret. She had to be very careful if she didn’t regain her sight. If Guido learned about the little one, she was sure he would try to take him away. After all, he had been very clear in saying that she wouldn’t be capable of taking care of a child.

The baby was healthy, and Ava felt very well, so the next day in the afternoon, the doctor discharged them, not without giving the new mother the necessary recommendations. He felt a sense of tenderness seeing the young girl, so young, and on top of that, she couldn’t see her son’s appearance. A gesture of tenderness could be seen on his face as he hoped everything would go well for her. Fortunately, he saw that she had her nanny by her side, which would be a great help.

“I hope everything goes very well. Don’t forget to bring the baby to all his check-ups. We need to monitor his growth closely. He should become a big, healthy baby.”

“We’ll be here punctually. Thank you,” Ava replied, paying close attention to all the instructions.

Ava had a huge smile on her face, which made Lola very happy. Since she had left Mateo, she had been sad most of the time, often in tears. Seeing her smile gave Lola hope that she might finally overcome the fact that the man she loved was soon to marry another woman.

Lola advised Ava on how to raise her baby, suggesting she breastfeed him for at least the first few months. Ava decided to do it for a while; she wanted to undergo surgery and see if she could regain her sight. She lived in fear of having to depend on someone to take care of her child.

“I’ll only do it for three months, Nana. I’ve already talked to the doctor, and after that time, we’ll start the tests to see if it’s viable for me to have the surgery. Before, I wanted to do it to go back and win Mateo back, but now, seeing my son’s face is my greatest motivation.”

Tadeo had requested a temporary transfer to the city. He visited Ava every day and was very attentive to the baby’s growth. Ava cried constantly and felt clumsy, unable to change her baby’s diaper on her own.

“Don’t worry, dear. It will take time, but I’m sure you’ll be able to do it on your own very soon. Don’t despair.”

“It’s been two months already, and I still haven’t been able to do it. I need to have the surgery as soon as possible.”

“Just one more month, my dear.”

Tadeo tried to spend as much time as possible with her. He had set aside his hobbies since she had reached out to him and hadn’t been to a club since.

Mateo hadn’t been to one either. That day, Akiro had an event, and it was logical that he wouldn’t bring Daría along. She couldn’t find out about his hobbies. When she learned what he was planning to do with her, he might reveal them, and that wouldn’t be well-received in the business world.

He arrived at the club but just sat at the bar drinking. He didn’t even pay attention to the dancers on the stage as he used to.

“You’re really messed up, buddy. The girls on the stage are gorgeous, and you haven’t even glanced at them.”

“You know I’m not interested. All I want is to see her again.”

“That’s the problem. Since she left, you’ve dedicated your life to finding her and carrying out that revenge. What if she doesn’t want to be found?”

“I’m sure something happened; that’s why she left me that letter. When I’m face to face with her, I can make her see reason. I know she loves me.”

Akiro shook his head, hoping everything would happen just as his friend expected.

Clara was delighted to see him there without Daría’s company. She knew very well that he couldn’t reveal his true self to just any woman. Not all women were like her, willing to accept him as he was, not even the blind woman had been able to handle knowing the truth.

“Hello, handsome. I knew you wouldn’t last long without this. You need it as much as I do. Come on, let’s go,” she said, taking him by the hand. Mateo pushed her away roughly.

“Haha, you’re so mistaken. The last woman I’d be with is you, even if you were the only one left on Earth.”

Mateo lived in constant struggle. He had to move forward for Ava. Now, he had four detectives searching for her. Daría was growing impatient; Mateo kept delaying the wedding date, offering one excuse after another. Eight months later, she was becoming increasingly desperate. Guido had thought that Mateo’s feelings for Ava would fade over time, but he was wrong. He regretted what he had said to Mateo to some extent. He had seen his grandson cry in despair. If he ever found out that Guido was the reason Ava had left, he might never forgive him.
