“ Not exactly . I only saw him a few times at social events ” – replied Isabel .
At that moment , the woman was quickly ushered inside . Seeing Henriques limping after her , his shirt
covered in blood , the hospital director cautiously asked : “ President Ribeiro , Mrs. _ _ Soares and the
child will be fine with Sarahere . Why are you not examined ? _
“ It’s all right , ” Henriques refused , limping after her .
When Isabel heard the hospital director ‘s comment , she abruptly exclaimed , “ Could this Mrs. _ _ _ C
ould Soares be Camila
Soares ?” Her voice was a little loud , so Henriques ‘ head spun as he looked at us . _ the look inhis ey
es were extremely wintry , freezing to
the bone . The moment her eyes met mine , however , her gaze suddenly softened considerably . _ _ _
_ _ However , Isabel and I both winced at the look on her
face . With furrowed brows , _Henriques approached and stopped in front of us . _ “ This is a private m
atter , so please keep this between us , ” he murmured softly . _ Isabel and I nodded instinctively . Look
ing at me , he opened his mouth a little and wasabout to extend his hand when he
noticed the blood all over his body . In the end , he did n’t say anything , just bowed his head to us befo
re turning and leaving . Isabel and I didn’t dare stay here either , so we hurriedly left .
When we got back to the car , Isabel still looked pretty scared . ”
I finally experienced all the strength of Henriques Ribeiro today ” .
“ What do you mean ? _ ”
“ Didn’t
you see the look in his eyes when he looked at us earlier ? ” Isabel countered . “ Why do people say he
is a handsome devil ? _ _ He is simply the devil in the flesh ! _ He almost gave me a fitcardiac ! ” Natur
ally , I felt the same because Henriques ‘ look before was truly petrifying .
“ Who is Camila Soares ? And why did Henriques Ribeiro look at us like that ? ”
“ Camila Soares is a celebrity . As for why he looked at us that way , it ‘s probably because he ‘s afraid
that I ‘ll attract the paparazzi ‘s attention by shouting her name , “ – Isabel deduced . _ “ After
all , they don’twere they talking about saving the mother and child ? I think Camila Soares must be preg
nant with him . Just look how nervous he was earlier . ” _
“ Oh , yes . This Henriques Ribeiro is really a bizarre person to be unbearably arrogant even at
a time like this . He must be used to doing what he wants .”
“ Don’t you know ? Isabel looked at me strangely , _
“ Know what ? _ ” – I asked in return .
“ That Delta Hospital is owned by Henriques Ribeiro ‘s family . ”
Is Delta Hospital owned by the Henriques Ribeiro family ? _ I
was scared for a moment . “ Does n’t Henriques Ribeiro work mainly with luxury items ? _ Why does he
have a hospital ? ”
“The Ribeiro Family ‘s industries are spread across the country , involving finance , real estate , retail , j
ewelry and also medicine … ” At this , Isabel reached out and popped my head . “ I tell you , Linda , yo
u are regressing a lot
.! It seems that marrying Carlos Morais not only lowered her tastes but also lowered her social circle . ”
Upon hearing his words , I
could n’t help but smile bitterly . In fact , I ‘ve been absorbed in working hard after marrying Carlos , all
my time taken up with work and home . _ _ To prevent him from feeling inferior and to save onexpense
s for dresses and jewelry , I even
tried my best not to attend any events among the upper echelons of society , even if there
was an opportunity to do so . As a result , my social circle has
shrunk . Therefore , Isabel is not wrong into say that I downgraded both my likes and my social circle !
Upon seeing my bitter smile , remorse flooded Isabel . “ If I had insisted on preventing you from marryin
g Carlos back then , you would not have ended up in these circumstances . ”
” What ‘s the use of saying that now?” I
took a long breath . Everyone chooses their own paths . _ Since I chose Carlos Morais , who can I bla Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
me for all this ? _
When I returned home , Victoria was the only one . When she saw me returning so
early , she came to me immediately . “ Why are you home so early today ? _ _ ”
“ I didn’t have much work at
the office today . Where are the others ? ” As soon as I said that , Victoria ‘s expression changed a littl
