Chapter 43

• An hour later, Cristine was in the same operating room with Helen's son, they would do the transplant right away, they wouldn't wait any longer, and although the process wasn't something that would put either of their lives at risk, outside, in the waiting room, Fernando and Helen were sitting waiting for news, It would be two long hours that would have to pass to find out anything about their relatives.
• Helen was sitting in a corner completely away from Fernando, and not because she was bothered by his presence, but simply that each of them wanted to deal with their situation in this way. She, on the other hand, was exhausted, and also incredulous about her son's paternal family. He still didn't accept that she had hidden her children from them.
• Fernando got up for a cup of coffee, the machine was close to Helen, and he turned to look at her.
