Chapter 71

• "My little monkey, look at yourself. Tomorrow will be another day, my love. Let's go to sleep. I'll cuddle you like the baby you are. I'm sorry, sorry for making you suffer, my love. If I hadn't insisted on having you in my life, I wouldn't have given you so many headaches with the problems. But now we're free, I swear, monkey. No one can hurt us anymore. We're going to get married, right? And we're going to have a beautiful family, my love."
• Arturo, seeing that she didn't respond anymore, realized that she had fallen asleep. He cradled her like a baby and put an extra blanket on her to keep warm.
