Chapter 56

• Hours passed, and Damiano had not arrived.
• Victoria had seen the arrival of night, the intense and cold dawn, and even the rain that followed the cloudy night. She saw everything except what she wanted most.
• Another night passed, and Damiano did not visit her. Once again, she was alone in a room, without any contact with another person except the woman responsible for her care, who, after noticing her improvement, ceased her frequent visits.
