Chapter 56

• Claudia
• The nurse helped me so that I could caress Richard's hand. She says that it is very good for both of us because the body heals when it feels the loved one close, she believes in the healing power that the universe grants and the fact of being at peace both internally and externally. I barely laugh when she makes the comparison with puppies, when a puppy is sick or feeling bad, all it needs is for its owner to hug and pamper it to recover quickly, that's why feeling the love and affection of people around us does us so much good.
• She is quite thoughtful for how young she appears to be. I really like my nurse Molly, little by little I feel the muscles coming out of their lethargy and losing numbness, after a while she leaves me alone again and takes the tray. I take advantage of that time to talk to Richard and confess my desires and fears, explain why I felt so confused and apologize for leaving without stopping to think that the best thing was to stay and fight for his love, I let myself be carried away by impulses, by the pain of the moment.
