Chapter 26

• Maximiliano was outside Amelia's mother's house, about ten minutes had passed, and he saw Amelia leave, he saw from a distance, how the woman made a happy gesture, saying goodbye to her mother, and when the door was closed, he saw her break down, sobbing loudly, bringing her hands to her face as she clenched her fists with what seemed to be helplessness. Many theories possessed Maximiliano's head, but the idea that his mother had cancer was the strongest, and the most logical, considering the joy he had seen in those feminine eyes when he had said that his grandfather had beaten cancer.
• He stood watching as the woman struggled with the tears, until she managed to stop them, only then did she walk to Maximiliano's car. The man was not too good with feelings, so, although he felt sorry for her, he did not even know what kind of comfort to give to a person he barely knew.
• Amelia entered Maximiliano's car, putting on a pair of sunglasses to prevent her red-stained eyes from being the center of attention, but she was unaware that from a distance, he had seen her.
