– The son who did not die
The entire room fell silent.
Nobody was breathing.
Valeria felt her legs give way… but she didn’t fall. She couldn’t fall. Not now.
“Where is he?” Her voice came out low, but firm. “Tell me where he is.”
The man hesitated, glancing sideways at the guests… at Sebastián… at Lucía…
—I can’t talk here, miss…
Valeria took another step, her gaze turning to pure ice.
—Speak up… or you’ll regret it.
The man swallowed.
“He’s in a private hospital… north of the city. But… there are people watching him.”
-Who?
The man did not respond.
But it wasn’t necessary.
Valeria slowly turned her head… and her eyes fixed on Lucia.
Lucia took a step back.
—No… I don’t know what you’re talking about…
Valeria smiled.
But it wasn’t a human smile.
—You never knew how to lie well.
