Chapter 2 The security

hit hard on the head, bruises all over my body â€" clearly marks of aggression âand partial memory loss.

I took a deep breath and faced the door. This time, I managed to be stronger and reach the corridor without much difculty. A dizziness came over me as I walked faster and backed away. The nurses ran to me as soon.

as they saw me, I gasped in fright when someone grabbed me from behind and carried me. The nursesstopped in the middle of the hallway when they saw who was picking me up. The man managed to turn mearound and press me against his chest, which made me see who he was. The tall, strong redhead picked me

up in his arms and carried me into the room with ease. I was surprised by his size. What a big man! My gaze fell on his coat. Doctor Pedro Bertoni. Is he the one Juan spoke about? I released my arms from his neck ashe carefully laid me back on the bed. But without waiting, he sat on the bed next to me and openly assessed

my forehead. â€" Why are you so stubborn? He could have gotten hurt, leaving like that. She doesn't even look.

like she's a doctor. I looked at him, amazed. Is it serious that he's fghting with me? Wow, how beautiful it is!

I admired him, off camera. - You know me? - No! â€" he shook his head, taking my fle for himself and reading everything in it " Memory loss? - He asked me. I stared at him, trying to remember, but my last memories.

were still the same, of my dinner with the girls last night. " Not exactly " I corrected him â€" I remember having dinner with my friends last night and after that, I can't remember anything else, as if I was just blacked.

out and awake now. I showed him the bruises on my body and he smoothed one of them. â€" Doctor Salvani informed me that a certain Pedro brought me here â€" I read the name on his coat " could it be you? He was

still analyzing my bruises, carefully. â€" Yes, I found you. I sat up, pulling my arms back from his hands, moving.

away from his touch. " So, Fear shot up my spine, just from thinking the worst. â€" You were awake, without a purse or cell phone. And his clothes were intact, so I assume it was a robbery. But he hurt you! I shivered when his fnger touched my sore lips. â€" I can't remember anything. â€" I was honest, there was

nothing I could say. His weight on the mattress shifted, forcing me to lift my head and look at him. I'm going.

to ask you to stay, at least, for the next twenty-four hours here at the hospital, under observation. Tomorrow I can release you, so you can resolve all this â€" his attention returned to my fle, as he continued If you need

my statement, don't hesitate to come to my ofce and ask me. I will do what I can to help you fnd whoever did this to you. - Thanks. I waited for him to say something else, but he just turned his back on me and walked out

of the room, as quickly as he entered. That simple. - Wow that was fast. I stayed for a few more seconds.

staring at the door, hoping he would return. An assault like nothing, for me this is something from someone who had been after her for a long time. From what little I knew about the girl, I realized that she was very new here, she knew very few things and that she never went around alone. The residents who had dinner with her

here last night confrmed to me, they all went to the parking lot together, each with their own car. The security.

guard confrmed the same to me, no one had entered or left the hospital at that time, not even to escape.

My friend, everyone inside the hospital knows that that place in particular doesn't have security cameras. They dragged her with the worst of intentions. I looked at Alejandro, agreeing with everything he said. My friend is

right. â€" I'm sure of that, the hardest part now is fnding out who did it. I raised the glass again and he poured.

me another shot of whiskey, while we tried to fgure out who the attacker was. It's difcult, but not

impossible. He knocked on the table â€" I have a plan. I got up and went to him. - Which? I ignored the grimace he made as he looked at me. â€" Did you talk to the deputy today about what you saw? I nodded.

told her everything, especially what she had told me in private, before going to sleep and not remembering what happened. Very good, this is important. Okay, but what's your plan? â€" My plan is for us to send all these security images from the entire hospital for the investigation, and then we start our own. I looked at my

friend with pride. â€" That's a good idea. â€" I patted him on the shoulder, as a positive sign. - I told you.

smiled when he boasted â€" Do you happen to remember the time it all happened? I stopped again, trying to remember. Immediately the image of Jenny being admitted to the hospital with her boyfriend. I don't know

exactly the time, but there's a way to fnd out. It was right at the time that Jenny was admitted here. Myfriend's eyes widened Are you sure? â€" Yes, just look at the history. â Okay, that's also easy to solve, since you also checked in with her right away. True. " You're right, this should be included in her file.

cleared his throat â€" tell me something, about Jenny. Here it comes. I walked back to the couch, getting ready.

- What you want? His smile died. â€" I want to know how you are, with the fact that she is with someone now. â€"

I'm pretty calm, if you want to know. - Same? I nodded vehemently. â€" Indeed, it was obvious that we wanted different things. Jenny wanted a family, I wanted a casual fing, someone to have sex with. It worked for a while, but not anymore. I was honest, because even though I missed her, I needed to be honest with myself.

I'm not ready to commit to a relationship with someone or much less fll my apartment with babies. I don't.

even like visitors in my house, it's worse babies. Just thinking about the smell of dirty diapers around thehouse makes me sick. Wow, now you surprised me. What did you expect, that I would seek revenge? I denied It's not like me, I really want her to be happy with this guy. I got scared when Alejandro startedclapping in the middle of the ofce. â€" You didn't care. Idiot. " I called, and I have a lot of things to do " I got up and went to him, giving his shoulder a light squeeze â€" Don't forget to send the footage to the police chief.

It's important to fnd out who did this to the girl, all the women at the hospital are scared by what happened to Amanda. He became serious. â€" I know, I don't want that kind of shit here at the hospital. I will send the images today and start watching them. I walked to the door, while arranging my lab coat in place. " Send my

regards to Pillar. He smiled again, and I could see the sparkle in his eyes just at the mention of his wife's name. Can you let me do it, will it be okay? - I go. I turned the handle, willing to leave. " Oh, Pedro? I stopped.

on the way when my friend called. - Hey? â€" I looked at him. " About Amanda, check her, please. I need her to recover her memory as quickly as possible. I nodded nervously before closing the door and going to Amanda's room, checking on her as he asked. I stopped in the doorway of her room, when I noticed Juan's

presence inside it. Did they know each other? I was surprised to see
