Chapter 73

Pablo's POV

"You can leave it," Ramirez said in a hoarse tone. "I'm already traumatized enough to want to at least go to this side of the city. I will spend a lot of time on the beach, or with my daughter, or my wife. I want to recognize the world, because I don't even remember what it looks like, outside these walls. And someday, I hope that very soon, you can be with me in those moments too, brother. I will be praying for you every day and night until God works a miracle in your life. Thank you very much for everything. I'm going to say goodbye much earlier, because, as I said, anything can happen overnight.”

And Joana has every right not to want to see my face painted gold again. I will respect her absence, if that is the case.
