—When the police arrived at the hospital, two officers went to the VIP patients' hospital room, where they met 4 bodyguards. When they saw them, they only saw each other. — "What a fool dared to insult a big shot from the Capital City, let's see who was the brave one and if he will get away with this" -
These agents headed towards the room that was pointed out to them by one of the bodyguards, who announced to them—"Mr. Marsans, the police are already here."
—Izan Marsans, motioned for them to pass, upon noticing who the police were dealing with, they only managed to think that the person who made this demon angry would not get out of the problem well, it was well known that this man did not leave anyone with head to anyone who offended him.
_" Mr. Marsans, what happened to you, it was you who called us" to which Esmeralda Santamarina, in a haughty and very pretentious way, told them. "It was me"
—Izan Marsans, with a face of real annoyance, motioned towards that woman, so the police officers went to where Esmeralda Santamarina was, showing a truly deplorable appearance.
— After Amaranta hit her, her face swelled, and her hair now looked even more dishevelled, the makeup showed her face battered by the years, she was no longer that woman belonging to a rich family and a circle of important social.
— The police took note of her statement.
— Izan Marsans reassured Amaranta. —"Nothing will happen, you are with me, everything will be fine" while she took care of her hands and at the same time caressed her hair.
— When the police finished collecting Esmeralda Santamarina's statement, she noticed that they were not taking Amaranta's statement or doing anything to stop her, which is why she immediately complained.
— "What problem do you have, why don't you stop that starving village girl who beat me? What are you waiting for to do it?"
— These words ended up making Izan Marsans even more angry.- "Take her now."
— "How dare they arrest me, since they don't know who my family is, they will find out, why are they arresting me and not the person who attacked me, that brat? "Let me go"
— Izan Marsans only responded. — "If you want me to know who your family is, get ready, we'll see you in court."
At that moment, Esmeralda remembered how influential Izan Marsans was. However, she refused to leave without a fight.
—"Are you threatening me? I'm not afraid of you! See you in court then!" Esmeralda Santamarina exclaimed.
"I will definitely hire the best lawyer in town and make Amaranta pay for her actions!" she planned.
— Izan Marsans then led Amaranta out of the reception room. Esmeralda Santamarina was outraged, and she wanted to chase them. Unfortunately, her bodyguards would absolutely block her. No one could get past those guards.
— The officers exchanged a knowing look, but not before telling Esmeralda.- "Madam, don't bother Young Marsans any more, you won't win anything against him," they shook their heads and left. From what they had heard, it seemed that Esmeralda Santamarina was the one who started the commotion. Amaranta's grandmother was still in critical condition. She was in the hospital's ICU. If they were in Amaranta's shoes, they would have beaten her too for spitting nonsense. As Young Master Marsans was very protective of Amaranta, it would be a miracle if Esmeralda managed to get some peace after her actions.
The more Esmeralda thought about how she had failed to get anything out of the situation, the angrier she became. "I've never felt so angry before," she fumed as she searched for her cell phone in her purse. She then called her husband. "My dear, I've been hit!" she moaned.
Javier Santamarina tried to pacify her and then told her to wait for him to pick her up.
After Esmeralda hung up, she reflected on what happened and called one of her friends. This particular friend was now the head nurse at the hospital where Amaranta's grandmother was currently admitted. Her friend then passed her by and took her to the ICU.
"Esmeralda, I really have to go. I have a meeting. Don't stay here for too long. Don't touch anything. It will be difficult for me to explain to my superiors if something goes wrong."
Esmeralda Santamarina nodded and replied, "I know. Don't worry. I'll just pay the old lady a visit."
Dressed in a hazmat suit, Esmeralda opened the door and approached where Amaranta's grandmother was. As she was completely covered from head to toe, she was sure that no one would be able to recognize her through the CCTV. As she looked at the oxygen mask in the old woman's mouth, an idea occurred to her.
She moved silently, reaching for the oxygen mask and then removing it. She then turned off the medical device that indicated changes in the patient's vital sign status. Shortly after.
Esmeralda laughed in an evil, almost macabre way.
"Don't blame me. I'm the victim here, you see… You only have yourself to blame for doing a poor job raising your daughter. She seduced my husband, and even after a decade had passed, I still wanted her. The granddaughter you raised is also wild and rude! You have cancer, and you will suffer if you continue living anyway, so consider this as mercy, I am freeing you from pain, Esmeralda thought, she was considering herself a mercy. Angel of death!
After Esmeralda left the room, she only got rid of all the medical clothing she had used to enter the ICU room — "Amaranta, you were so arrogant and disrespectful to me. Let's see if you can maintain that haughty attitude when you receive the news." of your grandmother's death "Esmeralda, with her lips formed in an evil smile. She then took out a bottle of perfume from her purse, sprayed some into the air, and turned.
"As expected, the perfume smells great! It certainly beats the stench of the disinfectant in the hospital," she commented.
Less than five minutes after Esmeralda left, the intensive care unit nurse discovered something was wrong and set off an alarm in the room.
At the same time, Amaranta received a call, informing her that something had happened to her grandmother.
Fear gripped Amaranta's heart, fearing the worst, thinking that the past would be repeated, that nothing he had achieved until now would work, everything would be in vain, her grandmother would die again like in her past life.
She would be left alone again, with no one to help her cope with that heavy burden called life.
