“You dare to shout at me?” Lucia was furious.
“So what? Why can’t I shout? Are you some ancient Greek goddess that controls our vocal cords?” I yelled back.
“You... You!” Lucia was so angry she couldn’t speak.
“WAHAHAHAHA!” Amelia burst out laughing, holding her stomach and stomping the floor. “'A Greek goddess that controls vocal cords’, how did you even get to that?!”
“Mateo, this isn’t over!” Lucia looked at me with total disgust. “Get out! I don’t want to see you right now!”
“Don’t be angry, honey. I heard if you get too angry, it can mess with your period cycle.” I pretended to be very worried.
“Get out!” Lucia screamed.
I glared at her for three seconds, before shouting back, “Fine! I’ll leave!”
Then, I left the hospital with Amelia.

“That old bastard was supposed to be abroad. Why is he back?” I whispered.
