"Adrianna, you incited Osvaldo and Shania to call me a homewrecker and insult me. And now, you're lying to kill my precious pet. What have I ever done to you for you to hate me so much?"
With tears falling from Carina's eyes, any wavering resolve Edgar had vanished, and he fully sided with her.
Seeing that they were about to leave...
I knew I could not waste any more time. In front of the crowded hallway, I slapped my face hard.
"I am sorry! It's all my fault. I will take all the blame! Please, just save my children. Give me the medicine!"
Tears mixed with the blood from my lips, bitter and nauseating.
"You're still lying! Osvaldo and Shania had recovered. How could they possibly have had heart attacks from sitting in the sun for a bit? You're just trying to make a scene and embarrass me in front of so many people."
Onlookers in the hallway were all looking at us curiously.
I endured the humiliation and discarded my dignity, but all I got in return was Edgar's look of disgust.
"It seems you still haven't learned your lesson. From now on, stay away from the children and reflect on your behavior at home. I don't want you leading them astray."
