Out of love, Lucía obeyed.
For two years, she never crossed that door.
Enrique, the trusted private nurse, was always there to care for Don Rafael.
Until one day, Daniel had to leave the state on a three-day business trip.
On the second day, Lucía received a message:
“Mrs. Lucía, I’m very sorry… I had a motorcycle accident and I’m in the hospital. I won’t be able to come today or tomorrow to care for Don Rafael.”
Lucía’s heart froze.
She ran to her father-in-law’s room.
When she opened the door, the smell hit her immediately.
Don Rafael was dirty, uncomfortable, and clearly distressed.
His eyes looked at her desperately, begging for help.
— My God… Lucía whispered through tears. I can’t leave him like this…
She knew Daniel would be angry, but she chose to act from her heart.
She prepared warm water.
Clean towels.
Fresh clothes.
She approached him gently.
— Don’t worry, sir… I’m here. No one should have to go through this alone.
