Miguel needed to think strategically, a skill he had honed during his military service. He understood that confronting Ricardo directly might only exacerbate the situation for Camila and baby Leonardo. He knew he had to be tactful, precise, and discreet to ensure their safety first.

With a heavy heart, Miguel made his way down the hospital corridor, his mind working quickly. He needed allies, and he knew just where to start. He approached Nurse Sofía, who was now standing outside the room, visibly shaken by the incident.

“Nurse,” Miguel addressed her softly, “thank you for intervening back there. I’m Miguel Mendoza, Ricardo’s father. I’m sorry you had to witness that.”Sofía looked at Miguel, relief washing over her face. “I’m glad you were there to see it too. Camila needs help, but she’s too afraid to speak up.”
