Pedro looked shocked by Anna’s words. "Anna!" he shouted, unable to believe what he had just heard. The woman who had once always been gentle was now a thorn in his heart.
Richa pretended to be in pain. "Ah... What are you doing, Anna? You’re hurting Pedro. Is it because you have another man now? Is that why you’re acting like this? You’re so cruel, Anna," Richa said, her face contorting as though she were the victim.
Anna felt her heart ache even more hearing Richa’s words. "Miss, Richa knows everything. Don’t be manipulative!" she cried out, losing her patience. Without thinking, she approached Richa, cornering her. But just as their gazes shifted to Pedro and Gabriel, Richa slyly fell, as if Anna had pushed her.
"Anna, you’ve gone too far!" Pedro yelled, glaring at her with fury. "You hurt Richa! I won’t forgive you if anything happens to her!"
Anna stood frozen, unable to believe what had just occurred. She had done nothing, but everything was turned around. Richa had cleverly orchestrated the situation, making it look like Anna was at fault.
"I didn’t do anything. She fell on her own," Anna said, her voice trembling, her heart breaking. Gabriel embraced her, trying to comfort her, but Anna still felt anxious and confused.
Meanwhile, in the examination room, Richa was still lying there, groaning weakly. Pedro, with great care, tried to comfort her. "Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?" he asked, worried.
Richa looked at him with hopeful eyes, "I’m scared, Pedro. I have no one else but you."
Pedro sighed, feeling guilty for the way Anna had made Richa’s condition worse. "I’ll always be here for you, Richa," he promised, though his heart was in turmoil. His mind couldn't let go of one thought—who was the man who was with Anna? What had really happened between them?
After Richa fell asleep, Pedro went to see the head doctor to ask more about Anna.
"She’s pregnant, and the man who’s been with her has always been there for her, especially when she went through a critical time a few days ago," the doctor explained, revealing an unexpected detail.
"What?!" Pedro was stunned. His heart was filled with anger and confusion. Could it be his child? Or had Anna betrayed him with another man? All these questions gnawed at his mind. This pregnancy, this secret she had kept hidden, now made everything even more complicated.
