Mom, is that you? Mom, come here, please come here, Mom, come here. Lucia, forgive me. Lucia, come here. What are you doing there? Oh my God, what happened to you? Mom, tell me what happened to you and those clothes. And things changed, honey. Things changed. No, no, nothing is right. Tell me what you’re doing in the garbage dump. I’ll send you money. I just went out for a walk looking for food.
Seriously, are you hungry? It can’t be. She always shows up at the worst possible moment. A little. Where’s Elena? Why does Elena let you be in places like this? I can’t let her ruin my plant. I don’t know anything about Elena. I don’t know anything about your sister. Lucia, when did you get here, sister? Well, I just got here. Did you know Mom was in the garbage dump, Elena? Oh, Lucia, Mom isn’t well.
She’s always creating episodes, doing this kind of thing, and you can’t imagine everything that’s happened. What episodes? Well, she goes out on her own, she’s always creating things, and she says someone is going to hurt her. No, I don’t know. You know, I just do what I can. But how could you let her go out and be in that condition? Look at her, sister. I was cooking for her.
Yes, I’m always looking out for her, but well, it’s good that you’re here. Now we’re all going to take care of her, and I know we’ll be more attentive to her. Yes, I’m here to take care of her too, but I don’t want this to happen again. Mom, why are you crying? Look at her. She’s kind of traumatized. Yes, yes.
Go, take her home, that’s what she needs. Let’s go. Oh, really, it’s so good that you’re here, sister. It’s a big surprise. A big surprise. Ah, how different everything is. It’s incredible. What were you saying? That everything is very different. Yes, well, I do what I can. And well, what’s up, little sister? Would you like something? A coffee? Your favorite strawberry juice? No, I’m not well, I’m tired, honestly. It’s been a long flight.
Well, since you’re so tired, why don’t you go to your room and rest for a bit? Mom, are you okay? Are you trembling? I’m fine, honey, don’t worry. Lucía, Mom is fine, and if it’s any consolation, she’s much better than she was the other day. Much better. Yes, I mean, she was worse there. Oh, Lucía, you have no idea what was going on.
Well, I’m going up to my room, I want to take this off. Yes, go ahead. You’re home. I’ll be right back. See? See what happens when you’re acting crazy? Don’t stay quiet, say something. I’m fine. I’m not going to say anything. My love, my darling, it’s so good to see you. What are you doing here? Grisill, I’m here. I came from the airport. Surprise. Well, what a surprise, really.
You don’t know if it’s surprising, my love. Yes, yes. I always catch you off guard. Yes, always. How many times have I told you not to go out? But here I feel trapped. Trapped. After everything I give you, do you know you’re ungrateful? Can you imagine, I saw my mom outside near the garbage dump? Did you know anything about her? My love, my love, I didn’t want to tell you, but your mom has some kind of senile dementia, and it seems your sister lost track of her.
How long has she been like this? For a while now. I don’t remember exactly when because it’s been so painful I don’t even remember. I only know that it hasn’t been easy, but my love, you’re here, you’ll be able to help her, and I imagine you’ve already had a neurology report or something like that. Yes, but there are things I don’t understand, Rodrigo.
There are things I don’t understand. I’m trying to piece everything together. But I know someone with dementia, with problems, and my mom isn’t like that. That’s all you are, and you’d better not say a word, Lucía. No, because if you do, you know what could happen, right? And I imagine you don’t want that to happen.
I’m also a doctor, and I don’t think my mom is that bad. Something’s going on here, but I don’t know, my love. Look, I know you’re a doctor, but it could also be that you just got here and you’re a little tired, you saw that, and the shock also affected you. Why don’t you rest? I’m getting a massage right now, and I’m so glad to see you, really. Okay, fine. I’m going to take this off.
Okay. And I’m going out. Yes. I love you. Oh, well, very good, Ana, very good. So you know, keep quiet, stay calm, and stop acting like a crazy person, even though that’s what you are. Did you know Lucía was coming? Of course I didn’t. If I had known, I would have done something, wouldn’t I? Well, you’d better, because she can’t find out anything unless we’re dead.
Don’t worry, my love, she won’t notice anything unless your mom decides to talk. You’re more scared than my mom. She won’t say a word. Oh, right. Look, she ran into your mom, there she is, and she might talk and ruin everything. Just shut up. She’ll be ruined.
Everything will go exactly as we agreed, and we’re both making sure of that. Yes. Very well. But why do you have to tell me this news?
