Chapter 16:
Harmony Hospital:
"Bad news about my health? Eve whats wrong with me?" Pilar said sitting down.
"Pilar we ran some tests on you earlier this week. Um.... I don't exactly know how to say this but Pilar I think you might have cancer."
"Cancer?"
"Yes. I'm so sorry. But since we have found this early your chances of survival are greater."
"Still.... but Breast cancer is one of the most dangerous!"
"Breast cancer? Pilar how did you know?"
"Well, I found a lump on my breast while I was in the shower."
"Pilar you should of told me!"
"I'm so sorry but all I wanted to do was ignore it! I was terrified Eve!"
"Pilar, if you ever spot something on your body or anywhere that could be dangerous you must let a doctor know!"
Pilar starts crying.
"Oh God Pilar I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you."
"No it's not that Eve. It's my Terrisita! How's she going to handle the news. Ethan raped her and now she's pregnant and doesn't know who the father is."
"Pilar I'll get you some counselling if you need it."
"I won't need it. My family will."
Theresa's hospital room:
"Please wake up Resa. I love you!"
"Fox? Is that you?" Theresa said waking up.
"Theresa! Yes it's me. I love you. I won't leave you! I promise!"
"I love you too."
"Theresa are you pregnant?"
"Pregnant? No Fox. Of course not!"
"I heard you talking in your sleep. You were begging Ethan not to take your son away from you."
Theresa sits up and stares at him shocked.
"It was just a dream Fox!"
"Yeah I guess it was."
"Where's mama?"
"I don't know sweetie. Just rest okay?"
"Yep."
"I'm going to go and get a drink alright?"
"Sure. I'll be fine."
Fox leaves to get a drink.
"Oh God. How can I tell Fox that I'm pregnant? I just lied to him! Oh why do I always repeat the same mistakes!"
"I'll tell you why Theresa! Your a filthy, lying bitch!"
Theresa stared at the doorway and saw a furious Gwen standing there frowning at Theresa.
Eve's office:
"Pilar, you must stay in hospital. It's urgent!"
"No I refuse. My family need's me.I shall never abandon my family. Not the way Martin did."
"You don't know if Martin-"
"He left us Eve! When I phoned my Paloma the other day Martin answered the phone!"
"You know that could just be Paloma's boyfriend or-"
"No it was Martin. He never said goodbye. He's in Mexico and won't return."
"Pilar have you told anyone this?"
"No. I can't tell Luis, nor Theresa, not Miguel he's too young too understand."
"What if Martin returns to Harmony one day?"
"Then I shall never forgive him!"
"Pilar that's not like you!"
"I know Eve. But Martin betrayed me, and his family!"
