Three days later, Anna, Trisha and Oscar stood by the registry as the lady behind the counter checked them out of the hospital.
Since Trisha arrived, she had refused to leave Anna's side, sticking to her like a cloaca would to a tree which made Oscar suspicious.
He dare not leave their side for any reason whatsoever fearing that Trisha would reveal his plot against Carlos. Instead, when Anna sends him on an errand, he makes sure to drag Trisha along.
Twice it had happened and now, Anna decided to check for the third time, wondering whether the two of them had suddenly bonded.
"Oscar, I want you to go get me something from the grocery store."
Oscar smiled, swiping out his card. "Give me a list."
He stepped out of the car and pulled Trisha by the collar of her dress — again, causing Trisha's eyes to widen in shock.
She turned, "how dare you?"
SLAP!
Oscar was shocked that he had been slapped. Although there was no pain, the humiliation stung hard.
