Kabanata 20 El Filibusterismo Buod

El chico que me gustaba en secreto y su padre fueron envenenados con afrodisíaco. Por lo que, sin dudarlo, me desvestí para ayudar a su padre a eliminar el veneno. En mi vida pasada, fui obligada a convertirme en el antídoto del chico, dándole un hijo. Pero él nunca regresaba a casa, guardando su «pureza» para su amada inalcanzable. En el quinto año de matrimonio, me descuartizó junto a nuestro hijo y enterró nuestros restos en el jardín de granadas de su amada, como fertilizante. Él estaba convencido de que yo, con malas intenciones, había preparado el afrodisíaco para pasar una noche con él, arruinando su oportunidad de estar con su verdadero amor, quien finalmente se suicidó lejos de casa. Al despertar, descubrí que había vuelto al momento en que habían sido envenenados y, esta vez, elegí convertirme en su… ¡madrastra!

Cuando fui al hospital para verificar si el cuarto intento de fertilización in vitro había sido exitoso, vi a Francisco Gutiérrez —quien supuestamente estaba de viaje de negocios— ayudando cuidadosamente a una joven y hermosa chica a salir del sección de ginecología y obstetricia. La chica tenía el vientre tan abultado que parecía estar a punto de dar a luz. Francisco solo se desconcertó por un instante, antes de proteger a la chica detrás de él. —Laura, nuestra familia necesita un hijo para continuar el linaje. Cuando nazca el bebé, volveremos a ser como antes. Escuché claramente la determinación en su voz, y le sonreí diciendo que estaba bien. Ante su mirada sorprendida, guardé silenciosamente mis resultados médicos. El día que la chica dio a luz, dejé un acuerdo de divorcio y me alejé de él para siempre.
