Chapter 141 — The Power of Truth After the official launch of the Light to See Again Foundation, life began to settle into a different rhythm. Sofía had agreed to become the foundation’s director, but she asked Isabel for help because she knew she couldn’t handle everything alone. From the very beginning, though, she made one thing clear: she didn’t want the position to take her away from what she loved most—her patients, her consultations, and her surgeries. The mobile clinic still wasn’t part of her daily routine. Other doctors were handling the outreach trips for now. Ayden still needed her too much for her to spend long periods away from home. But she already dreamed about the day she would finally join them. Ayden Castell Rojas was growing strong and beautiful, a whirlwind of laughter and babbling. His health was perfect. The blood incompatibility that had terrified them so deeply had left no lasting damage, and the nightmare of the false diagnoses was finally behind them.

Chapter 143 — The Shadow Over the LightThe morning had started peacefully at the Light to See Again Foundation. Outside, sunlight bathed the building’s façade in gold, while inside, the hallways echoed with the warm murmur of children and teenagers waiting for their routine checkups.But everything changed the moment Gabriel walked in holding his mother’s hand.“Dr. Sofía…” his mother said, her voice trembling. “Gabi’s eye turned red last night, and this morning it looked even worse.”Sofía, dressed in her white coat with her hair pulled into a messy bun, welcomed them into her office with a reassuring smile that hid the knot tightening in her chest. Gabriel looked at her through his blue glasses, trying to smile, but the redness in his eye immediately set off alarms in her mind.Adrián, who had accompanied Sofía to the foundation that morning to meet with his mother—who was helping oversee the organization—leaned down and gently ruffled the boy’s hair.“Don’t worry, champ,” he said

Chapter 145 — The Surrender of Body and SoulThe house was quiet at last.Isabel and Fabián had left early, taking with them the memory of a warm dinner that seemed to seal the peace that had come after so many storms. Lili and Guillermo had gone home as well, with Julia half-asleep in her father’s arms, and Ayden rested peacefully in his crib, sleeping with the deep calm of a baby who knew he was loved and protected.The silence felt like a gift.The home that had so often echoed with worried voices and sleepless nights was now wrapped in a soothing stillness: the faint ticking of the clock, the soft rhythm of the baby’s breathing from the next room, and the gentle flicker of the candles Adrián had lit in the dining room.They finally had a few hours alone.And Adrián had no intention of wasting them.On the table were the remnants of the intimate evening he had carefully prepared: two half-finished glasses of wine, a plate of chocolate-covered strawberries, and a single red rose res

Chapter 147 — Ayden’s First Birthday Isabel and Fabián’s home was filled with color and laughter that Sunday in September. The spacious, tree-lined backyard had been transformed into a magical little world with sky-blue and white balloons, sparkling garlands, streamers moving in the breeze, and a dessert table that looked as if it had come straight out of a fairy tale. That day, there were no diagnoses, no shadows, no fear waiting in the corners. Only one certainty mattered. Ayden had reached his first birthday healthy, strong, and surrounded by love. Valente, the family dog, ran happily among the children, letting them hug him, pet him, and chase him around the yard as if he understood this was a day worth celebrating. Julia laughed as she followed him with the other kids, a bag of cotton candy in one hand and her curls bouncing with every step. She acted almost like Ayden’s big sister, watching over him proudly and showing him off to anyone who came close. The Martínez Montes

Chapter 149 — When the Wait Seems Endless The car braked at the hospital entrance with a sudden urgency that didn’t quite cross the line into recklessness. Even with his heart racing, Guillermo continued to drive like the doctor he was: a man used to keeping his cool in emergencies. Julia jumped out of the back seat with the hospital bag in hand, while Lili, between gasps and complaints, tried to get out. “No, no!” she cried when she felt the first strong contraction hit her right there on the sidewalk. “Not yet, not yet! Inside, quick!” Guillermo held her by the waist, helping her walk, and together they entered the clinic’s lobby. The receptionist, a woman in her fifties with glasses too small for her face, looked up from the monitor. “Good afternoon?” she greeted them, with the routine tone of someone expecting a normal appointment. “Good afternoon, nothing!” Lili roared, bending forward. “This baby is trying to get out right now!” The receptionist’s eyes widened in s
