Knowing that Pedro cared about Kathryn, Clarissa reassured him, "Don't worry, this medicine won't harm her. It will just make her sleep for a few days. Even when she wakes up, she'll be weak for a week or two. I would never harm my only daughter."
Pedro took the packet of powder, slipped it into his pocket, and said to Clarissa, "Madam, I've taken the medicine, but I can't guarantee the young lady will take it."
Clarissa had already decided that if Pedro didn't do it, she would find someone else to drug Kathryn. But Pedro planned to have the medicine tested first to understand what it was, so Kathryn could be more cautious.

After a pause, Clarissa said, "It doesn't matter what she thinks. I just want to get her out of here."
"Pedro, for Kathryn's sake, we must be on the spage this time. We're doing this for her."
Pedro wanted to argue was this really for Kathryn's sake? Did Kathryn want this? But he held his tongue.
Clarissa added, "Don't tell Kathryn about the medicine."
Pedro responded, "I'm someone she trusts. I can't keep secrets from her."
Clarissa replied firmly, "Sometimes it's necessary to keep things from her. There are lies, and then there are lies told for the right reasons. It's okay to tell a good lie once in a while. Even if Kathryn gets mad at you, it won't last. She's smart and will understand my intentions as her mother."
Pedro warned, "If you're fine, she'll only be angry for a short time. But if something goes wrong, this could cbetween us for the rest of our lives."
Clarissa hesitated. No matter what, she and Kathryn were mother and daughter. Kathryn might not have strong feelings for her, but there was still a bond between them. Blood ties create a natural closeness. Content belongs to Drama.Org

Clarissa laughed bitterly, "Does she really care about me? If she did, she wouldn't have betrayed me. If she hadn't, I might have gotten rid of the big problem weighing on my mind."
Pedro remained silent for a moment before asking, "Can you be sure your plan will succeed? The young lady is acting out of a sense of duty, out of respect for you. She's trying to make up for your mistakes." Content belongs to Drama.Org
Clarissa couldn't find the words to respond. Her daughter's actions were honorable, even if they went against her wishes. In Pedro's eyes, Kathryn's actions were a form of atonement, something that made her a good daughter. Content belongs to Drama.OrgC0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Clarissa finally said, "You should go. Remember what I told you—I'm trusting you with my only daughter. No matter what happens, you must protect Kathryn and make sure she doesn't suffer."
Pedro replied, "I'll protect the young lady with my life if I have to."
