Cure-all, Chapter 22
Helena was due back in the next couple of days. Tina had insisted that she needed to see her soon. That it was important. Their phone call had once again been cut short because of some urgent meeting, but Helena had promised her that they would take the time to talk when she got back.
She was restless and she didn’t seem to be able to put her mind at rest…
The only thing that would bring her peace was to bury herself into the Rosita’s handbook, as if it was some sacred book. She would study it with captivated attention, imagining that behind the description of the tango’s steps and techniques were hidden secret messages from Bette.
She was restless and she knew the exact reason why.
A reason with mesmerizing eyes and a breathtaking smile, and who was risking her life thousands of miles away from her.
And there was nothing she could do about it…
——————————————————————————————
Everyday, trucks filled with new infected people kept coming to the lazaretto. And very soon, the inevitable lack of time and medical supplies forced Bette to go through the painful ordeal of choosing between those who were definitely condemned and those who still had a chance.
‘Yes’… ‘No’…
She was playing God with just a whispered word and that was killing her… She knew it was their only chance to save a few but it didn’t make it any less awful.
She could never bring herself to make this choice with children though. It would have been too much for her, and she couldn’t even bear the thought of it. With children, she could never give up… She would cover them with care and love, and would keep the hope alive until their last breath.
One morning, she was just finishing one of her daily briefings with the nurses, mainly reiterating some essential hygiene instructions and precautions that they should be aware of at all times and before attending to every new sick person. Suddenly, they heard yet another truck approach and stop in front of the church. Bette instructed to the nurses to go and help with the new cases, while she headed to the storage room where she knew she would need to retrieve more medical supplies. She was just exiting the room carrying a large box when a more than familiar voice reached her ears.
