anticipation waiting for the right donor for Rosaura's sister, Karina,
who has a deadly disease and is about to die. Calidad, the house maid
to the Arizmendis, has been run over by Eduarda, yet everyone only has
suspicions that it was her. There are still many secrets that must be
revealed, including the fact that Camelia, Patricio's lover, is
actually Patricio's wife, therefore making it as though the marriage
between he and Rosaura never happened. Also, it still needs to be
