Carmen is upset at having to go to the cafeteria chosen by Josias. Crossing the avenue near the school reminds her of the accident and her dear sister lying on a hospital bed with a cast on her leg. For a moment Carmen thought she was not going to survive! She could be forever paralyzed! But, worst of all, she had lost a baby that was barely past the embryonic stage! Did it affect her uterus? Will Pamela return to having children?

She hopes Pamela finds out much later, with her husband, and not with Josias!

The cafeteria was commonly frequented by the school's students, which makes Carmen more melancholy....
