Still feeling the suffocating cold running through her, Diana took a deep breath and started talking about her memories of Hugo and the amulet, about how Hector had the same object in his possession and that he didn't seem to remember where he got it from, or didn't have a clue about her suspicion.
-So basically, do you think that Hugo somehow survived the day his family and his were slaughtered and he has now become Hector?
- Yeah, that. It's possible? - she said, trying to control her hope.
- It's possible - said Marcos, after a long thoughtful time and letting out a sigh. Was it Diana's impression or did he look worried? - We will only be sure of your suspicions if we take a look at his mind. I have to say that this is somewhat dangerous. If something goes wrong, he is in danger of losing his sanity - He said, serious.
Diana felt the weight of Marcos' words to fall on her shoulders. How she wanted to hold on to the possibility that her friend was alive and well! But risk someone's sanity in the process? As tempted as she was, she couldn't put Hector's mind at risk just because of a hopeful suspicion. Surely she couldn't do that.
- Everything is ready. We can leave at any moment - Hector's voice sounded suddenly on the other side of the door, which surprised both Marcos and Diana. Did he hear everything she had told Marcos? Just thinking about that possibility, made a drop of cold sweat run down her spine.
- Okay, Hector, thanks for the warning! - replied Marcos, pretending a certain composure - Just a moment, we will meet you in the garden in an instant.
-Now listen to me carefully, Diana - said her tutor, as soon as they heard Hector's footsteps moving away. - As much as you have these suspicions, don't trust Hector until he proves himself to be trustworthy. Don't trust or let your guard down near these guys. We don't know their real intentions or who they work for - continued Marcos sharply.
