Chapter 13.

Dr. Peralta.

Susan could immediately recognize a face in that operating room that seemed familiar to her, but that she could not describe as such, since he had a mask on his face and was completely in his clothes and his surgical attire, but if she remembered correctly, that man seemed to be Dr. Peralta, who had operated on her the last time when she tried to take her life just a couple of days ago. As soon as a nurse realized that the girl was awake, they put a mask on her face again and  sedated her immediately, in fact, the man was Dr. Peralta, who was a relative of Garrett's, which is why they were operating on her in one of the Manson family houses, however, the doctor had immediately recognized that girl as the one who had tried to commit suicide with a mirror held to her throat; now that Garrett was outside and she was here in the operating room, he understood why she had acted that way, maybe it wasn't that she was looking for death like a nurse had told her, but on the contrary, was trying to reach life through death: the idea was not so far-fetched, not if she believed in reincarnations, however, he had found out through a colleague at the morgue, that her dad and his wife had committed suicide with poison and the girl had inherited her father's debts for a stratospheric sum that no one wants to get involved with, much less when your lender is from the Manson family. In addition, it was known that in one way or another since old Brandon Manson had let his son collect from his debtors, the money was obtained no matter what it cost, no matter who lived or who died, and just thinking about it, Dr. Peralta felt chills, because his mother was a servant in the house of the Mansons from a very young age and had become pregnant by one of the old Manson's nephews, that man, who was his father, had not given him his last name, since he was the son of a lover and with lovers, you don't have children, because those children are a curse in the family, but old Brandon, taking charge of the situation, had sent him abroad to study and his mother would have to serve for the rest of her life as a simple servant in the family.

Already when the the boy graduated as a doctor of medicine, became the main doctor of the new generation of the Manson family, and it didn't matter where he was or what he was doing: if he was called urgently, he would have to stop everything he was doing to go to attend to the wounded or injured members of the Manson family, although this time it was not a family member whom he had to attend to, but rather a victim whom he had to keep alive until Garrett decided otherwise.
