Miguel Mendoza had come to the hospital with the intention of seeing his first grandchild, a moment that should have been filled with pride and joy. But instead, he had been met with a reality that shattered his expectations. The image of his son, Ricardo, striking his wife had not only shocked him but ignited a deep-seated anger and disappointment. He remained unnoticed in the hallway, his presence hidden by the glare on the glass door, but his mind was already racing with thoughts of how to address this grave injustice.
As a retired sergeant, Miguel had always held himself to the highest standards of discipline and integrity. He had served his country with honor and had instilled the same values in his children. Or so he thought. Seeing Ricardo’s actions left a bitter taste in his mouth. How had his son strayed so far from the principles he had tried to teach him?
Determined to act, Miguel waited patiently for the right moment. He knew confronting Ricardo in a fit of rage would accomplish nothing. Instead, he needed a plan—a way to ensure that Camila and his grandson were safe and that Ricardo faced the consequences of his actions.
