His hand shook… but he didn’t hesitate.
BAM!
A sharp blow to the back.
“YOU’RE GOING TO KILL HIM!” shouted a doctor.
Mateo didn’t stop.
BAM!
Another.
Nothing.
The monitor stayed the same.
The line… flat.
The air became unbearable.
Camila cried without looking.
The doctors shook their heads.
—It’s useless…
But Mateo gritted his teeth.
—Come on… little one… come on…
He returned his hand to the exact spot.
Below the ear.
Where no one had looked.
He pressed.
He felt something.
Hard.
Little.
Stuck.
“Here you are…” he whispered.
He adjusted his hand.
He took a deep breath.
And he struck once more.
BAM!
Silence.
One second.
