\u2014 Domnule Popescu, a\u021bi avut ghinion, a spus calm Radu St\u0103nescu. Dar poate nu a\u021bi pierdut chiar tot.<\/p>\n
Marian l-a privit cu ochii goi. Nu mai avea nimic. Nici bani, nici speran\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ce vre\u021bi s\u0103 spune\u021bi? a murmurat.<\/p>\n
Radu a f\u0103cut un semn discret. Doi b\u0103rba\u021bi au \u00eenchis u\u0219a salonului privat.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218tiu de ce a\u021bi venit aici. \u0218tiu ce se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 cu fiul dumneavoastr\u0103. \u0218i \u0219tiu \u0219i cum func\u021bioneaz\u0103 Spitalul \u201eSf\u00e2ntul Spiridon\u201d.<\/p>\n
Marian a sim\u021bit un nod \u00een g\u00e2t.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu \u00een\u021beleg\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2014 Ba \u00een\u021belege\u021bi. Doctorul \u201especialist\u201d cerut nu e singurul. Onorariul acela umflat e \u00eemp\u0103r\u021bit. Directorul, \u0219eful de sec\u021bie, medicul. O re\u021bea \u00eentreag\u0103. \u0218i nu e prima dat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Marian a str\u00e2ns pumnii.<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u0218i ce leg\u0103tur\u0103 am eu cu asta?<\/p>\n
\u2014 Am nevoie de un martor. De cineva cunoscut. Curat. Un om pe care lumea \u00eel crede. Dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n
T\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 accepta\u021bi, pl\u0103tesc eu opera\u021bia copilului. Toat\u0103 suma. Acum. \u00cen schimb, m\u00e2ine diminea\u021b\u0103 veni\u021bi cu mine la procuratur\u0103.<\/p>\n
Inima lui Marian b\u0103tea s\u0103-i sparg\u0103 pieptul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dac\u0103 refuz?<\/p>\n
Radu a ridicat din umeri.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Atunci ie\u0219i\u021bi pe u\u0219\u0103. \u0218i Dumnezeu s\u0103 aib\u0103 grij\u0103 de b\u0103iat.<\/p>\n
Marian s-a g\u00e2ndit la Mih\u0103i\u021b\u0103. La m\u00e2inile lui mici. La r\u00e2sul lui. La promisiunea c\u0103-l va duce la pescuit.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Accept.<\/p>\n
La 6:10 diminea\u021ba, un curier a ajuns la spital cu banii.
Opera\u021bia a \u00eenceput imediat.<\/p>\n
Marian a stat pe hol, cu fruntea lipit\u0103 de perete. Elena pl\u00e2ngea \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n
Orele treceau greu.<\/p>\n
La 8:47, u\u0219a s-a deschis.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Opera\u021bia a reu\u0219it, a spus doctorul, evit\u00e2ndu-i privirea.<\/p>\n
Marian s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe un scaun. Tr\u0103ia.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2ni mai t\u00e2rziu, Rom\u00e2nia era zguduit\u0103.
Arest\u0103ri. Anchete. Demiteri.<\/p>\n
Directorul spitalului.
Trei medici.
Un inspector de la Minister.<\/p>\n
Totul pornise de la o noapte, o mas\u0103 de poker \u0219i un tat\u0103 care nu mai avea nimic de pierdut.<\/p>\n
Mih\u0103i\u021b\u0103 s-a \u00eentors acas\u0103.
Via\u021ba a mers mai departe.<\/p>\n
Dar Marian a \u0219tiut un lucru clar:
uneori, curajul nu \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 c\u00e2\u0219tigi,
ci s\u0103 spui \u201edestul\u201d atunci c\u00e2nd to\u021bi ceilal\u021bi tac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
