[2] Alejandra Martínez is a beautiful and intelligent young woman who has dedicated her life to the medical profession in order to rise above her humble origins.
After a year of medical internship and social work in the rural areas of her country, Alejandra returns to her neighborhood in Caracas where she gets a job at a local hospital.
Everyone at the hospital, including Alejandro, respect Alejandra, except for Luis Jose Báez, a medical intern from Argentina who is macho and a womanizer.
Obsessed with the fear that Luis José will abandon her because she is older than him, she has spent years playing with his emotions making him believe he is to blame for the death of their son although she was the one who provoked an abortion.
Morela always knew about Alejandra's existence, but never told her husband so that he could pay more attention to their daughter Alicia, a repressed child who ends up falling into alcoholism.
