Plot

edit

María Clara González (Diana Hoyos) works as the head of nurses in one of the most recognized hospitals in the city: the Santa Rosa. Life would seem to smile at her were it not for the monotony into which her marriage with Román has fallen, with whom she has two children. On the day of her anniversary, María Clara makes the decision to win her husband back and reserves a hotel room to spend the night with him. However, Román suffers a heart attack at the scene and is transferred to an emergency to receive medical help. María Clara spends the night at his side. The next day, a woman named Paula arrives, accompanied by her young son, and tells the nurse that it is Román's first-born son. From there, Maria Clara becomes increasingly disillusioned with her husband, to the point of planning their divorce.

On the other hand, a young resident of internal medicine arrives at the hospital, Dr. Carlos Pérez (Sebastián Carvajal), who immediately has a special connection with María Clara, later becoming more than a friend. However, their relationship will be clouded by multiple obstacles, when Maritza and Valeriano, Carlos's wife and father, respectively, find out what happens between them. In addition, María Clara's enmity with boss Gloria, her children's opposition to her new love, the turbulent business that occurs within the hospital on behalf of Manuel Castro (Lucho Velasco), its scientific director, and the appearance of a new person in Dr. Pérez's life will make their lives take different directions.
