Ángela Character Analysis

Ángela is the nurse at hospital in San Pedro Sula where Soledad and Rebeca’s father Elmer is being cared for (Elmer was attacked on the street by either Iván or one of his men shortly after Soledad and Rebeca left Honduras). When Soledad and Rebeca call the hospital to ask about their father, Ángela warns them never to return to Honduras again. A week or so later, Soledad calls back, and Ángela tells her that Elmer has died.
