If Benigna worked as a caretaker at the orphanage, and they also appear at the same photo together, which means they were at the same time there, it's strange that Laura didn't remember her when she entered her house?
shareThese things happen, you know. When you become an adult and spend many years without seeing someone you saw so often during childhood, you may not remember that person when you see them after many years. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but it's normal.
For example, I remember very well some people I met in my childhood, but there are also people who were so present in my life those days and now I can't remember them.
Plus, they explained Laura that Benigna had only been for a short time in the orphanage. Laura could have left the orphanage shortly after Benigna arrived there, therefore didn't knew her well enough to remember her.
«I was on the fire escape! I saw ya!»
Also, when Pilar was showing Laura the old photograph with the kids and Benigna in it, didn't she say that Benigna hadn't worked at the orphanage very long? She could have been hired a day or two before Laura left so maybe Laura didn't have a chance to really familiarize herself with Benigna.
shareConsidering she was only there for what was described as a short while, and Laura left the orphanage before Benigna left, it's pretty safe to assume that she was hired very close to Laura's adoption.
