Josias arrives at the General Hospital and makes a big fuss in the corridors.“WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE? KATE! KAAAATEEE!”He bumps into Beto and Wallace and they both grab him.“Josias, for Christ’s sake, calm down!” Beto exclaims excitedly, “Let’s wait in the lounge.”Everyone enters the famous lounge. Isabel enters after them with a handkerchief embroidered in gold, “Josias, I’m so sorry...”“What happened, guys?” Josias no longer holds back the tears, “She said just today that she wasn’t going to die!”Isabel feels shivers on the back of her neck, “She defied Divine law, Josias.”“Isabel, I don't believe Everaldo could have had the courage to kill her. Why?” Josias exclaims in disgust.Wallace shakes Josias by the shoulders, “For God's sake, man, don't go turning into an atheist now! You've always believed what Everaldo said since 1980. And you REALLY don't know why Katherine is being punished?”Josias sits on the sofa with tremors, “Kate and I forgive each other.”“Did she and

Doctor Braggart decides to end the suspense and answers at once, “Guys, I have some good news for you. Josias Junior had an amazing recovery. The pediatricians who attended to him managed to stop the bleeding and he is out of danger.”All present applauded and cheered in uncontained ecstasy.“And my wife, Doctor?” Josias asks anxiously.Doctor Braggart shorted his smile, “Well… Mr. Rocha, I fear your wife's situation is more serious. Your son was wearing a seat belt, but she wasn't. I fear her recovery will be slower.”“But she's not going to die, is she?” Josias's eyes widen.“No, she definitely won't die.” Doctor Braggart shakes his head.“Thank the good Lord!” Isabel holds her hands up, “Did you see? Everaldo showed up, and everything was fine!”Everyone once again credits Everaldo with this victory. Josias lets out a long sigh of relief.Melissa and Kelvin appear in the lounge.Dora sees her, “Daughter, where have you been all this time?”“Mom, Dad… Kelvin and I went straight to t

At the Rocha Mansion, Melissa turned off the radio to toast J.J.“May Josias Bezerra Rocha Junior continue to grow in health and safety, under the blessings of God and Everaldo!”“HURRAY!” Everyone exclaims.Alan made a point of looking at David to see if he would say 'hurray', and David did.Carmen gestures, “OK, now let's cut the cake. But no mess!”Henrique and James already run to the table while the other children line up.“I miss Caio and João Paulo.” Caroline asserts.“Both are working now.” Rosemary explains, “It will soon be our turn.”“Rose, will you work with me at Maggiezine? Aunt Maggie promised me a job opening.” Caroline comments effusively.“Only if we do a journalism degree together.” Rosemary holds out the plastic plate and receives a slice of cake, “Thanks, Aunt Carmen.”“You welcome. And it's good advice, Rose. I'm sure Maggie won't deny you both a spot. João Paulo is already working there.”David once again chimes in by pretending no offense, “I thought he'd want

The next day, Katherine is calmer and stronger in her hospital bed. Doctor Braggart drops by to visit and check on her situation.“Your vital signs are getting stronger and you are no longer life-threatening, Mrs. Rocha, congratulations.”Katherine jokes, “Looks like only my car was a total loss.”She laughs, but notices something strange, “Doctor, why can't I move my legs?”Gabriela was about to enter the room, but she stops and listens to the question. She widens her eyes.Doctor Braggart smiles kindly, “Your legs have been severely injured and we even thought about amputating one of them. Fortunately, that wasn't necessary. We managed to contain the bleeding, operated on the femur, and counted on their regeneration.”“But I'm not going to be paralyzed, am I?” Katherine's eyes widen.Doctor Braggart nods, “There's nothing to be afraid of, Mrs. Rocha. But if you want to be calmer, we can do some tests...”“Yes, I want to be more relaxed! Let's not waste time, doctor.”“OK, I’ll conta

At Marçal Publishing, Vernon tries to calm João Paulo who is walking in circles in the office.“How many memories I have of this old office... Son, you can't be shaken by this kind of situation.”“Dad, my colleague who was supposed to mentor me at the company was trying to harm Kate again!” João Paulo goes to the phone, “I need to tell Josias about this!”Vernon puts his big hand on the telephone set, preventing João Paulo from saying, “NO, son! Don't make your brother nervous about anything. He has a lot of priorities at the moment.”João Paulo takes a deep breath, “You are right. Josias is a very busy man, he doesn't have to worry about my grumbling.”“But son, remember that you don't have to be so faithful to Katherine.” Vernon advises him, “She's been a bubonic plague and she reaped what she sowed. We all thought that was going to be the end of her, but God, in his infinite mercy, sent Everaldo to let her live a little longer to repent of her sins.”“She will never regret it if pe
