"Uélton! What did you do?" Milton exclaims.
"My bad, Milton! I couldn't take it anymore!"
Uélton is reacting in a frightened way; he goes pale and takes two steps back.
Romualdo approaches the agglomeration and asks to make space. "Excuse me, guys! What happened, our first accident at work?"
"It was my fault, Seu Romualdo." Uélton replies, in a broken voice, "He is my brother and we have an argument."
Romualdo looks at Uélton with a cornered face and then looks at Wallace still unconscious. There is a hammer mark on one of his temples.
"Call an ambulance. Anyone who lives closer to here, please, call the hospital."
One of the workers who is in the situation in which Romualdo spoke ran to his house. Romualdo kneels and checks Wallace's heartbeat. "Okay, guys

Josias is opposed to the fact that Romualdo fires Uélton because of what happened."Seu Romualdo, you don't understand the story." Josias explains, "Wallace argued with me, then came here to take out anger at Uélton. I agree that Uélton might not listen to his older brother's complaints, because he was at his place of work. But, being fired for that? Very unfair! Wallace had nothing to do here.""But I can't scold him now, he went knocked out at the hospital." Romualdo replies, "It was up to Uélton to resolve this peacefully.""Didn't any more experienced masons try to break the fight?" Josias asks looking around at all the workers who were listening. Josias's gaze was fierce and the workers were silent, ashamed.Milton risks replying, "He was with me, but I didn't stop the discussion. They didn't even get to grapple.""Well, there we are."

Harold Freire demands that Josias and Tiago pay compensation for the accident that Wallace suffered. Josias looks at Tiago, afraid of the proposal.Tiago smiles from the corner of his mouth and responds after thinking for a few seconds. "Do you know, Mr. Freire? You raised an issue that would be better discussed in our office. How about we talk about it tomorrow? Do you leave the service at this time or were you released earlier?""I was released earlier to find out about my son," Harold asks as if he takes offense at the question. Which father would not leave the service when he finds out that his son had an accident?Josias could have replied that Pamela's father did not leave the work when she was run over and to this day does not give a damn about the matter.Tiago reaches into his shirt pocket and takes out a business card.

Teodoro is astonished when he hears Uélton ask him how much it costs to rent a room."Why are you asking me that, young man? I know very well that you have a family.""Do you think I should wait for my family to be killed so I can live here?" Uélton asks dryly, "Or do you think I can't afford it? I'm working as a bricklayer at Silva Construction Company."Teodoro does not want to be rude, but he does not see the same determined attitude as Josias in Uélton. He clearly sees that in Uélton there is revolt and frustration. If things were going well, he wouldn't be at the lobby of his building asking for a room."You seem to have been in trouble at home." Teodoro takes a chance."My brother decided to hate me because I support Josias and his courtship. Today my parents decided to side with him and despise me." Uélton explains with sadness in his eyes."Have you talked to them frankly or just come here? You know

There was a prize that his father won from some snooker competition and I hit him with a sharp part of the trophy. He passed out and I ran... in fact, I ran just like you, that day! I just didn't trip over the street or get seen by William."Pamela says desperately, "Well, believe me, sister, that's exactly what happened! I also managed to escape, kicked him in the 'private parts' and ran back here!""So do you confirm, you bitch?" Carmen speaks caustically."Once you've found out, what's the use of denying?"

Harold asks, "Are you so upset about the situation that you feel this is how you're going to work things out?""If you distance yourself from your brother, you won't be able to make it up," Isabel warns.Uélton, however, snorts at the mention of Wallace, "We are not talking about Wallace. We are talking about me! I am feeling devalued in this house. Wallace has behaved strangely for months, but you have closed your eyes about it. Now that the bomb went off, you want to blame me. I'm not the one who chased other people's girlfriends.""Son, I ask your forgiveness, for giving the impression that we did not love you."

In the Mountain Penthouse living room, the atmosphere was far from serene. The heated discussion between Suzy and her boyfriend’s family showed no sign of calming down.“I can’t believe this!” Suzy exclaimed, her voice tight with indignation. “You all actually think I’m in love with Luís Vasquez!”Karen raised an eyebrow, her tone biting. “You’re not?”“OF COURSE NOT!” Suzy barked back. “I’m in love with Felipe — I love him!”Kelvin, unmoved, folded his arms. “Just not as much as you love your money and your... ‘investments.’”Diane lifted a hand, hoping to bring reason to the conversation. “Suzy, I’ve turned a deaf ear to all the gossip about you. I want to believe the best. Please don’t disappoint me.”Suzy’s voice wavered slightly as she responded, “I swear, Mrs. Mountain... Diane... I don’t know why Felipe insists on believing the lies João Paulo QUEIRÓS keeps spinning!”Daryl’s expression darkened. “So the problem lies with the journalist, then. Looks like I’ll have to deal with

Everyone was taken aback as the truth behind the fight that had sent Felipe to the hospital came to light.“Well, if that’s how it is...” Daryl began, clearly processing the news.Diane, urgent to defend her son, jumped in. “But wait, why exactly did Felipe and Luís decide to fight?”Suzy’s lips curled into a sly smile. It was time to drop the bomb.“According to my uncle Eugenio,” she began, “Felipe barged into his office and announced that he wanted to break up with me — because my uncle was happy about me being featured on the cover of Maggiezine.”Everyone looked even more stunned.“Wait, what does that have to do with anything?” Kelvin asked, frowning.Suzy explained, “Felipe saw my uncle thanking Luís for sort of encouraging me to accept the interview with Maggie.”Daryl exhaled sharply. “So my son just had a jealous outburst. That’s all it was.”Diane shrugged. “He wasn’t serious about breaking up with you

At the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin and Daryl were relieved that everything had turned out okay. Diane and Karen were nearby, on the sofas, chatting cheerfully. “God was merciful and allowed our son to live a few more years,” Diane declared. “Now, you both need to rest,” Karen patted Kelvin’s chest. “We slept beautifully while you two were in that sterile lounge.” Kelvin yawned once more. “I think I’ll take my dear wife’s advice; what do you think, Daryl?” “Who said we own the place?” Daryl yawned as well. The ladies laughed at their funny husbands. The doorbell rang. Tony passed through the living room, offering, “I’ll get it.” When Tony opened the door, he was surprised by the visitor. “Miss Cogo?” “How funny, you don’t call me by my first name. Did Felipe manage to talk to you before the coma?” Suzy asked bitterly, without smiling. Tony reacted perplexed by this torrent of unfriendly words. “Uh... Come in, please.” Suzy entered, ready for the storm. “Who is it, big brothe

The next day, Matthew Hogan entered the General Hospital lounge and found Daryl and Kelvin incredibly exhausted but hopeful. “Doctor, how did it go?” Daryl nearly jumped on Matthew. “Calm down, the patient survived the surgery. It’s just a matter of time before he’s back in his room.” “Oh, thank God!” Kelvin cheered. Daryl couldn’t resist and hugged Matthew. “Thank you so much, doctor!” Matthew smiled, somewhat awkwardly, but aware that it was a common reaction. “You’re welcome, we did everything we could.” “Yeah, I understand.” Daryl released the hug, rubbing his eyes — whether from sleep or wiping away a tear. “It’s going to take a little while. I suggest you both go home and rest a bit,” Matthew said. “I think we’ll do just that,” Kelvin yawned. “Now that the danger has passed, I think I deserve it. Doctor, let us know if anything happens,” Daryl requested, patting the doctor’s shoulder. “I’ll do. And congratulations to you both.” Matthew left the lounge. Kelvin yawned a

At the Rocha Hotel, Eugenio and Jake are talking to Suzy about what is happening. Jake was upset. “Suzy, haven’t you gone to visit your boyfriend yet?” “I don’t know if it’s a good idea to show up there right now.” Suzy lowered her head. “The fight happened... here?” Eugenio responded indignantly, “Yes, in my beloved living room. Luís lost his temper when Felipe called him ‘Spanish Stallion.’“ Suzy lifted her head, completely changing her posture. “WHAT? Well, then, the beating didn’t come out of nowhere!” “Come on, sis, don’t go along with this,” Jake advised her. “They’re saying Felipe’s condition is serious.” “Serious is Luís getting teased every single day by the nickname he despises the most!” Suzy exclaimed. Eugenio decided to tell the whole story, “Suzy, there’s a lot more you don’t know.” “Tell me, uncle!” “Felipe, before being assaulted, said he wouldn’t continue dating you, claiming that the Cogo family would always prefer Luís.” Suzy reacted, paralyzed by this inf

Rodrigo and Nadia entered the General Hospital lounge, finding Karen and Diane. “We’re here! Where’s Daryl?” Nadia approached the couch. “He went to check with Kelvin for more information,” Diane sniffed. “Thanks for coming.” “We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t show up,” Nadia sat down near them. “And I’m a mother too.” Rodrigo poured himself some coffee. “Any news?” Diane took a deep breath. “Felipe is still awake. Dr. Hogan said the tests revealed a concussion, and they’re now deciding if surgery will be necessary.” “How horrible.” Nadia shuddered. “Well, whether surgery is necessary or not, I hope everything goes well for Felipe.” “Now, I find it strange that Suzy still hasn’t shown up!” Karen frowned. “Did you see her outside?” “No. We thought she was inside or with Daryl,” Nadia replied honestly. Diane shook her head. “No, guys, I can’t believe Suzy would choose to work or handle investments instead of checking on her boyfriend!” Rodrigo took a sip – the coffee wasn’t a

At Vaztrans, William swallowed hard before answering Sofia’s question.“Sofia, your cousin really went too far this time,” he began cautiously.“What do you mean?” Sofia narrowed her eyes. “I know Luís can be a bit difficult, but—”“Yes, the hot Spanish blood speaks louder sometimes, right?” William took a deep breath. “Luís assaulted Felipe. Daryl rushed to the hospital.”Sofia reacted with her mouth open, holding her breath.Then she composed herself. “How could he do such a thing?”“Do you want to hear my guess?” William asked with a sly smile.“No! It can’t be because of Suzy Cogo!” Sofia ran her hands through her hair as if to pull it out.“It seems we were wrong to have accepted her partnership, huh?” William shook his head.“If she starts to tarnish Vaztrans’ reputation...” Sofia paced around the office. “First, her statement: her reluctance to raise the salary of the employees here. Now, this love triangle that I thought was over...”“Everaldo warned us to be careful with her,”

Sometimes I think João Paulo is lurking, ready to pounce on anything to throw us into confusion.”“But the salary bonus we promised will be paid, right?” William smirked.“Of course, what choice do we have?” Daryl pointed to the magazine. “She made it clear in the interview. We’re not going to contradict her, are we?”William laughed ironically. “It seems Suzy is going to be the kind of person who does anything to get out of trouble, even if it means contradicting herself.”Daryl’s cell phone rang, and he answered, seeing it was Diane. “My dear is calling. Hello, Di?”Diane was at the hospital entrance, trying to be strong. “Hello, Daryl. We need you at the hospital.”“What happened?” Daryl’s eyes widened.“Luís Vasquez beat our son to a pulp, as they say,
