A few more days passed. The day has arrived for Gabriela Alves to be discharged from the General Hospital and go home to rest.

Maggie and Bernardo insisted on accompanying her out.

“Gabriela, don't you want to stay at our house? The nanny wants to travel and I need someone to stay with Henrique.” Maggie makes this proposal.

“Well, I'm not very good at taking care of children.” Gabriela is in doubt, “And isn't he going to daycare?”

“Yes, when he is away, you take the opportunity to rest.” Maggie nods with a smug look.

Gabriela smiles, “OK, let this serve as training for when I have mine. Do you agree, Mr. Marçal?”

Bernardo nods gently, “Absolutely.”

“Then, deal done. I need to rest, and Henrique is so cute.” Gabriela was going to get the suitcase but Bernardo does it for her.

When they are about to leave the hospital, Dr. Silvana is returning from lunch, “Hello, everyone! Mrs. Marçal, the article about the engagement of Vera and Wallace Freire was wonderful, as always.”

Maggie boasts,

    In the Mountain Penthouse, Kelvin listens carefully to the decision of his beloved wife and is confident in supporting her in everything.“I hear you, Melissa. What did you decide?”“I have decided to support Bernie and Maggie's plan.” Melissa continues coldly and solemnly, “I’ll separate Josias from Kate.”Kelvin hugs her tightly, “Congratulations, honey! You made the right decision. Josias will hate you, but later, as time passes, he will realize that you helped him get rid of a lot of weight!”“A counterweight.” Melissa finally smiles as her husband approves it, “I thought you would be jealous.”The hug breaks, “That's your loser brother's bullshit. I can't lose my mind over this. I love and trust you, Melissa.”“I love you too and I don't want to cheat on you.” Melissa confirms once again, “My story with Josias was very beautiful, but it's over now. He deserves to have another woman to carry the title of Mrs. Rocha, a woman who is really worth it.”“Great. Come on, let's take a na

If you came to know, Gabriela is already in our apartment.”Melissa is surprised, “Huh? Shouldn't she rest at her house?”“She should have, but I jumped at the opportunity.” Melissa winks like a mischievous little girl, “While Henrique is at daycare, she rests. Afterward, she takes care of him while the nanny takes a trip to Paris with her husband.”“Is the husband that wealthy to travel to Paris?” Melissa widens her eyes.Maggie shakes her head, “No, Melissa, I paid for the plane tickets. My nanny deserves it for taking good care of my prince all these years, don't you think?”Melissa laughs. She pulls up a chair and sits down, “I came to tell you that I agree to help in whatever way possible for Josias to divorce Kate.”Maggie is even more excited, “

    Gabriela is outraged by Josias's proposal. She expected him to declare himself and admit his 'love' for her, or to declare his divorce from Katherine... But he asked the classic 'how much do you want' question!She gets up in offense, “You really are one of those big shots who think they can solve everything with money, huh? If I ask you for a million bucks, would you pay me?”“I would pay you to shut your mouth and stop pestering my wife. That would be a fair reward for the aggression she gave you. She might even admit to Maggiezine that she messed up. However, you also have to admit that you teased my wife about being in love with the swimming instructor.”Gabriela glares at Josias, “Listen well, my lord: I didn't say that your wife cheated on you with him. I didn’t say that your wife had sexual intercourse with him. I just insinuated that she had a crush because Mr. Guzman is indeed an attractive guy. If your wife freaked out and tried to kill me for it, it's because I spoke the tr

But when she opened her eyes wide......Josias was staring at her, already in his black pinstripe suit.“Honey, what happened?” she asks in a sleepy voice.“Kate, I think it's about time we stopped.”Katherine seems to have become more attentive as she leans against the headboard, “Huh? Stop with what?”“Stop the show we are making.” Josias sits on the bed, “I know very well that there was no harassment. You were temporarily attracted to Cláudio Guzman and begged me not to fire him. When I left the matter in your hands, you thought better of it and dismissed him, but for fear that I might misunderstand you, you made the whole story up.”Katherine is stunned by Josias revealing almost the whole truth, except for a few details...******At Vernon's house, he has just played the tape for Elza.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!
