Building My Life Chapter 2289 Beto in the Hospital
Josias got up and decided to go to the hospital to check on his friend Beto.But as he was taking steps towards the door, putting on his jacket... Damn it! Today he had a meeting to discuss a new project in Guarapari!In fact, the door opened, and Alfred found him. “Josias? Are you ready? We’re heading to the conference room.”Josias tried to disguise his concern. “We’re ready, Alfred.”“Is something wrong? You seem worried.” Alfred tried to be friendly.“Something happened, but people keep telling me that I need to focus more on business and stop being a babysitter for my friends.” Josias smiled bitterly.Alfred looked at the clock. “Well... That’s what people say. But what about YOU, Josias? What do you want to do?”Josias felt tempted by Alfred to postpone the meeting and go to the hospital. But... “No, let’s go to the meeting. I’ve already given the order to Pollyanna. They’ll take care of everything for me.”“Then let’s go!” Alfred smiled and made way for his boss to pass.Meanwh

At the General Hospital, Josias approaches the information desk and asks the nurse, “Good afternoon. I need to speak to the doctor in charge of the patient Roberto Reis.”The nurse smiles and replies, “We’re already aware of your involvement, sir. The cardiologist surgeon, Dr. Fraga, is still in the operating room with his team. Please keep calm.”“Thank you,” Josias nods in response.Teresa appears down the corridor. She looks tired but manages to smile. “Josias...”“Hi, Tess,” Josias approaches her and they hug. “How is our champion?”“He’s still having surgery,” Teresa replies. “The rest of the family is inside.”Josias looks concerned. “What a situation, Tess. What brought this on? Wasn’t he taking his medication properly?”Teresa breaks the hug and faces Josias, uncertain whether or not to speak.“Go ahead, Tess,” Josias encourages her.Teresa swallows dryly and says, “What would you say if you knew that Beto read about Rose’s abortion in the LCN newspaper?”Josias’s face reddens
Building My Life Chapter 2291 New Sweethearts
The next day, Nadia showed up at Café Mountain to talk to her boyfriend. At least she thought she was dating Rodrigo.As she was greeted by the aroma of espresso and the song “Don’t Let Them Get Me” by Pink, Nadia finds Rodrigo wearing an apron that hugged his body.“Hmm... my boyfriend likes to show off his muscular body, huh?”“Stop it, honey, you’re making me shy.” Rodrigo strokes her head, “But... are we officially a couple?”“Wow, aren’t we?” Nadia is surprised, “After the romantic night we had, according to my father...”“Well, it’s confirmed: we’re boyfriend and girlfriend,” Rodrigo replies hurriedly before Jacques enters the café demanding compensation for his little princess.Nadia laughs, “What a rush... Anyway, how is Roberto Reis, the man who managed the supermarket before me?”“You hold him in high esteem without ever having worked with him, huh?” Rodrigo finds that interesting.“It’s the way Mr. Ramos spoke of him when he sold the supermarket to us.” Nadia admits, “I can

Everyone in Beto’s room rejoices with him waking up. Teresa has to stop herself from climbing on top of her convalescing husband.“DEAR! Beto... my love... you’re awake!”“Yes, guys, why all the fuss?” Beto speaks, his voice is weak.Everyone laughs.“Sorry, brother-in-law.” Wallace says, “We overdid the voice.”“It’s the first time a patient has woken up because of visitors.” Vera jokes.Wallace puts his hand on his wife’s shoulder, “Come on, Vera. Let’s leave the family for now.”Wallace and Vera leave.Beto takes a deep breath. Color is returning to his face.“Daddy, are you not going to die anymore?” Maycon asks just to be sure.“Who said that?” Beto tries to raise his hand to stroke his son’s head, but he is still weak. A needle stuck in his hand hinders the process.“That’s what everyone said.” Maycon shrugs, “But Grandma Isabel prayed to God and he healed you.”Beto smiles and nods.Pedro says, “Dad, Reuben said you have to be alive for his wedding feast.”“Reuben is a... good-
Building My Life Chapter 2293 Long Live Beto
Days later, Beto is received with honors and festivities back at his home.All the tenants who were up to date on their rent crowded into the lobby. Beto was moved and allowed himself a few tears. The clapping was deafening and lasted for minutes.“LONG LIVE BETO!”“HURRAY!”Teresa hugs Beto, “See, dear? They love you!”Beto visualizes the portrait nailed to the wall, “Hey, did they advance my tribute yet?”Vera laughs, “And there’s more, bro: Josias wants to build a building in Guarapari with your name.”Beto looks around until he finds Josias.“Yes, you deserve it, buddy!” Josias and Beto embrace.In a corner of the lobby, Daryl watches the scene with some envy. He wanted to win Beto’s friendship, and now he doesn’t have Beto’s or Josias’s! He was only there because of Rodrigo and the Freire family.Diane senses her husband’s embarrassment, “If you smile, they won’t mind.”Daryl groans, “I care. We are here, celebrating, but I have to hide in a corner.”“Do we HAVE to hide in a corn
Building My Life Chapter 2294 Don’t Stop Living
Josias enters the apartment, worried about his brother.“João Paulo, today we had an amazing party at the Teodoro building. Why didn’t you go and take Sandra with you?”João Paulo is a little embarrassed to answer, “You said the reason. Sandra.”“What about her? Is she sick?” Josias checks his niece.“No, she’s fine.” João Paulo smiles at his daughter, “I don’t think she would do well at a noisy party. I bet there was a lot of screaming and cheering, huh?”Josias nods, “Yes, the folks were happy with Beto’s safe return. We lost his father in 1985 in the same location. We didn’t want to lose the child fourteen years apart.”João Paulo agrees, “Yes, Beto turned fifty. He’s still young.” Sandra starts to look drowsy, “Excuse me, Josias, I’m going to put her in her crib.”Josias sits on the sofa and waits for João Paulo to return from his daughter’s room. He observes framed photographs of João Paulo and Sandra in different situations.When João Paulo returns, Josias doesn’t waste time, “L

Teresa is desperate when Beto says that she wants to talk about that article that made him pass out.“BETO! Have you gone completely crazy? Let’s not talk about that article! I don’t want to lose you again!”Beto smiles slightly, “And since when did I last lose you?”“It doesn’t matter!” Teresa cries out, “I don’t want to be a widow, not now that Maycon is still three years old! You need to be around to explain to Maycon how to shave, how to wash the car, how to play soccer, how his private parts will change in adolescence, how to win over girls...”Teresa’s voice breaks. Beto hugs his wife to comfort her.“Don’t do that, honey. I’ll be here to help Maycon, just as I helped Pedro. My heir is already fifteen years old and starting to grow hair... down there...”Teresa can’t resist and laughs at her husband’s embarrassment. The embrace is broken.Beto leans against the counter with the look of someone who won’t let the matter drop.Teresa rolls her eyes, “OK, you’re the one who wants to
Building My Life Chapter 2296 When Will Things Get Better?
Josias remembers that Teresa asked him to say that Rosemary’s abortion was false news.“Ah, yes... How could I pass up such a slur? Rosemary got depressed in Victoria.”Beto nods, “Looks like my little princess was really upset. She went to Paris with Carmen and Caroline to hide from bad publicity. But she didn’t know that I ended up passing out, which is why she didn’t come to visit me.”The others just stare at each other, confused.Beto continues to speak, “But thinking about it, I even prefer Rose to have stayed in Paris. Why does she want to come here just to cry about my near death? I didn’t die, and I’m better. I don’t want my daughter interrupting her life because of her old dad.”Octavio interjects, “It’s not like that, Beto. You have suffered a cardiac arrest. We were all pretty worried.”“Okay, I know you were worried. But imagine if Rosemary left the comfort of Paris just to see me. I didn’t die, so her trip would be in vain. Airfare isn’t that cheap... and then, if she sh

Chapter 3148 Josias Is Insane
Josias visits the Rocha Hotel since he didn’t have a day off for the staff. In the management room, Eugenio gathered David, Benjamin, and Sybil. “Why is that mere cook present at this meeting?” David asked disparagingly. “Because that’s how our boss ordered it,” Eugenio replied dryly. “I didn’t say anything and didn’t call this meeting, so if you’ll excuse me...” Benjamin and Sybil were horrified to see David leaving the meeting just like that. However, when he opened the door, David came face to face with his father. “David, where do you think you’re going?” “DAD!” David exclaimed, extremely surprised. “I didn’t know you were coming!” “Didn’t Eugenio tell you I was coming?” Josias asked with a scowl. David understood who the ‘boss’ was. Benjamin and Sybil felt vindicated. Josias sat down at the desk, taking Eugenio’s seat, while the manager remained humbly standing. “Very well,” Josias began the meeting in a formal tone, “I’m here just to make things crystal clear.

Chapter 3147 Josias Instructs His Firstborn
Melissa and Mary visit the Mountain Café.“A guava juice for me, Mr. Mountain!” Mary requested, smiling sweetly.“Of course, my princess!” Rodrigo replied, thinking Mary was very adorable. “Neil will make a delicious cup for you.”“Thank you. But the princess is Carol,” Mary responded, striking a serious pose.Melissa and Rodrigo laughed heartily. Mary is something else...“Rod, how has it been managing the café in your father’s absence?” Melissa asked seriously.Rodrigo served a baked chicken pastry with ketchup to Mary. “I'm getting by, Melissa. Josias was here earlier, more concerned about my loss than his own, as always. Isn’t he supposed to be resting?”Melissa nodded. “My husband is like that: he only relaxes when all of us are relaxed.”“An impossible mission because of certain people.”Neilton approached with the glass. “Who ordered a guava juice?”“I DID!” Mary grabbed the glass and went to a table.Melissa leaned forward, “Neil, Rod, how are Daryl and Diane? Behaving?”“Cont

Chapter 3146 We Need to Talk - Dad
At João Paulo’s house, he and Josias were about to have a significant conversation.“Walter, do you want to go with your mom to the kitchen?” João Paulo asked, looking at Helen. “I think she made some walnut cake.”“It was carrot cake,” Sandra replied, already getting up from the couch.“You got it.” Helen appeared and picked up Walter in her arms. “Let’s let Dad and Uncle Josias talk.”“Bye, Uncle!” Walter waved goodbye to Josias.“Bye-bye, I want a piece later!” Josias chuckled.Once alone with João Paulo, Josias became serious. “Don’t let anything or anyone ruin this family scenario, little brother.”“I’m fine. No one wants to ruin anything,” João Paulo replied casually.“Well, I hope David hasn’t caused you any trouble.”“He probably doesn’t even know I exist, man.” João Paulo shrugged.“But I stopped by Café Montanha and found out that the Vasquez family has replaced the Mountain family as the ‘annoying people.’”João Paulo sighed in disappointment. “Yeah.

Chapter 3145 João Paulo Is a Good Father
Josias visits Café Montanha for a coffee and finds Rodrigo there. “Rod, how have you been?” Rodrigo is taken aback. “How am I? You’re the one who suffered a horrific loss recently!” “But you also lost your father. We’re in the same situation,” Josias explained as he sat down on a stool. “I’m okay, Josias. Life has a way of cheering me up. For example, I’m back at the diner after Thierry decided to take his place at the supermarket.” Rodrigo smiled. “What about the photography studio?” Josias smiled back. “It’s still going to operate, and Thierry will make periodic visits. But he’s going to appoint one of the staff to manage the studio.” Rodrigo served a pizza pastry to Josias. “Thank you. Well, I hope everything is alright between you two. I need to visit Rosemary and meet Jean Luc — is that the name of the baby?” “Yes, the name of the supermarket heir. Meanwhile, Frank will be here or somewhere else.” Josias interjected, “If Frank wants to work at Rocha Constructions, count

Chapter 3144 Benjamin Requests a Transfer
At the Rocha Mansion, Josias receives a visit from Benjamin. “How have you been, Ben? Any news about your parents?” The two embrace. “Actually, that’s what I want to talk about.” Benjamin scratches the back of his neck. The embrace breaks. “Let’s go to my office.” The two gentlemen enter Josias’s imposing office. “Any problems with Adolfo?” Josias asks, becoming serious. “Not yet, but I hope not to have any,” Benjamin replies with some sadness. “You know, Josias, what happened with your father made me think about my family, about how important it is for all of us to be together in the final moments.” “That’s true. João Paulo can tell you that better than I can.” “I think you can say it too. Vernon was the father you never had.” Benjamin clears his throat. “So, I’ve been looking into some hotels and realized there’s a demand at the Rocha Hotel in Victoria.” Josias looks at Benjamin, understanding where he’s going with this. “You want to go to Victoria to be close to your pare

Chapter 3143 Return
Someone rings the doorbell at João Paulo’s house. The homeowner goes to answer after taking a shower and putting on clean clothes. But when he opened the door, João Paulo felt like slamming it in the visitor’s face. “Don’t be rude!” Erasmo exclaimed. “What do you want, you old bore?” João Paulo shot back. Erasmo barged into João Paulo’s foyer. “The mourning is over. Let’s pick up where we left off.” “Are you crazy? Who decides how long mourning lasts? We just got back from the trip!” “Not exactly, it’s been a day. Life goes on, my friend!” Erasmo replied mockingly. João Paulo remained serious. “But I don’t want to continue living this way, where fights and intrigues are the order of the day. Mr. Vasquez, you have a business to run, and I have a family to raise.” “But you found time to slap my son-in-law when he was here defending his family, didn’t you?” “Alan was extremely rude, but that was some time ago.” João Paulo frowned. “I don’t feel the same anger as before.” “So a

Chapter 3142 Let’s Launch Another Biography
At the Vasquez Mansion, Alan could hardly believe that the people were thinking about more intrigues and disputes. “Guys, don’t you understand that I even forgot the reason I slapped Uncle João Paulo?” “Ridiculous!” Erasmo gestured. “You just maintained respect because it was a difficult occasion. But now, the mourning is OVER!” “Do you think João Paulo will rest, dear?” Sofia asked, sitting next to him. Alan shook his head. “If Uncle João Paulo doesn’t want to rest, then he is truly despicable. But my dad is back in town. He wouldn’t dare to do that.” The news should have been uplifting, but the members of the Vasquez family merely exchanged silent glances. With Josias present, it’s quite likely that he will put a stop to their fighting. Alan turned to Olivia. “In the meantime, we should celebrate the recovery of my dear mother-in-law!” Olivia and Sofia smiled awkwardly because of the secret they were keeping. “That’s right, let’s celebrate life!” Erasmo wrapped his arm arou

Chapter 3141 Respect the Mourning
Josias Rocha and his family returned to Lagoon City. Those who were waiting for them stayed in the mansion and greeted them cheerfully in the foyer. “WELCOME BACK!” Melissa, crying, embraced her parents, William, and the twins fervently. Josias greeted them with a light smile. “Where’s João Paulo?” William asked. “He went straight to his house. His kids needed to rest from the trip.” Melissa wiped her tears with her fingers. “Alan went straight to his mansion. Especially now that his mother-in-law has woken up from the coma.” “That was a scare; I thought we’d have two funerals,” Simeon commented. Everyone headed to the living room. “Is Paris very beautiful, Mom?” Mary asked. “Yes, sweetheart, it’s stunning. We’ll go shopping together another time, okay?” “Do you have pictures?” Ignacio asked anxiously. “Yes, son, we took some pictures.” Melissa sat on the couch, pulling out a package from her bag. Josias sat in the armchair, taking a deep breath. William approached him.

At Café Montanha, Daryl walks in for a coffee and finds Rodrigo at the counter while Neilton serves the others. “Hey, are we back to the old tradition?” “Don’t be a clown, man.” Rodrigo laughs. “Yes, Thierry is at the supermarket, as we agreed.” “Hi, Neil. Can you make me a cappuccino while I enjoy a natural sandwich?” Daryl places his order. “Sure thing, Mr. Mountain.” Neilton heads to the back. Daryl sits on the stool. “So, how do you feel after getting back to your element?” “I don’t regret at all helping my dear wife at the supermarket, Daryl,” Rodrigo admitted while preparing the natural sandwich. “I’m not talking about regrets.” Daryl joked. “But it’s undeniable that after Uncle Francisco’s passing, you prefer to stay here, carrying on the legacy he left.” “Just like Crystal Blue.” Rodrigo smiled. “Hey, I’m aware that you’re looking to open another restaurant in Sunset Village. Do you think you can manage it? How’s the prospecting going?” Daryl picks up the sandwich but
