Before Melissa could answer the phone, Caroline abruptly entered her mother's office."Mom! Can we talk, please?"Isabel stands up. "I better leave...""No, Izzy. You can stay. In a way, you're involved as Mrs. Mountain." Caroline sits next to the elder.Feeling that the conversation will be about Kelvin, Melissa lets the call ring until it goes to voicemail."Who was on the phone?" Isabel points out."Kelvin. I can't imagine what else he could want to talk to me about." Melissa shakes her head.Caroline feels a lump in her throat. "Mom, I can't believe that Kelvin could disappoint me like this. He's my symbolic father! How did the twins react?""They still don't know," Melissa responds cautiously.How is she going to tell Mary and Ignacio that their father got a harlot pregnant?"Well, then we're screwed. I'll never have the courage to tell something of this magnitude." Caroline lowers her head, discouraged.Melissa smiles and stands up, approaching her daughter and sitting next to h
In the Teodoro Building lobby, Daniela and Pedro confront Hamilton about the delusions of wealth he harbors."Mr. Lombardi, I beg you to leave your daughter alone." Pedro approaches them both."What do you mean? I don't torment my daughter," Hamilton responds curtly."You torment her with this eternal conversation about her being emotionally involved with Felipe Mountain," Pedro complains, "He came here to make it clear that he doesn't want to commit, but you—"Daniela gently interrupts Pedro, "Thank you for mentioning that, dear. So, father, was there really an embarrassing conversation here? Was it this chat that made Felipe raise the partition in the office?""Even Little Theo witnessed the conversation," Pedro replied.Unbeknownst to them, Beto had already returned from outside and was listening to the conversation unseen.Hamilton is a bit embarrassed, but not enough to give up his theory. "Daughter, I think you should take the opportunity to confess what's in your heart."Daniel
Alan and Sofia's baby is born.In 2009, Alan Vasquez Campos Rocha Junior was born in a comfortable private room at the General Hospital.Sofia woke everyone up in the middle of the night. There was no way around it, the contractions chose the most inconvenient time to start.The family was so desperate that Alan forgot to put on underwear and went freeballing to the hospital.There, Dr. Silvana calmed the family down while Sofia was being attended to. From the room, the screams of pain followed by the obstetrician's encouragement could be heard.Until finally, the baby's cry was heard."Mr. Campos Rocha, you can come in. You have a beautiful and healthy baby boy!""Excuse me!" Alan burst into the room.Sofia was sweaty and disheveled, but with a triumphant smile as she received her firstborn in her arms."This will be the first of many, my dear. I promise you," Sofia joyfully murmured.Alan leans in and kisses his wife's forehead. "Thank you very much, dear.""Look at him! So helpless
Caroline visits General Hospital again and finds Olivia kind of guarding the door of the room where Sofia was resting.Olivia frowns and goes on alert."What do you want, Caroline? My daughter needs to rest."Caroline notices the hostility. "Huh? Calm down, Mrs. Vasquez. I come in peace. If Sofia is sleeping, I'll come back another time.""Are you already working as a journalist?" Olivia narrows her eyes.There is a 'trainee' badge on Caroline's blouse with the Marçal Publishing emblem."Yes, I'll take the entrance exam and major in Journalism. Isn't that cool?" Caroline smiles innocently."Yes, as long as you're not like your uncle João Paulo." Olivia scowls."What do you mean by that?" Caroline tries, but she doesn't accept anyone speaking badly of her family members!"Have you read his column?" Olivia rolls her eyes, more concerned about her daughter, "There is an article mentioning Vaztrans."Caroline shakes her head, "Mrs. Vasquez, I definitely did not come to discuss Vaztrans or
Josias visits Crystal Blue to see how Felipe is handling things.He was shocked to see that the office had shrunk in size. A PVC divider had been hastily put up to form Daniela's office."Felipe? What the hell happened here?"Felipe smiles awkwardly. "Hello, Mr. Rocha. Congratulations on your grandson. May he grow up healthy in a happy home."Josias looks at Felipe with a neutral expression, sensing irony in the last part of his statement."How will my grandson grow up happy in that crazy home? Unless my son has complete control over his upbringing." Josias smiles slightly, thinking about the challenges Alan will have to face, "Anyway, what happened for this divider to appear? Did you and Daniela Lombardi fight?"Felipe stands up abruptly, irritated by so many people disagreeing with his decision. "Oh, you too, Mr. Rocha? Everyone wants me to work side by side with Daniela to gossip about a secret relationship between us!"Josias approaches Felipe and holds him by the shoulders."HEY,
At Crystal Blue, something is happening in Daniela's office that shouldn't be.It's ironic that Felipe ordered the separation of the offices precisely to avoid what is happening now!Felipe and Daniela didn't think of anything else and passionately kissed each other.After moments of contained passion finally exploding like a dam bursting, Felipe and Daniela step back and catch their breath.Daniela is the first to realize the sin committed. She widens her eyes and covers her mouth with both hands, stepping back in two steps."Daniela..."A slap straight across Felipe's face interrupted his words."Shut up! Why did you do that?" Daniela exclaims, horrified."Huh? You demanded that I prove to you that I no longer love Caroline!" Felipe was obviously confused.Daniela shook her head, starting to nervously laugh. "He, he, he... I can't believe it! Why did you raise the partition then?"Felipe feels hurt and scowls. "I believe I proved my point. Separating the offices is necessary. And if
Caroline is now at Rocha Mansion, in the comfort of her room, studying for the college entrance exam. She has already written the article about the birth of her nephew and handed it to Maggie.Smiling, she looks forward to the moment when she will be dealing with more serious and important subjects, such as Politics and World Economy.Her phone interrupts her daydreams and she answers when she sees that it's her father."Hi, Dad! What's up?""Daughter, I ask you not to panic," Josias speaks directly.It's the kind of phrase that has the opposite effect. Caroline started to feel shivers down her spine and her heart raced."Dad, when you say that, something horrible must have happened. My nephew...?""Nothing happened to your nephew, but to your fiancé."Dora enters at this moment. "Carol...""WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO REUBEN?" Caroline yells in despair.Dora approaches and puts her hands on Caroline's shoulders.Josias is in the hospital corridor, sighing deeply. "Erasmo showed up at t
Josias holds Caroline, who trembles with fear."Daughter, remember what I told you?" He gazes at her, advising her affectionately."Father, don't come to me with tales." Caroline shakes her head, "Reuben is dying and I want justice! I want, I DEMAND, that you dig a hole in the beach sand and bury Erasmo alive! He needs to die! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"Simeon and Dora feel compassion and distress at seeing their granddaughter so desperate and bloodthirsty."Where is Melissa?" Josias turns to them."Melissa is with Izzy at LCN, in a meeting with the soap opera directors," Simeon explained."OK. I need you to take care of her." Josias hands his daughter to her maternal grandparents.Dr. Hogan repeats the information, "We still don't know the results of the tests, but your fiancé won't die, Miss Rocha. But he probably won't be walking well on the day of the wedding."Caroline starts trembling in stress again. "No, doctor, this can't happen! Our wedding is scheduled, we've
