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
In the General Hospital lounge, Dr. Hogan reappeared with a calmer expression."Everyone, Reuben is being taken to surgery. I hope everything will be alright. Unfortunately, his right leg was affected, and we detected a fracture in the exams."Melissa was present. Josias pointed her out to the doctor."Dr. Hogan, this is my wife, Melissa. Your mother also treated her.""He's Dra. Silvana's son?" Melissa looked closely at the doctor and noticed the resemblance."Yes. And he's treating our friend Reuben." Josias nodded.Flávia approached Josias. "Josias, although I think Caroline exaggerated out of desperation, I agree with her that Erasmo needs to take responsibility."William echoed the complaint. "Exactly. He knocked the boy down and then shut the door with him still in the doorway. What kind of violence is that? All because his loan was denied?"Josias looked at the ground, pondering the implications of the events."Reuben didn't help by calling him 'senile old man.' But I agree, Er
Hours passed. Reuben woke up from surgery and found himself lying in his bed in the Intensive Care Unit.Flavia and William were the first to see him."Mom, what happened?""Take it easy, son." Flavia smiled through tears, "You only broke a leg. You need to rest to recover.""Recover?" Reuben has the same anxiety as Caroline, "Mom, I can't relax. The wedding is coming! Carol has already bought her wedding dress!"William approached and put his hand on his shoulder. "Reuben, calm down. I know this is annoying, but this unexpected event happened, and you need to take care of yourself. You don't want to walk down the aisle in a wheelchair or crutches, do you?""No, that would take all the grace and glamour out of the occasion," Reuben joked with a grimace.He wants to be healthy to perform well on the honeymoon!Flavia was relieved to see her eager son understanding. "Okay. Carol is already comforted thanks to Pete. And since the wedding will be at your future father-in-law's ceremony, t
Caroline enters Rocha Mansion with a triumphant smile.Hector greets her at the entrance. "Good afternoon, Miss Rocha. How was the entrance exam?""I'm confident that I'll pass, Hector. Thank you very much for your concern." Caroline winks at the butler.Hector smiles gently. "It's not a matter of concern. I know that you will ace it.""Thank you, Hector. I really need good vibes."Melissa appears from the living room. "I hear voices... Oh, it's you, daughter. Was the entrance exam very difficult?""Many questions, Mother. The essay was tough." Caroline sighs and pretends to be tired after running a triathlon.Melissa hugs her daughter. "Soon, we'll have our daughter coming out on top in the overall results.""I'll settle for first place in Journalism." Caroline smiles happily, "I don't want people to think that Aunt Maggie is putting me in Maggiezine out of favoritism or nepotism."Melissa releases the hug and shakes her index finger. "Don't think that way. You are a smart young lady
