Isabel puts the bag of bread on the table and pulls out a chair to sit on. Harold and Uélton remain standing.
"A cardiac arrest, to Seu Teodoro?" Harold questions in surprise.
"They say it's because of yesterday's wedding," Isabel explains.
"Has he been to the hospital yet?" Uélton asks.
"Yes, they found him early in the morning. Poor old man, he must have passed out at night, with no one around, or early in the morning." Isabel chooses a loaf of bread to butter.
Harold joins his wife for breakfast. "I hope that's what it was. Otherwise, he can't survive if he suffered this stoppage last night."
Uélton decides not to have breakfast now. "Excuse me, guys. I need to see if Josias is aware of this already!"
Uélton leaves the house in a rush. Isabel and Harold have coffee in a funereal atmosphere.

He is still standing beside the pastor, only pausing to continue: “We know that my friend Teodoro's last days have been turbulent, with some matters left unfinished. In honor of the memory of my friend and symbolic father, I will resolve the troubling matters."Beto smiled widely and his eyes sparkled.
