At Andrade Clinic, night was falling outside as Walter and Linda engaged in a mission impossible.Although, for Walter, it wasn’t impossible to access the system and find out what really happened in the genetics wing.Walter stopped typing and looked at an anxious Linda. “Darling, can I ask you a question?”Linda was standing near the door. “Yes, my love.”“Are you sure you want to do this?”Linda raised her eyebrows and moved closer to him. “More than anything in life, my love.”“What will you do when you find out that Nathan is some sort of half-brother to you?” Walter asked, very worried.“Well, I’ll have to talk to Gus about it,” Linda replied without delay. “He knows.”Walter grimaced. “I hope your brother doesn’t try to solve things the way he has been regarding this fight with the Silva family.”Linda shook her head. “No, it will be different. Obviously, he won’t hold back his fists if Nathan doesn’t cooperate.”“Do you think Nathan will cause problems?” Walter turned back to t

Sheila stood up. “Listen here, Larry: I appreciate that you care about Matt as if we were already married. But Matt needs to think about the well-being of the conglomerate he has taken over.”“What does one thing have to do with the other? Didn’t he get unanimous support from the conglomerate’s board?” Karl frowned.“Yes, but some things happened that made Matt backtrack on the decision,” Sheila explained. “Elaine was getting close to Nathan to form a partnership. Can you imagine what would happen if that materialized?”Karl scratched his forehead. “I thought Nathan had given up fighting against Matt.”“When he found out about the divorce, he saw a chance. He even quit the diner,” Sheila explained.“And Matt, wanting to prevent Elaine from forming an alliance with Nathan, decided to cancel the divorce to see if she would calm down,” Karl concluded, still in disbelief.“Well, for that, Elaine will have to meet some of Matt’s demands.” Sheila smiled slightly. “She will have to publicly

Matthew swallowed hard. “Uh... okay, dear. I wasn’t involved in the first place. But of course, Patty’s parents or Jackson might want to keep me in the loop...” “Let them talk about what happened, but please, don’t get personally involved.” Elaine got up and approached him. “I would hate for the gossip to come back on social media.” Elaine placed her hand on Matthew’s shoulder, trying to convince him.****** At Andrade Clinic, Dr. Tavares held the printed DNA test, passing it to Walter and Linda. Linda took the document and started reading it. When she reached the last page, her eyes widened... “Dear, what did you find out?” Walter asked, concerned. “It’s true, dear...” Linda replied, her voice choked. “Bella and Nathan... they are half-siblings!” Dr. Tavares felt embarrassed by the reaction, not expecting the news to be so devastating. “Uh... I think I should step out.” “Thank you for everything, Dr. Tavares.” Walter turned to him, looking serious. “Don’t worry; I’ll take f

At Andrade Clinic, Walter and Linda were saying goodbye with one last hug.“I wanted to take you behind the chestnut trees,” Walter said in a mischievous tone. “You need a distraction.”Linda smiled seductively. “It’s a tempting option, but I don’t think I’m in the mood to have fun after what I found out.”“Linda, you’ll get through this. Count on me.” Walter brushed his hand across her face.“It’s funny how Nathan showed up to get the test results with Elaine, not with Bella. Is he also recruiting Matthew’s ex-wife for his revenge plan?”Walter narrowed his eyes. “Well, that could be a possibility. I need to tell Matthew all of this tomorrow.”“In the meantime, I have to face my family, or my mother.” Linda sighed, disappointed with what she had discovered.“Do you think it’s Nathan who has the Alvares blood?” Walter asked jokingly.“I think so. And I also suspect that Gustavo knows about it. He must have noticed my mother showing up pregnant.” Linda narrowed her eyes.“It could be B

Karl reacted in disbelief upon hearing Sheila say that ‘Larry’ acted in bed with her just like her late husband. That was a detail Karl had completely overlooked. “Dear, how could you compare me to your late husband? That sounds very offensive, forgive my honesty!” “Stop it, KARL!” Sheila became even more irritated. “Enough with the lies! You don’t just resemble him, you ARE him! You’re not Lawrence Vieira, YOU ARE MY HUSBAND!” “Why did you come to that absurd conclusion?” Karl scratched the back of his neck, buying time. “A woman knows her husband,” Sheila simply replied. Karl muttered ‘damn’ under his breath. Sheila’s eyes began to fill with tears. “Why, Karl? WHY?” “Sheila, you’re—” “Don’t call me crazy!” Sheila yelled. “I could sneak into your bathroom and take a strand of your hair for a DNA test, but I preferred to confront you and hear the truth from your mouth!” Karl was even more startled by the possibility of Sheila acting like a spy. “Why did you think that?” He
