2021-06-05 19:08:02Romualdo's warning was right. Carmen, as soon as she left the cafeteria, went to the nearest bus stop, and when the first bus arrives, she signals desperately for him to stop. After she arriving Downtown, she bursts into the hospital practically passing over everyone.
"Miss, it's not visiting time yet!" A receptionist tries to contain her.
Carmen runs like American comedy movies, dodging doctors and nurses. Upon entering Pamela's room, she slams the door shut.
"Who got you pregnant, Pam?"
Pamela bounces on the hospital bed, even hurting her plastered leg.
"Careful, Carmen, I'm recovering!"
Carmen approaches with hatred in her eyes. "I want to know at once who it was that got you pregnant! I paid the greatest shame accusing Josias and he told me categorically that it wasn't him!"
Pamela returns the machine-gun look to Carmen. Damn it! Why did Carmen go to where it was not her business?
Pamela intended to wait to return home, rec

Melissa narrows her eyes even more. Carmen had asked for secrecy on the subject of pregnancy, but now Josias is repeating the story. How did he find out about that?"Was that the story she was telling me before I showed up?" Josias asks, also with a cold face."My love, Carmen had asked me to keep the secret. How did you find out?" Melissa asks instead of answering directly."She showed up just yesterday, making the biggest scandal and slapping me twice. She insinuated that I was the father." Josias shakes hands to Melissa, "But, that is a lie, dear! I love you, I would not suffer as much to have you as a girlfriend as I suffered for right after cheating on you, and even more so with your best friend!""No, of course not," Melissa has a strange expression, "if you were to betray me, it would be with a completely unknown person; so that I won't find out so easily."Josias is startled. That was not what he meant."You are distorting what I sai

Contrary to what Josias said, he was not going home but was going to the hospital, for the correct visiting hours. So he would not be shamefully expelled as happened to Carmen.As soon as he entered the room, Pamela dared to smile. But, the smile didn't last long when Pamela saw that Josias remained rough and cold.Josias approaches menacingly and Pamela feels shivers down her spine. "Do you still smile when you know exactly what I came to talk about?""Don't do anything stupid, or I'll scream for help!" Pamela speaks with fear, "My sister was kicked out of here without ceremony.""I bet she gave you a well-deserved concealer." Josias is not intimidated."Say what you want and get out of here, this is a place of rest and recovery." Pamela looks away."Do you want to tell me why you lied to your sister that I was the father of your stillborn baby?" Josias asks, the words coming out laden with contempt.Pamela just smiles wryly, not car
Building My Life Chapter 123 Back Home
A week goes by. Monday is Pamela's day back to Happiness Slum.It was with great displeasure that Pamela received the news from Dr. Silvana that she would be discharged the next day. And it was with great embarrassment that Pamela received a sheet of paper, on it was written a referral from the doctor to the Gynecology sector; so that Pamela could better deal with this unusual situation of the interrupted pregnancy.The doctor wanted to make sure that Pamela's reproductive system had not suffered permanent trauma, but Pamela was so terrified that she kept the paper in the bottom of her trouser pocket and did not tell Mrs. Chaves about it.The cast of the leg was removed, but it was agreed that Pamela would continue to be careful as she steps, leaning on crutches when she is at home. A girl named Abigail was hired by Tiago to be the nurse and help Pamela, especially with the stairs.Tiago took Pamela home, and he was trying to cheer her up with the prospec

After they finished talking, Josias and Uélton decide to leave, since they have nothing else to do in Tiago's new house. They go to the sidewalk and admire the fully built house. The single-stored house with colonial roof tile and a wall made of blocks has nothing to do with the other rectangular and dull houses that surround it. It looks like someone took this house from Saint Gabriel and put it there."Man, it is good for Mr. Bento to put an alarm system in this house; otherwise it will be robbed every day." Uélton, as always, makes jokes about everything."Do you think he doesn't think about that? Whoever has a nice house in this place, unfortunately, catches the attention of a thug. So there's no use for us to have a better life in here." Josias concludes with a regretful tone, "That's why I want to raise my family in another neighborhood. I intend to talk to Melissa about it.""Well, I'm going home." Uélton pulls Josias by the shirt, "D

Wallace is annoyed to see his feelings exposed by his younger brother. Was he that obvious?"Stop, Uélton, for Christ's sake!" Wallace pleads, "Why does everything have to be taken as a joke?""Life is too boring to be taken seriously, brother!" Uélton stops laughing. "We are going to dinner, and you apologize to Josias."Wallace is alarmed and reacts like a cornered animal. "Wow, what do you mean? Apologize to Josias? He's the one who has to apologize; not me! How about Melissa?""Stop that idea, brother, I put my hand on the fire and I swear that Josias was not cheating on Melissa, especially with Pamela! It's something so easy to discover.""Ah, so the problem is to be found out, is that why Josias doesn't risk sleeping with Pamela?" Wallace's voice is filled with irony.Uélton, in a rare fit of seriousness, crosses his arms and glares at Wallace. "Listen here, my brother: I don't say that Josias is capable, but if on

The next day, Josias is having breakfast with Teodoro. Today there is no service at Tiago's house, so Josias is wearing a normal shirt and casual shorts."Son, I want to ask you something, but you don't have to accept it." Teodoro pulls out a chair and sits down, somewhat afraid to anger Josias, "I know that now you have nothing to do, so I thought you could help me tidy up the backyard. It doesn't have to be today, maybe tomorrow..."Josias smiles at him. He wanted to take the day off, and Teodoro is embarrassed to ask for this favor."You can relax, Seu Teodoro. I could help you today.""No, son, leave it for tomorrow. Today is your first day off after many months. I know very well that the mason service is strenuous, and you took that building basically from the beginning.""Uélton who was not so lucky," Josias takes a sip of coffee, "he went to the home of Tiago Bento's younger brother.

Tiago and Romualdo are gaping and amazed when they hear Josias say that he doesn't want to know about the job. What happened? "Josias," Romualdo asks after clearing his throat, "don't tell me you prefer to keep working as you are!" "If so, we will be disappointed," Tiago tries to argue. "We feel that you have the capacity to grow in life." Josias after hearing these and other attempts by the two masters to dissuade him from the idea, smiles, and gestures for them to be silent. "Gentlemen, please," Josias explains in a comical tone, "I did not come here to refuse the offer. In fact, I came here to confirm. Remember that I promised to think better." Romualdo and Tiago sigh in relief. Then they laugh at themselves for being so apprehensive. "Yes, you promised to think better." Romualdo remembers, "And you asked your friends and girlfriend." "They all approve and say that I deserve it." Josias nods, "So I decided not to disappoint
Building My Life Chapter 128 A Story With Missing Details
Pamela is trying to rest, but Mrs. Chaves, as predicted, is sewing a dress that she had not planned, but "suddenly" had the idea to make, just on the day that Pamela returned from the hospital. The deafening noise of the sewing machine seems to pierce Pamela's eardrums."VRRRUUUUUUMM!""Mom, shut up that machine!" Pamela screams louder than the machine, "Abigail said I need to rest!""Are you thinking this is a hotel?" Mrs. Chaves asks in a comical tone, but the mockery hurts Pamela's heart, "If you feel uncomfortable, go to your room."Pamela feels the urge to take one of the needles and pierce her own mother's jugular vein. How can she be so cruel and heartless? She has no other answer, Carmen must have said everything.She still did not dare to talk about it and had thrown away the medical referral to the gynecologist. Carmen had not yet shown up to her room and had not exchanged a word since she returned from the hospital. Only her father deign

At the quiet, tree-lined Ibrahim Square, Sarah sat alone on a bench, her gaze resting on an issue of the Maggiezine. She flipped through the pages, but her mind was elsewhere — clearly disconnected from whatever her eyes were scanning.Lost in thought, she barely noticed Reynaldo approaching until his voice startled her back to the present.“Sarah, thank goodness you’re safe, sound... and still a virgin!”She nearly jumped off the bench, utterly horrified by his sudden arrival — and even more so by his tactless choice of words.“What is going on with this town?” she snapped. “Is there something in the water?”“I drink charcoal-filtered water,” Reynaldo replied matter-of-factly, as if that settled the issue.“Well, good for you.” Sarah crossed her arms. “Reynaldo, can you explain to me if you have something against J.J.?”He sat down beside her, his demeanor defensive yet trying to remain calm.“I have nothing against him,” he insisted. “I met J.J. recently — when he came back ‘from th

At the Vasconcelos Fabrics headquarters, J.J. remained seated at his desk, a faintly amused smirk displaying on his lips. Across from him stood Dylan, still in his police uniform, exuding the solemn demeanor of a man trying to sort through a delicate situation.“You’ve been reported for assault, J.J.,” Dylan announced, his tone neutral but firm.J.J. didn’t flinch. “So the wuss decided to file a complaint instead of retaliating like a real man,” he replied coolly, barely looking up from his desk.Dylan’s brow furrowed. “As an officer of the law, I’m not in the business of revenge or retaliation.” His mouth curved slightly, but there was no warmth in the smile. “But I do try to understand what’s going on. According to Reynaldo, you snapped when you saw him near Sarah Paes.”At that, J.J. finally lifted his gaze, his demeanor shifting from flippant to serious. “Since you’re following in your father’s footsteps, I assume you know who Sarah is.” He paused for effect, then added gravely, “

Brigitte and Theodore were chatting animatedly in the bustling corridors of Damascene Lawyers, sidestepping lawyers and clients moving briskly through the hall.“How are your studies going, Theodore?” Brigitte asked with a warm smile.“Excellent,” he replied. “Every now and then my dad hands me a case to look over.”“Must be nice, being the boss’s son,” she teased.Theodore chuckled heartily, clearly enjoying the perks of nepotism. But as they approached Brigitte’s office, their conversation came to an abrupt halt.“I’ve been waiting for you, you little fox!” came a sharp voice from down the hall.Brigitte froze, startled by the sight of Suzy standing at her office door, arms crossed and a glare cold enough to freeze hell over.******In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Diane sat beside Felipe on the plush sofa, her demeanor gentle and maternal, despite the fact her son was a grown man.

That afternoon, the living room of the Mountain Penthouse was tense and electric. Diane stepped in, only to find her son Felipe in the middle of a heated argument with Jake Cogo. Her expression immediately twisted into one of displeasure.“Hey, what’s going on here?” she asked sharply. “Mr. Cogo, my son needs to rest.”Jake didn’t flinch. “I can see that, Mrs. Mountain. But this is urgent.”Placing her purse on the sideboard, Diane raised an eyebrow. “And what’s so important that it needs to be discussed right now?”Jake turned to her. “Felipe says he wants to break up with my sister. I have to be involved in this.”A sly, almost mischievous smile tugged at Diane’s lips. “And where is Suzy, by the way?”Jake flinched, suddenly sheepish. “Er... she went to look for investors at—”“I don’t give a damn!” Diane exploded. “Mr. Cogo—”“Jake,” he corrected quickly.“‘Jake,’ I’m deeply disappointed in the way Suzy handled this whole situation.

In the elegant living room of the Mountain Penthouse, Mary gently rocked baby Anthony in her arms. The soft rhythm of her lullaby filled the space — until the sound of the doorbell cut through the quiet.“That’s odd,” Mary murmured, her brow furrowing. “No one called from the front desk...” She approached the door cautiously and asked, “Who is it?”A voice responded from the other side. “Jake Cogo!”Mary raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Hold on a second!”Just then, Felipe emerged slowly, dressed in a white robe, walking with measured steps — the toll of his recent hospital stay still evident in his posture.“Who is it, Mary?” he asked.“Jake Cogo,” she answered, puzzled. “Cousin, weren’t you dating his sister?”Felipe grimaced, visibly annoyed by the mention.“Mary, I’m not dating Jake,” he clarified. “You better take our little cousin to his crib.”Mary gave a small smile. “Oh, Anthony’s already asleep. My lullaby must’ve been either very soothing or incredibly boring.”Felipe chuckle

At Café Montanha, Rodrigo returned from the supermarket and took a long, satisfied look around his bustling business. Customers chatted over coffee and snacks, while Neilton and the other waiters moved about swiftly and professionally, serving with ease.“Hey, Rod! What’s up?” Neilton called out with a grin.Rodrigo replied, “Neil, sometimes I envy you for not having a mountain of problems.”Laughing, Neilton shot back, “And I envy you for having a big, noisy family.”Rodrigo paused, swallowing hard. “I’m sorry.”“Nah, I’m just joking — well, maybe not. I do wish I had at least a younger brother.”Rodrigo chuckled lightly. “Whenever I need to, I talk to Veronica over video call. Anyway, I meant the problems at the supermarket.”They made their way to the counter.“Still that issue with the truck from Bezerra Farm?” Neilton asked.“That’s resolved. But now we know why it happened.” Rodrigo lowered his voice, glancing around. “Be careful with the Borges brothers. They’re not who we thou

Instead, she was surprised to see Alan there alone.She had no idea she was about to be handled like livestock on its way to the slaughterhouse.“Alan, what a surprise. What are you doing here? Where’s Sofia?” she asked.Alan leaned back with a hint of irony in his tone. “Which of those two questions should I answer?”Suzy paused, confused by the odd remark.“We need to talk, Suzy,” he continued, pushing a check across the desk.Suzy’s breath caught as she picked it up and read the staggering amount.“This check...?” she whispered.“It’s the amount you invested in Vaztrans, plus ten percent in compensation, as outlined in your contract,” Alan explained coolly.“You’re... returning my investment?” she asked, her voice tight.“Exactly. We no longer require your partnership, Miss Cogo.”Suzy’s eyes narrowed. “May I ask what this is about?”“It’s simple,” Alan said, calm but firm. “My wife believes you’re not cont

In the Vaztrans offices, William extended a freshly written check to Sofia. Standing nearby, Alan wore a solemn expression, watching the transaction with quiet attention.“Here you go, my dear partner,” William said with finality. “This is our salvation.”Sofia took the check and her eyes widened with disbelief. “The bank’s never going to cash this much for Suzy,” she muttered.William shrugged indifferently. “Then they’ll figure out another way to get the money back to her.”Alan leaned forward, trying to get a better look at the amount. “My dad’s being pretty generous, huh?”“Thank God,” Sofia said. A relieved smile crept onto her face. “Any doubts I had about being accepted into this family are gone.” She brightened, holding the check delicately. “I’m even going to text Caroline. What do you think, honey?”Alan chuckled and leaned over, placing a gentle kiss on the crown of her head. “She’ll love that.”Still serious, William interjected, “So, who’s going to break the news?”Alan’s

The revelation that criminals had used his supermarket as a stage for their schemes infuriated him.“How dare those idiots?” he barked. “And what about Leonardo? Isn’t he the top lawyer at Damascene Lawyers?”J.J. answered with a grim tone. “Apparently being a lawyer for the most prestigious firm in Lagoon City has become some sort of cover for him.”Rodrigo, firm and resolute, added, “Well, then we’ll have to tear that cover off. Brigitte and Little Theo can’t have their reputations stained.”“And let’s not forget,” J.J. continued, “my father is a client of that firm. He knows Miguel Damascene personally — he’s the current owner.”Thierry clenched his jaw. “And there’s more. My wife is Little Theo’s sister—”
