At General Hospital, Daryl is bedridden, being treated by Dr. Braggart.
“The bleeding has stopped, Mr. Mountain. You need to rest for a few days because of the broken rib. Thankfully, we won’t need surgery for correction and stanching.” The doctor winks at him.
Daryl was about to sigh, but the movement makes his ribs hurt, “Ouch... I’ll have to breathe carefully.”
“Only for now. I’ll send a nurse to give you a pain reliever.”
Beto was nearby, “Thanks, doc. Looks like if it weren’t for Josias’s secretary, the friend here could have something worse.”
“How strange, I didn’t expect the people of Mr. Rocha was of this violent strain. OK, I need to see other patients.”
Doctor Braggart retires.
Daryl looks at Beto gratefully, “Roberto, I appreciate you taking me here.”
“You don’t have to thank me.” Beto gesture

There are tons of computer viruses coming from adult sites.” Eugenio blushed to the roots of his hair. “That bastard son of Josias must be his worst regret.” Eugenio closed the door before expressing what was stuck deep inside him. Luís smiled slightly, agreeing. “He’s downstairs, taking care of the receptionists and bellboys like old times.” Eugenio cleared his throat before continuing, “Luís, what do you intend to do regarding the front-page story in the newspaper?” “I need to handle a few matters first,” Luís replied in a dark tone.

Give me that pastry, please.” Neilton served the pastry but teased, “Does your wife know you’re eating cheese and ham?” “That stays between us.” Beto chuckled.
