Episode 3

Helena stretches him again, she grabs a ball and places it under his legs, making them go back and forth. He makes some faces but Helena waits for him to want to stop.

She takes a five-minute break and starts again. William puts his hand on his knee, and Helena stops immediately.

Helena: Is it hurting?

William: What do you think?

Helena: Okay, let's stop. I'll help relieve the pain... massages, providing relief ...even though it hurts, you need to continue, but only if it's bearable, of course.

William: Is it over?

Helena: No, I'll give you some pain medication.

Helena writes down the name of a painkiller and hands it to Otavio. William watches as she applies a gel to his knee. He can't feel it, but he knows she is doing it gently. She applies it to his knees and feet, unlocks the wheelchair, and looks at him.

Helena: We're done for today. We'll continue tomorrow. From what I can see, no one died, Mr. William.

He leaves the room with a cold mood, and Helena tidies up her things. Otavio approaches her and holds her hands.

Otavio: Thank you so much. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this.

Helena: He'll be fine. I apologize for my words.

Otavio: You handled him well. I trust you. Thank you.

"This is my wife Juliana. Honey, this is Helena, the angel who came into our lives."

Juliana: Thank you for staying even after seeing that side of him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Helena: I'm just doing my job.

Juliana: Have lunch with us.

Helena: No thank you. I have to go. I have an appointment.

Juliana: Alright, see you tomorrow.

Helena: Goodbye.

Helena goes to her car, packs her things, and leaves.

She parks at a restaurant and goes straight to a table.

Helena: Hi.

Mateo: Hey beautiful, took you long enough.

Helena: Sorry, I was working.

Mateo: No problem, I understand. Choose what you want.

Helena looks at the menu, places her order, and shifts her attention back to him.

Mateo is a surgeon. They met at the hospital. Mateo started getting closer to her, but Helena didn't want anything. He continued to insist, surprising her and showering her with affection. Until one day, she decided to give him a chance. They have been going out for a few months; it's not a relationship, but Mateo already considers it as such.

Helena likes him. She is focused on her career and, because of that, she hasn't taken things further. She has always respected him and enjoys being with him.

Mateo: What about your vacation?

Helena: I have no idea when it'll be.

Mateo: Why don't you take your vacation with me? We can travel. I'm leaving in a few months.

Helena: If I'm done by then, we can do that, alright?

Mateo: Deal.

Want to sleep at my place tonight?

Helena: Sure.

Mateo: Great.

Helena: Pick me up at home?

Mateo: Yes. I have two surgeries to perform, so when I'm finished, I'll swing by your place.

Helena: Okay.

They have lunch and spend some more time together. Helena goes home to rest, while Mateo goes to the hospital to work.

Helena spends the afternoon resting. Helen enters her room and opens the door.

Helen: Chocolate cake... shows the plates

Helena: I want some.

Helen: How was your day?

Helena: Other than Mr. William's arrogance, it was all smooth. He has a chance of walking again.

You know, today I said some things I shouldn't have. I was rude because he didn't want the treatment and was very arrogant. I've never been like that before. I regret it.

Helen: With an excellent doctor like you, anyone would get better soon. Don't be like this. If you're sorry, apologize and lift that weight off your shoulders. Our father warned us it would be difficult.

Helena: I know, but I'm not like this. I'll take care of it tomorrow.

Helen: Is he handsome?

Helena: I don't go around judging people's looks, Helen.

Helen: Oh, come on, Helena. Is he handsome or not? You don't have to flirt to know.

Helena: Yes, he's handsome, okay? You know the Gutierrez family is good-looking.

Helen: Was his brother there?

Helena: No, he doesn't live here, right?

Helen: I thought he had already returned.

Helena: You seem very interested, don't you think?

Helen: He sent me an email saying he wanted to discuss business. I thought he had already come back.

Helena: I can already see this is going to be trouble. Behave yourself.

Helen: Haha, I will.
