Episode 7

"All right, Saulo." The doctor was extremely calm and

focused on that situation. — Caique, your recovery and your rehabilitation

won't be just physical. It will be neurological too. There will be phases and phases, that's

why I said it all depends on your effort and willpower. In

my profession, I have seen some give up when they had even better chances

than you to recover. I understand your anger, your despair, but as

a doctor, I have a duty to be very frank: there is no possibility of walking again but there are many chances to improve your quality of life, to not

depend on anyone, just yourself. Don't condition your life to

the wheelchair, but to your arms, your mind and your heart that by

some reason keeps beating. You will see the photos of where it was taken

in that accident, no one believed in your survival. — Caique didn't

take his eyes off the doctor.

"Everything I need is here?"

"Yes, the hospital is fully equipped for your rehabilitation. But if you want"

to try other methods, I will give you all the referrals.

"Will I feel pain?"

"Yes. When the spasms start, and you push your body, they"

will come too. You will be using medications that will help you in this part.

Our nutritionist is already working on your diet, even she will be

very important in everything you do. In a while, you will start

your physical therapy and you will be able to exercise and strengthen your muscles

in your arms. A psychologist will be of paramount importance to you and here at the

hospital there is already one at your disposal. We offer everything, Caique. I just need

your will. But for now, rest, assimilate everything I've said. You

woke up from a coma and I only authorized everything to be said to you because I knew that

you would perceive your legs. I would never leave you without answers. Can I ask your

sister to come in?

"Is it just her there?"

"As far as I've seen, yes."

"Your mother and brother are still coming" I said.

"I want to stay with Saulo for a while, I'll ask her to come in later."

"Okay, excuse me."

I watched the doctor close the door and looked at Caique, who was wiping his

eyes and then looked at me.

"Why did this happen to me? Why, Saulo?"

"I don't know, my friend, but the important thing is that you are alive!! And"

I think it could have been even worse. Caique, you were all crooked in the middle of

twisted iron, with several fractures and they had a hard time getting you out. Never

I will forget that scene.

"I'm never going to have anyone again" he said sadly, his eyes

filled with tears again.

"Don't think like that. I read a lot during your coma."

I even went to lectures, talked to other wheelchair users, and my friend, your

life is not over. We just need you to want to fight and eventually

adapt.

"Why did he do this? I fell in love with him, Saulo."

"That worm has already paid."

"What happened? What did you do?"

"I sued him and the newsroom. I know he lost his job. Even if"

there are people who are just waiting for reasons to humiliate others on the

internet, you gained a lot of support when I brought to light how your

privacy was exposed. A lot of people supported you. And as for the leak

that your mother had considered having you buy construction materials for the

mall, I convinced her to make a statement and we reversed all that. The construction

continues at full speed as you envisioned. Aurelio took over the Presidency

until you return and it is as if you were by his side. The shareholders

supported you too and your mother couldn't get you out of the Presidency.

"But she tried, didn't she?"

"Yes, but she lost by 13 votes in favor of your remaining against 4"

and one of the votes was hers.

"She must have wished for my death."

"Don't say that, but I give up trying to understand her. She had to watch"

a good part of the internet supporting you, your sexual orientation and condemning the

way you were outed. Famous people in that environment. The

her prejudice went down her throat burning, for sure. — A

little smile appeared on Caique's face, but it soon disappeared.

"I'm afraid of people, I can't trust anyone anymore."

"Don't even think about others now, just yourself."

"I had plans for him. And in the end I find out that I was just a news scoop."

"I did what was within my reach, but God saw everything and what is his"

is saved.

"Did the families, both Fabio's, the truck driver's and the"

van's, receive assistance?

"Fabio's, yes, all of them. But your mother didn't allow it for the others."

Especially the truck driver.

"I can't believe this."

"She said he was to blame, even though I showed that he wasn't."

It was an accident, the brakes failed. It didn't stop me in any way

form looking for them to help. Sorry.

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault."

"Do you need anything now?"

"To be alone."

"Please, Caique..."

"Just let me be alone. I just need to think and maybe sleep, I'm groggy from the medication."

"What about your sister? She loves you very much."

"I love her too, but right now I don't want to see anyone else, not even her, my mother or my brother."

"All right, my friend, rest. I will always be with you."

"I know that."
