But my mind snapped back. What was she doing with that doctor?I thought about going after them, but thinking better of it, I knew who could help me find out what was going on.I went back to the doctor's office and spoke to the secretary.“Mr. Oliver, I'm glad you came back, look.” She showed me a paper. “This one wasn't signed.”“Alright,” I signed it. “Here.” I handed it back. “Rafaela, right?”“Yes.” She smiled shyly.“I just saw Dr. Tácio leaving with a woman in his car, is she his girlfriend?”“Oh, the woman you must have seen is Aurora. She works here with us, but she's not the doctor's girlfriend. He just helps her because of the pregnancy.”“Pregnancy?” I asked, confused.“Yes, she's pregnant.”A storm of emotions rose in my chest. Aurora was pregnant? How? Was that why the doctor had been so excited earlier, holding Noah, saying he couldn't wait to have his own child?Was he helping her because he had gotten her pregnant?“I know Aurora, she's a great person. She worked for

After seeing Aurora's huge belly, I felt that Saulo was right. Those babies were my children. I was so happy, but I noticed that her eyes were frightened when she asked me to come into her house. Then, I found out that her fear was Liana.After I spoke about Liana's death, I saw relief on her face. Thank God all this tension was resolved! Aurora talked about how she got the job at the doctor's office and how Tácio helped her, but I noticed she was hiding some things. I think that doctor had ulterior motives with her...However, I pushed that thought out of my mind. Whatever it was, I knew she had not reciprocated, and now that I had found her, I would take care of everything.“Take only what you think is necessary and important for you. Don't worry about the rest, we'll donate it to those who really need it.”“I want to take these little clothes I bought for their going-home outfit, and these gifts here. I can't donate what I received with so much love.”“Alright, I understand,” I sai

At last, the day of Noah's surgery arrived. I was nervous, I won't deny it, but at the same time hopeful. I felt that Aurora's reappearance was a good omen, that some divine sign from heaven was trying to calm my heart and tell me that everything would be alright.“Please, Oliver, I want to go with you!” Aurora insisted, but I had spoken with the doctor who was following her pregnancy, and he explained her real condition to me—she had to remain on absolute rest.“Not at all. You will stay here and rest. I will keep you informed about everything that happens.”“I'll get there and sit quietly in my corner. I won't leave or walk anywhere, I promise!”“My God, Aurora, when did you become so stubborn?”“Since the day you gave me space.” She smiled shamelessly, picking up her bag.“Let me carry that, stubborn girl. And you'd better stay quiet indeed, or I'll send you back to the hotel.”We walked down the hallway until we spotted Saulo, who didn't look good at all.“What happened?” I asked,

After twenty days, we were on the plane, heading back to the farm. Noah was already well. After returning to Tácio, he had removed the protector from his eyes, and he was very excited in Saulo's arms. What worried me a little was Denise, since I thought they would be together at the farm, but no—only she had returned.The boys were up to date with all their exams and vaccines. Gael had been born first, and he was very sleepy, while Henri stayed with his eyes wide open, attentive to everything. Noah, who had that little face as if he didn't understand anything, just stared at the boys and kept wanting to grab them.When we arrived at the farm, I felt a mix of emotions. I missed that place so much. I had left as one person and returned as a completely different one.I opened the door, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Alice in the living room with Isa and Denise.“Rora!” When she saw me, she ran toward me, but stopped halfway, walking very slowly, and started speaking. “Isa said I

The two stayed in Brazil to attend Oliver and Aurora's wedding, since they were the best man and maid of honor. Everything was very simple and beautiful, as Aurora had requested—she wanted only the people who had been most important in her life. Even so, three little boys wearing suits stole the show.A week after their friends' wedding, they decided to travel.On the plane, Denise felt comfortable and happy. It was good to be on vacation, especially after everything that had happened with Oliver and Aurora. As she thought about the future, Denise considered taking a break and enjoying her fiancé and her family. She would return to the studies she had paused, since the village emergency clinic would be expanded, and she wanted to be one of the nurses, while Aurora would become the doctor in the future.She also thought about all the things waiting for her, and the surprises that would happen in the place she was heading to. She would get to know a different country, a different cultur
