But he's fine: really bad is the grandfather of a girl who does not give peace for the bad news. Antonio is sorry and tries to console her by offering to exchange the medical records so the old man, discovering he is healthy, will die happy. She accepts, and at the same time falls in love with Antonio who, wanting to have fun with her, sends the clinic record in accounting to lend him the money from the board immediately.
