After months of illness, Emma slowly began to recover. Charles was relieved and devoted himself to her care, taking her to the theater in Rouen to lift her spirits. He hoped that this change of scenery would help her forget her sadness.
Após meses de doença, Emma começou a recuperar lentamente. Charles ficou aliviado e dedicou-se a cuidar dela, levando-a ao teatro em Rouen para a animar. Esperava que esta mudança de cenário a ajudasse a esquecer a sua tristeza.
In Rouen, Emma met Leon again by chance. The lawyer had also moved to the city, and the two were reunited. Emma was surprised to find that her feelings for Leon were as strong as they had been before.
Em Rouen, Emma encontrou Léon novamente por acaso. O jovem advogado também se mudara para a cidade, e os dois reencontraram-se. Emma ficou surpresa ao descobrir que os seus sentimentos por Léon eram tão fortes quanto antes.
Leon had matured during their years apart, but his feelings for Emma had not changed. He still loved her and regretted that he had never expressed his love when they had met in Yonville. Emma, seeking comfort and romance, responded to his attention.
Léon amadurecera nos anos em que estiveram separados, mas os seus sentimentos por Emma não tinham mudado. Ainda a amava e lamentava nunca ter expressado o seu amor quando se conheceram em Yonville. Emma, à procura de conforto e romance, correspondeu à atenção dele.
Seeing Leon gave Emma a new sense of hope. Perhaps her life was not destined to be boring and empty after all. She began to imagine a new romance that would finally bring her the happiness she had always desired.
Ver Léon deu a Emma uma nova esperança. Talvez a sua vida não estivesse destinada a ser aborrecida e vazia, afinal. Começou a imaginar um novo romance que finalmente lhe traria a felicidade que sempre desejara.
