Finally his flagging spirits get the best of him and he goes to the coast to rest. Unfortunately, she shows up. Their love making is so violent that he has a heart attack. While safely recovering in the hospital he finds out that she is at last pregnant. Now that she has what she wanted, she totally ignores him.

Nothing could make him happier and he ends up spending his last days in a maid's quarters enjoying the peace and solitude.
