Julian and Jay (maria) drove to the hospital. One of the best hospital Philippines.
Where the best surgeon, doctors, psychiatrists, Any department.
All only experts. Nothing less.
Professional.
Jay didn't speak to Julian throughout the drive.
Do you think she was scared?
No, Rather nervous
bcoz somehow Julian helped her out.
Her problem with psychiatrists.
They reached in 30mins
The hospital wasn't crowded.
Not like the other hospitals.
This was special.
It was a place only the riches knew. They can only get in with membership.
When Jay heard abt her mother's case she couldn't hide herself from the fear anymore.
She didn't want to run
Instead,
This time
She stayed and decided to fight it!

Keigan's pov:
I was there at the hospital with honey. Kuya had school
He couldn't come with me.
I was waiting to get called.
Yes.
Kuya told me to a psychiatrist bcoz I almost got out of control trying to kill keiren.
I agreed. Bcoz I didn't want to hurt anyone.
But.....
Kuya has been happy these days a lot.
He wasn't at home at night.
I knew he goes to Jay's place secretly and honestly... she's not that bad.
She reminds us like mom.
I heard some footsteps a bit further away.
When I turned
I saw Jay with Oliver
What is she doing here. This department is for psychiatrist patients.
And why is she with Oliver?
I wouldn't lie he is scary. But one thing reminded
At least according to James
Oliver was not used to be this cold. He was easy to approach.
But as far as I know people fear him. They think infinite times before they even speak to him.
When kuya wanted help for his inheritance with him. I thought Oliver would disagree.
But he didn't. I was surprised
I nudged honey. She turned to the way I was looking
"Wait, Isn't that Jay and The crown prince what the hell are they doing her" she whispered.
I saw Dr. Flores talking to them.
What the-
Dr. Flores is a very renowned doctor. She didn't care abt money. Her expertise are way too good. Getting appointment with her is not very easy. She doesn't help easy. As far as I know she only has limited patients per day.
Kuya tried many times to get appointment with her but failed.
Terrible.
I saw Jay and Oliver walk in.
Curiosity killed me like the phase "curiosity kills the cat"
I approached a nurse Honey beside me
As curious as me.
"Umm...excuse me" I called out to the nurse
Nurse: yes sir. is something wrong.
I pointed out toward Jay and Oliver asking what are they doing here.
Nurse: hmm.... we are not exactly suppose to tell but Ms. Anderson and Mr. Blackwood are both patients here. And Dr. Flores is attending them for year.
"Isn't this the first time for doctor Flores here" ,i asked with curiosity
Nurse: well yes, but she has been their personal doctor for 1 year. As far as I know they both are special to doctor Flores. Sir I cannot give more information than this sorry.
I watched the nurse walk away. I was wondering whether to call kuya.
Dr. flores had walked away asking for few mins Oliver and Jay were chatting something I didn't hear.
Can't lie... but the distance was huge.
I called kuya.
On call:
Keifer: keigan is something wrong. Are you ok?
His voice was worried
Keigan: no. I'm fine. I just called to let you know I saw Jay.
I didn't know why. But.... I just called him
Keifer: I'm coming now!
I stared at the black screen.
The nurse called out Jay and Oliver. I watched them go Inside.
I was called next.

Author's pov:
With Jay (maria) and Julian
Dr: long time no see maria and Julian
They nodded
"Indeed" Julian answered voice calm.
Dr: well let's start with you Maria. Let's continue from our previous session. We just talked normally. This time let's move further. Do you want Julian to stay.
Maria looked at Julian
Then at Dr. Flores. She nodded
Dr: Are afraid???
She asked calmly
Maria nodded
Flora Just smiled.
Dr: Now tell me about Maria. Not the name. The person.
Maria hesitated.
"I... don't know who she is anymore."
Dr. Flores leaned slightly forward.
"I never really felt loved growing up. I always felt like I was... extra doll. Like I existed, but I wasn't wanted. I thought maybe if I good, if I didn't cause trouble, maybe someone would finally look at me and choose me, perhaps love me. I was abused. My mom wasn't there to protect. I waited for her. Even though I had friends. You know abt my entire story with Julian. you knew my relationship..... you know we broke up bcoz of our siblings. You know the rest of us. All of us were separated from each other like our feelings didn't matter. I got into fights after that I wasn't myself. I was later transferred to new school"
Maria paused.
" When I transferred to HVIS... I thought I found a family. I started to treat my friends like my own family. They weren't blood, but they felt real. They laughed with me. Protected me. I believed in them. I thought they believed me. I thought they were family."
Her breathing was starting to get uneven slowly.
"But then I found out they had a plan. They were using me... to get to my brother."
"That must have felt like betrayal." Dr. Flores pitied but said with voice steady.
Maria laughed
"More like they proved me at that time I was never meant to be loved" Maria claimed.
Maria: I found out I'm an illegitimate child. My entire existence is a scandal. I wasn't supposed to happen.
Dr. Flores: how did you feel.
Maria: Disgusted and shame.
Tears rolled down
Dr. Flores: children internalize adult failures. It is a survival mechanism. If you believe you are the problem, you feel in control. If others are the problem, the world feels unsafe.
Maria nodded.
Dr. Flores: Do you ever hear internal voices that feel separate from your own thoughts??
