Heal My Heart (Dream Team Series#1)

=15=

I knocked on the door of Chairman's office. He told me to come in.

"Good Morning, Chairman." Nag-bow ako to show respect.

"Walang maganda sa morning ko, Pangilinan! My grand daughter is missing!" Minasahe nya ang sintido nya.

My lips slightly parted. I thought she was on leave?

"Lucas..."

Her voice sounded so small.

"How are you? Sorry, I didn't ask permission to get your number." I slightly chuckled.

"It's okay." I can imagine her small smile.

She sighed and then silence resurfaced.

"Are you okay?" Tanong ko.

"H-huh? Oo naman!" She faked a laugh.

Napailing ako. Ang dali nyang basahin. Kahit di ko sya nakikita.

"Just know that you can lean on me." I tried to console her.

"Sana.. ginawa mo yan dati pa." I heard her sarcastic laugh.

Naguguluhan ako. What did she mean?

"What?" Tanong ko.

"Ah, wala. Basta." Tumawa sya.

Alam kong pilit nyang pinapasaya ang sarili nya.

"Magli-leave nga pala ako. Kaya.. pag may naghanap sa'kin, sabihin mo na nag-leave ako, ah?"

"Noted, doktora." Pagbibiro ko.

Tumawa sya ng slight at nagpaalam na.

Tumungo ako. Why did she lie? Ayaw nya bang magpahanap?

"I want you to.. go find her." Chairman Guzman couldn't look me in the eyes.

"How about Peter? He's courting her, I think, hindi ba dapat sya ang maghanap kay Doktora?" Tanong ko.

It's not like I was refusing the favor.

"I need Dr. Perez here. The hospital won't function well without him and Caine." He pointed out.

Right, they were the 'best doctors' here.

"I'll try my best, Chairman." Nag-bow ulit ako at umalis na.

Where the f is she? Napre-pressure ako dahil nadagdagan nanaman ang problema ko.

I saw Peter absent-mindedly walking in the hallways. I nodded in his direction pero hindi nya ako napansin.

"Doc!" Napasigaw ang isang nurse.

Biglang natumba si Peter. Nabanga nya yung pader. Napailing ako. Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ba ako o maaawa.

Siguro.. ganyan din si Caine nung iniwan ko sya. Maybe way worse than that.

Almost one week na syang wala dito sa ospital. Everyone is trying to track her. Yung nanay nya ay umuwi galing ibang bansa para tumulong sa paghahanap.

I think she's not in good terms with her dad. Ayaw ko naman mangialam because that's personal.

"Doc, can you check on this patient? Busy pa si Doctor Perez, eh." Sabi sa'kin ng nurse sa nurse station.

Tumango ako dahil wala na rin naman akong gagawin.

Tinignan ko ang pangalan ng pasyente para i-check kung tama ba itong kuwarto na papasukan ko.
