CHAPTER THREE: Dr. Vega

“Phoebe!” A guy immediately went to the little girl who fell on the ground while she was running towards him.

The guy helped the little girl to stand up and asked “are you alright?” you can see the worry on the guy’s face.

The little girl smiled at the guy and nodded her head stating that she was fine. The little girl’s eye was watery because of the wounds in her knee, she was hurt.

“But why do you look like you're about to cry?” The guy said with a worried and teasing tone. The guy is older than the little girl in just a few years.

“Bro-Brother… sniff sniff” The little girl who is trying so hard not to cry, cried so much in the arm of the guy. She tried her best not to cry and act bravely but her so-called brother just teases her.

“I thought you were fine?” he smirked when he said that. He somewhat loved to tease the little girl. “Well I know you are hurt, so don’t act bravely in front of me okay!” he said while he puts his hand in her head and pats her.

…

“Mhnn…” Phoebe woke up from her slumber, she had a good night's sleep after her nightmare. And it was the first time after so long.

After she tried to sit down she saw a silhouette of a guy looking at the window. The guy looked at her and smiled brightly when he saw Phoebe woke up. “You are awake!” he said.

Kyle went to the couch. He didn’t dare try to walk close to her because of her situation. He was afraid that he would scare her if he tried to go near her.

“When I went inside, I saw you sleeping… so I just wait for you,” Kyle said with a warm smile. He always visits Phoebe every time he has time to see if Phoebe was okay.

Phoebe just looked at the guy leisurely sitting on the couch. She was a bit annoyed to see him every time she woke up. ‘It’s still early in the morning but you are here! Do have work!’ That is what she wanted to say but she still couldn’t.

But she was still improving, because of psychological trauma and mental illness, and about the accident, the doctor said that it is normal that she was afraid to talk to others but it’s only temporary.

“I talked to some nurse and I just knew that you have a problem and couldn’t speak… I thought you were annoyed at me, that is why you are not talking to me whenever I talk to you” Kyle said he was smiling but his eyes looked so sad.

‘Bullseye’ she thought, she was annoyed that she wanted to tell him to leave but too bad she couldn’t talk to him that is why he is still there sitting on the couch.

…

Kyle who is talking and telling a story about his last vacation in the mountain for almost an hour was interrupted by the knock on the door. “Dr. Cruz! Dr. Cloud is looking for you; he needs you right now…” The nurse said.

Alfred looked at the clock “Right! I forgot, tell Dr. Cloud! I will be right there!” He said while he stood up. He looked at Phoebe, he was enjoying telling the story to Phoebe at the moment but he needs to do a very important job that he needs to leave immediately. He bid farewell to Phoebe and immediately walked out of the room.

When he left Mother of Phoebe, Ophelia went inside. She was carrying a bouquet of lavender rose. Lavender rose was Phoebe’s favorite flower, she loves the color of it. She also likes the meaning of the flower.

“Seems like your friend Dr. Cruz visited you again,” she said with a smile on her face. She was happy that someone would visit her daughter. She and his husband can’t always visit her because of work. While his brother is busy studying from another city.

“OH! Today is the day of your check-up right I almost forgot” her mother said. She was so busy at work that she almost forgot that Dr. Vega would be coming today for Phoebe’s check-up.

Ophelia gets some apples on the counter. “Do you want some apple, I peel some for you” she starts peeling the apple, she knew that Phoebe won’t say a word or make a reaction about it. But whenever she peels some fruit for Phoebe, Phoebe would always eat it.

…

It was the time Dr. Vega came inside the room where Phoebe was. “Are you doing alright, Miss Phoebe?” Dr. Vega said when he went inside. “Mrs. Callisto you are here!” Dr. Vega greeted Ophelia.

“Dr. Vega” Ophelia greeted Dr. Vega. She was standing on the side talking to her daughter when Dr. Vega and a nurse knocked and went inside the room.

Dr. Vega starts the check-up. He walked towards Phoebe who was afraid of people, that is why when he was near Phoebe, Phoebe just started to tremble.

After looking and examining Phoebe, Dr. Vega leisurely walked to the couch to sit down. He starts asking a question to Phoebe and so on.

…

It lasts for half an hour, after that Dr. Vega talked to Ophelia about Phoebe and her medication.

“I think your daughter is slowly improving,” Dr. Vega said with a smile. Dr. Vega is not always at the hospital. So there is a scheduled time for check-ups.

“It only needs time and effort, just trust your daughter and support her” Dr. Vega added. Ophelia starts to tear up when she hears that her daughter is improving.

“Thank you! Dr. Vega” she said, she was thankful because her daughter was improving. She promised herself that she will never abandon her daughter and will always be there by her side. She was thankful that her daughter was fighting and trying everything she could.
