"Boss," Balthazar said as he answered the call.  "Have you already given the phone to Celestine?" Vincent asked as he was shaving. His phone is on a loudspeaker, resting on the side of the sink.  "Yes, Boss," he immediately answered.  "How come she's not answering my calls? Didn't I tell you to accompany her to the mall to go shopping this morning?"  "She doesn't feel good, Boss. So she choose to just rest inside of her room," he reasoned.  After shaving, Vincent wiped his chin using a clean towel then he picks his phone from the sink.  "Why, what happened?" Vincent asked as he walk out of the bathroom.  "She didn't explain what she really feel, Boss. All I know is she's not feeling good." "Alright. Just let her rest and if she needs anything, give or do it immediately." "Copy that, Boss," Balthazar said.  Vincent ended the call and throw his phone on the bed. He's

"Oh, shoot," the young boy said as his ball dropped to the sea. From where Celestine is standing, she could somehow know the age of the boy and she thinks that he must be above five years old.  Her lips formed a smile as she saw the frown on the boy's face. She run towards the sea and went down on it to reach the ball that has been weightless when it touches the sea; letting the breeze and the water take him wherever it wants to.  She swims as the ball starts to go further and further until her feet wasn't touching the sea bed anymore. She looked back at the boy that was now no longer on the seashore. She was torn between going after the ball or going back to the seashore but before she could even think of a decision, her legs becomes numb because of the cold temperature of the water.  "No, no, no, not now," she said to herself as she try to swim back to the seashore however, she can't feel her legs.  Celestine started to panic. No

"Are you relative of the patient?" Dr. Suarez asked when he get out of the emergency room and found Sophia in the waiting area.  She hastily left her seat and approached the doctor.  "I am uh, h-her friend," she answered the doctor.  Dr. Suarez nodded his head. "Okay. It was nice seeing you again after so long, Miss Sophia."  She creased her forehead, shocked and a bit confused about how and why the doctor knows about her.  "H-How did you know me?" she asked.  The doctor put his hand inside his pocket and speak. "She's fine now. However, we still need to monitor her condition and she needs to undergo some tests to see if any complications occur because of what happened." Instead of answering her, the doctor explained Celestine's condition, obviously trying to avoid answering her question.  "How long will it take for her to recover?" Sophia asked as she was trying to act like she didn't

"Boss," Sebastian greeted as he entered the room. He carefully put the tray on the bedside table and he stand near it as he look at Vincent that was still intently looking at Celestine.  The nurses moved Celestine to another room since she is now in stable condition. Vincent never leaves her side the whole time; before the nurses move her to another room and even after they successfully put her in the hospital bed.  "Boss, this is your lunch—" "I'm not hungry. I told Balthazar that I don't want anyone entering this room," Vincent gruffly said while still looking at Celestine as he squeeze her hand from time to time.  Sebastian lowered his gaze. "My apologies, boss. But you need to eat. Your health is also part of our concern—" "Leave," Vincent empathically said.  "Boss—" "I said leave. I didn't tell anyone to give me food nor did I tell them to let anyone enter this room without my permission." Vincent raise

Vincent closed his eyes and the next thing he knew was the night sky behind Celestine's hospital room curtain. He put both of his hands on either side of his pocket and close the curtains once again. He just woke up from a deep slumber and the first thing he do was to look at Celestine and call her doctor to know if there is an improvement in her condition but like what the doctor said earlier, all they are hoping for is for Celestine to wake up and from there they will figure out everything else. Vincent hasn't eaten anything yet and it's already night when his stomach made a gurgling sound, he's not surprised anymore. He walked towards Celestine's bed and pick his phone on her bed. He opened it and dialed Nicholas' number. "Boss," Nicholas greeted as he answered the call. "Order a meal for me and all of you," Vincent said as he was glancing at Celestine. "Copy that, Boss." He ended the call and put his phone back on top of Celestine's bed before he sat again on the chair. It
