CHAPTER 23 *BRANDON WALTER* The doctor said that Devon is now experiencing a traumatic stress. She may not tell us but she was trying to remember about what happened and will lead to flashes of memory and eventually stressed her out. “I already gave her a medicine that will calm her down.” The doctor said. “Thank you.” I said trying to calm myself. “What can we do for her... so that she won’t lose herself like that?” Dave asked, worried about her daughter. The doctor released a sigh. “Don’t leave her alone. She needs someone beside her, someone that she can trust, someone to protect her.” He said then left. We all fell into silence. I can clearly read Dave’s mind as he clenched his fists into balls. I also feel the same way. I can feel anger rising in me. My phone rang. It’s Pat.
