Chapter 9



NARRATION

"Father, how are you?" the woman greeted his father as the old man step into the porch of the house

"I am fine my dear, anyway how are you?" he ask back, the woman said that she's fine and that she might have a lead of his grandson returning from another country.

"I have a good news to you too" the old man said, despite being the age of 85, he is still as strong as a 50 years old.

"What is it father?" she ask

"I saw your son yesterday night" he said and the woman's eyes widen.

"Where? how is he?" she ask frantically

"He is fine and is a great man, however, we got a problem" he said, she then tear her eyes as she ask what is the problem with her son that he was not able to communicate with his family for the past 10 years.

"A friend of mine said that he got an amnesia and that he can not remember anything from his past aside from living in another country" he said, and there she burst out crying.

"Do not be sadden, he is looking for you himself, let us wait and he might have a lead to where you are now" the old man added, still the mother cried as she is worried, for 10 years that they can't find him, because all information concerning his son is unavailable, he did not say where he work, where he live. They tried contacting the number but it won't push through, they even went to that country trying to look for him but because it was a foreign one they cannot find any lead of his whereabouts.

"And this is the other one" the old man said and pointed the phone on the article.

"He is the Chairman of Xuan Medical Hospital" he said

"Then" she utter

"I know, I know, but you cannot just say that you're his mother, he cannot remember us so it might become a huge problem if you do that" he explained,

"You know that the life of high society is very problematic, we cannot just say that you got amnesia and I am your mother" he added.

Just like what the old man wanted to say, being in high society with high standing, once you discover that you got an amnesia many people might take credit and use the opportunity to extort and use the person. The mother understood what her father wanted to say.

"Do not worry dear, I'll try talking to Sanderson and ask for help, just be patient" the old man added and his daughter hug him tightly giving him thanks like there is no tomorrow.

Being a mother, maybe not everyone around the world but millions of them wanted their children to live a wondrous life, watching them grow and protecting them since their childhood, no mother can endure watching their kids die, nor hurt them in the process of growing. Whatever crimes a child do, a mother will side their child as long as they can see that their kid still has hope of changing and repenting. Maybe a mother can say the harshest word, but it is for their child's own good and their growth to be mature and be understanding.

As the news continue to circulate, a friend of Kyle was able to enter the event hall last time and saw Ezekiel, he knew it was him cause the resemblance to the photo in Kyle's phone were the same. As the party ended he tried calling Kyle but it was out of reach. He decided to meet him afterwards, the things that torment his friend for so many years is now getting answered. But he wonder how they will approach a man who holds a high status at the Xuan Medical Hospital.

END OF NARRATION

"Come on, why don't you just sit down and let the team do their job" Joel grumble as he push me down to my swivel.

"You know that I don't like sitting around and reading papers" I replied, we were discussing on who will take charge with the bone marrow transplant, and of course I presented myself but Sanderson decline and let the other surgeon do the job, stating that I have a lot of papers to sign. I do have those but Sierra can just organize them first before signing.

"No! you will not go to the operating room" he added and brings me the booklet of the hospital where the financial statements are recorded.

"Here, read and analyze everything" he utter, he even opened the book himself and pointed to the equipment purchased by the hospital a year ago. An automated surgical machine for laparoscopic surgery, wait what is this? why would they need to buy a machine for this type of surgery? Who made it, let me check. Then the next thing I knew I already indulge myself in reading the whole thing that hinders me from going to the operating room. Sanderson continue to watch over me as he also help reading some files, on the other hand Sierra continue to pile the papers on the other side of my table, sheesh I think I need to finish everything today.

Habang ginagawa ko ang trabaho ko ay biglang tumawag si James sa aking telepono, ibinigay ko sa kanya ang number ko upang dito na lamang niya ako tawagan kapag meron siyang importanteng sasabihin.

"Sir" bati nito pagkasagot ko sa kanyang tawag.

"Yes?" sagot ko at bigla naman niyang ipinaliwanag ang kanyang mga sasabihin.

Mayroon na siyang impormasyon patungkol sa mga pinapahanap ko sa litrato na nasa aking cellphone, Collinson, mula sa angkan ng Collinson ang mga tao na pinapahanap ko at ayon sa kanya ay mayroon silang isang anak na matagal na nilang hinahanap. Ayon pa kay James, ay hindi nila malaman laman ang lokasyon ng isa nilang anak sapagkat hindi nito pinaalam kung saan siya nakatira o kung saan siya nagtatrabaho. Napatayo ako sa aking kinauupuan at tumawag naman ito sa atensiyon sa dalawang kasama ko sa loob.

"Do you have their address?" tanong ko sa kanya at sumagot naman siya agad ng Oo, nangingilid ang luha ko, hindi ko man sila maalala pero, iba sa pakiramdam na magkakaroon na ng kasagutan ang lahat ng mga katanungan sa isip ko.

"Joel, can I excuse myself?" sabi ko kay Sanderson at tinanong niya ako kung bakit, at sinabi ko ang mga natuklasan ni James.

"Then go, we can manage it here" sabi niya at ngumiti, binigyan pa niya ako ng isang mabilis na yakap sabay hampas sa aking balikat ng marahan upang bigyan ako ng sinyales na umalis na upang makita ko ang mga matagal ko nang hinahanap.
