Chapter 10 : Self Withdrawal 6 :

As days goes by Angel remained silent, non committal to anyone. She always stared on blank space as if she didn't see nor noticed everything and everyone around her. Margarita and Edward were worried about her condition, but they can't force her to interact with them.

Margarita : doctor....... what is wrong with her ???? we were worried about her, she never speak even once, she only stared at us, but she obediently eat everything we fed her and even take her medications obediently like a child........

I'm sure that there is nothing wrong with her brain, but I'm worried with all the psychological emotions that's been building up inside from not talking and trying to hide her pain.

Doctor Glen Serrano : Right now.... she's undergoing self withdrawal...... she doesn't want anyone to get close to her emotionally.......

but it's a good sign that she is still communicative through her own way... The way she eat everything you fed her and take her medications obediently, means she doesn't want anyone of you to get mad at her........

Maybe she's afraid that if any of you get mad at her, you would throw her back at the street again.....

Don't worry, she would gradually get over her fear and she would learn to interact with people again....

it just takes time. Right now she's on her third month of her pregnancy, the baby's heartbeat is very weak even with all the medications and vitamins.

There's nothing we can do about it for now. we need the mother's cooperation to help the baby . We can only pray for now that she'll learn to get over things quickly and face reality...

Edward and Margarita were both worried for the baby's condition when they heard the doctor........

They know that the baby is the fruit of unwanted pregnancy born from raped.....

but the baby is innocent, and doesn't have anything to do with his father's sin. In fact the baby is also a victim of circumstances.....

Margarita decided in her mind, that this time.... she would start urging the young lady to live and fight for her life and the baby. She would make her understand the situation and accept reality as it is......
