Fifth Chapter

Phoebe woke up with a severe headache. She saw an unfamiliar room when she opened her eyes, but remembering what happened to her last night she knew that she was in the Hospital, also because of the IV fluid that is placed on the right side of her bed.

“Hija I’m glad you’re awake! What happened to you yesterday? The doctor said you lost consciousness because you’re famished and have an empty stomach the whole day, so tell me what happened?” Her mother asked her when she that she’s now awake. Instead of answering Phoebe tried to get up and sit so her mom got no choice but help her.

“W-What time is it m-mom?” she’s enervated for she still hasn’t eaten anything for the past hours she was asleep.

“It’s almost two in the afternoon.” She was a bit surprised to what her mother said. She slept that long?

“I’m hungry mom,” she informed her mom so that she won’t ask anymore about what happened yesterday.

“Oh alright, you wait for me here okay? I’ll just buy you food since Nenita will come back here later by six to bring our dinner, and you might not be able to wait for that anymore.” Luna answered, she was pertaining to their head maid or mayordoma.

Phoebe was relieved when her mother finally went out of her hospital room. She don’t want to tell her that Yulo made her wait for so many hours in his office that she even starved herself, because she knew that her mother will get mad to Yulo and she doesn’t like that thought.

After a few minutes Luna came back and prepared the food she bought for her so Phoebe started eating, finally after more than 24 hours her stomach felt full again.

Exactly after she ate a nurse came to inject a medicine to her IV fluid then went out also after giving her some reminders on what to do to avoid the same thing happens again.

She just slept all day because she got nothing else to do and just staring at the ceiling is quite boring. The next day she was informed that she will be discharged and can eventually go.

So exactly 9 am when Phoebe and her mother got home, her mom told her to just stay in her room and rest so she could recover fast. She’s glad that she was not questioned anymore on what happened yesterday.

She went straight into the bathroom when she enters her room, even if she’s still feeble because of the medicines injected to her. She really wanted to take a bath for she feels so sticky all over her body, maybe because of the dust and pollution she encountered the whole day.

As the warm water rush down her body she felt at ease. All of the burdens suddenly went out of her mind. But then she know that is was just temporary because after taking a bath her mind started overthinking again until she fell asleep.

Phoebe was awaken by the knocks on her door, it was her mother telling her that lunch is ready. Even though she does not have the appetite to eat she still forced herself because she doesn’t wanna worry her mom anymore.

The day went by with her just lying on her bed, then the next morning came she woke up early and feeling much better that last night. She took a bath and did her daily morning routine then went down to eat breakfast. Her mom was a bit shocked to see her all dress up.

“Where are you going?” she asked her, worry is etched on her face.

“I’ll go to the flower shop today mom, Mandy might needing my help.” Phoebe explained

“Are you sure you’re okay though? Can you really work? You don’t have to force yourself.” Her mother queried.

“Yes mom, I won’t overwork alright?” she told her so she won’t be worried anymore.

So after they ate breakfast, Phoebe then drove her car to her shop.
