Chapter 25 : The investigation begins

Anthon has already begun his investigation into what happened to Gaia. He stayed all night just to find the CCTV footage on that night. He didn't see Gaia leave the house when she got home.

Anthon yawned and immediately prepared to go to Kevin's house. He was driving towards Kevin's house when he decided to go to Gaia's place. He was about to go out of the car when he stopped and saw a man and woman talking outside the condo.

They seemed restless as they looked around. When they made sure that no one was in the area, they immediately went inside.

Anthon began to doubt the actions of the two.

"Why did they go in there? I haven't seen them when Ms. Tan here," he asked in surprise while still focused on the condo.

He immediately went to Kevin's house. Kevin is in the living room. Anthon thought they were going to the office but it wasn't dressed. He was wearing only trousers and a white plain t-shirt.

"Sir, I thought we were going to the office?" Anthon asked him. Kevin smiled and stood up.

"I'm gonna look for her," he said to Anthon's surprise. He sighed and they immediately left the house.

Kevin was in the car as he thought about Ms. Gaia. After her disappearance, his hope that she is still alive prevailed.

Anthon turned on the radio in the car and suddenly it...

"A teacher was found dead. It was identified as Ms. Gaia Tan who has suspended from a school also for the offense of harassing a student. Based on the investigation, the teacher was raped and immediately pushed towards the cliff where she was fell into the sea, " Anthon turn off the radio and looked at Kevin.

When Alice heard the news she immediately let go of the glass she was holding.

"M-ma'am Gaia," she muttered as she burst into tears.

Gaia's mother was also held against a wall while hearing the news about her daughter. She did not believe it at first but when she heard the news she immediately regretted why she did not immediately look for her daughter.

The news spread so fast and she went viral. All the comments were saying Rest in Peace Ma'am Gaia.

"She deserves it," someone commented which had also gone viral. Social media immediately went viral regarding the news of Gaia's death. Because Doctor Zack was always busy he did not hear or know the news about Gaia.

It was morning when Gaia still hadn't woken up and was still sound asleep while lying on the sofa. While Zoe was asleep Doctor Zack immediately prepared breakfast. He was preparing the food when Zoe smells it. She was sniffing it and was immediately awakened by the delicious smell.

She woke up immediately and saw the doctor cooking breakfast. He was stunned as he stared at the doctor. The way he cooks, look so sexy and cool. He's too perfect.

It was swallowed while looking at the doctor.

"Oh, you're awake," the doctor greeted Zoe with a smile as her heartbeat quickened.

She was still not moving and she could hear every beat of her heart.

"Zoe? Any problem?" doctor Zack asked her and she went back to sanity.

"Ah, no. Nothing," she said and they began to eat.

While eating, Zoe can feel her headaches. She was massaging it slightly.

"What happened? Does your head hurt?" the doctor asked her and she nodded. Doctor Zack then went closer to her and gives her a gentle massage. She avoided it.

"I'm fine,"

"No, I know you're not," he said and continue massaging her head. Zoe was blushing while Doctor Zack was massaging her head. She can feel the softness of his hands.

Doctor Zack stopped massaging when his cellphone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me for a sec," Zoe just nodded and resumed eating.

"Hello?"

"Is this Doctor Zack?" a man's voice he heard over the phone. Zack looked at the number, but it was unknown.

"Yes, this is he. Who are you?" he asked.

"You might not know me, but doctor Sanchez recommended you for me. I want to have a check-up. Are you free now, doc?" the man asked.

Doctor Zack looked in the direction of Zoe who was eating right now. He sighed. "Meet me at my office, I'll see you at 11," the call then ended.

"What was that, doc?" Zoe asked.

"I have a patient and I need to go now. I'll see you later, Zoe," he said and went out.

Zoe is left all alone again and she can feel the sadness in the atmosphere around here. "Where and who am I, really?" she asked herself while looking at the plate on her table. She then sighed and smiles.

She then decided to clean the condo. She was the dishes, clean the floor and even the windows. She also cleans the bathroom, but it was already clean. "How can a man like him live like this?" she asked in amazement.

Zack was in the office when his secretary suddenly knocked.

"Doctor Zack, you're patient is here," he nodded.

"Come in," he said, and immediately a man wearing a suit entered. He then looks at Doctor Zack.

"Are you Doctor Zack?" he asked.

"Yes, I am,"

He smiles. "I'm Kevin Han, by the way," he introduces himself. Zack just stared at him as he remembered that in front of him was the owner of a famous company.

"Mr. Han, nice to meet you. I know you, you're the CEO of the Han corporation right?" he nodded and sat down.

"So, what's your problem, Mr. Han?" he asked. Kevin sighed as he looks at him. He then slowly unbutton his shirt.

"W-what are you doing, M-Mr. Han?" Zack was surprised as he saw a lot of red rashes on his body. He fixed his eyeglass and look at the rashes closely.

"I have seen these rashes from one of my patients too," he said and Kevin button his shirt.

"Can you help me, Doctor Zack?"

"As far as I know, these rashes are rare. My patient had been broken lately and the rashes come back as that woman was lost at his side. He had been stressed lately and lost a person who he can trust," Zack uttered and Kevin was thinking about Gaia.

"So that means, I need that woman to come back?" he said in a whisper tone, but Zack heard it.

"Do you mean?"

"Yes, I have the same situation on that patient of yours," he said.

Zack nodded his head while looking at Kevin. "What can I do now? She's gone," he said in frustration.

"She left you? We can contact her and tell her to help you with your treatment," he said.

Kevin sighed. "She was declared as dead," Zack's eyes widened when he heard it.

He gasped. "Oh, I'm sorry to mention her,"

"But I'm sure she's alive, Doc. I'm sure someone did this on purpose, I can feel it. I can feel that she's alive," Kevin said confidently.

"How come?"

"I'm sure about this, but I have this guts that she's alive,"

The doctor frowned as he looked at Kevin.

"Mr. Han, I know this sounds absurd, but we can't bring the dead to be alive again," Zack said.

"She's alive, Doc. I can feel it,"

"Do you think I'm crazy?" he asked.

"Mr. Han, I'm not accepting a patient like you right now, but when I heard that Doctor Sanchez recommended me, I have the time to talk to you as I was also a psychologist.

"You can just say that you can't help me. Just say no if you can't. Don't put and give me hope when you can't do anything at all," Kevin said and slammed the door when he leaves.

"Doctor Zack sighs. He then looked at his computer and there was a letter from Doctor Sanchez. "I believe in him, Zack. What about you?" he frowned.

"What do you mean? he replied.

"I went to Gaia's body that day, but when I checked it, it wasn't her. It was someone's corpse and it looks like it was for over years."

Zack narrowed his eyes while looking at his phone. He leans on his chair and looked at the ceiling. The doctor was still thinking about Kevin when the door suddenly opens, it was Zoe, who's smiling while looking at him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Ah. I'm thinking you might be hungry. I cooked something for you, Doc. This is to thank you for helping me," she said and handed the food to the doctor.

Zoe was smiling when someone went inside the office. "Doctor Zack, your patients are waiting for you," his secretary said.

"I'll get going then," she said and went out.

Zoe was outside and breathing fresh air. She was closing her eyes while her face was hit by the sunlight.

Kevin was inside the car when he decided to take a looked back at the hospital when he had a glimpse on Gaia's face.

"Wait, stop the car," Anthon looked at him.

"Mr. Han, anything wrong," he didn't answer as he went out and followed that woman.

"Gaia, Gaia,' he utters inside his mind while still looking for that woman. There were a lot of people, he didn't notice that he was surrounded by the crowd.

"Mr. Han? What are you doing? Sir?" Anthon asked him.

"I saw her, Anthon," Anthon frowned.

"Who?"

"Gaia, I saw Gaia here,"
