"Francesca! My daughter, where have you been?" Gabriela rushed to hug her daughter,
"I am fine mom." Francesca hugged.
"Your father told me you were in the mental hospital. What happened?" Gabriela asked,
"It's a long story mom." Francesca sighed,
"Really? Tell me everything. Oh! I cooked you something." Gabriela went to the kitchen and came back with a pie.
"Here. Enjoy it. Now tell me what happened." Gabriela caresses her daughter's cheeks,
"Mom. The pies are burnt." Francesca looked at the pies distastefully.
"Pie? Burnt? Why is there a burnt pie here?" Gabriela wondered, looking puzzled,
"Mom, you cooked the pie for me, remember?" Francesca said,
"Cooked? I didn't cook anything." Gabriela laughed,
"My daughter, stop hallucinating!" Gabriela laughed.
She then choked and began coughing.
"Mom, are you alright? Did you take your meds?" Francesca asked concerned,
"Meds? I didn't catch a cold." Gabriela continued coughing.
Francesca panicked and called a few servants to take Gabriela to the hospital.
She rushed to her parents' bedroom to look for her mother's medicine.
She flung the cabinets open and grabbed the medicine bottle standing by with the clothes.
Rushing downstairs, she almost tripped down but managed to get a grip on the railing then rushed downstairs.
Grabbing her purse from the table, she rushed outside and took a taxi to the hospital.
During the drive, her thoughts were debating whether she should call her father or not.
'He's probably busy with that other woman that spare a glance on mother's condition.' She thought distastefully.
Arriving at the hospital, she rushed to Doctor Madrid (Gabriela's trusted doctor).
"Is she gonna be okay?" She asked out of breath.
"I hope so. Her illness is acting up again and I need to keep her in the isolation room so she doesn't try something stupid yet dangerous." Dr. Madrid said.
"Here's her meds." Francesca handed the pills out of her mind.
She can't lose her mother.
She's all she have left.
She tiptoed down the hallway and sat on the bench she could find.
Coincidentally, sitting beside Amanda.
