She'll do everything she can to treat Pablito's illness.

Her mother died of cancer as well when she was in middle school. Pablo was just a toddler at that time, so he has no impression about their mum.

He was discovered to have gotten cancer when he was in his final year in grade school. He loves athletics very much that he joined the schools athletics club.

One afternoon she was called to come to the hospital by Pablo's school teacher. That was when she was told that Pablo fainted during their physical education activity. And that they've discovered that he has cancer.

The first time that they found out, they thought that everything is over and that Pablo would end up dying just like their mother. But he has been able to fight it for two years now. And thank God that he is still young, and he exercises often the doctors said if he gets an operation and goes through chemotherapy, everything would be fine. And she was going to make sure he gets surgery this time. At this moment auntie Pam entered the ward. Holding a thermos flask.

Lucia, you're here? " she asked as she placed the thermos flask on the table.

"auntie Pam, it's been hard on you. Thank you." Lucia said with gratitude.

Auntie Pam has been with them since their mother died. She's practically been a mother to both she and Pablo. Even when she wanted them to move out of the house, auntie Pam didn't hesitate to move in with them.

" silly child. what did the doctor say?"

Lucia sighed hearing her. " His attending

doctor said everything is fine for now. But he needs to get the surgery as soon as they get an RH negative blood. "

" I'm going to see the chief surgeon for more explanation." She really needed to talk to the chief surgeon.

Seeing that she was worried , his pale lips rose in a slight smile. He reached out and patted her on the back of her hand, pretending to be relaxed. “I’m really fine, don’t you see that for yourself ?” Sis, I know we'll get a blood donor soon."

“ Pablito, you…”Lucia's eyes were red and she was about to say something when he cut her off" sis, I've told you not to call me Pablito anymore. I'm almost in high school now " he pouted, feighning anger just to get Lucia's mind off him for the time being. " haha, but you're still a little boy to me"As they spoke, the door was pushed open again from out side and the chief surgeon walked in.

" I can see that you're really hanging in there. " he said.

" Doctor Gabby." Lucia smiled when she saw him. " I was about coming to your office."

Doctor Gabby smiled hearing what she said.

" Let's step outside then."

" okay. " Lucia responded. She then looked at Pablo and said" Pablito,. I'll go talk to doctor Gabby for a while."

"hhmm" Pablo replied.

Let's go to my office." doctor Gabby said as he led the way.

At the same time somewhere in the hospital, the driver had finished talking to the nurse and called Leon back to relay the information he's got on Lucia.

When the call got connected, he walked out of the hospital.

" Sir, I found out that Miss Lucia's brother is at this hospital. He seem to be battling cancer and needs surgery. But the foundation looking after him stopped on the instructions of her half sister. And now what they need most is not only money but her brother's blood type is hard to find. RH negative. They have not gotten a donor yet, as such they can't proceed with the surgery."

" what of the surgery fees, has she gotten a means of payment yet? "

" I'm not sure of that yet sir." But I think she hasn't. "

" she was on her way to the chief surgeon's office on my way out."

" hhmm" You return to the office."

Leon said as he hanged up.

He contemplated for a while , then made a call again. After the call got through a playful voice was heard. " hey bro. why are you calling me at this hour. ? "

" It's not even 12pm yet."

" Do you want to go to B city ?" Leon threatened.

Ivan who was drowsy from just waking up sat up as soon as he heard B city. He didn't want to go to that dilapidated city at all.

He got up from the bed and began to dress up. The lady laying beside him woke up as well. Seeing that he's dressing up, she asked." Mr Guenté, are you leaving?"

"hhmm" I'll transfer the money into your account. Don't look for me anymore."

With that he walked out of the room. " bro, what is it this time? "

" Your company is the foundation supporting the psychiatric department of Reol hospital?"

" yes. " " why, you want to invest?"

" hhmm"

" but you to extend it to the cancer treatment faculty as well."

Ivan was dumbfounded when he heard him say that.

" wait.... bro, what's wrong? "

" Do you have cancer?"

" Take the next flight to B city as soon as possible. "

" No!... bro, I was wrong!" But Ivan didn't finish what he was saying as Leon hanged up on him.

"....." Not B city!

Lucia walked out of the chief surgeon's office with a heavy heart. Doctor Gabby said the RH negative blood type is very rare and is hard to come by. And in the whole of Medieval country, there are just two places you can get this type of blood.

One was the blood bank, which is practically short of that type of blood at the moment. And the other in which is a socialite society which has been set up by the rich and affluent in the country who have that blood type. If Pablo is to get blood from their club, then she has to know of someone influencing in the club.

But who would she ask.

Not even Jonny is associated with that class of people. Talk much less her. But she'll do everything she can to make Pablo whole again. With a determined look, she walked back to Pablo's ward.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

An hour Later.

Phone rings.

Leon looks at the caller and smirks, then picks up.

" bro, it's done. how many people do you want me to put on the list per year? "

" you decide. Put Pablo Calvastan on the list. And make sure all his expenses are met. Don't exclude anything. "

" Pablo Calvastan? I've never heard of him."

" who is that bro?" Ivan asked. As he has never heard of anyone with that name.

" you don't have to know. " then he hanged up.

"....."

Ivan picked up his phone and made another call.

" do you know of any Pablo Calvastan in your family's hospital?"

" you called me at a time like this in working hours just to ask about an insignificant person in my family's hospital?" Guston didn't know what to say to this flamboyant second generation heir of a brother.

" if you have nothing important to say, I'm hanging up."

" wait! second brother, it's first brother that wants me to look for this person."

" He called me this morning to set up a cancer foundation in addition to the psychiatry foundation that my family is operating. " Ivan spoke so fast that he was out of breathe after finishing just a few lines.

" first brother asked you to open a cancer foundation just for one person?" Guston was surprised to hear this. Even he did not know who this Pablo Calvastan is. But he wouldn't humor this idiot.

" what does first brother's person have to do with you?"

" hey, don't say that. I'm in charge of him now. "

second brother, find out for me." And have your people move him to a single ward." " let's understand his situation." Ivan said as he rolled a pen between his fingers.

" Are you ordering me?" Guston raised his brow.

" first brother's orders." Ivan said. " or else, B city. " he added.

I'll tell Leon to make you stay there for a year." Guston said.

" No!.... second brother please. "

Guston knew immediately that Leon threatened Ivan with B city. So he was going to make sure this immature young man go there to experience life better.

" I'll call Leon myself." then he hanged up.
