The second day of their shooting went on smoothly without any problems.Every staff and crew worked perfectly well together, and as a result, they were able to do advanced shooting. The director happily told them that their departure from Walnut Creek can be much earlier than the original projected schedule. It means they can go back to Australia after a week, and not the original schedule which is three weeks. Once they return to Australia, they will shoot the remaining scenes there, and they will be busy with promotions, advertisements and press conferences."I'm so glad and relieved we're going back to Australia earlier than the usual." Liam chatted, while he's driving.However, Serena is not listening to Liam. Her mind is elsewhere, and her conversation with Paolo awhile ago keeps on replaying in her mind."We can never be friends, Serena." Paolo's voice keeps on replaying in her head like a broken record.And it stung her. Maybe it was really her fault why Paolo couldn't forgive

Back in Via's hospital room."I'm just so glad you didn't leave Via all alone, Serena. We don't know what else can happen to her if you're not there." Don Rafael said.Serena gently clasped her father's hand to make him feel that everything's okay."Via is fine now, Daddy. She's safe." Serena comforted her father."Your sister looks so frail and vulnerable, Serena. It really breaks my heart to see her like this." the old man spoke again.Serena suddenly remembers something."Do you still remember the day when you first introduced me to Via? She also had the same appearance. Innocent, frail and vulnerable. But deep inside, she's a very strong woman, Daddy. I am confident that she will recover from all of this and comes back stronger than before." Serena tries to reassure her father.Don Rafael sighs in return."I want nothing but the best for you,girls.""We'll be okay, Daddy. It's morning already and you haven't slept a wink last night. It would be better if you go home and rest." Se

After a few minutes, Don Rafael finally speaks."I don't know if I should also be the one to blame for everything, Serena. I've got to admit that I wasn't always there for Via." the old man sadly stated.=============================="Please don't say that, Dad. You're the best father in the world, and I know Via thinks the same way, too. No one wants this to happen to her. The only thing we can do right now is to give our utmost support to Via." Serena responded."Then, let's start with the treatment as soon as possible." Don Rafael finally agrees with Via, 's treatment."I'm sure Via will be alright. We'll be a family again in no time. Same as before." Serena gave words of encouragement to her father. Don Rafael and Serena gave each other warm and loving hugs, as they start to get ready with Via's treatment for her high-functioning depression...==============================“Coffee?” Liam offered, while a paper cup full of coffee to Paolo."Thanks. By the way, how are things at

What he knows is that Liam and Serena decided to go back to Australia for work, and they plan to hold a civil wedding ceremony there.But as he tries to decipher Via's hidden message, maybe what she's trying to say is to try his chances again with Serena?Paolo quickly started his car's engine, with one destination on his mind. He will take this chance to talk to Don Rafael and clear things up before he can make his final move.He is hoping, wishing and praying that he will achieve good results...======================Brisbane, Australia.Serena lets out a relieved sigh as she stretches her arms in the air. She is currently at her co-worker's farm, Nicky. She is currently on a vacation mode with her bestfriend, who owns a large country farm in Brisbane.Serena decided to take a break from work, and she feels like she needs to find her real self again.She's still blaming herself on what happened to her sister, Via. She still feels guilty, and she wanted to step back and reflect on

"You did the right thing, Paolo. You didn't make a mistake in choosing my sister." Serena's nodded."That's what I told myself back then, Serena. But when you came back Walnut Creek ten years later, my life did a complete change. I felt like I was betraying Via because I can't get you off my mind. And that's when I realized that you will never be erased from my heart and mind." Paolo finally confesses everything."I feel the same way too, Paolo." Serena wanted to say it out loud, but she stops herself."You don't have to be guilty, Serena. Before I came here, Via and I had meaningful talk. We were able to have a proper closure. And I don't know if you heard about it already, but she's planning to get married soon." Paolo suddenly made an early announcement."W-What?" Serena lets out an audible gasp."Via might scold me for this since she wanted to surprise you and your father, but she told me that she getting married to Dave, who's also from the treatment center. They're very much in
