CLARISA: She woke up to the conductor's shout... They were already in Quezon Province... She glanced at her mother and father, who had fallen asleep during the trip. "Mom, Dad, wake up. We're almost there," she gently nudged her parents. They immediately became alert. "Sir, we’ll get off at the next stop," she told the conductor. "Are we almost there, dear?" her mother asked. "When we get off, we'll still need to take a jeepney, Mom. The place we're going to is in the barrio." "Oh, is that so... it really is far, isn't it? We've been traveling for hours." "It's good that it's far, Mom... no one will recognize us there." "That's true, dear... this is where we'll start a new life." She felt sad again. "I wonder how my baby is doing? Maybe he's hungry by now." "Don't worry about your child for now... I'm sure Sir Reed is taking good care of him. Plus, Maria is there to look after Blue." "You're right, Mom. I'll call Ate Maria later... I'll check on my baby." "That's up to you

Maria has arrived from the drug store. It was just in time for Blue to wake up, so he was able to feed. At first, he didn’t want the milk because it wasn’t what he usually drinks—he was looking for his mommy's breast milk. But maybe because he was hungry, he eventually drank the formula milk.“Maria, please take care of Blue for now. I’ll just go back to the hospital to check on grandpa… he still hasn’t woken up. It’s a good thing Clarisa’s friends are there. They’re the ones looking after grandpa while I’m away.”“All right, Sir. I’ll take care of Blue here.”He stepped out of the house and headed straight to his car, bringing along some of his things. He knew his grandfather wouldn't be able to go home yet due to his condition.As he drove, he kept glancing at the road, still holding on to the hope that he might spot Clarisa somewhere.If only it were that easy... If only finding his wife were that simple. But he knew deep down it wasn’t. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he kn

They were both silent for a moment after Diana left. Neither of them wanted to break the silence.“Lolo... I’m sorry about Diana. I don’t know why she showed up again. She hadn’t made any contact for a long time, but now that there’s a problem, she suddenly appears to stir things up...”“Is it true, Ken... that her child is yours?”“I-I don’t know... but the DNA test came back positive. I don’t want to reject the child just because I don’t like his mother.”“Think about it carefully, Ken... because from what I see, Diana will be a big headache.”“Right now, my concern is Clarisa, Lolo... I don’t want to waste time thinking about that worthless Diana.”His grandfather didn’t respond, simply closing his eyes, seemingly exhausted from their situation. Reed felt pity for him, but there was nothing he could do either.*********************************They were now back at the mansion, having spent three days in the hospital. Even though Lolo Miguel insisted on being discharged early, Reed

CLARISA POV:Two years have passed. She is currently in America and has returned to work as a nurse there. She has also been promoted to Head Nurse at the hospital where she works. She brought Tita Grace, Rose's mother, with her. She took her along so that they could be together with Rose. She has fully entrusted the hacienda to her parents.The hacienda is running well under her parents' leadership. The people there are kind and treat them with respect, especially since they know that they are the new owners of the hacienda.At first, she didn’t leave the house. She was embarrassed that the people there might have watched her video, but she noticed that no one looked at her differently; they treated her normally. Perhaps it was because almost all the people there didn’t have cell phones and spent their time focusing on planting and growing crops, which is very different from the city where almost everyone has a cell phone, making it easy for her video to spread and many people to rec

She returned to the elevator. She was joined by a few hospital employees, who greeted each other with polite nods. Once she was inside, she pressed the 8th-floor button. The employees exchanged glances; they knew she was going to the Director’s office, the only office on that floor. She just shrugged, unsure why they were making a big deal about it. Well, it wasn’t like she was going there without a reason—she had been summoned. That’s different. Everyone else got off on their respective floors, leaving her as the only passenger. What could he possibly want to say to her? She couldn’t think of any reason for being called in. When she reached the Director’s office, she knocked on the door before entering. "Come in!" she heard his voice call from inside. She opened the door, and he beamed at her as soon as he saw her. She returned his smile. Albert’s family owned the hospital. Even though he was the Director, they were friends. They didn’t show their closeness to others, as she did
