Chapter 29

"Jemima? Mi amor?"

I gently opened my eyes when I heard a voice coming from the right side of my eye. When my eyes were half opened, I saw Hale, his eyes were worried while looking at me and holding my hand.

"Hale?" I tried to talk more but all my energy was spilled.

"Don't talk too much, sabi ng doctor ay magpahinga ka."

He sat on my bed and still holding my hand tight.

"Hindi namin inaasahan na ang pahinga mo pala ay tatlong araw." A familiar voice dropped the conversation. I turned my head to my left and I saw tita Lucille, with a smirk on her face and leaning against the door, she looks so cool in her black suit and her red contact lenses.

"Tita Lucille!" I cheerfully said as her body twitched.

She scoffed and walked towards me as she put her palm on my forehead and slowly nodding.

"You mean agent Montero?" She corrected me.

"Thank you for saving me...against my family."

My lower my gaze and played with my finger tips and moving my lips from left to right to ease my sadness form every part of my body. Ayaw pa din mag proseso ang mga inpormasyon na nalaman ko sa lugar na 'yun, hindi kayang hawakan ang katawan ko, hindi kayang tanggapin ang puso ko.

Tita Lucille slightly brushed my hair and smiles sadly at me.

"So you already know. Did Precilia told you?"

I raised my gaze at her and my brows furrowed a bit. She knew as well?! Why didn't she tell me?

Am I not worthy enough to make people tell me the truth? Hindi ba ako karapat dapat sa katotohanan at halos lahat na ng tao tinatago kung sino talaga ako?

Maybe they are afraid of me because maybe I could betray them after knowing my family. Pero ganun ba kaliit ang tigin nila sakin?

"It was my father who revealed my identity." I whispered. I didn't even know his name, how rude am I.
