Abandoned At Birth

Chapter 44

CATALIA'S POV:
We all were walking to Vespine's and Virago's room, Luce was helping me walk as my legs were still slightly numb and I was cradling my broken hand. We arrived at the room and saw Mom, Grandpa, Uncle Franco, Nico and Dan outside with Nana, Papa, Mama, Liza and Officer Aquino.

"LIA! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND?!" Mom asked worriedly and stood up. She gently took hold of my hand and examined it.

"Wright broke it. How's Vespine and Virago?" I asked Uncle Nico and Dan.

"They'll live, they're in a stable but medically induced comatosed condition." Uncle Dan said as I nodded and sat down on the bench absolutely drained. I leaned my head back at the wall and started taking heavy breaths trying to regain it to a steady pace.

"What happened? Why did you go to the American Base without informing or waiting for us?" Uncle Franco asked. Luce explained what happened sitting beside me. I could here the shocked gasps from my remaining family.

Someone sat on my other side and I didn't pay mind to it for the mean time as I was physically, mentally and emotionally drained. "That fucking Wright!!!" Uncle Nico shouted and I heard a bang which I guessed was his fist colliding with the metal bench. I felt my injured hand being held and someone examining it.

"What was it did you need to tell me?" I asked opening my eyes, zeroing in to Mom's. She looked hesitant at first but she sighed and stood up.

"Come on, let's talk somewhere private." she said offering her hand. I was about to take it when Papa spoke.

"Why should you two need to talk somewhere else? Why not say it here?" he asked concerned. Mom explained that it was a doctor to patient conversation and that it was confidential information.

Me and Mom walked to a part of the hospital where not many patients are there. We sat down on one of the benches and I could tell that Eva was nervous. I was curios but remained silent as I didn't have any strength yet to speak. She sighed and nodded before looking at me.

"Alright I just wanna tell you, that we will be talking professionally here. For now I am your Psychologist and you are my patient ok?" She assured as I nodded. "First question, do you remember anything beyond three years ago? From your age 10 to 13?" She asked. My eyes went to the side at first trying to remember anything but shook my head as I couldn't.

It's like all of my memories have been erased during those times, as those were also my darkest ones.

"Like no nothing? Anything?" Mom clarified.

"All I remember is that, those were my darkest times of life. Beyond three years ago I was in a state of severe depression and you diagnosed me of autophobia after learning about my real past from Nana." I said as I slightly remember Nana telling me how she found me and that took a really huge toll in my mental and emotional health.

"Anyhing else?" Mom asked.

" I just remember shutting down, it was like I was in a coma for three years and I was living and doing something but I couldn't remember. Like my mind just shutted down and didn't save anything from those three years and then one day, I felt like I was back. I like just bounced back to reality from my dream." I explained as she nodded.

"Ok, Lia for now I just want you to listen to what I'm about to say. Let me finish what I am about to say first before speaking ok?" She asked so I just nodded still curios as to why she is saying these things.

"Ok, we psyshologists sometimes do a procedure called hypnosis to our patients. It usually helps with retrieving memories but we also use it sometimes for patients that want to forget some. When we do that, we can't control how much a patient forgets. It's not just like you want to forget one memory and that's it, no. There is a possibility that you can forget more than what you intended to forget." She started so I just nodded understanding.
