Something I Never Had (Mithzan's Daughter Fanfic)

Chapter 11 - Acceptance And Forgiveness

Alesa's POV

Tears flowed down my cheeks as my arms , around Catherine's small stature , tightens.

I see Catherine's eyes widen as her mouth opens then tears were forming on the corner of her eyes.

Looking towards Adam , whom was carrying Mason , I can see him trying his hardest to controlling himself from crying as he looks at Dr. Schmitz , "Is there something you can do about it?! Or at least , we can do about it?!" , Adam said , desperation clear in his voice.

Looking towards the doctor , he fixes his glasses and looked at us , "Are you this girl's parents , if you don't mind me asking?" , he asked.

I gulped and glanced towards Adam whom glanced at me also and then at Dr. Schmitz , "No , doctor. We are her guardians. Catherine is an orphan." , Adam answered nervously.

The doctor leans on his chair , crossing his arms across his chest and sighs , "Well then. How unfortunate. " , he paused then looked at me , "She makes softwares and other things , correct me if I'm wrong." , I just nod my head while the doctor smiles down at Catherine sadly , "You don't deserve this kind of treatment , kid."

I then cried , burying my face on the hair of Catherine.

I couldn't agree more with Dr. Schmitz.

1 Hour later

Catherine's POV

Adam and Alesa dropped me off at the Orphanage along with my stuff.

So now , I was in my room , lying on my bed with my stuff still scattered as I stared at the ceiling.

Tears began to form at the corners of my eyes as I remember what Dr.Schimtz told us.

*Flashback*

The doctor looked at the results with a frown on his face Adam and Alesa told him I was an orphan.

"Well... her head trauma seemed to have affected her brain slowly now and has just affected her ability to speak. Next to it , is her ability to move her legs , arms , then her limbs. And after that , her body will slowly weaken her and then.." , he looked down at me , "..fail her."

He then looked at Adam , "So the cause of her head trauma is the death of her parents in front of her? And you said , before any of these happened , Catherine told you how her parents died , which is by a car accident and the little girl believes it's all her fault?" , Adam nods his head and glances at me sadly as the doctor looks down at me fixes his glasses.

"How is it your fault , Catherine? Mind writting it here on the paper?" , he asked me as he handed me a pen and an intermediate pad.

I took the pen and wrote ; "I bother them"

He read it and sighs , "It's normal for a kid to be like that , dear." , he pats my head gently because I was shaking my head , "Now , now. Erm.." , he looks at Adam nervously , "About how to cure her. I can't do it."

Adam's brows suddenly goes up as he said in disbelief and a hint of anger in it , "What do you mean you can't?! You're a doctor , aren't you?! "

The doctor chuckled and leans on the chair , clasping his hands together , "I'm a doctor , yes. But..." , he paused and looked down at me , "..I'm not her."

I looked at him in confusion as Alesa finally snapped at him , "What do you mean?!"

Fixing his glasses , the doctor looks at me and said calmly , "The cure is HER. She must cure HERSELF. The cause of the brain trauma isn't because of the accident but because of what how she felt about it and how she blames herself and keeps on downing herself." , he paused then continued , "In other words , she is injured or broken INSIDE not outside. And to make this cure work , she needs someone to replace as her parent. Someone who can hold her hand and guide her towards the life she deserves."
