"Good morning! Welcome to Resurge!"

"Good morning..."

"Hello Sir, I'm Grace...how may I help you?"

"Hello Grace....I'm...."

"....We're one of the country's top and exclusive home-style treatment facilities....we provide assisted-living and adjunct medical treatment for patients and a home-like environment for their families...."

"Ahh...may I...." The man picks up a flyer from the counter.

"Let me show you around, Sir..."

The man and receptionist walk past open doors of bedrooms towards a sun room and garden at the end of a long hallway.

"....we have 10 junior suites downstairs and 8 large suites upstairs....a full-function kitchen, a gym and pool, playground, sun room, music room, therapy rooms....our facility tries to provide for all the needs of our clients...."

"...and the garden?"

"The entire property is 100 hectares big. Faulkner Hospital is part of it....If you noticed the row of semi-detached houses as you approached Resurge, those are part of the property. Our garden is the central part of the property...the houses are like our fence...those are rented out to families who have children also being treated at the hospital but do not have life-threatening illnesses. They can rent as short as one week. Resurge houses patients who need long-term care. However, we specialize more in the care of teens and young adults. Happy House, the brightly coloured building next to the hospital takes care of the younger children....if you notice the playgroup equipment over there in the far end, that's Happy House....." Grace further explained as they toured the facility, ending at a park bench under a big tree in one corner of the garden.

"....th....thank you, Grace.....I'm Chuck..." Chuck introduced himself. "....I was actually a patient here before....Dr. Perez.....Dr. Mendoza.....they were my doctors...."

"Oh....welcome back, sir! It's nice to have our patients come back to visit...." Grace smiled.

"The place hasn't really changed...."

"Ah....I really wouldn't know, sir....I'm relatively new here...."

"Oh..."

"Yes....how long ago were you here?"

"Uhmm....4...6 years ago? Funny....I can't quite remember....It's no fun living away from home and doing those therapies......" Chuck chuckled, shaking his head. "So...you say you're new here...."

"Yes, Sir...."

"Has there been a change of staff, too?"

"A few....Management changed also...."

"I see...."

"....but the owners are still the Faulkner's....from what I know, they're continuously upgrading the facility that's why they built Happy House and those apartments....when I first got here, that area was untouched...."

"I see....wait....I'm trying to recall things from my stay here....are there still music therapies?"

"Yes, Sir! Nathan comes 3 to 4 times a week for sessions...."

"Ahh...yes, Nathan....I think he used to come by twice a week before...."

"....he drops by more often now....he also gives music therapy to Happy House...."

"I see...I see...."

"....how about swimming?"

"Well....you saw our swimming pool earlier at the gym.....it's really made for the handicap with ramps and handrails....Sir Tristan holds therapy sessions there...."

"Tristan?"

"Yes....he's our swimming therapist....water therapy....."

"I think that was the name of my nurse before...."

"Ah, I see...."

"How about meals?"

"Manang Monet and staff have been trained to cook and provide nutritional meals for everybody in the facility...."

"Manang Monet.....she's still here...." Chad smiled.

"Ah....yes....she's a pioneer...."

"....there's actually someone who I'm really looking for....."

"Sir?"

"....she was also my nurse.....Dei?"
