In Your Eyes ↦ Lauren/You

Chapter 54

I found myself being seated at one of the chairs inside the same coffee shop where Dr. Hamilton tol me to meet him up the other night. I turn my attention to the dark-skinned man who's settled down right across of me.

I called him a few minutes ago, telling that we should meet again because I have some imporant things to tell him or asks him about what he really knows, when in reality, I only called him to ask what he really wanted for me. And I don't understand why he needed to drag Dr. Jauregui on my mom's death. I know it's not really possible for him to kill my mom right?

I've been more confused about everything that I was so busy and I keep telling myself that I needed to know the truth about my mom's death. I needed to know if this man right in front of me is telling the truth or just talking shit because he wants my life to be complicated and break my relationship with the Jauregui's.

I actually forgot about going to work today and that I have a fiancée whom I forgot to sent her a text or even putting an effort to call just to let her know that I'm okay and that she shouldn't be worried.

I know she's probably worried and made at me because I didn't tell her I won't go to work, but I don't think I can see her at this moment. I know I shouldn't get cold or be mad at her because she didn't do shit or she's not even involve on my mom's death, aside from my mom willingness to donate her eyes for the Latina.

I sighed and lift my head up to face the older man who is giving me an odd look. "You see, I don't know what kind of person you are. However, I do know what kind of person the Director is." I told him and his face looks serious. "Throughout the past twelve years, his nature and his character, I saw closer than anyone else. And I know he is someone who could never do some stupid shit, like pulling out the oxygen mask of my mom or whatever like that, that you are accusating him. He's not a murderer."

I take a deep breath and Dr. Hamilton's eyes is lock to mine, "I don't know why you would tell me such a thing. I don't know if you're telling the truth or you just wanted me to beeak up or have a complicated relationship with the Jaureguis. And what ever your motive is, I really need to know."

"I already told you, kid." He mumbled out. "I told you I was there when he removed the oxygen mask and he waited till it went flatline. At that time, I was just like you... that I couldn't understand what I just seen to the point that it was confusing." He said and continues, "It seemed like it was something all in the past, but after twelve years, the fact that you appeared before me, wouldn't that be because there's a reason for that?"

He leaned back on his seat and his face became more serious then speak up, "I remember it... I remember in that hospital room where a brave student resent her mother resolutely, and even in front of the Director, she bowed her head and keep muttering how thankful she was to him. But what if it wasn't the end of the story? What if the student lived after that with complete gratitude towards the Director, who wasn't a hero but a villian, would you have kept your mouth shut?" Dr. Hamilton said and he gave me a symphatetic look then added, "In this world, there's nothing will stay a secret forever no matter how much you've kept it to yourself, it will always be revealed. The truth must be known, and that's my motive. Just read the records of your mom and you will know that I am telling the truth."

Then I heard a screeching sound from his chair. I look up and saw him standing up and leaving me inside the coffe shop without any word. I glance back at him and I already saw him crossing the road.

I stare at the envelope that Dr. Hamilton brought last night. I decided to bring it with me while we're meeting up. I haven't read it yet, a part of me was scared to look at it because maybe he is really telling the truth and I don't think I can handle it when I found out that Dr. Jauregui was really the one who took my mom's life.
