ANNA met up with Doctor Kang with her mother for her therapy.

"Madame Choi, Anna is free from any trauma. As for the three sessions we had, there's no indication of emotional or psychological trauma. Commonly, it takes months to complete the diagnose.."

"With Anna, there was no sign of flashbacks, anxiety, stress and even trouble in sleeping. Those are the most common effects." Doctor Kang paused.

"However, please be advised that symptoms of PTSD may happen or come back even after years of a traumatic incident. It could be triggered by another event that could bring back memories of it."

"Do you suggests that Anna must have regular check ups?" Yoojin can't help but feel distressed.

"No. Not really. It's a precaution. She just had a shock, but she was rescued immediately that prevented any serious damage, physically and especially emotionally."

Then Dr Kang looked at Anna, smiling.

"Anna, just like I have told you, it's okay to be afraid but never keep it yourself. If ever you feel, always confide with people you trust, like your Mom and your friends."

"Thank you, Doc. I will always keep in mind what you said. Your words of encouragement helped me a lot, too." Then Anna turned to her mother.

"Ma, don't worry too much. I promise you if anything, I'll let you know." She hugged her and nod a 'thank you again' to Doctor Kang.

Yoojin felt relieved. Now she needs to make sure everything will be in their right places.

IT WAS nostalgic coming back to the mansion. Master Choi, which her grandfather's known for, has always been manipulative, just like the late Patriarch Choi HanLin, but more fond of her.

She was actually looking forward to see him. But she doesn't want to go back and live in the family's mansion. Her gut feeling tells her, she shouldn't.

She glanced at Yoojin beside her and noticed she was also in deep thoughts.

"Ma, is everything ok? You've been silent since after lunch."

"Nothing to worry, princess. I've just got the report from DongMi, everything is fine."

The last thing Yoojin wanted was for her daughter to worry. She would do anything to keep her safe.

"Mister Park, let's stop by at the office before going to YangDong." She told their driver and held her daughter's hand, smiling at her.

At the office, Yoojin allowed Anna to be with her as she discussed details about the planned turnover of the management with Chief Secretary Kim.

Board of directors were given beforehand the proposed layout and administrative officers that will lead the foundation's current and future projects.

Although Anna will be under supervision, Yoojin wanted to make sure, she'll be prepared of the loops she may encounter. She wanted to believe Anna would be.....

THE MANSION is full of security which Anna can vividly remember the place as the same since her childhood.

As their car drove on a long driveway inside, she wondered if her mother decided to go back to this mansion. Besides, she'd been aware that her mother is planning to take over the family's business.

She wished she knew her mother's thinking.

Along the way, the car passed slowly the garden where she used to play and run around. The prominent fountain in the middle of the lawn was still there. Memories of the Patriarch came back.
