Zel made sure that Max won't be near kay Beatriz. Medyo OA sila ni Cath in making it happen pero they're doing great so far.

Today, there are additional patients not because of food poisoning but because of dengue. There are no resting doctors anymore. They are all moving.

Zel is really busy and so is Cath and yep it happened Max is injecting something when Bea went to the patient beside him.

Napatingin si Max and nung napansin ito ni Bea she said "nothing left to inject in your syringe" she chuckled when Max panicked a little.

Bea went to the next patient and when she's done doing her rounds pumunta siya sa location ng nurses and nagsabi ng orders

"Can we talk?" Mahinang sabi ni Max when he saw natapos na si Bea makipagusap

"About what, Doc?" She asked

"A lot of things so we can be friends at least?"

"We can never be friends, Max! don't be funny!" She chuckled sarcastically.

"I wanna free myself from you." Max is now staring at her

Zel and Cath is already on their way to save Bea  but she mouthed 'no need' to them

"Okay fine. My shift will end in two hours. You have 30 mins to talk."

"Thanks Bea! You're still so beautiful btw"

"Send my regards to your wife" She said and went back to her patients.

_____________________________

There's a kid who suffers from dengue who's playing with Bea right now. She's telling stories about cow and how she wants everyone to be vegan.

Bea adores her not just because she's happy even though she's sick but also because of her perspective. Noong tapos na sila magkulitan ni Bea, kinumutan siya ni Bea at sinabihan na magpahinga na. While Bea is checking the next patient beside her bigla siyang nag seizure kaya nagpanic si Bea at bumalik saknya she shouted a code that only doctors and nurses could understand.

Since Max is a pedia-neuro he jumps hearing Bea's voice and run to her.

Bea's in panic "Omyghad. Is she epileptic? I didn't know. We played. Did she get tired? Is it because of me?"

"Nurse Cathleen, get Beatriz out. She's too emotional." Cath followed what Max said and call Zel to help Bea to calm down.

"Hinga, Bea! Hinga!" Zel said habang Bea's still looking sa patient and kay Max who's doing his thing.

"I didn't know she's epileptic. I played with her kasi she said she's bored. Every kid is already sleeping so I played with her." She's explaining

"Bei, where's your pills?"

"I don't take them anymore. Phoebe told me okay na ko"

"but look at you, Bei." Zel said

"Do you think my anxiety is back?" and Bea noticed herself too and she stopped panicking.

Bea was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) ever since Maxwel left her years ago. Zel, Phoebe (Bea's doctor), and other constant volunteers sa mission lang ang nakakaalam.

She gets panic everytime she feels like it's her fault when someone is in pain. Kaya everytime na namamatayan ng patient si Bea, Zel needs to be with her, watch her, remind her na it is not her fault.
