WCS 1: Threads of Oxytocin Minsan, may mga bagay na hindi mo kayang ipaliwanag. May mga pagkakataon na kahit anong pilit mong kontrolin, hindi mo pa rin matitimbang ang mga nangyayari. May mga koneksyon sa buhay natin na hindi mo alam kung paano nagsimula. Pero isang araw, mapapansin mo na lang na tila nakatakda talaga ang lahat. Para bang ang bawat hibla ng sinulid ng tadhana ay humuhubog ng isang kwento. Isang kwento ng pag-ibig, sakit, at pagkakaibigan. Just like oxytocin, the hormone responsible for love, bonding, and trust. There are connections you can't explain, bonds that tie you to someone when you least expect it. It's the invisible thread that pulls you closer, even when you're fighting against it. Ysabel Eloise Avila, a brilliant young woman with big dreams had always felt like the trophy of her own family. Her world was far from perfect. Growing up in a broken, toxic environment made her question everything. But, what people didn't see was her strength, her drive to become a doctor despite the odds. Meanwhile, Caleb Ian Martinez, the cold and snob medical student, molded to be the heir to his family's prestigious chain of hospitals. He had been trained to be the perfect son, the perfect student, and the perfect face of Martinez Medical Group. But just like Ysabel Eloise, there was more to him than what meets the eye. In the bustling halls of Eastbridge School of Medicine, their paths would cross. And, in the midst of sleepless nights, high stakes, and endless pressure, would they discover the power of friendship, teamwork, and maybe... even love? With every connection comes a challenge, and their threads would be tested in ways neither of them had imagined. As their lives intertwine, one question remains: Would their threads still hold together?

You only turn 17 once in your lifetime, and after that, you can't afford to make foolish decisions anymore, she thought. Little did she know, this "foolish" 17-year-old decision she was about to make would shape the rest of her life. Book Cover from: Su Minh in Pexels
