Chapter 61 - I.D.

Hyacinth's eyes widened because of the last thing Hazel said. The fear that had already entered her mind about Terry's attempt to harm herself occupied her thoughts again. She had the same fear as Hazel's. 

It made her realize that it was not space but counseling that Terry needed. Because of that, she has already come up with a decision. 

"Thank you so much, Hazel! That was actually what I wanted to do, but I was reluctant to take action because she's too precious to me that I weigh every decision I make for her. Today, I will call our family doctor to schedule Terry to see a psychologist at their hospital. Thanks again, Hazel! I totally appreciate your help in this matter."

"No worries. But her name is Terry? I'm getting really curious about her and how she managed to make you care that much for her. Maybe we can be close and become best friends too." Hazel expressed her delight.

That made Hyacinth smile. "Don't worry. When everything's settled here, I'll take her there in the BTC shop for you to meet each other."

"That's perfect! Now, I'm getting excited to meet her! Oh! By the way, Haya, I need to drop now. I'm already near our shop. Just call me again to update me on what happened to Terry, okay?"

"Alright, alright. Thanks again, Hazel."

"Always got your back. Bye!" 

Their call had already ended and she gazed again at Terry, who was outside.

The woman was just standing in front of the flowers and no water was flowing out of the waterhose she was holding because she was not pressing on the holder. She looked in a daze and her mind was absent.

"She definitely needs help, not just space." Hyacinth said, already determined to do something.

She picked up her phone that was lying on her bed, and she looked for their family doctor's number in the contacts on her phone. 

She was already planning to schedule Terry for a Psychologist's session.

Afternoon...

Terry had finished tidying herself up and was already heading out of the resthouse to go to school. Hyacinth was just in the living room watching TV, but her attention was focused on Terry, even though her eyes were on the TV.

She had talked to their family doctor earlier, and the doctor mentioned that they had one psychologist available in the evening. 

She hadn't mentioned it to Terry yet and she didn't even know how to tell her about it, especially when Terry's aura was screaming not to talk to her.

She wanted to take Terry to her University using Lily, but she was getting scared of her cold expression.

But she could no longer bear it. "T-terry, do you want me to take you to your school?" She bravely asked her. "Don't worry, I won't drop you off at the entrance of your University. Just a little far from it so that your classmates will not see my car." She smiled widely, but inside, she was really worried that something might happen to Terry while she heading to her school with an absent mind state.

Terry looked at her and just shook her head to decline then walked out of the house. She could only follow her by gaze after seemingly having talked to a stranger.

She exhaled deeply and vented her frustration in her hair. "How can I tell her about the counseling I scheduled when she is being that cold?! I might stress her out when she finds out about it!" She talked to herself.

Hyacinth shut her eyes tightly while thinking hard. "If I just send the psychologist here into the house, she won't be able to refuse." She nodded, agreeing to her own decision. 

But after a while, she imagined how Terry looked scared because of the doctor. She pulled her hair again like someone who was already losing her mind. "She'll definitely get mad at me because she already said before that she didn't want to be counseled but I still brought a doctor! ARRRRGH!" 

She walked back and forth. "But I can also say that I really wanted to help her, so I didn't follow her wishes. She would probably understand me, right?"

She looked like she was more in need of the counseling of a psychologist than Terry, acting like this alone.

("You'll regret it when it's all too late.") She remembered what Hazel said. 

She stopped pacing and stared into space. "Hazel's right! Even if Terry gets mad at me, I won't mind as long as I can help her to get better!" She nodded at the decision she had already made. "I always wanted her to speak. I want to hear what her voice sounds like especially when she calls my name... and that's only possible if she's helped by a doctor!" 

She already decided that she would not tell Terry about it, and she was ready to suffer the consequences of what she was planning to do.

Feeling uneasy at home, she thought of taking Lily's key and planned to follow Terry to school just to make sure she could get there safely.

She hurried out of the resthouse, and when she was quite close to the door of the dome, she saw objects scattered on the ground.

Those were a black ballpen and an I.D. with black lace that had an imprinted name of the Soledad University college. 

She picked those up.

"Are these Terry's things?" she asked herself as she tapped the dirt from those. 

She flipped the I.D. over to check if it was really Terry's... but her brow raised after seeing the photo on it.

Her forehead furrowed when she saw that the photo looked very much like Terry, but... it was a man.

She blinked several times, trying to clear her vision, but the photo still didn't change. 

It was really a man, so she was starting to get confused. 

She looked at the name printed there while her forehead was still creased. "Lester Yoso?"

Her world suddenly stopped spinning after realizing something.
