Astreille carefully set the laptop down on the table inside her uncle's bedroom. It's midnight already, no one is around so she's free to do anything.
Without noise he sat down in a chair prepared in front of the small table. She opened her laptop to hack the Hospital's data.
She needs to know who is the person helping her family now.
Her auntie and uncle don't have any friends who have golden spoons in their mouths. Especially him, he had no other friends except Jezreel.
This situation bothers her a lot. What if there is a replacement for the help it provides? Especially since he didn't know the person behind it. Even the Hospital doesn't want to reveal his or her identity.
He took a deep breath before starting the movement of the fingers. She connected her software to the Hospital's. In just a few minutes, he managed to get into the most hidden information that they were hiding.
He doesn't know any other clients or their work partners, all he needs to know is the identity of the person helping them.
She searched for the private names that are under the list of big people.
Attorney Kali Mergarez
Senator Hannah Simangan
Mayor Gregor San Antonio
Attorney Carol Monseto
Attorney Felix Kahil
Senator Billy Masena
She stopped in the middle, all the names were familiar to her. Most likely, they are people with a position in law.
With each name he sees, the names of the patients assisted by these are connected.
She continued scrolling to find her uncle's name. And as soon as she reached the bottom, she saw Freddie Dela Cruz's name, her uncle, at the end. Associated with an ID number.
"ID number? Why isn't the name on it? What am I going to do here?" he whispered frustrated as he wept as he rubbed his head.
But he turned around again while trying to read the ID number next to his uncle's.
This kind of ID number belongs to powerful people. People who were born to kill, punish and rule the whole world.
"Oh God," she whispered.
He repeatedly examined the numbers lying on the screen. All of these, these don't feel right at all. Instead of rejoicing that someone was helping her, she became even more nervous.
He was even more frightened.
He tightly closed his eyes as he processed everything inside his mind. There's only one family who owns this ID number.
Knights.
"A-What do they need from us? Did Tito have debts to pay? Are t-they being sarcastic?" he asked himself one after another.
He no longer knew what to do. Why would a powerful family help them? Not once, he did not want to be close to them. In addition to his fear, he could not bear any calamity that would come upon him when he approached it.
She immediately closed the site and removed all the traces she left. The weight of his head only increased, as if he was going crazy with what he found out.
Astreille didn't notice how her body moved on its own. It seems like it has a spontaneous life that goes straight to the writing app that will get rid of the headache.
She just decided to stay in the app, searching for that writer's story.
He stumbled upon a new chapter of the book he was writing. It was updated 5 minutes ago.
She took a deep breath while still trying to calm herself. When everything is good, he just chooses to stay in reading. Maybe it will help her forget about the stressful things.
"THANK YOU very much, ija. You really helped our family a lot," the old man cried in a hurry while Astreille was locked in his arms.
The girl smiled sweetly as the caress caressed the old man's back.
"It's nothing, auntie. I'm the only one at home so it's okay for you to be there. We'll be able to focus more on uncle. Besides, you don't have to worry about food anymore because I'll take care of that, "he explained here.
The old man wiped the tears from his eyes before nodding slowly. "You're really very kind. It's good and that's how your father raised you. Your mother, because that's my sister, is ambitious for money."
She chuckled. "Leave it to mama, aunt, the important thing is I don't have any problems because of him."
She lied, until now, she was still carrying and carrying the responsibility and debt of her mother. But she doesn't want to stress her auntie, it's enough to know that she's okay.
"Oh, how's that. Marie and I will pack first, huh? Be careful on the trip back to Manila," she reminded him worriedly.
"Yes, aunt. Tomorrow morning, Marie and I will come back to you. I'll be off tomorrow from work so we have time to fix things. Please be careful here, I have to leave, I'm still in this afternoon. " She carried her bag before hugging Marie on her side.
"Be careful, Astreille. Thank you very much again, ija."
She smiled sweetly at her family. A few minutes before they said goodbye to each other, he decided to travel back to Manila again.
He didn't sleep well last night because of what he found out. He will only get back to sleep this morning when he gets home, his work is still at three in the afternoon because Jezreel himself informed the commander that there is an emergency.
Astreille is really thankful for having a friend like her. Jezreel is the sweetest person on earth. It always supports and protects him from other people.
If she'll be given a choice to pick a best friend in another life, she'll always choose Jezreel, over and over again.
He stared at himself. "Aysh. I really miss him," she whispered to herself.
