My Son's Dad

TWENTY SIX

Today Adara met with the doctor who handled Markus during this time. Somehow the doctor asked to meet with Adara, not with the guardian of Mark; that is Mark's own mother, Sabrina.

Adara's heart beat fast when he entered the doctor's room, hoping that what the doctor wanted to talk about was not a bad thing.

“Please sit down, Ms. Adara.”

The doctor allowed Adara to sit across from him.

“If you may know what the doctor asked me to come here?”

Adara noticed the doctor who pulled out a file from her desk drawer. At first glance Adara can see that it's a file about Mark. It may be regarding the development of Markus during his care.

“Nothing bad happened to Markus ‘right, Doctor?”

The doctor shook his head slowly but was accompanied by heavy breathing. It makes Adara even more unsettled.

“Nothing bad happened to Markus, Markus has experienced quite a lot of development since 2 years ago. It's just. I think it will all be free to continue.”

“Ma-doctor mean?” Adara furrowed her brows, she did not understand and was afraid on one side. Free what this doctor means, is Mark's age short and can not be helped anymore?

“I mean, it's free that we make every effort to treat Mark. Everything will not impact what.”

“Why do doctors talk like that?”

The doctor sighed, “ Markus' body was clean from drugs injected into his body while in prison first. And what I saw about Mark's condition, he himself did not want to be healed. He was too comfortable with his situation like this, maybe he thought if he continued like this then everyone would love him. And that mindset is what needs to change, and only Mark himself can change it. Markus can only recover of his own volition.”

Adara massaged her temple, she felt dizzy thinking about this problem. “Then how, how can we make him have the desire to heal? I even came to see him diligently, obey your words. But it still no progress what.”

Adara and the doctor turned to look at Lucas who had been in this room for some time.

“Lucas? What are you doing here, you're not supposed to be with Cherryl right now. If you're here, who's guarding Cherryl?”

Seeing Adara's panic, Lucas tried to make his older sister calm. “Quiet brother, Cherryl together with Aunt Sabrina now. Cherryl himself who asked to go to Aunt Sabrina's house, he wanted to play in her Papa Markus room he said.”

The doctor, who was between Adara and Lucas, cleared his throat, turning the two brothers' attention back to him.

“I think it would not hurt to meet Markus with someone who if it could arouse the spirit of his life. Mark needed motivation, needed encouragement and a reason to heal. And maybe the one Mr. Lucas proposed was the key to the recovery of Markus.”

Adara shook her head disapprovingly, unable to.

It's not that Adara was trying to monopolize Cherryl and forbid him from meeting Mark. It's just that Adara was afraid if Cherryl was found with Markus, and Markus did something dangerous that could cause trauma for Cherryl.

Cherryl is still a child, and sensitive everything can be a bad impact for Cherryl if just wrong a little.

And Adara also does not want Cherryl to come to this hospital, seeing the condition of this mental hospital that is full of people with unhealthy sense. That's not good for Cherryl's own mental health.

“No.. no, Cherryl is still very small.”

“If all you're afraid of is taking the child to a place like this then you don't have to worry, we can bring them together elsewhere and also be supervised by some people who will be on guard if Markus acts dangerous.”

Adara is still silent.

Lucas patted Adara's shoulder slowly, “Ku beg sis, this is the only way.”
