“Doctora, how’s my son?”

“Don’t worry, Gavin. He will be fine. He has a fever but eventually it will fade after he drinks his medicines. I already gave your wife his prescription. Kindly make sure that your son will take the antibiotics within seven days. If the pain is already unbearable, he can take some pain reliever. Oo nga pala, when the bleeding continues, painumin niyo siya ng Hemostan para maampat ang pagdurugo but don’t let him take it more than what I recommended. Your son also needs to rest at home since too much movements will trigger the bleeding. Baka mamaga rin ang gums niya kung maglililikot siya,” the dentist replied.

“Maraming salamat po,” sambit ni Gavin. Hinawakan ng dentista ang balikat niya at nginitian siya. Napalingon siya sa entrance ng clinic ng dentistang kausap niya nang tawagin siya ni Avva.

“Gavin!” Matalim na tiningnan ni Avva ang kamay ng dentistang nakahawak sa balikat nito.

Tumikhim ang dentista at agad na inalis ang kaniyang kamay sa balikat ni Gavin
