“Simoun once become a university professor. She was his student,” wika ni Richmond na siyang sumurpresa kay Valeen. “W-what?” Pagtataka niya.

That woman Beatrize happened to be his student,” kuwento ni Richmond. “I-ibig sabihin niyo po uncle, kilala niyo ang babaeng ‘yon?” Kilala lang ni Valeen si Beatrize bilang isa sa mga naging babae ni Simoun. Wala siyang alam sa ibang impormasyon tungkol sa dalawa. “Not that much. Her father is a lawyer and her mother is a small business owner.

And as of now, he’s still under his fake father’s control.Good thing that his fake father not yet banned him, threat palang.

Natapos nang gamutin ni Simoun ang sugat ni Raphael. Nilalagyan na niya ito ngayon ng band aid.“It’s done,” saad niya nang matapos.“It doesn’t hurt tito,” matapang na wika ni Raphael.“Still next time, you have to be careful, okay?”Tumango ang bata. “Opo, tito.”“Very good.” Umayos ng tayo si Simoun.“’Yong parents niya, kailangan natin siyang ibalik,” ani ko.“Tumawag nalang tayo ng security at manatili muna rito,” suhestyon niya.I think, it’s way better.
