Chapter 21

• My school days went smoothly. There were no annoying reporters since Mister Clasiso and I had talked that afternoon. It did me a great favor. At least I wouldn’t encounter those cunning reporters. There were plenty of them, and without Dad’s reputation and, yeah... protection, I might not have stood a chance. Besides, they were workers from ten of the most respectable entertainment companies.
• I also noticed a significant change in Japen's health lately. He was always tired and sleep-deprived. It worried me so much that I took the initiative to visit him on that Saturday morning. I flew from Naga down to San Fernando.
• The first thing I noticed was that he was burning hot in his cold and hard bed. He didn’t open his eyes either, so I called our family doctor to come over to San Fernando. It took him almost an hour before he stood in front of him.
