Sheila was sitting on a long bench in a hospital with quite chaotic conditions. Medics repeatedly persuaded Sheila to be examined. They are worried about Sheila's psychic condition which looks very shocked by what has just happened to her.
But Sheila refused. He just wants to be alone right now to digest every detail that just happened with him and Nathan. The man is now in the care of the doctor after Boy came in time to help Sheila.
Soon Boy and Lian come to Sheila. Lian was very sorry about what happened with Sheila.
"Sheila.." call Lian and make the girl turn her head.
Lian immediately hugged Sheila. Her tears broke as she hugged Sheila.
"I'm sorry Mama, Sheila. Forgive Mama for not telling you about this matter from the start."
Sheila. He himself was still confused by what happened. His life and Nathan's been fine all along. But tonight everything seems to change.
"Mama will tell you everything." Lian took off her embrace and clasped Sheila's hands together.
Sheila listened intently to every explanation Lian spoke. From what Sheila caught, Nathan had a trauma. He was raised in an orphanage until he was 2 years old and adopted by the Langdon family. At the age of 5 years finally Nathan managed to get together with his biological family, the Avicenna family.
But many things are different because as he grew up in adolescence, Lian was more concerned about Boy who was feared to have a history of heart disease like his father. The attention he never got made him a different person even though from outside Nathan looks strong.
Nathan comforts himself by always coming to the orphanage and meeting his childhood friend Celia. He felt happy even though his biological family paid less attention to him.
And when Celia finally disappears from Nathan's life, she becomes a different figure. She was traumatized by being abandoned by someone who made her days happy.
Lian and Roy are trying to heal all that trauma. They pay more attention and also do hypnotherapy so that he forgets the bitter past in his life.
Nathan meets Sheila and falls in love for the first time. Whatever Nathan will do to get Sheila's heart and to keep Sheila by his side. Sometimes Nathan behaves very normally, but in some circumstances, he will act out of bounds, for example as he did today.
"I'm sorry Mama... It's all Mama's fault..." Lian sobbed to end her story.
Sheila tried to stay calm in the face of all this. Now he sits in front of a gurney over which Nathan's body remains closed.
"When will he wake up, Doctor?" sheila asked the doctor who treated Nathan. He is Liam's doctor and Nathan's best friend.
His father used to handle Nathan, and now he has to continue his father's struggle. Liam has not seen Nathan relapse in years since his father's recovery. Not that Liam blames Sheila for what happened today. But there could be something that triggers the trauma back.
"Tomorrow he's back to consciousness. And I hope you're not talking about what happened last night. Because he doesn't remember it at all" Liam explained.
Sheila gave a rough sigh. She was almost killed because of her husband, but her husband did not remember anything. It sounded funny in Sheila's ears.
"If you really love her, then .. you have to help her recover from all this."
Sheila looked at Nathan's calm face as she closed in. Who would have thought there was a different side to a warm and loving Nathan.
"Can I do it, Doctor?" ask Sheila.
"Yes. You can be his healer. Just be by his side and give him attention. It's good if .. you quit your job. Sorry if I had to say this. You better get some rest, too." Liam patted Sheila on the shoulder and then walked out of Nathan's nursery.

The next day, Nathan opened his eyes and saw Sheila fall asleep in a sitting position and head leaning against her gurney. Nathan smiled.
"Sheila.." she called out softly as she rubbed Sheila's strung hair.
Gaining a touch, Sheila awakens and sees Nathan smiling at her.
"Nate? Are you awake?" sheila asked a little nervously. Because he was afraid of getting a sharp spotlight like last night. But the look in those eyes was gone.
"Sheila! Missed you!" Nathan took Sheila in his arms.
Sheila only resigned when Nathan hugged her very tightly. Little by little he loosened Nathan's embrace.
"Nate.." said Sheila.
"I'm sorry it scared you" Nathan said.
Sheila was surprised to find that Nathan remembered what he had done last night. Didn't Doctor Liam say Nathan wouldn't remember? Sheila tried to stay calm.
"It's okay. I'm here, Nate." Sheila replied.
"You're not leaving me, are you?" nathan asked, still covering Sheila's face.
"Yes. I won't leave you." Sheila replied, staring at Nathan.
Nathan smiled then did the usual five-second touch. But it was not enough for him. Nathan repeated it again until it lasted for a few minutes.
Sheila resigned herself and replied to Nathan's every touch. The touch now feels different. Nathan started demanding and wanting more.
"Nate, here..." Sheila stopped.
"It's in the hospital. There's no way we..."
Nathan doesn't care about Sheila's babbling. She pulled Sheila's body closer. Sheila won't be able to leave until Nathan gets what he wants.
"Nate, don't you..." Sheila's preventing Nathan.
I don't know when it started but now Sheila's body is under Nathan's body. Nathan continues to guerrilla.
"Nate... I'm..."
Nathan shut Sheila's lips. His breath was already hunting and would be unstoppable.
Sheila blinked her eyes when one by one the cloth attached to her body was removed by Nathan.
"Nate! I'm coming to the moon!" sheila exclaimed, immediately stopping Nathan's activity who was taking off Sheila's pajamas.
Nathan gave a rough sigh. "All right!" said resignedly.
Sheila put her pajamas back on. He apologized for upsetting Nathan.
"Sorry..." Sheila hugged the body of her bare-chested husband.
"It's okay. I'll wait for you." Nathan said, making Sheila's heart cut.
Sheila never thought the man she loved would have such a deep trauma.
"I'm still sleepy. I want to sleep again" Nathan said.
Sheila nodded. He put Nathan's pajamas back on and laid his body down. Nathan pulled Sheila's body to lie down with him.
Sheila could not resist. He was silent when Nathan grabbed him. They hugged each other over the hospital gurney. Nathan repeatedly peeps Sheila's head.
There was soon a soft snoring from Nathan. Sheila glanced at her husband's face. Sheila must put aside her work and take care of Nathan first.
Outside the room, Liam and Boy listen to all of Nathan and Sheila's conversations. The room was deliberately tapped to find out Nathan's development after waking up from a long sleep.
"How can he still remember what he did last night, Liam?" boy asked confused. This has never happened to Nathan.
"Come, Brother. Looks like Nathan found the antidote."
"You mean?"
"Sheila is a healer of what Nathan has been through all this time."
"Well?!" Boy still does not believe Liam's speculation.
"Hopefully Sheila is strong enough to be a healer for Nathan" Liam closed while pressing the button to turn off the eavesdropper in Nathan's nursery.
