The Law of Attraction

Noah called for the doctor who announced that his father had passed away. Carie was hysterical and so was Brione.

Noah watched the two ladies cry hard while he weakly sat on the chair staring at the lifeless body of his father. Everything happened so quickly. It was like their father was only holding on to see him and Brione before dying.

Noah was actually planning to go back home the same day, though he had reserved the hotel for two days because he was worried about Luo. However, now he had to extend his stay. Carie wanted Tony to be buried there so the siblings stayed back and decided to help her arrange everything for the funeral and burial of their father.

Brione finally calmed down but Carie was still hysterical. She did not move away from Tony and would not even allow the funeral staff to prepare his body. The doctor and some of the medical staff had to pin her down on the bed and sedate her to calm her down.

Brione sighed and whispered, "it's unfortunate that our father died ... She can't seem to let him go."

"But she has to… and move on. She needs to continue to live her life even if she is sad," Noah answered as both of them waited on the bench. Noah decided to do the burial the next day.

It was only a peaceful farewell with a few of the couple's closest friends. The supposedly solemn funeral turned into a mess when Carrie started shouting and blaming everyone for Tony's death.

"You two! It's also your fault! Where were you when he needed you?! He begged you to see him... He fell so sick because his heart was broken!!!" she exclaimed, glaring both at Brione and Noah.

Then she looked at the grave and fell on the ground, shouting, "Tony! Take me with you!"

They had to call for help again because Carie became uncontrollable. She attacked anyone who got near her, so they had to pin her down again and sedate her again.

The funeral soon ended and Noah settled everything at the funeral home. He and Brione brought Carie back to her house afterward.

"I have to go back first…" Noah told Brione. Brione nodded and replied, "I will stay here for a few more days. Gavin will arrive soon. I think I need to look after her for a while because she is still unstable."

Noah heaved a sigh as both of them looked at Carie who seemed to be out of herself, staring outside, mumbling alone.

"I think we need to bring her to a doctor, Noah," Brione said in concern seeing how weird Carie was acting ever since their father was buried that morning. She was somehow worried and scared at the same time, they could not leave Carie alone in her condition.

Hours passed by and Carie was not getting better. Her mental state worsened with her suddenly talking to herself, laughing, and then crying. She even insisted that their father was still alive and she wanted to dig his grave. Brione even got hurt due to Carie pushing her away when Brione tried to hug her and calm her down.

Noah let out a sigh and decided not to leave after seeing that scene. He would not leave his sister with Carie who was in a mentally unstable condition in the fear that Brione would get hurt.

Soon, Noah called for help and had Carie checked by a doctor since how Carie was behaving was alarming and it was safe to assume that she wasn't doing it purely out of sadness.

The siblings waited outside until the doctor came out of Carie's room.

"It's a mental illness… It will not be safe to leave her alone. I suggest you bring her to a mental facility," The doctor said as she continued to explain Carie's condition to Noah and Brione.

"Carie could not bear the anxiety and depression, she has started hallucinating as well. At this rate, she will have a tendency to hurt herself and everyone around her as well…" the doctor added.

The doctor said that Carie should be admitted to a mental institution so that they could check her condition, given her eating disorders and her potentially harmful behavior.

"Do you think it's better to inform Liam and Miley about this too?" Brione asked Noah.

Noah heaved a sigh and said, "I will tell them when I go back. Meanwhile, I will arrange everything for her in that facility that would help her get better."

Noah immediately made the necessary arrangements so Carie would be transferred to the institution the doctor referred. She went out of control again so they had to tranquilize her before moving her to the van which would take her to the institution.

Carie loved their father so much that she could not move on and it affected her mentally. The Sy family needed to know about her condition even though he would support and take care of everything Carie would need so that she could stay comfortably in the facility until she got better.

Noah looked at Brione and said, "Are you still staying?"

Brione nodded and said, "Yeah. Let me stay with her for a few days and make sure that everything is convenient for her recovery. After all, she treated me well before, so this is the least I can do for her."

"Alright then I will leave first," Noah said and hugged his sister.

He fell in deep thought while he was inside the car. Carie ended up going crazy and he wondered if Liam and Miley would still care to visit her since the woman was still their mother. It was scary how much she worshipped and loved his father, that in the end, she ended up having a mental disorder upon losing him.

'Poor woman,' he pitied her but then Carie did it to herself. She had no one else but her to blame for whatever was happening to her now...
