Seventy-one: The end of happiness
The water was warm against her skin and the scented candles and rose petals created a tantalizing aroma that lingered in the bathroom and caressed her nostrils. The shadow of the flames on the candle as they danced reflected on her face in the dark and it magically soothed her. Mrs Andrews raised the glass of red wine to her lips and took a sip from it before returning back to where it was. A sigh escaped her mouth as she stared at the flames of the candles as they performed a dance ritual, moving in a symmetrical rhythm. A drop of tear rolled down her face and dripped into the water she was sitting in. There was nothing that helped her relieve stress like spending a long while in the bathtub.If only she hadn't gotten married to a monster like Mr Andrews, maybe she would have been happy. Maybe her beauty would still sweep men off their feet. Even with all the expensive cosmetics she used on a family basis, she was still aging rather quickly due to the way she lived.If she hadn'

Her parents had told her that they would call it off if she didn't graduate with good grades so she studied hard and her result was mind blowing.

Seventy-three: Not so deadly, is it?
"MV3 was known all through for its deathly threats and maiming symptoms. There are five stages of this virus which we all know about but I will go over them again just to make sure we are on the same page. The first person to contract the deadly virus went through the following stages."Stage one, where he slowly began to lose his strength and ability to move around and do things like he used to. In other words, fatigue."Stage two, when he suddenly didn't have the energy to ingest food or even liquids. In other words, severe loss of appetite."Stage three, loss of weight slowly creeps in due to the fact that he was not eating or drinking at all. In other words, drastic weight loss."Stage four, his vision started to become blurry and he could barely see until one day when he woke up and all he could see was darkness. In other words, loss of sight."Stage five, unfortunately, is when the patient sleeps to never wake up again. In other words, death. "Now while his body passed through

Seventy-four: A miracle happens
The sound of the dishes and bowls as Ivan arranged them into each other caught her attention. She followed the sound of the noise and turned to face the direction.Ivan noticed her as she turned and his lips spread into a smile. "Be honest, it wasn't that good." She smiled, "it wasn't the best thing I have ever had but it also wasn't the worst. To be honest, I don't think I have had broth before or even jell-O." "Are you joking with me right now?" "I'm being serious. My parents... My former parents were so obsessed with my health since I happened to fall ill quite often for someone that isn't a sickle cell. "My former mom would go crazy when she saw me eating something sweet and sugary. She always warned me about cavities and other crazy things that could happen to me if I ate sweets." She explained to him."Well I guess I wasn't expecting a different story. I grew up in a home where anything that is consumable is our breakfast, lunch and dinner, be it sweets or just cabbages." "

Seventy-five: Will you marry me?
Ivan froze for a second, his senses had been disoriented for a while before it all came back to him. "You... You can..." He stuttered.China nodded with teary eyes. "You can see me?" He asked her."Yes, yes I can... Not all that clearly but I can still see." She said. "Your astronaut outfit is ridiculous." She expressed with a chuckle. He couldn't help but to chuckle as well. Tears filled his eyes in an instant as he moved closer to her and held her hand in his. "I am so relieved, I felt so bad that you wouldn't get to see me." Her lips spread into a weak smile. "Not as bad as I did, you don't know how happy I am with the fact that I can finally see your face. I badly wanted to make fun of your costume and now I can." They both chuckled. "Would you like me to wake doctor Winston? Maybe he would like to run a few tests or something." Ivan asked.China shook her head negatively. "He is just as weak and tired as I am, I would know better. I want him to get some rest so he can feel

Seventy-six: Birch trees
Doctor Winston squinted his eyes a little while staring at some scripts in his hand. He flipped a page and studied the other page. He sucked in air through his mouth as he dropped the paper on a table and took off his reading glasses. "Tsk tsk tsk..." "Is there a problem doctor?" Ivan asked as he crossed one arm below his chest and placed the other hand on his chin."I won't lie... I'm a bit confused myself." Doctor Winston explained."Why?" China asked.Doctor Winston turned to face both of them. "As for me, I am receiving the same treatment as every other MV3 virus patient and they all went blind eventually but I can still see."As for China, her sight went and returned, which means or hopefully it means that our test is moving in the positive direction." "Wait wait wait," Ivan interrupted them. "Moving in the positive direction?" "That means that it might actually be going well." China interpreted."No I know that, like I am just asking if he is sure of what he is saying." Ivan

Seventy-seven: Arising issue
Mia's eyes grew wider as she heard the words coming out of Berlin's mouth. Did he just propose to her?"Wait what?" She asked as she sprung up."Mia I want you to marry me, this is not a joke or anything, I swear." Berlin assured her.He also sat up in bed and faced her properly. "But... But... Aren't you like still keeping the promise you made with your wife?" She questioned confusedly. "Well... Since the day I fell in love with you, I had been thinking of spending the rest of my life with you and when I saw you, I knew you were the one. "I told myself that I would have no choice than to break the promise I made to my deceased wife. My life has been very lonely since the day she left me but when I met you, you brought a spark that was all so new to me."It felt like I had never experienced love before with the way I experienced it with you and I just want to be with you for the rest of my life.

Seventy-eight: Searching for him
"Apparently, Mr Andrews decided to search for you through the police force. He reported a child missing, telling them everything about you when you were little and how you suddenly disappeared after the death of your patents."He said he already made the arrangement to adopt you after the death of your patents and he even provided all the adoption papers from over twenty two years ago."You were only eight months old then. He said after he did all the needful, you suddenly went missing and he had been trying to find you ever since." Alfred walked back and forth in Ivan's hospital room as he explained everything to him.Ivan took a deep breath as he stared at the floor. His mind was lost amidst the confusing puzzle."But... But why did this officer, uh..." "Officer Redd." "Yeah! Officer Redd, why did officer Redd call you to tell you about this? Does he know that I am the heir to Wayne?" Ivan asked."Officer Redd is a very cautious man and he always tells me things going on at the s

Seventy-nine: Jennie Cooper
Jennie looked at her colleagues with fear and confusion in her eyes. Her lips suddenly began to tremble as she attempted to speak. "You think... You are saying that..." She stuttered. "We --we don't know for sure so we are not saying that you have it. Everyone at the hospital has entered panic mode because of the sudden outburst of the virus and we need everyone present to help treat our patients." One of her colleagues explained to her."I don't have any virus, you could have just said you needed help at the hospital and I would have rushed over." Jennie said as she wiped off the drop of warm tear that escaped her eyes and rolled down her face. "No, Jennie, we need to test you first." "No! I said I don't have that deadly virus! I am positive that I don't have such a virus! What makes you come up with such speculations?! Huh?! Because I came down with a simple cold huh? I--" Jennie winced from the pain of a needle piercing through her skin. "What... What did you..." She looked b

Doctor Winston couldn't hide it, he was a bit nervous. Talking to thousands of people about what he found out from his deadly test and study.But if there was one thing that made him feel more confident about what he had China had planned, it was the fact that his thesis healed not just him but two more patients and they were both sure it would do great with others.The way China put her words down was in a way that could convince people in an instant but a few doctors still refused to believe her.

Eating up lives like it's nothing, it's murderous!" Another exclaimed.The whole room snickered in agreement. Even the
