Serpens slowly regained consciousness in the hospital bed, his body heavy and his mind clouded with dizziness. The sterile scent of antiseptic and the distant hum of medical equipment filled the room. As he opened his eyes, they felt leaden, and a wave of fatigue washed over him. He tried to sit up but winced at the lingering pain from his injuries.Moments of his encounter with Winter flashed before his eyes, a reawakening of the brutal fate he had suffered in the hands of Winter. Not in his wildest dreams had he expected to be so humiliated by Winter. He wished he could undo everything, but he couldn't. He had lost to Winter and it was just a bitter pill that he had to endure swallowing.Dr. Sun noticed his movement and quickly approached, her face lighting up with relief. "You're awake," she said warmly, checking his vitals. "How are you feeling?"She had checked up on him a couple of times already and each time she did, it always left her in awe. Serpens's wounds healing by them

“I think Winter is hiding something from us?” Cheong was the first to speak up. “I agree with you,” Yul concurred. Tiara was quiet. She didn't know what to say but at the same time, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something strange with Winter.Ever since that night that they stopped Serpens on the road, he had suddenly become withdrawn from the rest of the team. He doesn't attend their meetings anymore and wouldn't even call to ask for permission prior to the meeting stating the reasons why he'll not be able to attend.“Cheong,..., I want you to pay him a visit on our behalf and find out what the reason for his recent conduct was.” Yul instructed, his voice authoritative.Turning to Tiara,” Babe, I might not be able to take you home. I have a meeting with the board of directors.” He said as the meeting came to an end.Cheong had to leave with Tiara while Yul went ahead to attend the meeting with that board of directors. His father had called to let him know that h

Inspector Lui stood up, a warm smile tugging at the corner of his lips as Dr. Sun approached him. He extended a hand, his eyes beaming with blessedness."Thanks for coming," Inspector Lui said, pulling out a chair for her.It'll be the first time in a very long time that inspector Lui has asked a lady out. He's been so busy with his job as a CIA agent that he had forgotten that there comes a time in a man's life when he'll need to find the perfect woman for him.His recent encounters with Dr. Sun at the hospital over Serpens's case had made him realize that there was indeed a heart within him that also yearned for love and affection."Of course," Dr. Sun replied, taking a seat. "I’ve been sulking all day in the house and I really needed something to take me out of the house,” she admitted, a playful smile tugged at the corners of her lips. “Really?” Inspector Lui's surprise was palpable.“Yeah, yeah,” Dr. Sun smiled. “So what are we having?” She went further to ask.“Let's see what t

As Serpens lay on his bed that night, he couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that gnawed within him. He had no idea that Winter would go to such lengths to show off his powers. He missed his own powers and wondered if the day will ever come when he'll have them fully back again.Just then, his phone buzzed and it was a call from Mr. Leonardo. They've been waiting for him to call and tell them how his fishing expedition had gone.Mr. Xian had been waiting for his delivery and Serpens was their only hope.“Hello, Serpens,” Mr. Leonardo began. “What about the fish you promised to deliver yesterday? The client is waiting.” He stressed.Serpens eyes opened wide. He didn't know how to tell him that he had failed to catch the fish because he was unable to transform to his dragonic form.But, all the same, he knew he had no choice but to tell him that he was unable to get the prided catch and they should possibly look for someone else to help them with it.“I'm sorry Mr. Leonardo,” Serpen

Inspector Lui and Dr. Sun sat together, hands intertwined. It was like the time should just stand still and never end. They shared another beautiful kiss, enveloped by the romantic atmosphere surrounding them. They went further to talk about Serpens and how he was dealing with the fact that his powers were no longer with him.“I hope he is handling it well?” Dr. Sun said, her voice gentle and filled with genuine concern.“Serpens is a strong kid. He'll pull through. I know his powers will return.” Inspector Lui replied.“You think so?”“I know so,”After another couple of minutes, it was time for Inspector Lui to return home.He took Dr. Sun's hands in his, staring into her beautiful eyes. It was completely Magic. He felt lost in them.“We'll see again, maybe weekend.” Inspector Lui said, his eyes filled with warmth and affection.Dr. Sun nodded, “Yes we will.”She hugged him the tightly, her head resting on his well built masculine frame, as she listened to his heart beat with the r
