Regina fixed her gaze on the wall, lost in thought. She knew she was going to die as there was no way to get her treated.

She overheard the doctor talking about her sickness being critical and rare. There was no solution to it.

Tears rolled down her eyes but she was too weak to wipe it off. Bianca hadn't checked up on her, and she knew she was probably crying her eyes out somewhere.

'This is how my end would be?' she wondered as more tears flowed down her eyes.

The door was opened slowly and Bianca peeped in. Seeing she was awake, she slowly walked in with a smile which Regina knew was fake, and shut the door behind her.

"How are you doing now?" She questioned and walked closer. "The doctor said you will be discharged soon. He prescribed some medicines and said you will be alright. He finally found a solution to it," she lied and that made Regina smirk.

"You don't have to lie, sis. I know I am dying," she answered, trying to act nonchalant. "I overheard the doctor speaking to a nurse

    The nurse quickly took a glance at her and answered politely, "The doctor is busy right now. You have to wait or come back tomorrow. He has many patients waiting for him," she went back to typing on her computer.Regina looked back and noticed the people waiting. They were over twenty and that made her frown. She couldn't wait until the last person.She faced the nurse again and said, "But I need to see him now. I am in a critical condition and he is the only one who can help me."The nurse took her gaze away from the computer and looked at her. "Everyone waiting for him always has critical conditions that require urgent treatment. Other doctors are available to attend to you.""They can't treat me.""Ma'am, Dr Damien is busy. You either wait or you let other doctors treat you," she laid out the options for her and went back to typing on her computer.Regina let out a deep breath and thought of what to do. An idea came to her and she faced the Nurse again."Can you please tell him Reg

    The nurses hurried to Damien who held Regina. He looked at her and noticed how thin and pale she had become.Her illness had become critical and he blamed himself for not informing them about it earlier."Take her to a room on the third floor," he instructed and they laid her on the stretcher and wheeled it to the elevator."Sir, what should we do about her? Should I inform her family to come take her out?" Eric questioned, staring at his boss in curiosity.Damien let out a deep breath and put his hands in his pockets. "Her condition is critical and if not treated immediately, she won't survive it," he answered dryly.Eric drew his brows together and walked closer to him. "Are you trying to attend to her?" He questioned in awe. "Even after what she did to destroy this hospital and your career too? She hates this hospital and has done a lot of things."Damien

    A few hours ago…Bianca hurried out of Regina's ward, which she regretted later. She should have stayed or rather, locked the door, she had thought.She got to Dr Ethan's office and asked for help but as usual, he revealed that her sister's case had no solution. She was going to die.It suddenly felt as if she died too and was left as an empty shell.She went back to the room and opened the door to her worst nightmare. Regina was nowhere to be found. She searched the restroom, searched the waiting room, she frantically searched everywhere but couldn't find her."Regina please," She cried, looking at every ward but she was in none."We should check the CCTV," Dr Ethan, who helped to search for Regina, suggested.Without saying a word, she hurried to the security control room, and the footage of the hour she left played out. She pray

    They both stared at each other with no words being spoken. Bianca was perplexed seeing the changes in him while Damien had his mind occupied with the memory of the day she informed him about getting divorced.He let out a deep breath and broke the stare. He looked at Regina who was still unconscious and walked to her bed."How is she? What is wrong with her?" Bianca finally asked after minutes of silence."Her condition is bad," he answered, checking her vitals. "Her blood pressure keeps dropping. There has been no improvement in her health. The only thing I could boast about is the medication keeping her alive," he answered professionally and looked at her."This is a rare disease and she is in the third stage," he revealed.Bianca's heart skipped a beat and she averted her gaze back to her sister. "She won't die right?""We can't be too sure. There is no so

    Her smile was fake and he could tell at just a glance. She was pretending to be strong but deep down, he knew she was broken inside."I can spare a few minutes," he answered and she pulled out a chair and sat down."It's about Regina. I want to know the progress of her treatment. Why hasn't she woken up yet?"He let out a deep breath and drew back. "I can't say when she will regain consciousness. That is not within my power. And for the treatment, I haven't found a positive result," he answered and watched her face drop.She looked so tired at that moment. "There should be a way, right?""There would be, but I am trying to find that way," he answered and drew forward. "Like I said, this is a rare case and the research done on it was dropped. But, I made a promise and I am going to fulfill it," she assured."I know I am asking too much. Regina is the last pers

    The commenters might be right. Maybe the end fate is death. Damien let out a deep breath and put his hands in his white coat's pocket. "We will be undergoing lab tests and monitoring the changes. This hospital has the best doctors, so we will be able to come up with something," he answered. "Maybe she didn't need all kinds of medicines, but just a little medicine and that would do the job."Bianca let out a deep breath, feeling reassured. It's been three weeks since Regina fell sick, and it was the first time she got a reassuring word. She looked at Damien and the corners of her lips curled up unknowingly. She knew she could trust Damien. He was capable and she was glad Regina had come into the hospital. "I believe you," she muttered and he looked at her, not expecting her reply. She cleared her throat and quickly said, "I believe that you and your doctors will save my sister. This hospital already has a good review. I am rest assured and relaxed."Damien nodded and sat down. "Alr

    She dropped her hand and her smile faded. "Why? I am so irritated now that I can't bring the pain relievers to you?" She questioned and walked in completely. "That's not it," Damien answered and rubbed his neck. He wasn't expecting her to be in his office at that time. "I wasn't expecting you."She nodded and dropped the pain reliever pills on the table. "Anyway, I saw him hurrying to your office and he seemed uneasy. He told me he got a call from home about his grandma and had to rush out, so I volunteered to bring this to you," she explained and tried to look at his computer, but couldn't reach him."Is there a positive response?" She questioned with curiosity lacing her voice.Damien picked up the pain relievers and examined them. He went to take a bottle of water and sat back. "You aren't saying anything," she said, seeing he was planning to ignore her. "This is about my sister and I need to know her progress.""There is no positive response. If there is, I will let you know," h

    Bianca looked at him with her brows drawn together. A cure? She wondered. Not getting an explanation from him, she looked back at the paper."That is the cure?"Damien ignored her question and sat down. He typed the medicine's name in his computer and when it came into view, he let out a deep breath and drew closer. "This might be it," he muttered, getting Bianca more curious. "What are you talking about?" she questioned and bent a bit to see what he was doing. "I am confused right now. Did you find the medication for her?"Damien let out a deep breath and moved his hair back. "Who would have thought a critical illness would be cured by a simple medication," he finally said, looking at her. Bianca stood straight and drew her brows. "Do you mean the immune booster?"He nodded and scrolled down the results displayed on the screen. "Absolutely," he simply answered and began to type more results. Bianca stared intently at the screen and arched her brows. She averted her gaze to Damien

    Bianca stared at her for a few minutes before she averted her gaze to the bags she held. "Where are you going to, Regina?" She asked. "Why do you care?" Regina asked, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice. "Why shouldn't I care? You are with your bags," she looked into the room and saw the emptied wardrobe. "You are leaving this house and you cared not to tell anyone. What is going on with you, Regina?"Regina rolled her eyes and gripped her bag tightly. "I am going on a vacation and I will be out for long. I am tired of everything going on. You, mother, father, and everyone been bewitched. It is killing me that no one is listening to me!" She answered and paused for a few seconds to see her sister's reaction, but got nothing. Her sister was staring at her emotionlessly like she didn't believe her. She went on, "I just need a break from all these. The sickness, the troubles, you all." Bianca stared at her for a few seconds before she let out a deep breath and leaned her shou

    Eleanor walked closer and folded her arms beneath her bosoms. "This will a big evidence to clear your name. You were with Charlotte and both of us can testify in court," she clapped her hands. "We have CCTV cameras. The footage of that night would be a big piece of evidence for you.""You are right. I was worried the scandal would rise again," he answered and she nodded in response. "It will, but as long as we come up with a way to clear your name, the scandal will be handled later," she said and let out a deep breath. "Why didn't we think of this before?""Let me finish this call and we talk about it," he said and moved away while she went back in. "Mike, are you still on?" He asked and got a hum on the other end. "Of course. I overheard everything. There is hope for this case. If we can get the evidence you were with the ladies, that would clear your name easily," he said. "Why don't you come over let's talk about this. I got something you will be interested in.""Alright. I will

    Damien walked into a VIP's room with his hands in his pocket and his eyes fixed on the lady sitting on the bed. He got closer and stared at her without saying a word. "Are you going to keep staring at me? What do you want to say? Just say y now or forever hold your peace," she said with a frown plastered on her face. "What do you think I want to say?" He asked and folded his arms, waiting for an answer. Charlotte smirked and answered, "You can't be cool with everything that happened. I caused a lot of trouble for you and in the end, I still had to rely on you. There would be so much for you to say.""Caused trouble? Yes, you did, but it was never your fault. All you have to do is focus on recovering your body. Even though you are fine now, you need to relax and not think about that. We can talk about it when you are fully recovered," he said and scoffed. "I know I am to rest. You are not the one to tell me what to do." She rolled her eyes and laid back. "I will get better as soon

    "Damien?" Mike called from inside. Damien looked at his wristwatch and sighed deeply. He had just a few minutes to get to his meeting with his lawyers. "Yes Mike, it's me," he answered.It took a few minutes before Mike opened the door, smiling nervously. "Williams, what are you doing here this time?"Damien drew his brows, not expecting his question. "Are you busy?" He asked and peeped in. "Or is there someone in there?" Mike glanced over his shoulder and averted his gaze back to Damien. "There is no one in there. Come in," he said and opened the door wide enough. "I guess you have something important to tell me."Damien looked around the office in suspicion, but he found no one. He wondered why Mike looked so tense if there was nobody in the office, but his thought was cut off when Mike said, "Would you like coffee? I mean, this is your first time in my office."Damien drew his brows together, wondering why he was so nice to him. Mike was always the guy who hated acting nice and w

    Mike stared at her for a few minutes, still taken aback by the sudden barge in and her words. He let out a deep breath and leaned back against his seat. "You want to ruin him?" He asked with his brows furrowed. Regina quickly nodded and sat down before him. "I am tired of that man. He has succeeded in bewitching my family and now, they can't even think straight," she answered, scowling deeply. Mike let out a deep breath and folded his arms against his chest. "I thought you never wanted to see me.""I didn't come here for you to say that to me. Just help me out and I will pay you any amount you want. Name your price.""Still as rude as ever," he muttered and drew closer. "Damien met with me a few days ago and he said I should investigate you," he said, staring at her intently. Damien didn't suspect Regina. He was in denial that she would go that far in killing anyone. But deep down Mike's heart, he knew Regina had something to do with it. She was desperate.Regina's eyes went round

    Bianca furrowed her brows in concern, wondering what had happened at home. She looked at the patient's guardian and said, "Please excuse me."She walked out of the ward and called Regina's number but she didn't pick up. Her heart picked up a fast race as she thought of what might have happened to her. Their last encounter before she left didn't end well. She remembered going back to Regina's room to get her purse which she left behind and heard her say something about been doomed. She walked in and saw how shocked Regina was. She got suspicious, wondering if she was scared because she said Damien had a lead. "What is going on? Why are you doomed?" She asked."Doomed? I never said that," she argued and tried to smile, but Bianca wasn't foolish. She knew she forced it."I clearly heard you say it. Why are you doomed? Because I said Damien had a lead that would prove he is not guilty?" Bianca went on to ask, staring at sister intently."Well, that's not it. The truth is, I wanted to u

    Bianca walked into a patient's room who was getting fed by his wife. They both had their attention on her when she opened the door. She walked in and smiled warmly at them. "I see you are busy. I apologize for coming in now," she said."Who are you?" The woman asked, with no memory of seeing her before. "I am Bianca Calloway, a friend of Dr Damien," she introduced and went on. "I know this is too much to ask, but I need your help."The couple both glanced at each other, wondering what kind of help she needed from them. They had no idea who she was. "As long as it's something we can help with, we will gladly help you. We are done eating anyway," the wife answered. Bianca nodded and sat down. "It's about the ongoing case of the patient's death. I am sure you have heard of it," she started and they nodded in response. "Too bad a good doctor like him has to go through all these," the wife said feeling pity for him. She let out a deep breath and looked at Bianca. "By the way, I am Lis

    Bianca walked into the hospital and just as luck would have it, she sighted Eric first talking to a doctor. "Just who I want to meet," she muttered and walked to him. The reporters were still not giving up and were gathered outside. Although, Damien had been able to escape being interviewed. She stood a few distance away from Eric and when he glanced at her, she waved to inform him she was there to see him. Eric drew his brows, wondering why she was in the hospital, but he ignored her and averted his attention back to the doctor to who he was talking. After what seemed like forever, the doctor finally left and she hurried to him. "Good day, Mr. Eric.""It's you again. What do you want?""I need a favor from you. A very important… favor," she said stressing the 'important' so he would know how serious she was. He stared at her for a few seconds before he let out a deep breath and said, "Come with me."She nodded and followed him, trying her best not to do anything to provoke him.

    Mike stared at him for a few minutes before he smiled meticulously. "I like the sound of that," he said and drew closer. "What is this job you have for me?" The restaurant staff came in along with two other waiters, carrying their orders in a tray. The two men stopped taking as they set the food on the table. Immediately they were done, they left the room, giving them privacy. "Now tell me, what is this job I have to do?" "Someone was murdered in my hospital. Someone who doesn't deserve this painful death and the murderer wiped out every trace leading to them. The plan is to make me take the blame," Damien explained and Mike nodded, understanding his situation. "Oh, you are talking about the patient murdered in your hospital. It is popular news. That's a pretty bad one but I love cases like this," he said. "I want you to find out who did it and I want it secretly done. As long as the person could do a clean job like this, we are not dealing with a stupid one." Mike nodded.
