"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

Damien eyes popped open upon hearing what the man said. He brought the phone to his face to see the number before he took it back to his ear. "Dr Ahmed?" He remembered nothing about sending a message to him. "Yes. I got an email sent from you around 2 am, but I saw the email this morning," he answered, clearing Damien's confusion. "Why don't we meet to talk more about this? I am staying in the countryside. Retired last year and decided to start a new life in Middle-field. You should also consider it. This place is a lot more peaceful and quiet than you can ever imagine," he suggested. "It must be great," Damien answered, keeping his voice calm. "I will meet you in the countryside this evening."The old man agreed and hung up. Immediately he did, Damien looked at Bianca to ask about it but she was asleep. For someone who was claiming to be strong enough to remain awake, she fell asleep faster than he thought. He let out a deep breath and faced his computer. He logged into his emai

Damien drove down the road, heading to the countryside with Bianca sitting in the passenger's seat. He kept stealing glances at her and even though she noticed, she ignored him.She surprisingly knew the doctor and the countryside where he was. According to her, she had a bad history with him. Damien knew she regretted sending an email to him, as she would have done otherwise if she knew who he was.Following the map, he took the next forget wrongly and almost drove into a ditch. He stepped on the brake at the last minute. He quickly looked at Bianca and noticed how scared she was. "I am sorry. I took the turn wrongly," he apologized.Bianca placed her hand on her chest trying to calm her racing heart. She looked at him and noticed how calm he was even though they almost had a fatal accident. "I don't think this is the right turn," Damien said looking around. The road was surrounded by thick trees. Bianca looked around and shook her head. "This is not the road. We need to go left

Dr Ahmed stared at her for a few minutes before he looked away and cleared his throat. "You never told me you were coming with someone."Damien glanced at Bianca, noticing the frown on her face before he averted his gaze back to him. "She knows the area more than I do. Besides, she is an important person in this," he answered. Dr Ahmed sighed audibly and led the way to the table he had reserved. "This is the best restaurant in this area. You will love the food here and probably fall in love with this place because of it."Damien sat down and Bianca sat beside him, trying to calm herself and be composed. "I moved here last year and so far, there is not a reason to regret being here. The people are nice, the food is good, the view is great and relaxing," he further added which got Damien wondering if he wanted him to retire there by all means. "Well, I can't say much about that yet until I see it. From the report I got as a kid, Middle-field was a dangerous place," Damien answered a

Damien and Bianca stared at him in a daze, in awe of how quickly he had forgotten the research and his text message.Ahmed on his part was impatiently waiting for the waitress to bring in his order.Bianca slammed her hand on the table, bringing everybody's attention to her. She abruptly stood up and pointed a finger at him."What are you up to, huh? You are pretending not to know the reason why we are here?" She questioned, raising her voice.Damien held her hand to get her attention, but she pulled her hand away from his, with her attention focused on the doctor."Do you think you will get away with this?" She questioned and smirked. "Sorry to burst your bubbles, but you will have to pay your debts alone. It is an amount we can afford, but we will be cheeky enough not to."She picked up her purse and looked at Damien. "Let's go," she ordered.Damien was perplexed seeing how pissed off she was. He was pissed off too, but she was a different person.He smirked and stood up, to follow

Ahmed nodded and sat back. "It's easy to figure it out. Bianca never cared about anyone except herself and her family. For her to be here and eager to hear me, a family member caught the flu," he answered. "But why did you think it's Regina?" Damien questioned, curious to know how he easily figured it out."She looks worried. Regina is the most cared-for family. She would have lost her patient and left if it were her parents." He answered and looked at her. "I know her so well."Bianca pursed her lips, in surprise that he figured it out easily. Ahmed went on, "I will write down the medications for it which needs to be followed precisely. A day should never be missed. She will get better as long as it hasn't gotten to the fourth stage.""She is at the third stage," Damien answered, to which Ahmed nodded. "Then she needs to get treated before it's too late. This stage is treatable with surgery and treatments."Damien drew his brows and when he thought of something, he snapped his fing

Damian sat in the dimly lit hospital room, the rhythmic beeping of machines creating a soothing backdrop to the whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. Bianca lay in the bed, her face framed by tousled hair, eyes fluttering open as if awakening from a long, deep sleep. The moment their gazes met, a spark ignited between them, a connection that transcended the confines of the sterile room.“Damian?” she said, her voice a whisper, filled with disbelief. “Is it you?”He nodded, his heart racing as he leaned closer, absorbing every detail of her expression. It was as if time had folded in on itself, and the world outside had faded away. “Yes, it’s me. You’re safe now,” he replied, his voice steady but thick with emotion.As the reality of her surroundings settled in, Bianca’s brow furrowed in confusion. “I… I remember things, but they’re all jumbled. The last clear memory I have is—Regina!” Her voice wavered, and a tremor of disappointment coursed through her. “She knocked me out of co

Damian could barely keep up; everything was happening so fast. The noise and chaos of the hospital swirled around him, but his focus remained on Bianca. She lay unconscious, her breathing steady but shallow, and he couldn’t help but feel unsure about whether he should continue with the investigation or not. Bruno had just reported to him that apart from the wrecked car, no other evidence had been found. Regina's body was still missing. “Could she have escaped the scene? Could she have drowned?” Different questions raced through his mind, each one more troubling than the last. The uncertainty gnawed at him. He returned his gaze to Bianca, whose heartbeat had stabilized. Her color was gradually returning to normal, a sight that brought a sigh of relief from deep within him. But even as he felt a flicker of hope, the jolt of his phone interrupted his thoughts. It was Bruno again. He hesitated to pick it up, but he knew he had to—he had been involved in this case from the beginning. “A

The atmosphere became suddenly tense and eerie while Damian couldn't help clenching and unclenching his fist. They had just missed their chance of getting Regina because of his foolishness, he wouldn't stop blaming himself and Bruno wouldn't stop making numerous calls to ask for backup. Damian had just looked down on him even when he made it clear to him how much he knew Regina and Bianca. The tumbling car drew their attention. Both turned in horror as they saw a vehicle skidding off the road, tumbling dangerously before disappearing over the edge of the ridge. “Bianca!” Damian’s voice cracked, fear flooding through him like ice water. Tears filled his eyes as he called her name, his heart racing uncontrollably. Bianca was in that car—he could feel it in his bones. “Damian, we need to call for help!” Bruno, a seasoned detective, urged, his tone urgent. He quickly fumbled for his phone. But Damian was already moving, running toward the ridge without a second thought. His mind was a

Mary walked out of the water and wrapped a towel around her chest, while her gaze was fixed income Allen who was still shocked. "What? Haven't you seen a woman in her undies before?" 'But not you!' he wanted to say but the words hung in his throat. Seeing her come out of the water, made his heart skip a beat and he found himself admiring her. He swallowed hard and looked away, embarrassed that she had caught him staring for long. "The others would be out soon. Let's talk and go back," he said, averting the topic. "It's the middle of the night. No one would come out not especially to this pool," she answered and sat down on the second beach chair. "Trust me, they are all tired." She rested back and let out a deep breath. "I thought I wouldn't be able to see the stars again. I lost hope in surviving." He looked at her, taken aback by what she said. Maryjane was a strong-willed and determined lady who would be ready to face death just to survive. Hearing her say she lost hop

Allen, not expecting her sudden wake, jerked back and fell off the edge of the bed. "Damn it!" He muttered. "You are awake," he said. "Of course I am. You took so much time to wake up," she said and sat up. "You should have shown a sign that you were awake," he said and stood up. "I am hurt but you made me hurt myself again." "I see you are stronger now. You got everyone worried sick." "My hand still hurts," he admitted and went to sit on the bed. "Where is everyone?" "I don't know. I woke up and found no one here. Maybe they are all in their rooms. They must have spent the whole night trying to treat us." He looked at the clock on the wall and his eyes popped open. It was noon. "You are right, they must have spent the whole night and morning here." He sat back and let out a deep breath, grateful he was alive. He couldn't afford to die when he wasn't done with his mission. He hasn't gotten back at the people who hurt his mother. When he thought about his mother, his heart sk

"Doctor, something is happening to my brother!" Stephanie cried in horror and ran out of Dr Thompson's room. He quickly ran after her, going as fast as his legs could carry. He had left for a few minutes to get a syringe from his room and the next minute, Stephanie ran after him, crying that he had to go check her brother as something was wrong with him. "Allen you better not die," he said inwardly and entered the room. It was a cardiac arrest. "Everyone step back," he ordered and ran to the bed. He began to resuscitate him, while Stephanie, Josh, and George watched in horror. "This is all because of me," Josh thought, with his heart racing fast. "You can't die. Please don't die. I won't be able to survive the guilt." "Brother, please. Please don't leave me. I can't stay alone. Please don't go!" Stephanie cried out and rested her hands on her knees. "Please!" She added. The room was filled with tension. Everyone hoped for a miracle but with each passing second, their hope k

"Please, save my brother!" Steph cried out to Doctor Thompson. She looked at her unconscious brother and her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling about the mission and just as she suspected, he got injured. 'If only I knew, I would have stopped him,' she said inwardly, filled with regret but it was too late. He had lost a lot of blood and was at the point of death. "The two of them are in critical condition right now and I am short of assistance," Dr Thompson muttered and rubbed his neck. "We will assist in every way we can. We are not experienced, but you can tell us what to do," Josh said in determination to do everything he could to make sure Allen and Mary get better. They had risked their lives to make sure he lived, and he wasn't ready to let that go. He owed them his life. "Great. There is an opening and exit in Mary's arms, which means the bullet went out of her the moment it was shot. But for Allen, there is only an opening. He still has the bullet in his sho

Allen looked over his shoulder at the men who were very close to him. He knew it was over and he would be taken to Project Erebus. That would be the end. It would be the end of everything he was fighting for and people who lost their lives to see him safe. He let out a deep breath and shut his eyes, giving up but suddenly, he heard the door unlocked, bringing new bolts of hope to him. "It opened," Ultimate informed and without wasting another minute, he opened the door and ran out. "Hey, wait up!" He heard the agents scream at him. "Get him back here immediately," the order came in next. With Mary on his back, it was hard to run fast as she kept slowing him down because of her weight, and he was slowly losing consciousness for overworking his body. He sighted a car coming but didn't look properly until it pulled over in front of him and he realized it was his car. "Get in!" Josh yelled and without wasting another minute, Allen entered, barely missing the gun fired at him,
