Edinburgh. (In an operating theatre.) ... The beeping of the machines filled the operating theatre. The surgeon's eyes fell on the red line on the monitor screen and he panicked. "His respiratory rate is dropping. Let's finish this quickly. We need to save him at all costs." he breathed heavily. "Doc, I don't think we're going to make it. He's already lost a lot of blood. We should just give up at this point."said one of his assistants in the room. "And you call yourself a doctor? You're going to give up without even trying?" the surgeon scoffed as he sewed Quan's stomach back together. "We only have five minutes..." "Damn! Those five minutes,which you already assumed would end in his death, could save him! Get to work,you quack!"he spat. .. Laquan's eyebrows raised at Kim's mother. "Da..ad?" he chuckled. "He..wants to see me?. But why?" His mother narrowed her eyes. "Have you been drinking at the palace? You used to be very excited when your father calls you
Laquan had his food in his room. He wondered where he was. He remembered a truck hitting them. Is he okay in the present time now?. Or will he be trapped in ninety - ninety - eight forever? His breathing became labored and he closed his eyes. Oscar and his other guard were also with him. He only hoped that they were okay. He'd better hurry up and get back to his normal self. He stepped out and called for a servant. "Can you make me some chocolate?" he asked. The girl's thick eyebrows furrowed. "Cho..co..what?,master?" Laquan's face crumpled. "Cho.co.late. Don't tell me you don't know that?. It doesn't exist here?"scoffed Laquan. "Oh, I get it now. Chocolate."She nodded. Laquan scoffed. Is her brain not working well?. "I'll go buy that at the market."she said. Laquan nodded and picked up the book on the table in front of him. "Well?"he looked up at her when he realized she was still standing there. "You need to give me money to buy that, master."She pursed her lips
Laquan's breathing became seized. How did she spot him?. What kind of eyes are those staring at him?. "The people at the palace must have taught you some etiquette." she said,pulling her gaze away from him. Laquan punched his chest,softly and,repeatedly, before blowing out an air in relief. "Get me three small boxes. Nice ones." he requested. "What are you going to use them for?. Don't tell me you're going to split the chocolate in three and make one for Wednesday, one for Thursday, and one for Friday? Wow, you've never been prudent with food. What has come over you,master?"she put her hand on her chin. "The chocolate is for three women. Now go.." "Are you starting a polygamous family?"she interjected. Laquan sighed in frustration. "No. It's for...my fiancée and her two younger siblings."he lied. "Oooh, I see. I can't be less happy that you've found someone to share your life's burdens with."She jumped up. "The sooner you get married, the sooner I will be free of your end
"Gentlemen, gentlemen. Listen to me. I was sent by scholar Kim. You can ask the princess what..." Christine tried to explain as they dragged her inside. She clutched the cloth that held the boxes to her chest,panting heavily. "Don't you know scholar Kim?. How can you be so rude to the servant he sent?"she remarked. "We might as well charge you with slandering Scholar Kim." one replied,grumpily. Damn it! She had agreed to come to the palace because of an handsome guard she had bumped into at the market. She thought coming here would give her another chance to see him. Damn! "Who's there?" a voice sounded behind them. They stopped dragging her. "Good evening, sir." the two men greeted. The man behind them just nodded, his eyes on Christine. "And who is that?" he nudged his head at her. "She's just a random girl trying to lie her way into the palace. She said Scholar Kim sent her here,but we know he would never send someone this late." The man tilts his head to the s
Christine left the palace after handing out the last box to the last princess. Could what Kim had told her be true? It doesn't look like the second and last princess doesn't like him. They, infact dotes on him the most, for them to have come out to receive the boxes themselves. What game is Kim playing?. Christine shook her head as she remembered how Juliana and Emily had reacted. Pure fantasy. Pure fantasy it is. Kim is definitely playing the playboy card. But,is that how much he wants to die?. .. In Lala's quarter. ~ Lala opened the box slowly and as soon as the chocolate's aroma hit her nose,she closed the box again. She drummed her fingers on it and suddenly giggled. How did he know chocolate was her favorite?. "Owww..." she pursed her lips cutely. If only this could be framed,she would hang it on the wall so she could see it every morning when she wakes up. She must have saved an hero in her last life..for Kim to have chosen her,the first and the least pretty
Present Time ~ **Edinburgh. Stephen stormed inside the hospital with Alessandro. "Where is the doctor?"he demanded angrily from the nurses at the station. "Please,calm down,sir. Did you booked any appoin.."one of the nurse was saying. "Shit! You're not deaf,are you?. I want to see the doctor. No,I want to see my grandson. Where the hell is he?"Stephen shouted. "Who is your.."the nurse wanted to ask who his grandson was but a colleague poked her rib and whispered something in her ears. The nurse gasps. "Oh! Mr Montessori?! Follow me,sir."she stepped out of the nurse's station and began walking away. Stephen and Alessandro followed behind her. She took them to the doctor's office. "Sirs,the doctor is in here."she uttered,bowed and scurried away. Stephen bolted inside the room. Alessandro stood outside. "Tell me my son is alive."Stephen rasped. The doctor stared up at the person who just intruded inside his office,ready to give him an earful. His eyes widened instead,an
"I was joking around."Laquan chuckled, jumpily. That means Kim's mother is a Korean. Then,how did she and Kim's father met?. "Mother.."he drawled. "I have been wondering how you and dad met." "I have always sang that music in your ears every night, during bedtime. I still told you two days ago."she scrunched up her nose. "What?. Oh,yes,yes, I remember now."Laquan swallowed hard. Why is Kim and his parents so close?. He probably cannot ask any questions relating to them again as they seem to have told him everything about themselves. "Kim,are you really okay?. Should I call a physician over?. To me,it seems as if you've lost your memory." Laquan bursted into laughter. "Now,that's the exaggeration side of 'tired'. Why would you even think I've lost a memory?. I'm just tired,and that's all." She extended her hand and placed it on his forehead. "Your temperature is fine."she minced out before removing her hand. "I already said I am good. Just a little tired. This little.
Britney was sharpening her nails, carefully,and stealing glances at the movie featuring on the television at intervals. Her phone vibrated on the table and she stared at the caller - Unknown. She declined the call,feeling unsure. She doesn't know why a tension is building up inside her. She tried to recall all that she's read,saw,or thought that morning or the previous night that could be the cause of that. However,she couldn't find a reason,at all. She sighed out. She cuts herself accidentally and she let's out a sharp sigh. She brought her injured finger to her eyes and gazed at it before sucking the blood. She winced a little. Why is this happening?. She closed her eyes for a moment of peace,then her phone's ringing tone blared into the air again. She grabbed it from the table,accepted the call before placing the phone on her left ear. She might as well vent her frustration on the caller. "Who is this?"she demanded,brusquely. "Don't be so rude,miss Britney. This is
