" Good morning Justin, I have good news for you. Dr Charles, the Minister of Health told Justin over the phone. He just got the report of the patients in the quarantine unit of the general hospital. They were all tested negative. This brought out another worry about how the borehole got infected, yet they weren't." I'd like to hear the good news if it's about my lovely daughter. It's been days since I set my eyes on her. Please talk to me, what is it?" Justin asked reluctantly." The report on your daughter and her negative showed negative, my friend. This is weird, how could their borehole get infected and they are not?"The Minister said, confused." Thank God o, I will be able to set my eyes on my daughter again", Lilliana shouted beside her husband. She had been eavesdropping on the men's conversation since the phone was on loudspeaker." Calm down, woman. Allow me to hear his explanation or I will rather excuse you?" Justin was about to leave the room but his wife dragged him bac
Diamond TV station had booked an appointment to interview Lilly before they were released from the quarantine unit. The interview was a public one which was played live. Lilly only agreed to the interview on the condition of being accompanied by Lucas. Lucas on the other hand did not mind, since he wanted to stay close to her. The TV station bus was on standby, so immediately they came out of the hospital, they were conveyed directly to their office."We are happy to have you here, Miss Lilly, likewise Mr Lucas. I hope we didn't inconvenience you", the presenter asked." Not at all, we are happy to be outside at last. Ask any question, and I promise to tell you the truth, para venture the question is within my jurisdiction", Lilly answered genuinely." We learned the borehole in your restaurant was infected with a virus. You and your workers came out negative, but one of your customers died of this same viral infection. How can you explain that?" The presenter asked the logical questi
As they got to the hospital, they saw several cars parked in the parking lot. They were the cars used to convey the infected patient to the hospital. The chief medical officer( CMO) came outside to meet the minister when heard of his arrival." Welcome sir, please follow me, I need to show you something," the CMO said as he led the way. The minister halted him immediately;" Are we not at the risk of being infected if we follow you to the quarantine area? Why can't we just discuss it in the conference room with the other board of directors" the Minister said. " You will all be given protective cover sir. I just wanted to show you the severity of this virus in the past two days. Some of the people infected are dead already, while some are still there waiting for death after twenty-four hours. Once they have been infected, it's like they are given a death sentence already. Two of our nurses and a doctor were unfortunate to fall into this calamity as a result of taking care of their pat
" Good morning Lucas, I've been waiting for you to resume. Come to my office, we need to talk" Bobby told Lucas instantly as he set foot inside the Laboratory. He led the way while Lucas followed suit." Please have your seat. Justin called me about the meeting we held at the general hospital yesterday. Apart from making money off people, we can't fold our arms and keep watching people dying like animals. You are a healer, Lucas, and I know you can put some things in place to reduce the mortality rate of our people." Bobby informed Lucas Lucas exhaled loudly, "What do you want me to do sir?" He put the question directly to his boss, although he knew the solutions already, he would still need Bobby's help for the steps involved.Bobby studied Lucas' calm reactions to the massive death of people, he knew Lucas wasn't heartless and he knew something was fishy." You have been putting some measures in place, don't you? You are just expecting Justin and I to bring up the topic for discuss
When it was almost noon, and Lucas had not come back to his house, Lilly called him back." Hi Lucas, I don't see those that you asked to come and fumigate your house. Moreover, won't you at least come home to freshen up? Where are you exactly?", Lilly asked." Why did you want to know my location? When you are done arranging the food, then leave. Is it a must I come to my house today? I'm an adult, Lilly, and I can stay anywhere I like.", Lucas answered, getting frustrated by her stubbornness.There was total silence from both sides and then Lilly broke the silence." I'm very sorry if I'm getting on your nerves. I know you are a busy man, especially during this disaster period, but I have missed you, Lucas. It's been a long time since I set my eyes on you. I just want to see you physically, that's all"All the frustration Lucas had dissipated from him instantly. His busy schedule had indeed made it difficult for him to see Lilly and he had missed her too. He would have asked her to
The vaccines were ready to be released to the public. It was effective on rats and a small portion of infected patients in the hospital, therefore, it was approved by the Ministry of Health.Dr Charles' joy knew no bounds when he was notified of the new development by Justin, he quickly set up a panel to test its efficacy before buying. The vaccines at the initial stage were only given to patients by the general hospital for free, but when the population of infected patients became high, money was being collected for the injection.The news had circulated that Rowland's pharmaceuticals had been able to produce antidotes for the virus, so the mortality rate had reduced. They made the vaccines readily available in the hospital, so no death from the viral infection was recorded.The president from the neighboring country also requested for the vaccines in bulk quantities, so that they could store them in case of emergency. Rowland's pharmaceuticals were termed ' life savers' within a sh
Early Sunday morning, Alex invited the man planted as a spy in Rowland's pharmaceutical company for an emergency discussion." Arthur, I don't want what we discuss here to leave the four walls of this house. I called you to give you an important task, and I want it to be carried out first thing tomorrow morning." Alex said." What is the urgent task you want to give me sir? I hope it will not sabotage my life. The one your father gave me was just to get information for him, that's why I accepted, hope this one is not risky?" Arthur asked." Are you a weakling? I have not even explained the task to you, you are scared already. How did my father get a weak person to carry out a task for him? Don't worry, it's not risky at all." Alex tried to calm the man" You can say anything you want, but if it involves taking any lives, I'm not interested. Your father was aware of this." Arthur was firm on his decision." I want to give you something that would be placed in the cold boxes in your col
The headlines where Alex was accused with Arthur's video supporting the allegation caught Elena's attention. She shouted her husband's name from the living room." Alex! Alex! Come and see what your life has become. How could you send someone to poison the vaccines that were saving lives?" Elena shouted angrily.Alex rushed down to shut Elena up when he saw what was displayed on the TV screen. His eyes were glued to the TV screen in shock." Have you seen it? Tell me how you will defend yourself with this kind of strong evidence. It's written there that legal action will be taken against you" Elena was still furious, her wicked husband had soiled her name. She won't be able to walk freely in town now.Alex smirked as he watched his wife, " are you angry that the lives of people were put in danger or you are annoyed I sent someone to attack your ex-husband?" He was scared of the Rowlands and his father, but he would not allow that to show on his face, so he attacked his pregnant wife i
