The great Dragon Chapter 139: looking for a way to save Xin
The night was already far gone but Professor Layton and Rose took the risk of meeting with Serpens at the hospital. There wasn't any traffic, making the drive smooth.Professor Layton and Rose entered the hospital ward, the soft beeps of machines and gentle hum of fluorescent lights filling the air. The scent of disinfectant and the faint tang of sickness hung heavy over the rows of beds, each one a testament to the fragility of human life."So where is Serpens?" Professor Layton inquired."Must be in Xin's ward," Rose replied as they proceeded to Xin's ward which was nearly at the extreme end of hall way.They met one of the nurses who confirmed that Serpens was inside and had been there all evening."Thank you," Rose greeted the nurse wearing her ever beautiful smile.Stepping into the ward, their eyes were drawn to Serpens seated beside Xin, who was lying in the bed, surrounded by life-saving equipment, just how Rose had left her before going to confront her father.Serpens' eyes,
The great Dragon Chapter 140: Dark arts of mercury
Serpens and Rose sat in the hospital room, surrounded by the continuous beeping of machines and the soft hum of fluorescent lights, a reminder of the fact that Xin's life was still in danger and that everything was still far from over.The weight of everything that had happened to them hung heavy in the air, a palpable force that seemed to press down on their shoulders. It was like everything that was happening, was happening so fast before Serpens' eyes that he suddenly missed the good old days with just him and sister, Serena living their peaceful and quiet lives.Serpens' eyes were filled with fear, his brow furrowed with worry. "What if she doesn't make it?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "What if we can't save her?"Rose reached out, her hand brushing against his. "Don't say that, Serpens," she said, her voice soft but firm. "We have to be optimistic. We have to believe that everything will be fine."Serpens shook his head, his eyes dropping to the floor. "It's hard
The great Dragon Chapter 141: Winter's threat, Jack's rage
Professor Layton spent the rest of the night thinking of the possibility of actually turning things around if truly they would be able to carry out the blood cleansing and re-transfusion into Xin's system.As the first light of dawn crept into the sky, professor Layton made his way to the hospital, his heart heavy with the weight of what lay ahead. He had called Serpens and Rose and had told them about what he had discovered while searching for the solution to Xin's predicament.*So, you're saying if we're able to remove all of Xin's blood from her system, we'd be able to save her life, after thoroughly screening the blood before transfusing it back into her system?" Serpens' inquired, curiously."That's it Serpens. We just need to let the doctor know and then hope he agrees to carry out the procedure." Professor Layton said."Why not? Allow me to speak with the doctor," Rose volunteered. "If this is our only way of saving Xin, then what are we still waiting for?" Serpens and profes
The great Dragon Chapter 142: Hope in a difficult time
Serpens welcomed the new day bathed in the warm embrace of the morning sun, a sense of purpose mingled with a tinge of yearning in his heart. Rose had taken him to one of Brynner's guest houses where she felt he would be safe. They had both stayed together in each other's arms that night.Though they had not intended to have any form of romantic relationship, the emotional turmoil within them had clouded their sense of reasoning. They had kissed a couple of times, but somehow things didn't escalate between the two of them before they returned to their senses."I'm sorry," Serpens had apologized. "We shouldn't be doing this, not with everything that is happening,""I'm sorry too," Rose sighed. She knew she shouldn't be thinking of making out with Serpens, especially not when they were in the middle of so many crises. But she just couldn't deny the fact that she was missing the presence of a man in her life, and having been Serpens' girlfriend from five years ago, before his sudden disa
The great Dragon Chapter 143: A successful operation
Rose was in her room when Serpens came knocking. After pondering on everything, he had decided to have a word with her."Come in," Rose ushered him in."You're not coming to the hospital?" Serpens asked."I don't know, Serpens." Rose sighed."Is it because of what happened between us last night into this morning?" Serpens pressed further."It's not that, Serpens. It's just that....""Shhhh" Serpens hushed her, placing his finger across her lips."Rose, I just want you to know that once everything is done and we've returned to our timeline, we'll know what really is in store for us." Serpens' spoke softly.Rose remained speechless, staring into his dreamy eyes. She just couldn't help but admire those eyes, making her miss those times when she'd stare into them, having him all to herself.She really wished she could have back those days and not have to compete for Serpens' attention with anyone. But with Xin in the picture, it wasn't looking like a possibility. She knew they all needed
The great Dragon Chapter 144: Xin, find Rose
The news of Xin's successful operation soon spread through the whole of Draketwon like wild fire, much to Serpens' surprise. He wasn't expecting the news to be all over the place, but it appeared the lead doctor was bent on receiving global recognition for being the first person to have carried out such an operation.Every media house, newspaper and television channel carried the news, and Serpens' just couldn't hide his fury and his frustration. He wasted no time to call the doctor and ask him what was really going on."Doctor, what is this I'm hearing? Why did you have to make the procedure a thing of public attention." Serpens' queried."Because I deserve the accolades," the doctor replied, a sense of pride evident in his voice, increasing Serpens' frustration."Accolades?" Serpens brow furrowed. "Do you have the slightest idea of what you've done?"The doctor, was however not moved by Serpens' querry, and just before Serpens' could continue his querry, he dropped the call yo atten
The great Dragon Chapter 145: Romance in the midst of darkness
With the news of Xin's successful operation now all over the place, he just couldn't wait for her to be fully conscious, and then they could finally go back home.The only thought on his mind at that moment was how they could get back to their timeline. As he sat in the silence of his room, he thought of all the people he had lost. He thought of his sister, Serena, and what the chances were to really get things to turn differently.He remembered the promise he had made to his parents, how he was going to be a good big brother to her, protecting her and making sure that no harm comes to her.His thoughts also drifted to Tiara and the sacrifice she had made just to make sure he was able to succeed in his mission. He thought of Rose and the situation that they had now found themselves in, and finally about Xin, whose awakening was all that was left to rewrite the fate of Draketown.The shrill ring of his phone shattered the silence, drawing Serpens' attention away from his troubled thoug
The great Dragon Chapter 146: Offering comfort in the midst of despair
As Serpens approached the hospital, the bright lights of the building brought him back to the reality of the moment. There was a police car which was parked outside, informing Serpens that the police had already been informed, and that was not enough to convince him that the attempt on Xin's life wasn't just a tiny matter.Upon entering, he found one of the nurses and the Professor Layton engaged in a tense discussion about the attempt on Xin's life. Serpens' pulse quickened as he absorbed the gravity of the situation, his concern for Xin's well-being, immediately eclipsing all other thoughts he still had left about Rose and their almost shared romantic episode."What really happened?" He inquired as he approached Professor Layton.He noticed the frightful look on the face of the nurse like she was afraid of something life threatening. He had worn his disguise before leaving the house so that no one would recognise him as Serpens Ryu. He always wore his disguise whenever he left the h
