"Are you okay?"Adir ask noticing the change in her demeanor "Is everything alright?" Karen nod and mutter leave,ready to leave already remembering how bad his friend health is ran out.

The people gathered around the dinning table all stop eating when Adir walks in,they didn't expect to see his face not after him shutting himself in for two weeks,his brothers and sisters lower their gaze to their food.

"Adir I know we are all..." "Can I eat In peace,king Decian?"Adir snicker "I didn't come here for your niceness or whatever emotion you seem to acquire"The whole room quiet down to the last degree.

"Will you keep standing there or come in?" Castus fold his arms " Aunt,come in" "Where's he?" Ruby Lau ask suddenly alarmed, she was foolish to get lost in her misery and forgot the reason why castus must be home, why he's in the coven unannounced when they usually force him to visit.

"He dismissed me,said he never want to see my face again"ruby Lau brow knitted " We'd a small argument" "About what?you know you're not allowed to leave Prince Adir, he's going to run off the minute you shut yourself out,

"Yes I can,She's my niece,and a beauty you see,come inside dear"Susan amble to the kitchen. "Well well,I guess my food drove you away"Karen stop by the door of the kitchen,forcing a smile and the latter scoff. "I hope her food doesn't drive me out"Adir sit on the floor taking a once over look at the bread she made "It's black and slimy" "Can you make anything?" Karen drag the tray of food back to her side and continue munching on the crispy bread.

She intertwined her hand with his "She is just here to torture me again" "I'm here with you baby,yeah you're right,she doesn't have the right to barge in here" "Really?" He pull her close pecking her cheeks. "Tell me baby" "I mean it and we're both going to fight her" Ned bit his lips and tug it with a cheeky smile. "Hey I'm not here for that" He tickle her and laughter filled the air releasing the tension in the once broody room, Ned carried her over his shoulder and ignore her struggling,he kick the door of his large room and drop her on the bed.

"No"Si yang look at Hope noticing she isn't talking instead her eyes on the gate. "Hope" still her eyes were fixed in that position. "She's wondering how you came in without your car or the guards also noticed that" Si yang smile nervously praying Hope interfered but the girl eyes was still glued on the entrance. "I...I shu hui drove the car out...um back to the clinic to...to pick up one of my important patients" "You're stuttering" Si Jie roll her eyes. "We both were in the pool before you came,change into your bikini and join us" Happy her sister dropped the interrogation,she tug Hope arm. "Are you okay?" "Yes...oh,I was...Is that your man?"

"Hey Si yang" "Hi Stuart,acting like you don't know me?" Si yang smile as Ned drove off and fix her gaze on Stuart.

Ned scoff at his brother stupidity"When I was your age I already knew what I want to be" "Duh,I forgot"Stuart said sarcastically,Si yang shake her head. "How about Yang?" He reach for the jam. "You know there are many ways people find themselves,being a doctor wasn't my dream,I wanted to be a writer,I'd write short stories and show them to my dad for more praises,I was happy showing off my skills but there is something that some people say that isn't really TRUE" "What?" Stuart sit up. "When a mother dies your dreams are shattered but mine was when dad died" Si yang smile brightly recalling when her dad called her his pride,she in her purple gown,him in his truck uniform,both dancing and singing,him reading her stories line to line,words to words not missing a bit,taking it like his lifetime job. Kissing her forehead,laughs filling the whole house,happiness brimming all around them. "I'm a doctor because of someone,I'm living someone else

"I can't and...I can't leave my job yang" He turn and wipe her tears,Si yang felt his words squeeze her throat. "I can do everything you want,I will but not this,I understand how you feel but I can't consider it,that job is my responsibility,why do you think I left my own country to be here?..." "I wanted to be able to live my dream,nothing ma

"Hey dad calm down,the doctor is with him as we speak,I just wanted to inform you,don't let mom get a whiff of this" "What happened? Ned this is the reason why I told you not to take Stuart" "He's Okay" "I'm not going to assure you of anything,I don't think I can keep this from your mom" "Please dad,It was a mistake,I failed to protect him and I'm sorry" "Get Stuart to video call me once he's awake,I need to know if he's
"Ned, I'm a doctor" "I'm your boyfriend,I've responsibilities too" Ned curse lowly and kept staring at her phone. "So I don't?"Si yang glare at him,hating when he's being stubborn,she pick her phone,checked the caller I.d and sigh before switching it off "It's Hope video calling,you're childish" She glare at him when his lips curved. "But you love me for that" "No,let's switch off the light" "Yang"He exhale when she stood up,she glance at him for minute before opening her mouth to talk. "I'll go with you to California" He raise his head up and cock it to the side. "What now?I agreed" Si yang smile and took a key from the table. "You've an extra room" Ned said his eyes fixed on the keys,she nodded and turn the door knob. "You never told me"She switched off the lights and open the room.

In that instance the blue stone and dagger in Hope eyes became visible big,and rolling, Hope stare straight at him,chanting something under her breath,she made the student in the hall freeze wiping out the 5minutes incident memories. It's exhausted her but she did and after that she focus back on the frozed Stuart then wipe out is last ten minutes memory,she close her eyes,fighting the energy Stuart is trying to get from her to fight the power in him. She remember not to use her powers and nodded happily to herself before dashing out of the hall,the minutes she lef
