Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 60 - THE CHURCH
Blair doesn’t know where to go. She doesn’t have a relative other than her uncle Simeon. A memory popped into her mind while riding her bike.***“If you feel that you’re alone and no one will be there to comfort you or listen to your problems, just talk to God.” Her dad said while caressing her hair.“Why do I need to talk to Him? We can’t see or hear him, dad.”“But you can feel that He is beside you and with you. In other words, His presence is there if you let Him enter your heart and soul.”“Okay.”***She went to the church and parked her bike near the front door. When she enters the quiet church with yellowish surroundings, she finds peace. There are some people silently praying.She knelt at the seventh row and closed her eyes.‘Lord, I have a problem. I’m sorry if I’m a sinner who just talks to you if I have trouble in life. I don’t know what to do Lord, please... Please help and guide me. I don’t know what’s going on with my life.’ She talked to God in her mind. ‘Am I really
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 61 - THE ENCOUNTER
Ferran was tailing Mr. Wang who was heading to San Mateo. He needs to capture that b*stard before it’s too late. He has a strong feeling that Mr. Wang knows something about the organization. He is a person of interest in many cases which involve drugs, sadly, authorities lack evidence to make a warrant of arrest.“He’s about to enter a hotel nearby like in our plan.” He heard Sanchez on his earpiece. He turned to the supermarket of San Mateo which is in front of the hotel Sanchez was telling.He parked there and waited for the right timing. Ferran was wearing a black face mask and a black cap. He looked at the side mirror of the car he borrowed from a friend, and saw Mr. Wang went out of the car with his, as he calculated, more than five bodyguards.When they entered the hotel, Ferran got out of his car and proceeded to the hotel’s kitchen where he would disguise as a bellboy. He wore the prosthetics they prepared to completely disguise himself.He’ll deliver the food to Mr. Wang’s re
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 62 - THE TALK
***"Alfarez!"He opened his eyes and woke up in the dark place, and he heard a very familiar voice."Alfarez!""Ferran? You, there? Where are you?""Are you really going to kill me!?" He was so angry."W-What?""You always put my life on the brink of death!" His baritone voice echoed everywhere. “If you wanna die, die alone! Don’t involve me in your stupidity!”"Die? That’s the last thing I would wish, *sshole! And,” He clenched his fist. “For your information, I am the one who feels the pain, not you!""F*ck you!""F*ck you too.""I will beat you! You moron!" Alfarez did not respond to it and just asked a question. "Why don't you use your body?""Because I can't! And that's bullsh*t!" The real Simeon Ferran was really furious."Will you stop cursing for a while? I need to ask if you know anything about this." Alfarez asked.“Talk to yourself.”“I’m serious.”"I don't have any idea, okay? I just... I just saw you after I opened my eyes a while ago.""But I can't see you. Where are
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 63 - THE CHRISTMAS EVE
Christmas day is approaching. Every family is busy preparing their delicious food for that special day while waiting for a few hours until midnight comes.Every home is full of joy. Christmas carols can be heard everywhere. There are lots of attractive designs outside their houses and the flickering of colorful Christmas lights is entertaining."Hey, where are you going? Would you please help me design this Christmas tree?" Ferran asked Blair who was about to go outside the house. He could no longer know what he was doing to the Christmas tree."I'll be right back. I'll just... I will take care of... Uhm... Something important." She said, trying to avoid her uncle’s gaze."Hey, Blair! It's eight o'clock in the evening! It will be dangerous for you to---""Promise, I’ll come back immediately!" She said while running towards the garage to take her new bike."That brat." Ferran shook his head and sighed. He looked at the garlands in his hands, and threw it because he didn't know what he
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 64 - THE GIFT
At exactly twelve midnight, they ate their Noche Buena. Even though Simeon, Rouvie, and Blair were just celebrating just the three of them, they are still happy to celebrate Christmas. On the other hand, in the Alfarez house, they celebrate Christmas with Julsen and Granny.Four o'clock in the morning when the church bell rang. Many people attended the church service that morning. Gladly greeting each other a Merry Christmas while waiting for the speaker to start the service. Blair looked around, as if she was looking and waiting for someone."Are you searching for someone? You've been looking around for a while. You may have neck pain." His uncle Simeon asked who was beside her."It's nothing, uncle." She sat properly and stopped what she was doing."I told you. Maybe Blair has a boyfriend already." Said Sanchez who was sitting beside Ferran. Blair glared at him but he just laughed a little because of her expression."Tss. Nonsense." Ferran said and they just kept quiet after that
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 65 - THE BLAME
"Holysh*t." He cursed.Blair turned to Trestan and plunged into his chest. She's used to seeing dead bodies but on Christmas day? Really? Trestan looked around and saw a lady, in her mid-twenties, he guessed. She was sitting in the corner and silently crying while a gun was in front of her."I d-don't know what h-happened... It's n-not my fault. I d-didn't kill them. I s-swear!" She cried.There are five dead bodies found at that crime scene and the smell of the blood stinks. The victims received bullet wounds in their heads and the others were at the chest near their hearts."Get outside and call the police immediately," Trestan commanded Blair who just nodded at him and picked up her bag before leaving the yacht.She called the San Lorenzo police station while Trestan checked on some things inside the crime scene. "What happened here?""W-We have a p-party then... Then I fell a-asleep after d-drinking two to three shots of l-liquor." She explained while wiping her tears. "When I w
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 66 - THE WOUNDED MAN
Crying. Wailing. Sobbing. It really hurts to lose a loved one but we can do nothing but accept the fact that they will die and say goodbye.["SL News... this afternoon the remains of well-known artists were buried, and their relatives could not contain the regret and sadness because of their deceased loved ones. The court sentenced Jennifer Robles to life imprisonment for allegedly killing her colleagues. The suspect in the murder is believed to be mentally ill---"]Ferran turned off the television because he didn't want to hear the news anymore. His blood really boils every time he hears the name of the person who almost killed Blair."I want to watch the whole story uncle," Blair said while eating an apple on her hospital bed. It's been four days and she's still recovering."You should rest." He said and sat on the sofa inside that private room."Fine. Uhm..." She wanted to ask about something but she was hesitant. Since she woke up after forty-eight hours, she has not seen Trestan
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 67 - THE DISTANCE
After New Year, Trestan contacted doctor De Vega and he found the doctor in the secret laboratory, the day their classes resumed. He decided to go there to tell him something his father did not believe. That night, what he saw was really something, and bothersome."He was about to say the name of the doctor but it’s too late. He stopped breathing." Trestan said while sitting on the swivel chair and facing the whiteboard where doctor De Vega wrote and solved formulas and equations."Did he give you a hint?""Yes, he said: Dr. Ma… then he died." Trestan hit the armrests with his hands, frustrated to know about this case. Usually, he doesn’t care about his surroundings, however, due to his interest in this particular subject, he wants to learn more about the virus."Maybe, he is referring to Dr. Maria Garcia. Tsk. That doctor. She's too much." Dr. De Vega shook his head while he was writing something on a piece of paper. "Can you describe what you saw in his body? It may help us determin

Hope of the Dying World EPILOGUE
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passed…“Where are you going, dad?”“I’ll just visit someone… it’s been a while.” He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. “Good morning, officer! You’re at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.”A white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.“Again?” He parked his car at the side of the road.“You f*cking j*rk! You’re the one who bumped into my car! Look!”“What? I’m just passing by and you’re—”“Excuse me? What is this all about?” Timotheus asked while checking the damages.“Who are you?” One of them
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 110 - THE HOPE
“...Kuya.” Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.“J-Julsen… Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!”The night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the ground… lifeless.Timotheus carefully let him go and looked at the blood in his hand. She clenched his fist and rushed to Danryll to give him a hard blow. Danryll didn’t bother to dodge his attack and just let him.“How could you?!”“Sir, stop it!” Xol went in between to stop Timotheus while Ferran, on the other hand, just watched them because the unusual feeling of pain was forming inside him again.“I will never regret it!”“How will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You don’t have—”“Of course… I have.” Danryll threw him his phone that was immediately caught by Timotheus. He watched the entire video and Julsen really killed Dr. De Vega inside the laboratory. He unconsciously dropped the phone astounded.“Y-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 109 - THE HALF-BROTHER
The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. “What the hell is happening?!” His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. “You son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!” The real Boss held the collar of Chief’s clothes and tightened his grip. “Everything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.” Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. “You killed Maria! And my granddaughter… my precious granddaughter!” He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. “I thought Cally’s your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cure—” He was cut off when he felt the need for air. “You thought… Hah! I don’t care about that damn goal! As long as my family’s not involved, you’re free to do anything but
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 108 - THE CODE
“As I’ve thought… Got it.”Czaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letter’s too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.“R-O-M-12:12—12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10—31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16—17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5… That’s all.” Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but it’s too long for a passcode. “Fourteen characters… We only need fourteen characters.” Czaquira uttered.“No… it’s nineteen, I guess?” Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutes… an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.“Aquiro,” Timotheus said, hoping for good news. “Really? Oh God… thank goodness.”“How’s the search, sir?” Xol asked, hoping for good news.“They found him and…” He looked at Blair who was about to cry. “He’s alive.”Blair’s kn
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 107 - THE PENDANT
“Trestan… He’s alive!” Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestan’s bed.“It’s a miracle that he’s still alive after that fall.” The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.“You’re the one who helped him?” Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.“He needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.”“May I know your name, mister?” Aquiro stopped him for a moment.“No need.” He tapped his shoulder before leaving.“Sh*t… so it’s true. He’s alive. Thank goodness.” Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.“Damn you, cous’. You scared us. We thought…”“Stop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.” Beor teased him.“F*ck you.”They just laughed at Aquiro’s hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.“Cally…” He mumbled. “Hey, Trestan! Do you hear me? Trestan.” Aquiro slightly shook him. “Cally… Cally!” He suddenly woke up from that deep sleep. He groaned when he felt pain all over his
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 106 - THE BODY SUIT
Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldn’t clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.“Ugh!” He almost got into an accident if he hadn’t stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. ‘Alfarez! Alfarez!’ Real Ferran’s voice echoed inside his head.His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck. “H-Hah… Hah…” Ferran’s head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***“It’s been a while… Timotheus Alfarez.” The voice echoed everywhere.‘That voice… That voice!’ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. ‘I’m here again… Does it mean…’ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 105 - THE SEARCH
“Danryll! We need to go. Something’s going on with the kids.” Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. “Danryll!”“What?” Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.“The kids… we need to go to them.”“Why?” He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vega’s body in a safe space. Even if they wanted to, it is not the right time to mourn. There is a special mission they needed to accomplish.“Dylan called and… and he was crying. I don’t really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.”“I thought they were safe where they were.”“I thought so too but it is not the case now.” Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. “We need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.”Danryll sighed heavily before starting the engine. The place is not that far from Mrs. Santos’ house and the travel was quick because it’s night time and there i
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 104 - THE CAR CRASH
“Trestan!”The sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestan’s whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and it’s bleeding too much.“Trestan…” Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.“Shh… Don’t cry. It’s… nothing.” He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldn’t. The wound was too painful to bear.“Give me that young man!” The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.“No!” Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chief’s ass and gave him punches but still, it’s not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.“A-Ah!” Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.“T-Trestan…” Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldn’t do anything but to watch him suffer. She can’t move an inch.The Chief pushed him
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 103 - THE SORROW
“Oh my gosh!!” Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. “Dr. De Vega!”Trestan put his hand on her mouth and strongly shook his head to stop her from running back to the laboratory. He then pulled her again because at any time, the enemies might track them as soon as they learned about the tunnel underneath.Rain was heavily pouring when they reached the exit. They unhesitatingly entered the dark and vast forest even though they already knew what danger was waiting for them.The ground became muddy and slippery that made it difficult for them to run faster. Trestan tightly held Blair’s hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blair’s feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.“Blair! Sh*t… Careful! Let’s go.” Trestan was tired but he just
