" Why is she here? Asher, why is your mistress in this facility? " Asher and his wife busted into his tidy, spacious office, and he walked towards the stand where his lab coat was hung. " Asher I asked you a question. Why is ... " " She is here to work, Ju ", He cut in tiredly as he looked at her to see her already sweating. " Will you calm down? " " Do not tell me to calm down. I am never going to be in the same building as that woman. One of us will have to leave " " Julian ... " " I'm leaving ", She abruptly said and headed towards the exit, only for her wrist to be taken by her husband. Julian, however, shoved him off fiercely and then punched him in the chest. " Let me go, Asher. I am leaving this facility right now " Another fight ensues between them. Julian tried to resist but Asher's grip was too powerful and tensed at the same time. " Julian, calm Down, please. You are pregnant, " She heard her husband whisper softly to her, as he wrapped his hands around her waist
In the career of Asher Atticus, it is widely known he never physically laid hands on any patients or projects. He'd rather have his personal assistant do the task while he supervised or take it up by himself when he has no choice at all. But that particular day, on the new patient ' Pet project ' he has, he takes the job more seriously than ever. Asher drew the blood from his wife's vein and extended it to Mini, who inserted them in a tube. He is caring as well. When Julian gives a low wince, Asher quickly gives her hand a squeeze. " Are you okay? Bear with me a little, " He pleaded softly, and Julian nodded. She couldn't help it. His soft attitude makes her feel reassured. At that moment, Julian was helped to sit up. The researchers prepared to collect a saliva sample but stepped aside as Asher handed her the pills. Knowing her deep-seated fear of medical pills, Asher sat down beside her on the bed, offering a reassuring presence." Why are the pills so much, Asher? " The panic q
Waiting for the results of all tests to come out seems to be the hardest task for both Asher and Julian. The beautiful wife of Asher Atticus sat quietly on the couch in her husband's grand office while The CEO of the Ashju facility was seated behind his desk, busy with his computer. Julian glances at him once and wonders what he has been doing so diligently. At last, when she couldn't endure the wait and loneliness, she got up from the couch she sat on and headed towards the exit. " Where are you off to? " The question came from Asher, who was seated ahead, and Julian stopped to mutter without looking at him. " I am going to the health Consultant Department " " No. You stay here " " Sorry, but I disagree to be confined in a place like this while my husband pretends I am not here ", She replied, her voice a bit raised. She is mad at him. She is so furious that he had treated her like another staff of his immediately after they left Project B Block. She felt since he had gotten al
The sight of Hattie at the entrance of Asher's door makes Julian suddenly freeze. Slowly, she turns to stare at Asher as though accusing him of infidelity and the man who knows his wife so well quickly steps forward. " Why are you here, Hattie? " He asked her, making it known to Julian he knew nothing about her visit. " Dr Asher, I am here to make a report Concerning the Surgical team to you " Hattie's candid face seemed to mock Julian, but she did keep her cool. Quietly, she looks over at her husband again and then walks out, bypassing Hattie. As she headed towards the Department of Health Consultant, the thought of what Hattie and Asher would be doing in his office clouded her thoughts. Dark imagination began to surface, making me set her jaw absentmindedly. When she takes a turn towards The Health Consultant department, the whimper of surprise drags her back to reality and she looks up to see her team. Each department has five members in total. Julian, being the leader, pause
Asher was on his computer while this was going on. He is unaware, until all of a sudden, Douglas opens his door, panting. " Asher! You need to come out " Asher raised an eyebrow, surprised Douglas refer him as ' Asher ' at work. " What's ... " He wanted to ask but then he overheard the loud yell. At once, he quickly left his task to approach the balcony. To his awe, he saw the surgical team and health consultant team fighting. What came to him as a shock was his wife also in between, leading the brawl. " What ... Julian! " This sudden loud yell from her husband was unexpected. Julian heard Asher's voice and then stopped abruptly while the other workers, upon hearing their CEO's voice, stopped as well, panting. Asher was too stunned as he stared down at them all from the balcony. Slowly, he goes to descend the stairs, surprise written all over his face as he matches off to his wife, whose hair has gone ruffled." What the ... God! Did you just... " He turn to Hattie as well, sur
Asher saw the change in his wife's posture, and he decided to step in. " I have already mentioned it in the past. My wife's team will be paid the same. Amount monthly, " He said as he leaned back in his chair. " So what should we do about their department lagging behind? They barely have clients, " Mr Floyd tackled, and Keiran replied this time as the second in command for the health consultant department. " After Dr Julian left for her holiday, the clients stopped coming but still we are meeting the threshold of the facility " " By attending to just five hundred patients? This is Ashju Facility. One of the best in the United States. Your health consultant alone should do more than that. The surgical team has one thousand and five hundred patients and you boasted of Five hundred? Still late to meet the threshold? What is this? A joke? " Mr Floyd had finally hit the nail on its head and even Asher couldn't defend his wife's team anymore. The health consultants are always lagging b
Julian followed Asher out of the health consultant's office, and she allowed him to hold her hand as he led her towards the stairs. " Can you walk? " He asked her softly. " Yeah. I have already gathered too much attention today. Another one will be unnecessary " She replied while leaning on her husband, obviously tired from all the ruckus she had made.As they got to the lower floor, Mini and Douglas were waiting. " Dr Asher, we got some new projects coming up ", Douglas quickly says as he goes to meet him, extending to him a file report. " Go for it " Asher replied absentmindedly. " I'm only focusing on Pet Project this time " " But it's urgent and very critical. The patient only wants you " This time, it was Mini who replied, compelling Asher to take the file report. " Sudden blindness? Are you sure the report is real? " " Yes, Sir " Asher let out a soft sigh before rereading the report. Then he debated on whether to take the task or not. Just as he was about to make a decis
" I would take the other room, Asher ", Julian mutters when he is about to lead her towards their matrimonial bedroom. Asher stopped on his way, surprised and confused at her words. He looks her over as he says. " Ju, come on. Don't be like this " He knows well enough what is wrong with her. He knows what is bothering her. He only wishes he could strangle Hattie for ruining the evening. Carefully, he walked up to her when she wouldn't move an inch. " Ju, come on in. It's been a long day " " I will take the other room, Asher " She quickly says as she takes a step back away from him. " Please, do not talk me out of it " Her resistance makes him swallow hard. At last, he nodded his agreement and then headed towards the bedroom she had chosen. " I tidied it up last week, so there shouldn't be any dust ", He explained. " I will make your bathtub so you can ... " " I will do that myself. Thank you, " She cut in, compelling him to pause. " You are in no position to bend around to d
One year later" My God!, you are here today? Today of all day, Mrs Asher Atticus? " " Please. I need that Chi cakes before going to give my speech " Julian chuckled as she made her way to sit while wheeling her children in. Douglas had came earlier to take Asher Jr. With him and they have agreed to meet up at the award show event. Julian find herself way to lowered herself on the same seat she has occupied on the day Asher had brought her. When the memories flows, she smiled brightly. It was as though she could almost see him right there, staring at her while she wat her cake. After some minutes, she exchanged pleasantries with the Chi Cakes owner who had served her and then made her way into her car. " We will be there soon, Babies. Be a good girls and do not cry " She said to her baby girls with a smile as she drives away. A year had passed after The world lost it's best and most competent doctor. They mourn the good hearted man for a long time. The whole country shook at hi

The Ambulance skidded to a stop before Ashju Facility and a stretcher was brought out immediately. In no time, Julian was wheeled in, her husband followed at once as he headed towards the labor room with her. " Douglas, Call upon my mother in law. Fast " Asher instructed his best friend who had received his sudden call. " Alright " The staff in Ashju facility that night were beside themselves with awe when Julian was wheeled into the labor room.

No one has ever recovered and no one will. Julian has cried but no one has cried harder or mourn the death of her father like Asher had done.

That late evening, As Julian made his way into her husband's study, to tell him about the dinner she had made, her heart race in anticipation. She wonder what she'd meet him doing.

" When are we going for a new ultrasound scan that will tell us the gender of our babies? I mean, I am all healed now. All cured. Both from the TS syndrome and grief " It is a nice morning in the house of Julian Atticus. One that was filled with laughter. The couple sat in their dinning room, discussing, and taking their breakfast. They are also dressed for work. The previous day has been one to write home about. There has been no call from either of their parents but they had been understanding and much love between them. " We can make the Ultrasound scan today if you want. Your husband own the facility " He replied with a smile, making Julian to blush for a moment there.

Asher stare into the eyes of Julian, His wife. He could tell she is clearly shaken by the truth, the one she had always wanted to hear. He watch her gulped down the pill without any hesitation and then she look up at him again, this time in deep silence. Slowly, he saw her moving far away from him as though to prevent him from being affected to the TS syndrome, the parasite inside of her but he caught her wrist at that moment and slowly pulled her in for a kiss. Julian was momentarily stunned at first. She do not wish to implicate her husband. She wriggled free from his tender grip and quickly get up on her feet but she didn't last long before she felt dizzy and fell into the hands of Asher. " Shock? " He asked her quietly and got a moment there she couldn't speak. At last she nodded and he carried her up as though she weigh nothing less than zero pounds. He headed into the bathroom where he laid her down inside of her bathtub and then fill the tub with water. Julian laid back n
It was a deafening silence that spread through the entire bedroom. Julian who have been listening to the bitter story, who has been weeping quietly suddenly felt her heart skyrocketed at the twist in his words. Slowly, she looks down at her hands and back to his face as though to confirm if she have heard right. " TS syndrome? " She asked, with her heart racing and Asher nodded. " Yes. You are the host. Anyone who comes near you, a few feet is doom. They lost their youth. Your genes, your blood is dangerous to the humans. But to yourself it's not harmful " " I thought... I thought it was you who is harmful to humans " " Well, I am. I won't deny that i have committed murders as I grows up to understand some people are better left silence forever " " How come...

The rain had already started falling and Julian was seated before her husband the bed. He have her rested her back on the bedstead, as he let out a long sigh before he began at last. " There are times I have decided to tell you all about this and I am glad today is the day. A day that I found the cure at last. " I was six, At that time when my parents noticed I am different. My genes... I got more than two genes. One that grant me intense knowledge and the other that makes me immune to all diseases. " My mere presence heals cuts and all.
