" Doctor Asher... How is ... " " She's fine now " Immediately after Asher's response to Kieran's question, They all heave a sigh of relief. " But what happened? She is ... She was healthy and full of determination the last day she came here, " It was Mave words and Asher nodded. Gently, he led the way towards the Pet Project lab, but he didn't get inside. He stood at the glass door to stare at the beeping from the monitor beside Julian's head. She has barely survived, and his children have also barely lived. Indigo's legs suddenly gave way when she saw the Defibrillator that was used. Kieran quickly caught her before she fell and gently, he sat her down on the space bench. There, silently, The thought of Julian dying for real crossed Indigo's heart, and she burst into tears. Julian has been her saviour, as well as a mentor. When she was making meagre sales as a waitress, thriving to pay the bills of her mother's unending illness, it was Julian who had come as a rescuer. She
The excruciating pain Julian had felt resulted in nightmares. The sound of the ambulance siren she had heard from her subconscious mind had instilled fear inside of her that when she began to regain consciousness, her heartbeat would begin to drop, allowing the ECG machine that showed her heart rate to begin beeping. Asher had just left the lab to answer the call from his father-in-law while Mini was about to leave the lab when she heard this sudden whimper.Indigo and Hannah quickly get up from the space bench to peer. " What is going on? " Hannah asked Mini who rushed forward to Julian. " Her heartbeat is dropping. Call upon Dr Asher. Now! " Hannah raced as though her life depended on it while Mini waited for Asher's return, but when he wasn't forthcoming, she bit her lower lips and decided to attend to Julian. She swiftly retrieved a syringe from the tray and skillfully inserted the needle into Julian's wrist vein. Next, she temporarily halted the drip therapy, adjusting the f
The interrogation room was a cubit long and tidy one with two guards guarding the place and a secretary doing the paperwork. The research team had arrived except for Asher and Douglas. Mini, Nicodemus and Stuart stood still, awaiting the Boss's arrival. Nico, who had just been returning from a short break, was confused about what was going on, while Stuart only kept a straight face. At last, the door opens, and Asher walks in with Douglas by his side. Mave and Kieran come next, standing aside to watch how the event will unfold. " Sir, you are here " The two security guards quickly stood up to pay their greetings, but Asher wasn't looking at them. His eyes were pinned on Stuart all through. " Uhm... Is it an official case? " One of the guards asked, making the secretary who stood at a corner to pick up the record book, but Asher shook his head in the negative before setting his jaw. " Not yet ", He mutters quietly as he walks ahead to stand before the Research team as their leade
Hattie soon finds herself in a bind. With her heart racing, she took a step back, wondering how to bail herself out of the new loophole she was in. " I ... I ... I didn't do it. Asher listen... I didn't ... " " How do you know it's Tra. IM fluid that nearly kills her? " He asked gently, but everyone knows it's only a matter of time before he flare up, especially now that Physical contact barriers have been broken. " Asher I ... I can tell. Didn't you say she is... Goodness, I am the best surgeon. Of course, I can tell by ... " " I am the best Doctor, the best scientist and the best Researcher. Yet, even after I saw her State, I couldn't tell what exactly was used on her until we made a check-up. And yet, you, a surgeon whose skills I could surpass in a mere day, claim to have an educated guess without even laying eyes on the patient? " Hattie's heart dropped. She realizes there is no way back. At that moment, when she sees the game is up, she sets her jaw and allows her mask to s

You are pregnant " Immediately after this news from the Doctor was heard, Julian, who sat across from the doctor, felt her heart sink. She wonders if she has heard him right. " How ... How do you mean, doctor? I ... I have only come for a check-up on why I have been weak lately " " Exactly ", The doctor responded with
Mrs Atlas, an elderly, beautiful, and vibrant lady, was preparing for the night when the maid, Gracia rushed into the living room; her eyes widened with so much horror. " Ma'am... Jully is outside... Crying " At these words, Salina chuckled. " You must be mistaken. My daughter is obviously with her husband. It's late. Why will she even be here? " Her question didn't last for minutes before the door opened, and Julian walked into the living room with her traveller's and duffel bags as well. She stops at last in the middle of the well-furnished room to stare at her mother. Her eyes teary. Silence fell. Words couldn't be spoken. One can tell from her pale lips and face that she had gone through a lot that night alone. Mrs Atlas was shaken and stunned at her daughter's state. However, she didn't speak or ask questions. Instead, she spread open her arms for her only child to come in. Julian forgot her adulthood at that moment to hug her mother. Tears streaming down her
It has been one of the craziest schedules for Donny Star, and he couldn't be more than happy when he stopped his car before his Villa at one of the Quiet Estate he owned in Brooklyn Heights. Carefully, he alighted and walked right into the building, letting out a sigh when he perceived the scent of home. He pulled off his T-shirt and headed towards the bedroom when, all of a sudden, he stopped. He noticed the difference in the hallway. He remembers he had kept the lights off but now they are on. His eyebrows furrowed in a curious frown as he made his way through carefully toward the living room. In that particular Villa, he has no maids. He has made sure they only come thrice a week to clean up, but they shouldn't overstay. Just like the majority of celebrities, Donny loves his peace and space. He emerges into the living room to freeze. The one who had violated his security and walked into his home unannounced was his childhood friend. Someone he had never expected to show up a
FOUR MONTHS LATER " Uhm... Miss Julian. Here are the results. I uh... I am sorry to say that you are in a very delicate situation. Your baby is growing inside of you abnormally. I will advise you to visit the Ashju Facility in New York. There is a scientist there who specializes in a rare situation like this one. Thank you so much, " The doctor said to the lady before him, expecting an answer, but none came through. Julian didn't speak a word as she rose to her feet and headed out, her palm on her flat belly. The reports have been all the same. No Doctors could pinpoint her illness. They'd only say her baby is growing abnormally and then urge her to visit Ashju Facility, to visit a scientist who is the best in curing the rarest disease. How could they direct me to the very demon who did this to me? How could they? With her lips pale, she left the hospital and walked to the car, which was waiting for her. The journey back home begins, giving her time to reflect on her actions

Julian felt tired after a very long sleep. When she fluttered her eyelids open, it was the dim light from the chandelier she saw. Slowly she turn her head to see Mini on the couch just ahead. The young Researcher was asleep with the Pet Project record note resting on her bosom. A smile curled up at the corner of Julian's lips at this, and she made to get up only to feel the sharp, unforgiving pain in her lower back. What came next was the feeling of discomfort in her tummy, forcing her to give a soft cry. Mini, who was asleep, suddenly flew her eyes open. She sits up and, for a heart-stopping second, stares at Julian in horror. The blood that was already dripping down her thighs made Mini rush out of the hall. " Dr Asher?! Dr Asher!! " Asher Atticus, who had spent the night searching for the cure in his study, heard the urgent call of his name. He quickly stands up to match towards the short hall where the rooms are located. Douglas had already emerged from his room, too, his ha
Asher Atticus has had a long day. Starting from the moment his wife passed out. He leans on the desk in his study to fold his arms on his chest. Mini came for the Pet Project report note but stood still to watch Douglas ask a question. " So now that we know where her illness comes from, Where do you suggest we begin to look for the cure? " Upon hearing this, Mini turns to Asher in surprise. " Dr Asher, you have found the cause? " " Just hours ago. It's a hunch, and I was right, " He replied hesitantly, but Mini didn't notice his disappointment. Instead, she grins happily. " I know it! You are a genius! " She exclaims happily before looking around. " So what is the cure? You taught me finding the cause of a rare disease is the hardest stage. Now that we have passed that, finding the cure to ... " " There is no cure ", Asher mutters, interrupting the lady who stands before him. He looks up to see Mini go pale, surprised written boldly on her face. " It's my genes and I have no cu
" Her heartbeat is stable now. 78 beats per minute. Her swollen feet are still the same, weighing the 25 kg as earlier. Her temperature is normal. In Total, out of 100, she is sixty-nine per cent healthy, " Mini gives the report as she examines Julian's health. She turned gently to Asher, who was, as usual,, keeping note, and he nodded his agreement. " Inform Douglas to bring the syringes so we can renew the IV transfusion " Mini nodded and walked out of the bedroom, leaving the couple on their own. Asher stood still for many seconds after the departure of Mini. The words from his wife an hour ago still resound in his head. He couldn't believe she would say such words. He never knew how unhappy she had been until that very moment when she said she could be passed as the unluckiest lady. " Asher? " Julian suddenly called, her voice pulling the man right back to reality. " Yes? " He responded as he pulled towards her. " You want something? "" Mini " She replied. " Can you please
The soup wasn't spicy enough, but the chicken was exactly how she loved it. Julian clears up her plate in no time and then reaches out for the glass cup of wine, but Asher pulls it away from her reach before pouring her a glass cup of water. Julian pouted but drank anyway. They are all in the dining room, eating their early dinner. Mini felt it was an achievement to eat right at the same table with the triple treat genius and his wife, who is the only daughter of a state senator. " Asher? " Julian called quietly. " Can I get another bowl of soup? " To this question, Asher turned to Mini, who had made the dish. " Are there still leftovers in the pot? "" Yes sir " Asher finally gets up from where he sat. He headed towards the kitchen to refill Julian's bowl, and while he was at it, the young lady made to pour herself a glass of wine, but this time, Douglas stopped her with his announcement. " I am passing the night here " Julian stops midway, surprised when Asher reappears. He
Upon hearing this, Asher stiffens. " You are kidding " " Never will I joke with anything that has to do with your wife or unborn... Children " Asher suddenly takes a step backwards in shock at the last statement of Douglas. " What did you just say? How do you mean, children? " Douglas takes his time. He swallowed hard before extending another report file to Asher. " The world didn't call you Triple Treat genius for no reason, Asher. Congratulations. You just find the reason behind Pet Project illness " Upon hearing this, Asher swallowed hard. He didn't go through the file, for fear that he would confirm something terrifying. " Reason about which illness? The reason why she passed out this morning? " " No. The reason why she passed out this morning was because she took a death pill. It must have been among the ones our researcher diagnosed for her " " No. I diagnosed the pills myself. Stuart was the one who brought them from the pharmacy department " He said thoughtfully. All
