As they were scrubbing out of the theatre Chiara asked the question that was bothering her the most. “Dr Livingston, that method of treatment seemed magical and lifesaving.” Chiara pursed her lips uncomfortably before continuing “Why doesn’t your master want to share this with the world? Why does he want to keep it a secret and monopolize?” “Haaiii….” Neil sighed and shook his head helplessly “Is that how you understood?” “Master’s treatment is much more profound than what it looks on the surface. What you saw is the lifesaving aspect, but in the wrong hands, it can become a devastating disaster, one that even the heavens cannot reverse.” “The world has become much more complicated and sinister; the ancients are best forgotten.” Neil waved his hand regretfully “But master is unwilling. That is why he is still practicing, hoping that someday, the wisdom of the ancients can be used to truly benefit the world but until then he must guard it.” “Modern medicine is freely taught and pra

Night Wing bought the Burkes back to Chris’s private villa outside the main residence and arranged rooms for everyone. He had contacted homebase and given instructions for setting up the villa as soon as he saw the Burkes arriving. He didn’t falter in his duties even though he was in shock; more accurately, distraught state of mind with his boss’s wilfulness. He was definitely worthy of being Chris’s right hand man. He had instructed Night Vigil to get someone to open up and tidy the unused rooms in the west wing and to transfer a few maids to the villa so that there would be no fault in Chris’s care. “Son, what is the status of the kids?” Matthias asked as soon as they reached the villa and settled down. He was holding in till now, waiting for the right moment. Now that it was just his family, he didn’t need to hold back. He knew that Night Wing wasn’t just a shadow guard to Chris and gave him his due with his attitude and treated him as any other junior. “Old master, both of them

Elizabeth watched in horror at the cruelty of the two woman who always had a gentle persona whenever she met them. She didn’t expect it to turn out this way. She didn’t have a high opinion of Emile, nor did she like her but that was only because she was bringing in the bastard from another man into her family, to enjoy the same benefits as her grandsons. But she had never wished for anything of this extent to befall her; she thought that they would just push her down the stairs or something like that...... without thinking how dangerous something even as simple as pushing down the stairs could be for a full-term pregnant woman. “Why is it like this?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but mutter in shock. She turned her head to look at the one person whose opinion mattered the most to her, only to see his face turn ashen with every passing minute. She hastily stood up from her seat and ran to kneel next to him “Hubby…. I….” Adam turned to look at her, his face filled with disappointment and

Larry couldn’t harden his heart no matter how hard he tried. He rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital as soon as the phone was hung up. He could hear the conversation on the other end and knew that he wouldn’t be able to speak to Sheryl anytime soon. Sheryl’s mother was already in emergency unit by the time Larry arrived. He took over from the staff at Care Nursing Home and insisted on paying her for her trouble. It didn’t take long for the procedures to be completed and Sheryl’s mother to be admitted into ICU. Larry paid all the fees and requested services of a carer before leaving the hospital. Although he said he wouldn’t care, he couldn’t leave Sheryl alone. He got in touch with one of his lawyer friends and requested a meeting to discuss the case. They agreed to meet in the evening while the lawyer friend agreed to collect all the details. Larry kept his phone on him as he didn’t want to miss Sheryl's call in the event that she tried to reach him. He half expected her to call half

The next morning, Emile woke up earlier than predicted, only to stare into two pools of deep passion and heart ache. “Good morning, Hubby” Emile smiled blissfully even though her face was still pale. “Good morning, Wife.” Chris leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips before touching his forehead on hers and whispering, “Wife, I am sorry. I didn’t protect you well. I almost lost you. I…..” Emile raised her hand to cover his mouth to stop him from talking. “This has nothing to do with you. You did very well.” Emile smiled as she lifted her hand and hugged him, kissing him gently on the lips, like a dragon fly touching the surface of water “Hubby, thank you for loving me and showing me what love is. Thank you letting me enjoy the joy of being loved.” “No… I should be thanking you.” Chris hugged her close and smiled “You gave an anchor for my restless soul and also gave me two beautiful babies.” “Babies…. Babies….” Emile suddenly remembered the wound Eva inflicted and touched
