Her smile was fake and he could tell at just a glance. She was pretending to be strong but deep down, he knew she was broken inside. "I can spare a few minutes," he answered and she pulled out a chair and sat down. "It's about Regina. I want to know the progress of her treatment. Why hasn't she woken up yet?" He let out a deep breath and drew back. "I can't say when she will regain consciousness. That is not within my power. And for the treatment, I haven't found a positive result," he answered and watched her face drop. She looked so tired at that moment. "There should be a way, right?" "There would be, but I am trying to find that way," he answered and drew forward. "Like I said, this is a rare case and the research done on it was dropped. But, I made a promise and I am going to fulfill it," she assured. "I know I am asking too much. Regina is the last pers

She dropped her hand and her smile faded. "Why? I am so irritated now that I can't bring the pain relievers to you?" She questioned and walked in completely. "That's not it," Damien answered and rubbed his neck. He wasn't expecting her to be in his office at that time. "I wasn't expecting you."She nodded and dropped the pain reliever pills on the table. "Anyway, I saw him hurrying to your office and he seemed uneasy. He told me he got a call from home about his grandma and had to rush out, so I volunteered to bring this to you," she explained and tried to look at his computer, but couldn't reach him."Is there a positive response?" She questioned with curiosity lacing her voice.Damien picked up the pain relievers and examined them. He went to take a bottle of water and sat back. "You aren't saying anything," she said, seeing he was planning to ignore her. "This is about my sister and I need to know her progress.""There is no positive response. If there is, I will let you know," h

Damien eyes popped open upon hearing what the man said. He brought the phone to his face to see the number before he took it back to his ear. "Dr Ahmed?" He remembered nothing about sending a message to him. "Yes. I got an email sent from you around 2 am, but I saw the email this morning," he answered, clearing Damien's confusion. "Why don't we meet to talk more about this? I am staying in the countryside. Retired last year and decided to start a new life in Middle-field. You should also consider it. This place is a lot more peaceful and quiet than you can ever imagine," he suggested. "It must be great," Damien answered, keeping his voice calm. "I will meet you in the countryside this evening."The old man agreed and hung up. Immediately he did, Damien looked at Bianca to ask about it but she was asleep. For someone who was claiming to be strong enough to remain awake, she fell asleep faster than he thought. He let out a deep breath and faced his computer. He logged into his emai

Dr Ahmed stared at her for a few minutes before he looked away and cleared his throat. "You never told me you were coming with someone."Damien glanced at Bianca, noticing the frown on her face before he averted his gaze back to him. "She knows the area more than I do. Besides, she is an important person in this," he answered. Dr Ahmed sighed audibly and led the way to the table he had reserved. "This is the best restaurant in this area. You will love the food here and probably fall in love with this place because of it."Damien sat down and Bianca sat beside him, trying to calm herself and be composed. "I moved here last year and so far, there is not a reason to regret being here. The people are nice, the food is good, the view is great and relaxing," he further added which got Damien wondering if he wanted him to retire there by all means. "Well, I can't say much about that yet until I see it. From the report I got as a kid, Middle-field was a dangerous place," Damien answered a

Ahmed nodded and sat back. "It's easy to figure it out. Bianca never cared about anyone except herself and her family. For her to be here and eager to hear me, a family member caught the flu," he answered. "But why did you think it's Regina?" Damien questioned, curious to know how he easily figured it out."She looks worried. Regina is the most cared-for family. She would have lost her patient and left if it were her parents." He answered and looked at her. "I know her so well."Bianca pursed her lips, in surprise that he figured it out easily. Ahmed went on, "I will write down the medications for it which needs to be followed precisely. A day should never be missed. She will get better as long as it hasn't gotten to the fourth stage.""She is at the third stage," Damien answered, to which Ahmed nodded. "Then she needs to get treated before it's too late. This stage is treatable with surgery and treatments."Damien drew his brows and when he thought of something, he snapped his fing
