Leon immediately feels his hand grabbing the phone a little tighter. What did he just hear from his sister's mouth? “Helen, you want me to give my ex wife a wedding present?” He laughs a little. “I mean, if you are going to be saving her life, she should know!” Leon palms his face with an exhale. “The truth is that I think that will make her hate me even more. You were the brain behind this, and you put so much money and dedication into it. I think you should have the honour, Helen. You have worked very hard for it.” Leon shuts his eyes and lets out a suppressed exhale. The truth is that he wasn't even planning to attend the wedding. Him? Attend the wedding of two people that have cost him so much pain? He would rather go by the hospital and ask doctor William if he could help with some of the patients for free. “Leon, are you still there?” Helen asks, a slight hint of impatience in her tone. Yes, Helen.” “Come by my office right now. We need to practice your speech, and al

There is a secret that Leon and Helen did not know. Damien has always known that Leon worked with Helen for the cure, and he didn't mind. He knew that at the end of the day, Selina would worship him because the cure was his idea in the first place, but all that changed when he found out that Helen wanted Leon to say he made it himself. This made Damien very displeased. He would rather eat sand than to allow Selina to think that Leon saved her life. Yet again. That's why he has stood up right now, and told everyone at the party, a blatant lie. Selina gasps, holding her hand over her mouth. “You did it for me?!” “Well, of course!” Damien boasts. “I spent so many sleepless nights in the laboratory, and I insisted on my sister using the best products for you! Now you will never have to suffer again!” Selina jumps up and hugs Damien very happily. She will never have to fall into another coma again. Almost everyone else thinks that this is the most romantic thing ever, and they are

Damien feels his blood go cold as soon as Selina brings forth her bizarre suggestion. “Selina, are you serious? You want me to kill my sister?” “Adopted sister.” She corrects him, crossing her legs. “Need I remind you that you have slaved for this family for twenty years and now they want to cheat you out of your rights.” “And you think killing Helen Shankly, the miracle doctor of the city, is a good idea?” He huffs. Selina shrugs, she obviously doesn't care. Damien had previously thought that Selina liked his sisters, but the truth is that she didn't. To them, she was not a smart female doctor, like MJ, who they would have preferred for their brother, so they despised her. She only pretended to like them because she was just a mere fiancee, but now she is an official Shankly, and she can rub shoulders with them. “Listen to me, Damien. I have a friend that has a cousin that went to prison and also worked for the Mafia.” She says. “It will be a quick and clean job. You take Hel

“Selina, I don't think I owe you or anyone any explanation on why I changed my surname. We stopped owing each other things as soon as you divorced me.” He reminds her. “Of course, you are still bitter about the divorce.” She scoffs. “But don't forget that I am the reason why you even met the Shankly family. You would have still been the poor son of nobody if Damien didn't beat you up that day.” Leon's lips compressed with rage, but he didn't give her the reaction she expected. It's true that Damien and Selina are the worst people in his life, but she is not lying. He would have never met his sisters if not for Damien and Selina. It's impractical, but he does owe them gratitude. “You are right, thank you.” He says flatly. “My life has indeed changed, and I'm sure you are happy that you finally got married into the Shankly family.” Selina looks at him from his head to his toes. “Also, don't get it twisted. I know that you were the one who made the drug that has now permanently cur

Leon feels a sense of fulfillment that he hasn't gotten before. Not even when he graduated from medicine school. He has been initiated into a society that his parents were members of, and it has got to be the greatest feat in his life. His sister, his ever supportive Helen, she looks as proud as ever…He is sitting next to her at the table, staring at the mostly-blurred-by-shadows faces of his fellow sages. “We are here to talk about the drug that the Shankly empire has just produced. It's the most impressive medicine of the century, and it's going to change medicine the way we know it.” Senex says. He is talking about the gold serum, that's the name of the miracle liquid that is injected into a comatosed patient, and they would recover in the next forty eight hours. There was a less successful version of the drug, and although it successfully woke the comatosed patient up, it must be taken daily so as to be effective. The gold serum is different because it needs to be taken onl
