Leon knows that it's probably a bad idea, but he gets into the car and the two men get into the front. Collins is the driver, and he keeps glancing at Leon as they drive out of the hospital.Leon quickly texts one of his colleagues that he is stepping out for a while, so that it won't be odd when they find out that he has just disappeared. “Thank you, Doctor Leon, for coming with us. You had every right not to, but you chose to help our boss.” Collins says. The other man snorts. “Yeah, right, I would have shot him in the nuts if he dared not to get into the car. How dare he disobey the boss like that? I blame the boss for letting him and his friends go that other day. That's why he has grown such wings…” Leon ignores the man and just looks out of the window. He knows the type of person this man is. He is just hungry for a fight. Leon sees Alex's house in the distance, so he adjusts himself in preparation of getting out of the car since they have reached their destination. To his

Alex lets his head fall back against the pillow and he laughs. It's different from the way he normally laughs. This laughter shows defeat. It's finally the end of the road for him, and he can't believe it too. “This is poetic, isn't it? Imagine what my father would think after it gets out there that I died by the hands of the son of someone he thought to be a weakling.” “Come on, Alex, isn't that too much praise you are heaping on me? I won't be the one to kill you, your cancer will.” Alex gently turns his head to the side, his eyes fixated on Leon's face. “You are one of the kindest doctors, but you chose to kill me?” “People like you aren't supposed to be alive. Look at all the harms you have caused the world. It wasn't a mistake that your family line was plagued with cancer in the first place. You were never meant to live for long.” “Look at you,” Alex taunts him. “I'm sure you've made yourself very proud. Imagine how much of a hero you are going to be for this.” Leon cros

Helen is so tired, that all she wants to do is to drive herself home and have a good night's rest. Cameron offered to come and pick her up, but she turned him down. She wanted to concentrate on work, she knows how much he can distract her. She finds herself giggling at just the thought of him. Someone suddenly steps out of the darkness and she shrieks in fright. She thinks that it's just someone who has wandered into the staff parking space. The person steps into the light and she sees that it's Collins, and this doesn't make her feel any better. Collins has been Alex's trusted bodyguard and he has forcefully taken her to Alex many times before. “No!” She holds her bag, as if it's a weapon. “You are not dragging me back to Alex, I am not going! I will fight you if I have to!” But Collins is not his mean self today, in fact his shoulders are hunched down in defeat. “I'm not here to take you to Alex, Helen. In fact, I can't take you back to Alex because…. He is dead.” Helen feel

After Leon has spoken to her and calmed her down, Helen decide to ask one of the servants to step out of the gate to check if Collins is still outside. He is. He has parked his car very close to the gates, and he is sleeping in the driver's seat. She puts on a robe and steps out into the cold, which immediately makes her to shiver. She wonders how he has been able to stay out here so long without freezing. She gently knocks on the glass to wake him up, and he immediately winds down the window. “You came back.” He says, his eyebrows slightly raised with surprise. She sighs. “Do you want to talk?” He nods, unlocking the door of the front, so that she can come in too. He turns on the heat, so that she could feel better. “I'm sorry that Alex died.” she says. “You shouldn't be sorry, you didn't kill him.” Collins says. “I'm still sorry he died, I know that both of you were very close. To be honest with you, I don't know what to do from here. Leaving Alex, I thought I would just

Leon and Mrs Jones are having dinner. A lot has happened, and it's not right to say that they've been given the chance to know each other before. Months ago, Mrs Jones noticed that her daughter was falling for this mysterious Doctor who didn't have much happening for him in his life. Her husband made her understand that they can't allow their daughter to marry someone like him, and she believed, not because she thought that Leon was unfit for their precious daughter, but because she doesn't like to argue with her husband. A lot has changed since then. Mr Jones is dead and has been buried, and she has just found out that the nerd boy unknown to her, became her son-in-law, and also that he is the Shankly only son. Mrs Jones was the one who begged MJ to put this meeting together, because she feels like she has to apologize. Leon clears his throat and digs his right hand into his pocket. “MJ told me that you have finally gone back to work.” Leon kick starts the conversation. “Yes

Mrs Rachel Lockhart almost faints when she hears this mysterious Doctor spread her dirty linens so casually in public. See, six months ago, Mrs Rachel Lockhart, traveled out of the country to get a tummy tuck, but it didn't go as planned. She is left with cuts that refuse to heal, and her husband is torn between finding a respectful doctor to treat her, and also keeping the shameful secret from their friends and acquaintances. It was so bad that Leon didn't want to do it because she looked like she was holding on to life by a thread, but the husband begged him to do his best. For the next three weeks, Leon stitched her up and cleaned her. Mrs Rachel was in so much pain that she couldn't even recognize the face of her doctor. As soon as she was getting better, her husband opted to take her back to the house, since a normal nurse would be able to handle the issue from then on. Her husband kept on speaking and speaking about the young miracle doctor that saved her, but she never m

MJ is very happy to finally get to meet Mrs Beverly, Leon's adopted mother, even though they have paused this for a very long time because they wanted to make sure that they don't put Mrs Beverly in any form of danger. Leon kept his promise to his adopted mother, and that was that he would never abandon her. He got her a good mansion and servants to cater to her. He successfully kept her a secret for those months, and now he is going to introduce her to his love. As they get out of the car, Leon reaches out and holds her hand, but he notices the worried look on her face. “What's the matter, MJ, do you feel sick?” He asks her. “No, I'm just nervous. What if she doesn't like me?” MJ wonders. This makes Leon laugh. “Don't worry, my darling wife, my adoptive mother is one of the sweetest people in the world. I am absolutely positive that she is going to be madly in love with you.” His words give her courage and they go to the door. One of their servants is there to bow to them.

Leon fears that this is a dream because this is going better than he hoped. His mother has left him in the sitting room and has taken MJ to the kitchen. She is making a special soup that is good for pregnant women. She is going to make it in bulk and take it upon herself to send it to MJ every week until she gives birth. “This soup is extra spicy, but it's good for the body of the babies. You are having three? Oh, that's going to be a lot of work!” Mrs Beverly shakes her head. “But don't worry, I am going to help you all the way!” MJ nods as she gently rubs her belly. Beverly is spooning some sliced watermelon into MJ’s mouth. She is very excited for this pregnancy, like MJ is her own daughter. “Give me your feet, let me rub for you. The babies must be putting a lot of pressure on your poor feet.” Beverly says. MJ's face turns red. “Oh, Mrs Beverly, you don't need to do that–” “Mum. Call me mum.” Beverly takes up her leg and gently starts to massage it. She has an eager look

The whole room becomes as quiet as a graveyard. It is not because Leon has decided that he is going to move to Kator and cather to one of the poorest people in the world, but because the place is too poor and dangerous. MJ and Leon are the last born of their respective families, and that means that everyone is super protective of them. How can they be protective when they want to go so far away? “Leon, are you talking about Kator, which is in the north of the country? Or there is another Kator that we are not aware of.” Leon laughs. “You are on the right track, I am talking about Kator, which is in the northern part of the country. We are very excited and I will be going there this weekend to check on a property that we want to build our hospital on.” “It's going to be huge, everyone!” MJ says with the excitement of a child. “Can you imagine the kids growing in the countryside and running around the fields?” “MJ, why do you two have to be the ones to do that? You know that y

None of them expected for Kator to be worse than they thought. As soon as they step out of the plane, even the air is different. Empty, desolate. The workers go around, dragging their feet on the ground and with their backs hunched, as if they are all suffering from the same malady. Two cars have been arranged for them, and the drivers are waiting by them, dressed in suits that have been ironed to a crisp. They bow to them as they step out of the plane, but Cameron can't help but ask. “Are both of you coincidentally sick?” He asks. “Why didn't the company send others and allow you people to rest?” One of the drivers laughs, but even his laughter is weak. “Oh, sir, we actually get that question a lot in Kator. We are not actually sick.” The man explains. “It's just the way the town is. And it has been this way for a very long time.” Since Cameron and the rest are Doctors, they know that there is nothing normal about the way the men look. “Have the department of health looked
