Leon is stricken with shock because this woman standing in front of him used to join Mrs Xavier to downgrade him because he was nothing but a poor son-in-law and the caretaker of comatosed Selina Xavier. Now, she gives him the familiar snarl that she has been used to throwing in his face. “Oh, Leon, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but your familiar old shoes confirmed it was really you.” She huffs. Even though she is being very cold to Leon, he won't be giving her the same treatment. “Oh, Zoe! Are you back in the country again? When did you get back? Did you see that Selina is now well?” “Oh, I did, and I am glad that she has this sense to leave you because you have nothing to offer her! Very soon, she will be the happy wife to one of the richest heirs in the city!” she jests at him. “Maybe her rich husband is going to even arrest you for stealing one million dollars from the family accounts!” “One million dollars?!” Leon frowns. “Zoe, I never stole even a cent from the Xav

Seeing that she can go to prison, Zoe immediately falls on her knees and starts to beg. “Please, Doctor Shankly, you can't do this to me!” She cries. “My mother is a sick woman, and I have to work in this country to be able to send her money home! Slap me, hit me, but don't hand me over to be jailed!” Helen bends till she is almost eye level with Zoe. “This is not because you called me a golddigger and a prostitute. This is because of Leon, and everything terrible that you have done to him. For that, I won't forgive you.” Helen turns to the police and hands them her card that holds her information. “I'm Helen Shankly, and this lady here assaulted this gentleman here, both verbally and physically. I was also assaulted by her verbally. My friend is the head of the police, so I will pursue this case and make sure that she gets the maximum punishment for assault.” “Assault?!” Zoe wails. “Leon, please tell her that I barely touched you! I was just joking with him, I am his friend! Leon

Damien suddenly feels as if his legs have turned to cooked spaghetti, and he immediately reaches for the wall to stop himself from falling. Did he hear well? Is this some sort of nightmare? “Leon Shankly?!” He looks from Leon to Helen. Helen sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. “Alright, who is hungry?” “I'm not eating till someone tell me what the fuck is going on!!!” Damien roars. “And we will discuss everything over dinner. Let's all go to the dining room, before the food gets cold.” *****Damien doesn't even touch his food, but Helen and Leon seem to have an excellent appetite. Damien is furious that Leon, a common nonentity, is eating at his table, and his sister is trying to pretend like this is normal or something. The truth is that Helen and Leon have had a long discussion about this, and how they are going to handle it….“Damien, why haven't you touched your food?” Helen asks. “Because this fool is eating at my table.” He murmurs. “And why has he suddenly cha

After the dinner, Damien goes to his room and slams the door shut. To keep trouble at minimum, Helen gives Leon the room at the other side of the house. With this arrangement, Leon and Damien won't be able to see too much of each other. This is also the room that Leon used to stay in before he went missing at the age of one. Helen had made them quickly prepare the room, and now, she opens the door and they both walk into the room. “Woah…” Leon's jaw drops on the ground.The room is magnificent, and the bed is the biggest he has ever had! It's painted in his favorite colour too! He is mesmerized, he doesn't understand how his sister was able to put this together in the shortest time! “This is my room, Helen?” Leon holds his hands over his mouth. “You don't like it? Please tell me what you would like to change.” She asks. “What? Are you kidding me? It's perfect! It's bigger than any room I have ever had in my life! Hell, it's bigger than my mother's old apartment!” He is so hap

Hearing that Leon had the audacity to introduce himself with the Shankly name, Damien curses under his breath. Everyone starts to murmur among themselves. Even Mary Jones, who hardly gives a reaction, raises her head this time around. The quiet class becomes loud, the same question is on the lips of everyone…“Did he just say his last name is Shankly?!” “Is he related to the super family?” “I didn't know there were two brothers!”“There is only one Shankly brother!” Damien blurts in anger. “Mister Damien Shankly, you have something to say?” The lecturer asks, staring directly at Damien. “Yes.” Damien stands up. “I'm not related to that… commoner. Yes, we have the same surname, and that doesn't mean anything! His family is less known than mine, and I won't allow my name to be stained by this commoner! There is only one Doctor Shankly in this class, and that's me!” Mary Jones rolls her eyes at Damien, she is the only one who can snarl in his face. The rest of them, even the lect

Mary Jones’ hands raised to her lips in surprise. Damien throws the tray against Leon's head before walking away in triumph. Mary Jones angrily stands up to go after Damien, but Leon stops her. “Don't bother, I'm fine.” He laughs it off. “I just need a little water to clean this off, then I'm as good as new.” Damien goes into the bathroom and tries to clean up as best as he can, but he keeps signing in frustration. Yesterday, this was one of the gifts that Helen left in his room. According to the note that Helen left in the pocket, the doctor coat belongs to their late father. Leon was very emotional when he wore it this morning, and he planned to keep it forever, but now it has been ruined on the first day. Even though what has happened is not his fault, Leon can't help but blame himself. Helen warned him to avoid Damien, and maybe he hasn't avoided Damien well enough…Since the stain won't go away, Damien accepts defeat and folds up the coat. When he gets back home, he will

Everyone starts to murmur in a loud voice because this is the craziest punishment that any of them has ever received. Damien Shankly has done worse things. One time he tried flirting with his assigned patient, and smashed the windows of the lady's boyfriend's car. He wasn't even warned, the school covered it up, and everyone pretended like they didn't know what happened. Saying that Leon was a fake student here was such a reach, because Mary Jones can see that Leon is very brilliant from the little time she has spent with him. She angrily stands up to her feet, because she won't stand for this injustice. “With due respect, Doctor William, I think you are making a huge mistake! Doctor Leon here is a good addition in your school and you want to kick him out for a silly allegation, then the jokes on you!” “Don't listen to MJ, Doctor William. Leon has lied to her and stolen her sympathy!” Damien yells out. “Shut up, Damien!” She barks at him. “Who gave you the order to speak for m

“No, no, no, this is not possible! For him to be able to perform that technique, he must have studied in a medical school that no longer exists about three hundred years ago!” Now, all of the Doctor students stand up and press themselves against the glass, because they want to have a closer look at the miracle that Leon is performing. Even Mary Jones is flabbergasted. She has heard her brother speak about this technique, but she has never seen anyone perform it before. Leon shuts all the voices out and keeps working, picking up tools, and cleaning up the wounds. It takes five long hours, and not even once did Leon stop to take a break! Everyone is standing so still as they watch him to the very end. Once he is done, Leon looks at the monitor, and the patient is now stabilized! Leon takes off his mask to show that he is sweaty profusely under. He leans against the wall in exhaustion and smiles at the lecturers. “My patient will live! And with the minimum amount of scars to show

Helen Shankly has just left the lab, where she has been locked up for the entire day. As soon as she sits down in her office to rest a bit and get ready to head back home, a knock comes on her door."“Lynn, I told you that I can't attend to anyone today.” She looks up not to find her assistant, but Doctor William, the director of the Falcon medicine school. “William.” Helen stands up with a surprised smile. “Wow, I wasn't expecting to see you.” She walks up to him, and they give each other a small hug. “How is my favorite Doctor doing?” Doctor William smiles. “I'm good. Looks like you have been busy running Falcon hospital and the school too.”“And you, my love, look like you haven't slept in weeks.” He teases her, but it's true. Helen is very beautiful, but she is so exhausted that her makeup is not doing a good job to hide the dark circles under her eyes. She has been working so hard on a secret medicine in her lab….“But, hey, you look beautiful as ever,” William adds. “Th

“Did that fool lock you out of the house?!” Helen demands to know in anger. Leon can see the boiling rage in her, and the last thing he wants is for her to confront Damien. She doesn't even know that Damien almost got him kicked out of school today, and he doesn't intend to tell her, because he doesn't want her to get more worked up over it. He smiles and pretends that all of this is not a big deal. “Come on, Helen. We know that Damien plays too much. Besides, I wanted to have a tour around the house, so it's not a big deal.” Leon throws his bag over his shoulder. “So he locked you out?” Helen's frown deepens. “That's alright. It's about time I give that boy a beating!” She storms into the house and bursts through the doors as she goes around looking for her troublesome adopted brother. “Damien?! Where are you, goddamn it?!” Damien appears from the stairs with a smile on his face. “My dear sister, is that you?” She is about to give him a piece of her mind, but he takes her by
