Sisters Tension
Later that night, Lillian stood near a corner with a tablet raised in front of her face. The screen was dim, and she kept on scrolling through it. But in reality, she wasn't even reading a single word.Instead, her eyes were stuck on a single figure walking down the hall. That figure was none other than LilyHer younger sister walked slowly, and as usual, security walked behind her like shadows. Lily didn't speak to them. She didn't even turn to look at them.Her shoulders looked rigid and her breathing was shallow. The last time she remembered seeing Lily like this was when they were teenagers. And that time, it was only because she was under pressure.Lillian's brows furrowed slightly. "Why is Lily so anxious today." She whispered to herself. "Did something happen?"She knew that if William noticed that Lily was slowly becoming anxious, he would eventually take action. So she decided to follow after Lily and find out what was wrong with her.Lily entered a small break rok. And immed
The Safehouse
Eric walked into Adrian's office hurriedly without knocking, slamming open the door so hard that it rattled it's very framed. That single action already told Adrian the severity of whatever situation was brought to his doorstep this time.He looked up from the threat envelope that was on his desk. Vivian, who Adrian had called over a while back spun around from her workstation to look at Eric's rushed expression.Eric walked over to Adrian's desk and dropped a folder on it."I did it! I was able to trace the origin of the origin!"Adrian stood up abruptly, causing his seat to move backwards. "Where?""At first there were three dummy drops. All were dead ends on purpose." Eric said quietly, while opening the folder. "Then it was moved through a courier shell company. There were nonexistent staff. It was a classic misdirection. But sadly for them, I was able to locate it.""Wait! So who actually sent it?" Vivian asked, leaning in."That...is the part you are not going to like." Eric rel
A Confession
The very next day, Lily sat quietly in her office with her tablet in her hand, when a soft knock was heard on the door.She looked up, and at that moment Adrian pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw it was him, her fingers wrapped around the tablet tighter.She could still remember how they had found out the day before that Lily was a target the Foundation planned on using. Perhaps Adrian wanted to talk to her about it."Adrian? Is there something wrong?" She asked quietly.He didn't answer, but instead he walked over to her desk and placed something on it, before stepping aside.Lily's eyes widened as she looked at the content.It was a scalpel. And beside it an image of her captured while she was walking down one of the hallways. The picture was grainy, but it was still clear enough for her to decipher that it was her they had captured.The final item was a folded note. Adrian didn't bother opening it for her, instead he just stared at her as she reached out with shaky h
Another Deadly Trap
The alarms kept on ringing, causing more panic within the OR department.A nurse ran out of OR-3, raising her voice over the alarm. Loud enough for the other nurses to hear."It's the patient! Her vitals are crashing! Incision's ruptured—we're losing him!"Another voice came from behind."Call Chairman Cole and Dr. Monroe! Now!!"The corridor became scattered as the nurses began to scramble around, pushing carts and snapping gloves on their hands.Before some of the nurses could head out to call Adrian and Lily, they both burst through the OR doors.Lily appeared first, her breath slightly ragged before Adrian followed after looking slightly more composed than Lily.His eyes locked on to the collapsing patient and his expression immediately changed into something colder."What happened?" Lily exclaimed.One of the circulating nurses pointed at the patient's abdomen, completely pale with horror. "We don't know what happened. Her incision was reopened cleanly. Like it was cutLily felt
The New Surgeon
MMG felt strangely quiet the dawn after the surgery.The halls were only filled with the whispers of staff, and nothing else. Nurses walked around quickly. Resident that would've usually been asleep around that time were lingering outside the surgery.They pretended to be reviewing charts but it was clear they were waiting for gossip.The overnight staff exchanged uneasy glances as they watched the morning shift staff arrive one by one.One of the staff murmured. "I heard a patient almost died in the OR last night. Is that true?"Another from the end of the hall whispered. "Security has been doubled again. Why? Did something happen?""I didn't see Chairman Cole leaving the building last night." One of the nurses said."Yes! Dr.Mknroe slept here as well. And that never happens."The single pieces of rumors kept on watching together to form a single truth. Something big had happened once again.Meanwhile, over in one of the restricted research labs. The soft light radiating from the ris
Dr. Seraphina Vale
MMG had seen it's fair share of royalty, celebrities, billionaires, foreign dignitaries.But none of them had ever walked in the was the new Surgeon just did.The automatic front doors opened softly.The moment she stepped inside, all eyes were on her. The lobby was instantly frozen, some conversation cut off mid sentence.Nurses continuously shot stares at her. Two residents straightened their scrubs subconsciously.Even some of the security has to adjust their stance the moment they saw her passing.Whispers began to spread instantly."Is that the new surgeon?""I don't like her. She's new hear, yet she is already walking like she owns the place.""I wonder where MMG found her."Everything about the woman before them felt unsettling, and it wasn't just her beauty.Even the way she walked felt different.Before she could leave the lobby, Adrian walked out of the Research wing with a slightly exhausted stride.Immediately his eyes landed on Seraphine, his body went still.Noticing
Seraphina’s First Surgery
The hospital felt more alive than ever today. Almost everyone was moving through the OR wing carrying the same expression, and that was curiosity.Because today was the day that the new surgeon, Seraphina's Vale would perform her first surgery in MMG.It was a Level IV reconstructive case, and on her first week as well.No got that kind of approval, unless someone exceptional had wanted them on stage, or they were exceptional.The nurses gathered around the OR board while whispering in quiet voices."Level IV? Already? Isn't that too much for someone who just came newly?""Who does that on day three?""I heard Chairman Cole is going to be supervising from the observation deck. That's how you know that this is serious.""Or it might be suspicious too..."The hype for the surgery was so much, that even senior surgeons pretended they were just passing through, even though they were walking slow enough that it would be convenient for them to watch what was happening through the windows.A
A Hidden Identity
The cafeteria had a faint aroma of pepper soup, burned toast and disinfectant that seemed to seer through the air.That combination usually seemed to calm Lily's nerves after a stressful morning. But today, nothing seemed to be working.She sat down at the far corner of the cafeteria, hidden behind a pillar, away from the gossiping cluster of both the nurses and the residents.Her tray of food was untouched, the soup already becoming lukewarm and the bread cooling at the sides.She needed this quiet time after watching that surgery. Adrian had already told her not to worry about it too much, but deep within, she couldn't forget about how the incision and the stitches were done.Suddenly, the noisy cafeteria suddenly hushed, as conversations instantly changed to curious murmuring.Lily didn't even bother looking up to know who had walked in. After all, only one person could shift the atmosphere like this.It was Seraphina.Lily's shoulders stiffened as she heard the soft footsteps echo
A Dangerous Plot
A full week had passed since Seraphina had been welcomed into MMG. But the welcome that was given, wasn't what she deserved.So a meeting had been held by the Board of MMG and they all came to agreement. They would host a sponsor dinner.The sponsor dinner was something that MMG did every year. It was like a formality to showcase MMG's prestige.Crystal chandeliers were hanged above the massive hall. Silverware that looked barely touched was arranged on massive tables.A lot of large figures in Echelon City usually attended these sponsor dinners. Some came to praise MMG for their growth and success.Others came to look for potholes they could use to overthrow MMG.But this time, they all came for one person. Seraphina.They had heard of the new talented surgeon MMG had gotten, and they were all eager to see what sort of a person she was.And now the perfect stage was set for her with this sponsor dinner.Seraphina entered the hall thirty minutes late. Her steps weren't rushed as she p
The Investigation Deepens
While the dinner was ending, back in MMG, the night had a completely different atmosphere.Most of the wards were dark and the hallways were quiet enough to hear the little sounds the ventilation systems made.Lily walked carefully through the Research wing. Even though she was moving quietly, each step seemed to echo louder than the other and every camera she passed made her heart thump harder.She reached the restricted cyber archive before she stopped there. Vivian was already inside.The room glowed a cold blue light from the dozen monitors that were still turned on.Vivian sat in front of the largest terminal in the room, her eyes narrowed as her fingers rapidly glided across the keyboard.When Lily closed the door as she walked in, Vivian immediately whispered without looking up."Lock it. If Seraphina is who I actually think she is, then she'll know we're looking for information."Lily felt her heart stuttered, but she didn't argue.She slid the bold of the door into place, mak
