“I am fine.” Her voice was dry with no emotion, like she wasn’t looking forward to whatever he was about to do.He sighed. “I’ll be taking your blindfold off.” He informed her.“Okay.” She said without any hesitation. It was more like she had prepared herself and was giving the impression of 'just get on with it.'Julain exchanged glances with Britanny before extending his hand to the back of her head and pulling the blindfold slowly. As soon as he did, her eyes were exposed. They looked swollen to the point that her eyelids were covered entirely.The blindfold had actually been suppressing it, or else by now it would have swollen far more than this.“The chemical is solvent-based burn, not alkali, or else it would have melted through the layers by now,” Jualin said as he scrutinized her swollen eyes.“What does that mean?” Brittany leaned over as she asked. She looked through it, and the words were just too complicated for her to understand. Perhaps it was because she wasn’t versed

The room became silent as everyone stared at the bottles Julian had just shifted to the front. However, no one dared complain after everything they had seen and it actually did make sense that more treatment would be needed for proper results. For Emily especially, it was such a relief since by the end of the week, her daughter could see again and regain the life that was stolen from her—she could return to school and make friends too. Julian, on the other hand, began to wash the needles. He proceeded to clean them with some special herbs he bought before returning them to their boxes. “We are done here. Brittany, it’s almost night. I think it’s time we go home.” He announced as he looked towards her. She didn’t say anything but nodded. She still had a thing to say to Emily before they would leave. “Mr. Julian, thank you so much. May the heavens bless you for this.” Emma suddenly spoke, and his gaze dropped to the couch to look at her. “You can call me big brother.” He correcte

The way he began devouring it was like someone who hadn’t eaten for days. Well, he had actually not eaten for that long since he had been in bed for days now. He was only six years old even though he might look slightly bigger than his age. Everyone watched in silence, and only the sound of Lucas munching the chicken could be heard. He finished one and went into the next. Julian was happy that not only did he save the kid's life, but also, he was now in good health and could presently eat. He needed a lot of it to recover from what the parasite took from him. While he was lost in his head, Mr. Brown suddenly spoke from behind. “Mr. Julian, can we have a little chat?”Julian turned to look at him before he nodded. The doctors waited inside while Julian walked out with Mr. Brown. Lucien followed too, as it seemed they had a serious matter to talk about. When they were completely out of the ward, Mr. Brown smiled. “We never knew you were good with kids.” He commended. “Actually,

The words came directly into his ears, abruptly, causing the old man’s body to stiffen. His heart beat became rigid, almost like he was about to get a stroke. Who would dare come so close to him like this? He thought, as he turned around to take a look, but as soon as he did, it felt like the presence behind him vanished like it was never there in the first place. Then again, his breath caught, and he became conflicted, thinking that perhaps his senses might be having a breakdown due to old age or he must have misheard the whole thing. However, as much as he didn’t want to believe it, it sounded so true and real. His gaze dropped to his breast pocket, and that was when he saw it. An envelope with a red seal that was shaped like a moon on it. At once, his heart rate picked up the pace again. “People from the moon city? It seems they are tailing Julian fast and more than he knows.” He muttered to himself as he held out the envelope when shortly, Lucien returned from where he had gon

As for Julian, he arrived home and parked the car in the garage. Once again Lucas was very awed by how fancy the house was, like those in the movies, and there were stars in his eyes all through.The kid was beginning to open up slowly, and when he asked if he could stay there and not return to the orphanage home, Julian nodded, confirming that it was now his new home.To show him how serious he was, Julian went ahead to show him to his room, his bed, his space, his clothes, and so on. When he bought the house, they made provision for many things, as, after all, no one would buy such a big house and stay alone in it. It was expected that the buyer might want to start a family in it or move in with their family.As for Julian, it wasn’t yet defined but at least provision for it had been made. Julian felt it was very thoughtful of them, and now it had just been proven. After showing Luis around and asking him to try out the bed to see if it was comfortable, the boy broke into tears.T
