  On the other hand, if Hank's health failed, Greg would basically be fired, as he was more or less a health consultant to Hank.And should Hank be admitted to a specialist hospital, there wasn't much he could do either.Hence, even as Hank remained in a good mood a moment ago, he was suddenly dying inside as he fumbled for his phone, stammering, "Houston… We have a problem."Andrew was the first to laugh. "Oh, congratulations, Hank! We've been waiting the whole night for this one… So, what's the anomaly here?Hank really wasn't in the mood for jokes and snapped at Andrew right then, "Shut up! Are you trying to jinx me?!"Andrew was left aggrieved. "But you're the one who said that there was something wrong! Why would you snap at me like that?"Hank bellowed furiously, nonetheless, "I'd rather be normal with just minor anomalies and definitely not pancreatic cancer! As it turns out, my CA199 count is several dozen times above normal, and the doctor said that pancreatic cancer is th

  Greg pursed his lips in discomfort.Did Hank just happen to have a few screws loose today? Is that why he was looking forward to being sick?Considering what Hank had just said, he began, "Sir, I must apologize that I've actually noticed a fresh perspective thanks to what you just said. If anything, I think it kind of makes sense as there may be phenomena that can never be explained by science—metaphysics, as one would put it."Hank nodded in agreement. "That's the case for the world itself—everyone only sees what they each want to see, remaining ignorant of that which they have not seen before."Pausing, he then waved him off, saying, "Let's put that aside for the moment and get down to business… So, what was the issue you've found?"Greg quickly said, "Your CA199 levels are a bit high…"Hank remained excited as he asked, "How is that relevant? What does it have to do with erectile issues? I'm really not getting it up lately—does that figure have something to do with that?""Er

  Greg grinned and nodded. "You got that right—Hank has been hoping to have some symptoms detected, and it's almost as though it worries him more if there's nothing.""Goddamn…" Pat adjusted his glasses as he asked, "I mean, that's fine… But he's not going to like his CA199 levels freaking out, is he?"Greg's smile stiffened on his face, and it took him a while to come to his senses. "His CA199 levels are freaking out? Are you kidding?"Being Hank's personal doctor, Greg knew everything about Hank's health.But the CA199 protein was used as a tumor marker, primarily for monitoring pancreatic cancer along with other GI tract cancers.While there were a variety of tumor markers for different parts of the body, it was a consistent rule that all tumor markers would always stay under normal levels—unless cancer cells were growing.If it rose beyond the normal ranges, that meant that there was a good chance of cancer. While there were always the isolated cases of false positives, the tum

  Other results were soon brought to Hank in his room, but strangely, nothing was found, whether it was for toxins, heavy metals, or even radioactive substances.Any normal person would be smiling with such a clean bill of health, but Hank wasn't.If anything, he wasn't as calm as he was at first.Bemused, Greg asked, "Sir, there's nothing, and you're clearly fine… so can I just ask, why the long face?"Hank remained seething—he couldn't just say that he was hoping for an anomaly that could be linked to his impotence, could he?As such, he instead said, "I visited Oskia recently, and they seem to think that people live a little longer if they have little things that ail the body. It's those who didn't and always seemed perfectly healthy that would die instantly… don't you think so?""Well…" Greg hesitated for a while, and then smiled as he said, "I can't say I fully agree with that? If anything, it looks like survivorship bias to me. It's never the little ailments that keep the p

  While the cabal's chat group was being jovial, twenty minutes soon passed.Then, Greg arrived with a report and told Hank, "Sir, the blood test results just came, and every stat appears to be normal. Even your glucose and lipid levels are improving, and you appear to be in better health than last time.""Sounds about right," Hank replied, smiling. "I've been basically fasting for a few days now, since I have a lot on my mind."Greg smiled in turn. "It seems that the rumors really affected you in a bad way, but don't worry, you won't be bothered any longer."Hank nodded. "I sure hope so."-An hour later, the scan results for Hank's heart arrived, too, and Greg was once again announcing that everything was normal and healthy.Hank was even more delighted and shared the good news with his cabal in the group chat.As promised, none of them had gone to bed, and all of them were staying up to wait as Hank waited for the result of every statistic.Still, it wasn't until past midnigh

  Hank quickly stopped Andrew, "No, just calm down for the moment—we don't have much of a hand to play against Julien anyway, so just let sleeping dogs lie for now. If you make a sudden move, we might even get punished worse.""Well, what should we do?" Andrew asked.Hank thought about it and sighed. "We wait. Let's just calm down and wait for my medical report for now. If we were poisoned, let's uncover what poison was used and whether we can treat it Stateside. If we can, then everyone will be happy, and we won't be at their mercy."If they still decide to push us, we can just publicize each other's dirty secrets. They would tell everyone about the stuff that went on that island, while we exposed that he and Tanya are actually dating and tried to blackmail us!""Alright, I guess we'll wait, then," Anderson replied. "Just remember to tell us right away how your blood test goes."Hank said, "The nurse said all the test results will be out consecutively in twentyish minutes, so that
