Leon takes out a handkerchief and carefully wipes her face. He hasn't seen this kind of fear in his sister's eyes. “What's the matter, Helen? Please, speak to me, and I will try to make things better.” He says. She looks up, her face stained with tears. “Damien. He ruins everything and it's frustrating. He announced the gold serum to the world. What have I ever done to that boy?” Leon feels his body go cold immediately. Helen has previously told him how dangerous releasing the drug at the wrong time would be. “I could kill him, you know.” She mutters. “I could kill him with my own hands.” “I won't allow you to do that, Helen. You are a strong woman, you are going to get through this. Get up,” he helps her to sit down. “We will brainstorm on how to deal with this. The cat is out of the bag, we will just have to find a way to make the situation favourable to us. Damien hasn't won just yet.” Helen looks down at her fingers. “Do you have anything in mind?” “Not at the moment, but

“Fuck!” Helen throws her phone to the ground. Thankfully, it's not destroyed. Damien has done a lot of stupid things over and over again, but this takes the crown. Like millions of people around the world, she watched Damien announce the production of a drug that was supposed to remain confidential. Her eyes are filled with fury and even her bodyguard looks so scared of her right now. Everyone runs out of the room, fearing that she would pour her rage on them. Leon is in the middle of a high-level surgery, so he hasn't seen the news yet. Helen is pacing around, her phone is blowing up, but she doesn't want to talk to anyone at the moment. Not even her worried twin sisters. “Boss, do you want me to do something about this?” Her bodyguard asks, his fingers flexing. He hates to see his boss getting worked up, and it's always because of Damien. “No, Richard, I don't want you to do anything. I know just how to handle this.” She pulls her blouse down, as if preparing herself for so

Damien feels on top of the world. If Leon is no longer in Helen's corner, then he has won this battle halfway. Leon wasn't easy to beat into submission, but he has done it. Since he can't seem to get rid of Leon, it's the next best thing to do to have him as the head Doctor. He will take all the glory, while Leon does all the work in the background. It is with this delightful smile that Damien goes to the office to see Helen. She has summoned him, like she does many times. “Good morning, sister.” He sits down before she even asks him to. “Have you seen Leon? He just appeared out of the blue once again.” “Yes, yes. I am just happy he is back because I have a lot of surgeries for him.” She says absent mindedly. She knows that Damien had something to do with Leon's disappearance, but she is not going to push it. For Leon's sake. “Damien, I was supposed to make an appearance at the annual Charity for children with cancer. I have made the donations already, I just need a represent

The nurse's heart has been heavy from the day that she lied against Leon because of the fear she has of Damien. She hasn't eaten well for days, and she cries in the night because she is sure that the Major has killed Leon. She sees Helen Shankly going about, looking for Leon, and she tries to make the move to say something to her, but her heart fails her many times. She also thought of going to see Major Smith to tell him that she made a mistake, but she is so weak in spirit and mind. That doesn't mean that she doesn't come for her shift every single day. She keeps up a brave face, but her heart skips anytime she sees Helen, or whenever Damien smirks in her direction. She is preparing to go and attend to her fourth patient for the day, when she suddenly gasps and holds her chest in fright. “Are you a ghost?! Doctor Leon, are you really in front of me?!” She shudders. Leon laughs as he gets close to her. He drops his hands on her shoulders to comfort her, and also to show her th

The shoebox slips from MJ's hand and the money falls to the ground in slow motion. She didn't expect this from Leon at all. Its true that she has found herself to be falling for the man she met few months ago, but she was hoping that he would ask her to be his girlfriend. The wife thing is a huge leap for her. Leon sees the mixture of fear and shock in her eyes, so he immediately cups her cheeks and speaks to her softly. “MJ, I know this is coming as a shock to you, but I have never been more sure of something. I love you, MJ, and I will be the happiest man if you agree to marry me.” He says. Her eyes wells with tears. “Leon, are you sure of what you are saying?” Leon's eyebrows bunches. Is she having second thoughts about this? Maybe it's because his ex-wife, Selina, told her all those lies. “I know Selina told you a lot of lies about me. It's true that I am poor and an orphan, but I promise you that I will work myself to death to give you comfort. I will be the best husban

Leon knew that day for a very long time. This is the day that his friendship with MJ would be put to the test. After she has heard that he has a heavy debt on his head, she slumps back into her seat and stares at the ceiling. “They want you dead?” She asks. “They just want their money.” Leon runs his hands over his face. “They beat me so hard, I don't think I will be able to recover mentally from this for a very long time.” “Jesus,” MJ mutters. “Well, how much is it?” Leon thinks about the question very carefully. Then, he answers. “A hundred thousand dollars.” “Oh, Leon…” MJ heaves, her hand pressed over her mouth. “I know, it's bad, I'm a terrible person.” Leon shakes his head. “It was hard because my mother was sick, and I had to attend medical school. It was the only way out, I'm not proud of it.” MJ stands up and starts to pace around the room. She has never had to worry about money in her life, not until now. The truth of the matter is that MJ has never really had th
