Chapter 279 - Until unless
Jean knows how persistent Scott is, she is sure that he will somehow manage to get his way to stay with her. For the whole day Jean didn't even touch her books nor her mobile, by every passing hour Scott started to become very clingy and never allowed her out of his arms.
Meanwhile in Country D...
Enrick is immersed in preparing for his exam. He is in his study room which is twice of his bedroom, walls are clamped with various research papers, thesis and many other stuff.
If any one would see his room they will surely classify him as a weird scientist. His table is filled with various reference books and his laptop is showing the practical analysis. Unlike Jean who is spending her time on bed, he totally isolated himself in his study room.
He remember every exact word Scott spoke, but his mind is revolving around specifically one word 'wife'. Though he knew Jean would never become his it still hurts to see her with other man. He could imagine what she will be indulged in doing now.. It hurts him even to think about it
Ignoring his sore heart he started concentrating on his exam when his mobile beeped. It is sensor notification that someone has entered his pent house using passcode. Tapping the short cut he looked through hidden camera while one of his palm wrapped around the gun. His eyes turned vigilant and sharp…
But after seeing that it is Iris and Jeff, he relaxed from his frenzy state. It is a three stored house, and might be the most expensive apartment in country D with very tight security and extravagant comforts. But Enrick is filthy rich that he doesn't care about anything, especially money and fame….are his least priorities.
Iris went inside the kitchen to prepare her special coffee for the brother and Jeff went inside the study room to meet his studios friend.
Looking at his friend's face he sighed. "Don't tell me that you are still thinking about yesterday's phone call. He called her his wife because their marriage is already fixed. But you still have a chance, Prince charming. Keep trying" Jeff comforted his friend.
Enrick frowned upon listening to him but quickly retaliated back. "Who said I am thinking about his words. I am worried about my project, if Jean didn't prepare for exams before handed then she have to study in university. Then how will she work on the thesis, I am worried because she is distracted and not serious as her before self"
But Enrick knew too well about Jean. When he talked with her the previous day he understood that she is well prepared with her exams. She is indeed a born genius in medical field and she doesn't need days and days to study.
After all she is still the daughter of Sophia Valdez and granddaughter of legendary Doctor Valdez. Jeff smirked oblivious to his friends thoughts.
"Okay man, whatever you say will go. But I eavesdropped my mother's conversation earlier with one of your professor, your exams are goanna be as tough as hell." He patted Enrick's shoulder while Iris came up with two coffee's.
Jeff came to wish his friend good luck. He will be going back to country S to look into their new hospitals that are being constructed, as he will only come after a week he visited his friend and girlfriend one last time before leaving.
After he left, Enrick looked at his sister. "Iris, how did Elder Summers approved Jean. What about the rift" he asked. Till now he thought it would stop them from talking last step of their relationship.
"Elder Summers found out Jean's identity as daughter of Sophia and moreover the misunderstanding has been resolved" Iris said while sipping his coffee. Her soft and warm voice is nowhere to be seen but it is replaced with guarded and professional tone. "They will be marrying soon and in no time Jean will know about her real family" Iris sighed.
"Hmm...but no one know about this except Maria and Lillian. How did he find out, this isnt good for Jean… it isnt right time yet" Enrick frowned and his brows creased revealing his tensed state.
"Lillian Black is awake. Jeff told me that he saw her in Seline's engagement" Iris told quietly. Yet her voice is chilly enough….just like Jean.
Enrick who is catching a book in his hand dropped it all in sudden. His eyes opened wide and looked at Iris as if she is joking.
"Impossible, her condition is no where near to that state. It is a miracle until unless.." his voice trailed off as he grabbed his laptop and started checking something.
"Until unless what" Iris frowned. Her brother has been checking the condition of Lillian since two years. So, he knew very well how her health was..
"Until unless someone forcibly woke her up" he said worriedly and concern etched on his face.
"But brother. It isnt possible right" Though Iris is not aware of medicine, Her brother and boyfriend taught her a basic knowledge.
"It is possible but the medicine is still under testing. There will be many adverse effects and it cannot be easily found" Enrick explained.
"You mean someone else are also aware of Jean and Jeff's identity." Not even Jeff himself know that he is Sophia's son but not Maria's.
"Yeah, but it will be taken care of. Don't worry and go back home. Your dad is worried about you" Enrick patted his sister's head and walked out of the room with his mobile.
In this five days it is the first time he came out of his room. "Iris, I will be staying in dorms from tomorrow evening. Be careful and take care of yourself" he said and walked away.
